Then came the war. In the first

in July to s20S,000,000: in August TO
S227,000,0O0; in September to $780,

Washington, Feb. 5.--Ten months ot
the war have cost the United States
about $1,000, ,0O0, 900 at the rate OF
$71o,0oo,ooo a month, nearly $24,oco, ,0oc
a day.
More than half Of this huge sum. or
"a, f21 ,000,0 900. has been paid as loans
to the allies, and the balance, about
$3,00O, ,000, 900, represents Americas out
lay for It's own war purposes, exclusive
of more than $500, ,0oo,o0 for ordinary
governmental expenses.
The wars toll in money is increas-
ing at the rate of more than 100000
900 month, and indications now are
that the two remaining months of the
nations first year as a belligerent will
run it's war bill TO nearly $4,000. 900, =
900. of which $4,000, 100000 will be for
allied loans and about the same
amount for the army, navy, shipping
board, and other war agencies.
Fallen Below Estimates.
These figures computed today from
the latest available treasury figures
show that although the country's ex-
penditures are running into totals
never before dreamed of. they are be-
low official estimates made early in
the war. Since war was declared,
April 6, and the fiscal year for which
estimates were made did not begin un-
til July /, 1t Is difficult to compare
precisely the actual war cost with the
fiscal year estimates. Most of the war
ha hnan ipp,try-a-1 oil
July 1, however, and the total outlay
since then has been $4,000, 100000 in a
little more than seven months, as COM
pared with estimates of s1S,43l, 900, 600
for the entire year.
Two factors are held mainly respon-
sible for this difference -- officials of
the war. navy and other departments
figured literally on their expenditures
originally to allow a margin of flnan-
cial safety. In addition, production of
ships and war supplies has failed to
develop as had been planned. officials
point out also that as big contracts for
ships and army materials fall due in
the next few months, the expenses
may run up faster than Is anticipated
even now.
People Paying Costs.
Government borrowings on the two
liberty loans have paid for four flfths
OF the wars cost, and taxation and a
few minor ordinary government re-
ceipts for about one fifth. The loan
campaigns prodiaced $5.792,o0o,oQ0 and
81, ,250,0e0 900 came direct from the
pockets of the people, and will not
have to be repaid. Financial demands
OF the war In the next few months
will be met in the same way-by an
other bond issue, and by taxes which
will begin soon to roll in from the
first war tax act.
How America gradually got into her
stride in the war Is shown graphically
by the monthly outpourings of funds
