War: Costs Uncle Sam
Daily l4.3 Times More
Than It Does the Kaiser

According to Government ex-
perts. 1t is costing Uncle Sam to
put one man in the field just 14.3
times what II costs Germany.
This proportion applies also to
the maintenance OF armies in the
field.
The great difference is explained
by the higher pay of our soldiers
and the high cost OF supplies and
labor and transportation.
The comparison is being used to
point out that economy, not re-
sources, may eventually win the
war.

GERMANY'S DIFFICULTIES
Z PROBABLY TRANs|TORY
American Statesmen Believe That
Rise and Fall Of officials Has
Little Significance.
GREAT UNREST is ADMITTED
Expected to Lead to Sensational In.
ternai Changes in Personal---very.
When General Staff Is Reached VIII
Crust Of Militarism Be Broken.
Inv Associatcd Press.1

WASHINGTON. July 11.-Germany's
latest political difficulties are regarded
by officials here as due largely to in
ternal problems. and probably Of q
transitory nature only.
The dismissal of Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman. Minister Of Finance
Helfferich. or even Chancellor Won
Bcthmann- Hollwcg himself would be
considered largely a surface movement.
for not until the great army general
will the real crust Of German mill
tarism be broken.
The German Foreign Office. it was
pointed out to-day. has served during
tho war merely as means to get
military leaders out of trouble. De-
cisions have been made without refer
ence TO the civil branch. and matters
brought to the attention OF the latter
only when it was desired to negotiate
way out of the difficulty.
American officials agree with allied
diplomats here that tho rise and fall
OF the German officials has little signifi-
canoe on Germanys military and for
eiEn policies.
ENORMOUS AMOUNT i.
OF UNREST EXISTS
Nevertheless. it is agreed that there
is an enormous amount OF unrest in
Germany to-day. which, In all proba-
bility. will lead to sational internal
changes In personnel OF the govern
ment and in reform of the obvious
abuses OF the German governmental
system. The German peace party is
very active. and the general opposition
to the unreprescntative form of gov
eminent has centered attention on the
extreme powers of the Junkers and
Pan-Germans. who are being held in
creasingly responsible for the ills Of
the country.
Fundamental internal reform in Ger
many is felt here TO be only a matter
of time. Those who have most recent
~ been to Germany say that reform
is absolutely certain the moment the
war is over. and that the chances
greatly favor initial steps being taken
even during hostilities.
Austria's influence is becoming moro
and moro insistent toward a liberal
peace. Austria is said TO be treated
most contemptuously by German Of
ficials. and given consideration only
as the unavoidable weak link in the
chain. Nevertheless. it is known that
she would make peace tomorrow IL
possible and her activity in consulting
German statesmen and political lead
ers is undoubtedly causing worry at
German headquarters.
