to set the war loss at more than 100000
men. This is about one man in twenty for
each year of the whole number modified.
In addition to the dead, the permanently
disabled total about 5,25O,OOO men. Thus
the net loss in men amounts to about 49,
100000. There have probably been about
100000 men less seriously wounded in
such way that they have either been re-
turned to the front or able to pursue some
useful occupation in civil life
Some realization Of the meaning of these
totals may be CLEANED from the reflection
that the dead and the totally disabled equal
more than half the able-bodied men in the
United States
The money cost is vastly more confus-
ing problem The total is beyond all COM
parison with any national debts, loans or
expenditures Of the past. At the beginning
Of the war the cost was $3O,OOO,OOO day.
1t was predicted Europe could not stand it
for six months. Now, well along in the
fourth year, the cost is nearly $175,O0O,OOO
day and there are no signs of financial
breakdown.
This is because nation can mortgage it's
future like a man who enters shop with
empty pockets and pays for goods with
signed notes pledging the labor Of his
children. The world s debt since the war
Has Increased ny P9O,OOU,OUO,UOU. Inc total
cost has exceeded this figure by at least
$15,0OO,O0OO the difference representing
the amount levied in taxes in excess Of the
interest requirements.
1t is easy to see that if all the interest is
paid to people living in the United States,
and the principal at the end of the term
also paid to residents in the United States,
the United States as nation is no weaker
financially for having borrowed $2OOOO,OO0-
600 than if it had never borrowed cent
Such enormous loans will probably effect a
redistribution of wealth, for the interest
charges will be met by taxation, and provis-
ion made for a sinking fund in the same
way. By redistributing this taxation wisely
and equitably, the end Of the period that
the Liberty bonds have to run may well see
a more efficient balance of wealth than the
present.
AS in reckoning war strength, the basic
realities Of the problem are economic rather
than financial. Such part of the great war
loans as is invested in convertible factories,
in increase of food production and similar
real assets, cannot be regarded as lost On
the other hand, the dollars that are spent
for shells which explode and ships that sink
are lost in fact-Comment

A WAR PRAYER

By James Waterman Wise Of the Vigilantes
Father, we beseech thee
Guard our boys tonight
Keep, we pray, their footsteps
On the paths Of right
We have sent them gladly,
For the fight is just,
Yea, their cause is holy,
Glorious their trust
Hold their fates, O Father,
In thy Wondrous hand,
Bring them back, if may be,
Back to grace our land
For we loved them dearly
But our path was clear;
Honor babe us send them
Father, be thou near
But if they must leave us,
If it be thy will,
Father, we implore thee
Guide and guard them still
