ENORMOUS COST OF

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-At' the close
OF 1915 the war has cost more than
twenty-sfx billion dollars, exceeding
by five hundred million, the total ma
tional debts Of the six principal bel
Hgerent powers when the conflict be.
gan. With the exception of about five
million raised in the united kingdom
by taxation, practically all the ex-
penses OF the war have been met by
borrowed money. The end Of 1915
therefore, finds the fighting nations
saddled with double the debt they had
accumulated in all the centuries pre-
ceding the outbreak of the war.
In the early days Of the war, the
most liberal estimate of It's cost, in
Guiding the destruction Of property,
and the economic losses caused by
casualties, was fifty million dollars
per day. The actual expense now, ex-
elusive OF economic and property
OF this amount the quadruple entente
is paying two-thirds and the teutonic
allies one.third. If the war continues
through the winter the cost will prob
ably rise to hundred million per
day. The interest for war loans which
the war has already imposed on
Europe's future generations Is about
billion, two hundred million per year
Every week the war lasts fixes an
additional annual interest burden on
the belligerents of twenty-five million.
Colossal taxation will have to be
imposed on the soldiers when they
return home after peace Is declared.
The belligerents will be bowed be-
enath the burdens OF the war debts.
The Germans for time this year be-
lieved it might be possible for them
to evade their cost Of the conflict by
compelling the quadruple entente
powers to pay full indemnity. DR..
Helfferioh, the German minister Of f.
nance, made this statement in the
reichstag last August But as the
years fighting continued with con-
stantly increasing expenditures, the
German government changed It's mind
ABOUT the possibility of any belliger-
ent being able to escape from the f.
nancial net. DR.. Helfferich. therefore,

somewhat sharply, under covering

recede again and the general market
