there's an error or two In the stories

the work Of the newspaper man. It's

SOME FIGURES ON THE
COST OF THIS WAR
Az Figured Out by George Hav
kips, Of Holly

It has been estimated by Congress
sional committees that have been
attempting to find out the cost Of
the first year of the war in which
we are about to engage that the
lowest estimate that can be made
that it will be about l6 billion dol
lars.
II we add to this amount the
billion that we have loaned THE Al
lies and the billion that we have
already made arrangements to
spend in the preparation. we find
the total of 25 billion dolloars.
In order to get some kind of a
practical idea how much that is,
let us put It into pounds and tons.
It takes nearly 1S silver dollars to
weigh one pound.
