COST 0FWAR
HIGHER FOR
AMERlCATHAN
GREAT BRITAIN
This Country However, call
ed on for Much Less Tax
es Than British People

Washington. July 31.-America's
war expenses now are running about
fifty per cent higher than those Of
Great Britain, 1t was shown today by
comparison Of treasury reports and a
newly issued British financial state
ment. Owing to the shorter time the
United States has been in the war,
however, the national debt is only one
third as large as that of Great Britain
and the individual burden Of taxation
in this country now is only about one
half as much as it is in England.
Although the United States has
largely superseded Great Britain as
the financial reservoir on which the
other Allied nations draw, the aggre-
gate of such loans by this country still
is one-fourth less than Great Britain's.
The monthly cost of the war to the
United States now is about 81. 500, ,000,-
900. including loans to Allies. while
Great Britain's expenses are running
month. The United States is spend
ing about $50,000,000 a day, or more
than $2.oo0,0o0 an hour. The ma
tion's war debt is now a little less
than $12.5O0.0O 100000, as compared
with Great Britain's $36,675,0o0.0 900.
Before the war, both nations COL
lected about the same amount Of taxes
every year, approximately $1,000, ,000,-
900. Now Great Britain collects 49,
270, 200, 900 and the United States
about $4,000, 900, 900. but the popula-
tion in American is double that of
Great Britain. II this country's taxes
were 'proportionately as heavy. the
American people would be called a. to
furnish annually about $4,000, 100000
In taxation. or the amount which the
treasury proposes should be raised this
year under the new revenue Bill now

Such is Information That
Reached Washington in
Round About Way.

Washington, July 31.-Reports have
reached the state, department in a
round about way that Ambassador
Francis and all the Allied diplomats
left Vologda July %. 1t is UNDER
stood they were given some sort Of
choice as to their destination, but on
this point the information reaching
Washington is vague.
1t is assumed, however, the only
way left to the diplomatic representa-
tives was by way of Archangel with
the alternative Of going to Moscow.
Information came some time ago that
the representatives had refused the
request Of the Soviet government to
go to the capitol.
Safe arrival Of the American and
Allied diplomats at Kandalaska, Rus
sian Lapland. was reported in Asso-
ciated Press dispatches last night. The
ENJOYS went from Vologada to Arch

not permitted to remain, the repre-
sentatives of the Soviet government

London. July 31.-In pursuance of
the British American convention for

AVIATOR DROPS
FROM MOVING
AIRPLANE WITH
BIG CPARACHUTE
Frenchrnan Drops 800 Yards
and Lands Safely in First
Experiment. ~
fRv rha Associated pre.s,

tBy The Associated Press)
With the American Army in France,
Tuesday, July 3O.-Captain Sarret,
French aviator, has carried out the
first experiment on record Of falling
from a moving airplane with para
chute.
Captain sarret dropped 500 yards
and landed safely. He occupied and
fell from the observers position, but
similar experiments for the pilot will
be undertaken soon.
The aviator crawled out Of his seat
when the plane was above smooth
ground and hung by his hands with
the parachute firmly attached to his
body and lightly attached to the air.
plane. When he jumped. the para
chute opened perfectly and bore him
gently to the ground where he landed
unharmed. This is the first time that
an aviator has jumped from ma
chine with a parachute. Experiments
in the past have been made with sand
bags which were cut loose at varying
heights. r"
Although Captain sarret's trial was
made at a height of 800 meters. It is
declared there Is no obstacle to jump
ing greater distance since the para
chute has an even better chance to
open. Wnen SucceSS1ul, the employ
ment of parachutes will save the lives
of many aviators. Airmen will be able
to leave their flaming. machines and.
will not meet death as did Major Luf
berry on May 10.
Captain Sarret was in the air about
three minutes after he had cut loose
from the 3airplane; he was completely
composed on landing and wrote
brief message describing his sensa-
tions during his descent.
