On Lord Northcliffe's estimate that
it costs $50 a week to maintain an
American soldier in France we can
get some idea of what that factor
may cost the country. If we have
million soldiers in France a year
hence we will be paying 80 millions
week to support them, and if we
have 2 millions year from next fall
it will cost 100 millions a week, or at
the rate of over billions a year.
As the enemy is fighting at home its
cost of maintaining armies is much
smaller.
What does a billion mean. If a
railway train, proceeding at the rate
of a mile a minute, had been at the
dawn of the Christian era started
around the earth on a straight track,
its object being to run l billion miles
without a stop, it would have been
necessary for that train to circle the
earth 10000 times, and it would not
have come to the end of its journey
until nearly New Years Eve, 1923,
16 centuries after Christ was born.
During its frantic flight it would have
seen the Savior live and die; Rome
rise, flourish and decay; Britain dis
covered and vanquished by the Ro-
man legions, and London and Paris
built. 1t would have proceeded on its
journey throughout the Dark Ages.
It would have witnessed the birth of
Columbus, the discovery of America
and have a couple of hundred years
vet to continue.
