WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
expenditures That in the Aggregate
Amount to Sum Sufficient to
"Stagger Humanity"

Recently the congress of the United
states passed. almost without debate
the greatest budget in the history OF
the world, making available for Uncle
Sam $1,000, 100000 in order to carry on
the war on a scale commensurate with
its greatness. 1t is interesting, there
fore, to compare with this the cost of
other wars. The NapOleOnic wars.
which ragged over Europe from 1893 to
1915, cost approximately $7,O00,O0O, 900.
or the same amount that congress pro-
vided for the United States to enter
into the conflict, and that was only
beginning.
The Mexican war cost the United
States about $1OOOOO,OOO. a compara-
lively trifling sum. The Civil war,
however, was q very expensive affair,
entailing the expenditure of $S,O00,-
00O,OOO from 1861 to 1865. The Franco
Prussian war cost the two nations en-
gagged about SO, 3,5OO,OOO,OOO. The second
South African war, from 1900 TO 1907,
cost 81 5OO,OO0,000, the conflict between
Russia and Japan consumed almost
S4.OOO,OOO 900, while the United States
got off very cheaply in the Spanish
American war with an expenditure o1
S175, 100000. The estimates on the out
lay for the present war up to OCTOBER
l of this year were $9SS14,S75'OOO.-

Warship Repairs.

Over and above the great activity
of the British yards in building new
warships, particularly destrOyers, and
the construction of merchant ships, an
enormous amount of time and labor
has to be devoted to repairs. In re-
cent speech Sir Eric Geddes said:
"During one month the number OF war
vessels which needed repairs was
nearly 1, 1,OOO-that is, in addition to the
LOO merchant ships-and that was by
no means an abnormal month Since
the beginning of the war $1,000 war
vessels. including patrol craft and
mine sweepers, have been docked or
placed on the ways. and these figures
do not include repair work done to the
vessels Of our allies"
Add to this the armlng of the vast
fleet of British merchant vessels, and
we have some conception of the enor-
nous task of shipbuilding, equipping
and repairing carried on by the British
admiralty.

early hour there was a large at
tendance. The Millersburg branch
is one of the most active in the
county and has sent large numbers
OF garments and other supplies to

Next the party stopped at Elizabeth
vile, where the Representatives of
the local branch were augm tented
by representatives of the Berrysburg

ing followed at Loyalton, which has
an active membership in the Red
Cross, and then the party went to

in the Red Cross rooms. A large
group of workers attended. Wicon-
isco was the next stop, where the
speakers again reported on what the
civilian relief is doing for returned
soldiers and for the mothers, wives
or other dependents of those who
are in the service.
Miss Blauton, Miss Leib and Mr..
Lentz spoke at all three meetings.
The meeting at Williamstown was
held in the Academy of Music. The
speakers defined the work and made
lasting impression on the hundred
or more mothers and wives of SOL
diers present, many of whom car
ried service flags. An inspiring
| feature occurred when Mr.. Lentz
asked all mothers and wives to rise
and hold aloft their flags while the
audience sang America. Mrs. Will
liam DurDin, chairman of the relief
committee, who has rendered val
liable service, was among those
present.
