A TERRIBLE TOLL
Enormous Sums Wasted in War-Ber-
lin Paper Says Money Spent in
Conflict Would Have Made
Earth a Paradise.

Berlin, The Berliner Tage-
blatt sums up the results of the war
to date as follows:
"War loans, $4,000, 100000; loss in
dead and wounded 100000 men;
killed 100000 men; crippled for life
5000, 900 men; loss through decrease Of
birth rate in all belligerent countries
100000 men.
"The gold production of the world
during the last 500 years amounted
to 15,OOO,0OO,O0O or less than one
fifth of the cost of the awful world
war;" the paper continues. "In IS gold
pieces the eighty-seven billions raised
in war loans would form belt that
could be wound around the earth nine
times.
"The funeral cortege of the 100000
men killed would reach from Paris to
Vladivostok, if one hearse followed the
other.
when the war began the combined
public debt of all European States was
little over twenty-five billions and
now it is over hundred and twelve
billion dollars. The British merchant
fleet in 1914 represented value of
about $95O,OO0,OO0. That is less than
the annual interest England now has
to pay for her war debt. Before the
war Germany exported goods to the
amount of $113,00O,000 per year to the
British colonies. BY cutting off this
export England can eventually reim-
burse herself for her losses, but this
will take more than 200 years.
Germany, with the amount spent
by her for the war, could have bought
all the cotton fields, the copper mines
and the whole petroleum industry of
the United States and still would have
had several billion dollars left over.
Russia, with her war expenses,
might have covered her immense ter
ritories with net of railways as close
as that of Belgium; and France, whose
losses in men are larger than the en-
tire male population of Alsace-Lor-
raine, could have bought all the Portu-
guese and Dutch colonies with the
money she sacrificed for the war.
with the enormous wealth destroy
ed by the war Europe might have been
made paradise on earth instead of a
bowling wilderness. There is no doubt
that the awful struggle would have
been avoided II the nations had an
idea of its enormity when 1t started"

THE CLERGY OF INDIA.

The hierarchy of India, according
to the Bombay Examiner, consisted at
the outbreak of the waHof nine arch

these two archbishops were German,
and two bishops of the same race.
There were approximately 2,4OO priests
ministering to the vast population OF
this great colony. About half of these
are natives; $50 we're European Jes-
uits, Of whom 60 were German. In
