What the War Is Costing.
The war is now costing in direct
governmental expenditure $l10.O00,-
900 a day: $3.50 600 an hour: $4,000
a minute; and l,270 q second

The end of the second year Of the
great war finds the Germans in posses
sion of more Of Europe than they held
on August l, 1915. the first anniversary
of the start Of the great conflict.
This is practically the only respect
in which the situation Is more favor
able to them. Russia, her vast man
power at last organized and furnished
with implements of destruction in
plenty, is battering the Teuton lines
on the east and has already won back
$500 square miles. Great Britain
boasts five million men in her army
and navy. France fights as strongly as
ever. Italy is increasing her formi-
dableness.
Austria appears to be losing heart
and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to
send re-enforcements to the west or
Russian fronts. Turkey shows slight
offensive power.
The British navy, following the
much-disputed naval battle of Jutland,
still shuts of Germany from use of
the seas. One German merchant sub
marine has reached America, but the
supplies which can be carried over
to the besieged nations in U-boats will
be of little account.
Germany and Austria both feel the
pinch Of hunger. Their armies are
sufficiently fed, but their industrial
workers complain Of lack Of nourish-
ment. The present harvest is watched
with anxiety, and If it fails or is only
of fair size. famine will stalk into the
situation next spring, or earlier.
Germany Seeks Reasonable Peace:"
The German chancellor three times
in the reichstag has offered peace to
the entente. On account of this, for
midable opposition has arisen to him
at home, although he is the kaiser's
"other SELF" His friends are rallying
to his defense, and on August 1 of the
present year begins the curious eoun-
try-wide lecture campaign to prepare
the minds of the hitherto docile Ger
man people for a reasonable peace"
Meanwhile, with the sky frightening,
the entente allies reaffirm their resplu-
ton, taken in the dark hours of EAST
winter, never to cease their efforts ill
Germany is crushed. The Teutons not
only must be beaten in war, according
tc the allied formula, but must be re-
pressed economically for many years
after the signing Of treaty Of peacA.

TO END DOUBLES TODAY
Jencks and Croft Picked to Win Final
Net Championship.

The doubles tennis cham pionship of
the city will be decided this afternoon
on the Y. NJ. c. A. courts. The worst
upset of the whole tennis week-and
its annex-was in the defeat by scores
of 3-6, 1913, Ga, of MacGregor and
Mitchell by Blinn and Thompson. Of
the latter pair Blinn played a beautiful
game, cross counting the other players
time and again and playing all of his
shots with the best doubles sense.
Mitchell and MacGregor were way
off their game, and their team work
was distinctly faulty. Mitchell missed
opportunity after opportunity to come
to the net which his opponents took
advantage of.
Weiskirch and Nettels defeated the
youngsters, Beal and Davis, by 6-3
