S2,OOO,OOO Is Cost
of War Each Hour
For United States

Washington, July 31.-Amertca' s
war expenses now are running about
fifty per cent. higher than those of
Great Britain, it was shown to-day
by comparison of Treasury reports
and newly issued British financial
statement. Owing to the shorter time
the United States has been in the
war, however, her national war debt
is only one-third as large as that of
Great Britain. and the individual
burden of taxation in this country
now is only about one-half as much
as 1t is in England.
Although the United States has
largely superseded Great Britain as
the financial reservoir on which the
other allied nations draw. the aggre-
gate of such loans by this country
still is one-fourth less than Great
Britain's.
The monthly cost OF the war to the
United States is about $500. 900. 600
including loans to allies. while. Great
Britain's expenses are running in the
neighborhood of $1,000. 900. 900 a
month. The United States is spend
ing about $50. .00O. 900 a day. or more
than s2.000,O00 an hour. The ma
tion's war debt now is a little less
than $12,500. 100000, as compared
with Great Britain's $50. .675. 900, 900.

City Seeks Reduction
For LightIess Bulbs;
Should Save Sl,l4O

City Electrician Clark Z. Dtehl
has requested the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company to make de-
duction in its charge to the city
for its electric light service as a
result of the move to discontinue
two lights on each OF eighty-one
cluster standards IN the city.
According TO Mr.. Diehl a charge
is made oy the light company Of
sl7 tor each light on rs OF the
5-ligh. standards; and Sl6 L light on
each OF ten 7-lisht standards. AS
two lights on each of IS standards
viii oe discontinued beginning to-
night and two lights on each of 5
large standards on the Mulberry
street bridge, Mr.. Diehl estimates
that the remaining five months of
the year the city should be credited
with reduction of 1.140. At pres
ent all city lighting is paid for out
of appropriations by city ordinance.
The annual charge for each slight
standard is SIS and for each flight
standard SIP.
c. VI. Kaltwasser. general manager
of the light company, was not in
the city to-day. AS soon as he re-
turns Mr. Diehl said he will discuss
the question with him. A letter has
been sent also to the light company
calling their attention to the discon-
tinuance of the lights as fuel saw
ing measure.
