BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Aug. IS Special -
The awful cost Of the war has begun to
make an impression. The discussion Of
the tax bin brings 1t home TO the peo-
pie. Here In Washington, where the
war has created "A boom, 1t is not felt
save by those who have TO pay more
and receive no benefits.
But the men who levy the taxes are
aware that there IL a tremendous cost
in war these DAYS. From time to time
men give the totals of the cost Of other
wars. The civil war lasting more than
four years and costing eight billions.
In one lump sum, the first bin congress
provided, seven billions for the war
was voted, and the best estimate is
seventeen billions for the first year.
That these are staggering hgAres one
can learn from private conversation
with public men. We do not have to
rely upon the statements in public.
Confidence In the West.
Men from the west profess unbound

not believe hat the eruptions that have
