WARS MONEY COST

hl IL HNNAN
W principal nations at war
is estimated by the Fed
eral Reserve Board at SAC, ,000,-
100000, according to a finan-
cial writer. This is about one
sixth of their national wealth,
as reported before the begin
ming of hostilities. 1t is rising
steadily at the rate of $1OO,
100000 a day.
Almost inconceivable as
these figures are, they do not
represent the cost of the war.
Billions have been accumulated
by taxation and other billions
by the issue of paper money.
No account is taken either Of
property destroyed or produc-
tive industry paralyzed. The
debts and losses of the minor
countries involved are not con-
sidered.
Before this conflict began,
PERSONS opposed to great arma'
lnents used to point to the anna
zing fact that the principal ma
tions were spending $3,O0O,-
900, 900 a year for military pur-
poses. Now they are spending
that sum every month. All the
wars of the nineteenth century
are said to have cost $26, ,OOO,-
100000. This war has cost
twice that already. The cost
of our Civil War has been esti-
mated at S5,OOO,0OO,000. Great
Britain alone has spent three
times that amount since Aug.
/, 1914.
AS the principal creditor ma
ton, the United States has a
profound interest in the financ.
es of the belligerents, and the
Federal Reserve Board per-
forms an important public ser
vice when from time to time it
calls attention to the facts.
Z
That the point of exhaustion OF
credit as we'll as of men has
not yet been reached is evident,
but it would be madness to as
sumo that the present waste OF
life and treasure can go on in
definitely.

GERMANS BEATEN IN
BLOODY ENCOUNTER

ASSOCIATED Press by us. Naval Wireless)
LONDON, Eng, Sept. 26-Following
a heavy bombardment of the advanced
British lines on the Ypres-Menin front,
the scene of the last successful Rrit-
ish drive, Crown Prince Rupprecht
launched a heavy infantry assault
yesterday and for a time the British
were driven back, in heavy fighting.
The greater portion of the British
lines held, but on narrow front the
shock troops of the Kaiser drove
through and came hand to hand with
the Australians and Tommies.
The weight of numbers finally drove
the British into their supporting
trenches and against these a second
German assault was hurled.
Ground All Reeained
This time the British beat back
their foe, with heavy losses, despite
the arrival of fresh German battalions.
In the meanwhile the British rein
forcement had been hurried to the
threatened breach in the line and
these, with the survivors of the first
fighting, charged the front line trench
es and the Germans were hurled back,
leaving hundreds of dead and many
prisoners.
Last night, following the battle, the
British held all their positions intact.
Teutons Beaten
This was the feature of yesterdays
activity along the various battlefronts,
although there was some heavy fight
ing on the Bainsizza plateau, where
the Austrians vainly endeavored to re-
lieve the Italian pressure by a series
of assaults upon the enemy's lines,
and southeast of Riga when the Ger
mans attempted heavy counter
against the positions recently regained
by the Russians. In both instances
the Teutons were thrown back.
