Enormous Increase in Worlds War Burdenj
Total Indebtedness Reaches S175,0OO,O

and in 1917 they were estimated al 500
n00. O00.n 400. This year expenses have
run only a little above the rate last
year.
About sl5O.oo0 100000 Of the total
war cost has been raised by WAT loans
Of various nations and comparatively
little by taxation. The public debt OF
the principal entente allies is calculat-
ed ut approximately sl05,0 0on.ooo.oo0 or
more than twice as much rs the agGrc-
gate debt OF the Central Powers. set at
$4,000, 200 900. This does not take into
consideration debt incurred since last
May.
Tho enormous size OF the war costs
and debt Is illustrated by comparison
with the ante-war debt Of the seven
principal hcllIgcrents which did not ex-
coed SIS. .00O,0 100000. The cost Of sup
PORTING this debt was only about $1,000
100000 n year Hereafter the annual
burden TO pay interest and sinking fund
allowances will be not less than S10.-
900. 900. 900 and probably much more.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Thc direct
cost Of the war for all belligercnt ma
tions TO last May l. was reported at
about SITS 600, 600. 600 by the federal re-
serve bank bulletin. issued today. and
ii is estimated that the cost will amount
to nearly 5000. 1000. .000, 900 before the end
OF this year. While their accuracy is
not vouChcd for. the bulletin believes
the figures are substantially correct.
For purely military and naval pur-
poses It is estimated that all bciliEerents
had spent about S132. 100000 to May
/. or about thrcc-fourths of tho total
CT st of the war. The balance represent
cd interest on the debt and other In
direct war expense.
How the cost mounted as the war
grew in proportion from year to year.
is illustrated by tahulations showing
that the mobilization and the first fve
months Of the WILT in 1914 cost all bel
ligerents about $4,000. 100000. In 1915
the expenses jumped to s26.0oo. 100000:
in 1916 they increased to s3S. .o0o,o 900
