Nine Billions Spent on the War by

Washington, April 4.-Nine bill

to the United States Of one year OF
war.
: OF this more than one-half has
gone in loans to the Allies and Will
has been spent for the army and
military establishment, one-tenth
for the navy mad fifteenth for
shipbuilding.
Just one-sixth of this big war
cost has been raised by taxation and
other ordinary sources OF revenue,
and the balance has come from the
Gates of Indebtedness.
Enormous as these war eXpendl-
lures may seem to country whose
government in peace times costs be-
tween $70O,000.O00 and $SOO,OO0,-
900, they are less than Great Brit
aims and are only about two-thirds
of the estimates made by officials
of the shipbuilding programme and
the retarding of the outpouring Of
war supplies are regarded by officials
as the chief reasons the expenses
did not equal the estimates.
Government expenses now are
somewhat less than half going to the
Allies, who spend the greater part
of their loans for war supplies in
'Ai Since aoe" the declaration of war,
April 6, 1917, the governments ac-

not entered the war.

various times within the next few
months. This means that the treas

Financial experts of the govern
