WIRES BURNED IN
ST.LOUIS STRIKE

st. Louis, Mo-. Feb. 5-Trolley wires
were burned in strike disturbances
here today. Men armed with long
pieces Of gas pipe placed one end of
the pipe against the rails and the
other end against the trolley wires.
This caused short circuit and the
burning of the wires.
Efforts to give semblance of
street car service were made again by
the United Railways company this
morning when six cars were started
down town from the west end barns.
AS on yesterday, most persons walked
to work. Automobiles again were out

No settlement of the strike seemed
in prospect. An incidental result OF
the strike has been a great increase
in automobile accidents. Twenty-eight
were reported to the police Monday.

WARCOSTINC
Am|LLI0NAN
HOUR so FAR
More Than Seven Billions
Spent in 10 Months
100000 a Day.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Ten months Of
the war have cost the United States
about $7,100, 900, 000-at the rate of
$710,00O,000 a month, nearly $24,000,-
90 day. More than half of this huge
sum, or $4,121, 100000 has been paid
as loans to the allies and the balance,
about $4,000, 100000, represents Amer
ica's outlay for its own war purposes,
exclusive of more than $500, 100000
for ordinary governmental expenses.
The wars toll in money is increas-
ing at the rate of more than $780, 00,-
600 month and indications now are
that the two remaining months of the
nations first year as a belligerent will
run its war bill to nearly $4,000, 000.-
600 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.
Below Estimates at That.
These figures, compiled 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.
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 finan-
cial safety. In addition, production Of
ships and war supplies has failed to
develop as rapidly 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 fast
er than is anticipated even now.
Liberty Loans Pay Well
Government borrowings on the two
Liberty loans have paid for four-fifths
of the wars cost and taxation and a
few minor ordinary government re-
ceipts for about one-fifth. The loan
campaigns produced $5,792, 100000 and
81 $50 100000 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 another
bond issue and by taxes which will
begin soon to roll in from the first
war tax act.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The United

country and exactly what this country
can furnish and when and how" I'm

furnish more in men and means than
was expected Of u.s."
Appropriation Larger.
The appropriation as presented by
Chairman Flood carries $S,206,087, for
the next fiscal year. 100000 more
than the current appropriation be-
cause OF increased war burdens. The

Under NelU Plan
Sdnnn1ieS' MQu
Be With British

Washington, Feb. 5. - American
troops may appear in British trenches
on the Flanders front as a result of
studies now being made both here and
in Europe.
If the project suggested is carried
out, American units would be passed
through the British training system
from receiving camps to finishing
courses in front line trenches, draw
ing supplies and equipment from Brit
ish sources until graduate battalions
were withdrawn for Incorporation in
General Pershing's army. The sug-
gestion came from British officials
through General Pershing. 1t is still
Under consideration at the war depart
ment but final action probably rests
on recommendation Of General Bliss,
who is considering it also in confer
ence with the supreme war council.
The plan is development of the
proposal made at the time of the first
meeting of the war council that Ameri-
can troops might be sent to England
for training, releasing British forces
there for front line duty. The object
sought is to hasten the expansion of
the American army in France. By the
use of British shipping training camps
and supplying lines, it has been urged
that General Pershing's force could
be supplemented without a proportion
ate increase in the demand for ship
ping.
Details Of the plan are not avail
able for publication. 1t is known,
however, to have encountered humer-
GUS practical objections here which
also occurred to General Pershing in
forwarding the suggestion. In its or
iginal form the plan contemplated the
training Of $50 infantry battalions OF
1000 men each through British facil-
tiles. There has been nothing avail
able thus far to indicate that this plan
is about to be adopted.

agements today at the railroad
wage hearing, by union leaders,
who said the arrangements desire
to discredit the operation of the
eight hour law and more lately to
make government operation Of the
roads a failure.
W. G. Lee, president Of the railway
trainmen, said he had evidence that
veteran railroad men were replaced
by inexperienced employees at import
ant gateways, that engines had been
allowed to freeze up over night and
that train crews had been called out
and kept waiting until the 16 hour law
overlook them before being sent out
of the terminal.
Four Banks Responsible.
Asked by Chairman Lane of the rail-
road wage commission, who was re-
sponsible for these things, Mr.. Lee
said he believed he could trace it back
to about four banks in New York city
which control railroad financing, if he
wished to seek the real cause.
A. B. Garretson, head of the con-
ductors, also charged that railroad
arrangements were trying to discredit
government operation.
Lees charges were made twice dur
ing the hearing. First he told the
commission that he had evidence to
