1t is hoped that the Saturday closing of

the people away from the downtown shop

lessening of crowds will mark great step
in stamping out the influenza.

Spending 5 Millions Daily

Rome.-The war is costing Italy
$149,000,0W a month or, in round
numbers. about $5,OOO,0O0 a day. In
estimating the cost of the wal the ex-
penditure Incurred during the ten
months Of ltaly's neutrality for war
preparations as well ms the money
spent during the 33 months of war up
to the end Of last February are taken
into account. The estimate is only ap.
p%roxllnate. because besides the money
actually spent for war expenditure
payments made by the war Office and
the admiralty for extraordinary ex-
penditure due to the war are included
In the calculation.
On the other hand the increased ex-
penditure and the payments made by
other government departments during
the period from August l, 1914. to Feb.
ruary %, 1918. are not taken into &C.
count. Only the expenditure Of the
three ministries of war, of the navy
and Of munitions is added together in
order to afford an indication Of how
much the war Is costing Italy.
Cost Of Warfare Grows.
The total extending over a period of
two years and nine months when di.
vided into shorter periods reveals that
war expenditure Is increasing. thus,
while during the first quarter Of 1taly's
Intervention. from June to August,
1915, 07,40O,0O0 were spent every
month. during the last quarter, from
December. 1917. to February, 1918. the
average monthly expenditure increased
to $3.50. 100000. and It Is therefore cnl.
culated that at present the war IL
