ENORMOUS COST OF WAR

Frank @. Huston. writing in the
Chicago Herald, gives figures on the
enormous cost OF the European war
In a way to make them interesting and
appalling from their very magnitude.
Huston estimates that the war has
cost the belligerents, TO date. $4,000.
O00. 900. or ten times as much as the
twenty-,hree years during which Ma
poleon Bonaparte fought the rest Of
Europe.
Great Britain's part OF this eXpendi-
ture is estimated at $15.s40. 10000;
Frances at $4,000. 100000: Russia's,
$40. 75O. 00O. coo: Italy and the other en-
tente allies. s5.s40. OOo. 900. or a total
of S4O.s50, OOO. 900 for the entente pow
ers
The cost to the central powers is es-
timated at s21, APO. 600 900. OF which
$I3,s3o. 100000 has fallen upon Ger
many.
OF the amount expended by the
allies. S34,l25. 600 900 has been cared
for by war loans. while the central
powers cared for s1S,366. 600 900 In the
same way.
The outstanding feature OF Huston's
statement Is that the war has not i'm
paired to any serious extent Great
Britain's financial strength.
Great Britain's present debt is Si7.-
000. 000. 900. and her war loans amount
TO sI7.s5l. 900, 900. which is about
equal to her annual savings
II has been estimated b. such an
authority as Henry =. Dawson that. at
the beginning Of the war. Great Britain
held foreign and home investments in
excess OF $4,000. oO0. 900. which is
about the amount OF the present in
debtedness of the four allied nations,
Great Britain, France. Russia and
Italy.
Hence. it would appear from the
financial side. that the entente powers
are better able TO continue the war for
a long period than are the central
allies.

TRAVELLING MAN
KILLED At RENO

What started out TO be the celebra-
ton of a general good time wound up
Monday morning with one man lying
dead, two men in the city Jail with
charge OF murder hanging over their
beads and three women implicated in
the tragedy that has yet to be un.
rayeled.
The dead man is J. u. Campbell, a
travelling salesman for the Hamilton
Brown Shoe House and temporarily a
guest at the Riverside Hotel, In Reno.
The two men in jail are Laurence Luz
cieh and Chris Milovich. both well
known young men OF Reno. The wo.
men In the party were Mrs. Lucich.
Mrs. Daisy Reayes, connected with one
OF the cigar stands In Reno, and a
cabaret entertainer called Margaret.
The tragedy occurred at Jack Vera S
road house, between Sparks and Reno.
in the early hours OF the morning.
The details Of the affair are not very
complete. AS far as can be ascer.
talned the party OF six had been max.
ing merry all OF the evening and had
finally wound up at the Vera road
house. Here the party waved hilarious
and wine flowed freely and the party
became more or less intoxicated A
quarrel arose among the men in the
party and one word followed another
and during tho skirmish that followed,
Campbell was struck over the head
either with siphon or a beer bottle.
The blow resulted In a fracture OF the
mans SKULL Tribune.

English history as the first Duke of
Newcastle, was commander of King

she depicted him as a most illustrious
prince" and in every respect the pink
of perfection.
The work was supposed to be entire
ly authentic and truthful. for Sir Will
liam himself assisted in its preparation.
1t was Published early in 1861 and
many complimentary copies were sent
out, including one to the officials of St.
Johns college. Cambridge university.
In acknowledging its receipt they
wrote:
Your excelIency's book will not only
survive our university. but hold date
even with time itself, and incontinent-
ly this age by reading your book will
lose it's barbarity and rudeness, being
made tame by the elegance of your
style and manner"
But old Samuel Pepys was not quite
so favorably impressed. In his cele-
brated DIARY" under date of March
IS, 1867. he made this entry: "Staid at

climbs the trunks of the fruit trees and
deposits her eggs. These hatch out in
the spring. and the caterpillars soor
devour the young leaves. Heretofore
it has been comparatively easy to COM
bat the ravages of the pest. Seeing
that the female is unable to fly, fruit
growers place bands of sticky sub
stance round each tree. The female,
in climbing the trunk, comes to the
band and is held fast.
But a wonderful thing has happened,
SAYS the Manchester England Guar
dian. In recent years the female moth
has been found from time to time above
the band, and how she got there was a
mystery. Finally, however, an ento-
mologist expert unveiled lit. He saw
the male and female moths together
above the band on the tree-the male
evidently having just deposited the fe-
male
There appears to be little doubt, adds
the Guardian. that in this we have a
remarkable adaptation to circum-
stances. The female cannot fly, but the
male can, and it would seem that he
had flown to the higher part Of the
tree, carrying his wife upon his back.
This is one Of the most striking discov-
cries in natural history and is creating
much interest among nature students.

Eating When Trampina.

Experiments have shown that ami
mails which demand a mixed diet will
starve as surely and almost as quickly
when fed on a one sided diet, even
though it be large in bulk. as when de-
prived of food altogether, and the same
thing holds true for men. Hunger of a
moderate degree is not prejudicial to
strength and vigor, provided it be what
might be termed general hunger. The
thing to be carefully guarded against
on a hard march is the tremendous
hunger for some particular food con-
tent, such as sweet or fat or starch,
which we so often find in the case of a
carelessly equipped expedition. A well
rounded ration is worth two which are
not so. The man who has this prin-
ciple firmly in mind has made long

ANOTHER RECORD In STEEL
Steel Corporation is Expected To
Show 7,7S9,OOO Tons Ordered.

New York, Jan. S.-The Deem
Der statement of the United States
Steel Corporation is expected to show
untitled orders amounting to Z
$4,000 tons, which if correct will
be the largest untitled tonnage since
Jan. l, 1913.
This estimate is based upon ship
ments of approximately l,25O,OOO
tons The output of ingots and roll
ed products last month was the hea-
West in the history of the corpora
ton. The performances of the indie
pendent steel plants were equally
phenomenal.
Since January 1, if bookings have
been at a smaller rate than in De-
cember, it is only because the mills
have refused to accept the contracts
offered. Specifications are over
whelming and the plants have con-
centrated their efforts on increasing
shipments to the utmost. The rails

will help to relieve the freight con-
sestion. Foreign inquiries for steel
products were again enormous TINS
week, but contracts for only about
10000 tons were actually closed.
War munition orders amounted to
about 10000 tons. Among the larg-
est foreign inquiries were two for
10000 tons of barbed wire for
France and Great Britain. Negotia-
lions on 100000 contract for
shells are being delayed for lack of
cable confirmation from Russia. A
subcontract for three-inch shells for
Great Britain also is awaiting the
establishment of credit.
Railroads placed orders for TO-
900 tons of rails and received speci-
fications on $4,000 tons, the latter
for the st. Louis and San Francisco
and for the Southern Railway. The
