Red Gross Meeting to Elect Off,
GERS Postponed to Nov. 26.

So few people met at the court
house Tuesday evening that it was
decided to postpone the meeting of
the local Red Cross chapter for the
election of officers to Tuesday evening
of next week, at 7:3O. The meeting
will be held in the court house and
it is hoped that members of the chap
ter will realize the Importance of at
tending. No doubt many people feel
that now that the war is over there
is no urgent reason for continuing
the local organization. Important
work remains to be done, however, and
the local chapter will be more or less
handicapped until officers are elected
for the ensuing year. The Red Gross
will have work to do for the relief
of American soldiers and sailors un-
til they are discharged and go home
and for many months it will have a

THE COST OF THE WAR.
Estimated That Cost to All Belliger-
ent Nations Will Be 100000, ,OOO,-
600 By End of Year.

LSGi"dlcu lldC SOSC W All DeillScI-
ent Nations Will Be 5000, 600, ,OOO,-
600 By End of Year.
The direct cost of the war for all
belligerent nations to last May l was
reported at about $175, ,O00,O00,OO0 by
the Federal Reserve bulletin, issued
Monday, and it is estimated that the
cost will amount to nearly 5000, ,000,-
100000 before the end Of this year.
These calculations were compiled by
the board from various sources and
while their accuracy is not vouched
for, the board believes the figures
are substantially correct.
For purely military and naval pur-
poses, it is estimated that all bellig-
erents had spent about $132 900 900,
coo to May 1, Or about three-fourths
of the total war cost. The balance
represented interest on debt and other
indirect war expenses.
How the cost mounted as the wal
grew in proportion from year to. year
is illustrated by tabulations showing
that the mobilization in the first five
months of the war in 1914 cost all
belligerents about $4,000, 600, 900. In
1915 the expenses jumped to $26 900, )
000, 900; in 1916 they increased to $3S, )
600, 100000 and in 1917 they were es-
timated at $50, O,OOO, 600, 900. This year
expenses have run only little above
the rate last year.
About, s15O, O,OOO, ,0OO, 900 of the total
war cost has been raised by war loans
of various nations and comparatively
little by taxation. The public debt
of the principal Entente Allies is cal
culated at approximately $1O5 5,OOO,,
900, 900 or more than twice as much
as the aggregate debt Of the Contra
Powers, set at $45,00O, ,000, ,OOO.. This
| does not take into consideration debi
incurred since last May.
The enormous size Of the war costs
and debt is further illustrated by con.
parison with the anti-war debt of the
seven principal belhgerents which die
not exceed $25, 100000. The cost
of supporting this debt was only about
81, 100000 year. Hereafter the
/ annual burden to pay interest ano
sinking fund allowances will be no1
less than $4,000, 900 and probably
much more.

PRESIDENT WILL ATTEND
THE PEACE CONGRESS-
"e VIII 10 to Europe Immediately
After Congress Convenes De-
cember End.

PRESIDENT Wilson will attend the
opening sessions of the peace confer
ence. This was announced Monday
nlgnt officially. He will go immediate
ly after the convening of the regular
session of Congress on December 2nd
Ihls omclat statement was issued
at the White House:
"The President expects to sail for
France Immediately after the opening
OF the regular session of Congress,
for the purpose of taking part in the
discussion and settlement of the main
features Of the treaty of peace. It is
not likely that it will be possible for
nj INTO remain throughout the sessions
Of the formal peace conference, but
his presence at the outset is necessary
in order to obviate the manifest dis
advantages OF discussions by cable in
determining the greater outlines OF
the final treaty about which he must
necessarily be consulted. He will, OF
course, be accompanied by delegates
who will sit as the representative Of
the United States throughout the con
ference"
The general belief is that the peace
conference cannot be- assembled before
late in December and that the Presi.
dent will be absent from the country
at least month, and probably long.
er. Democratic Senators who con
ferred with the President Tuesday
night got the impression that he plans
to remain in France Indefinitely Of
ats least until the major portion OF the
work of the peace conference has beer
completed. It is expected thatsMrs
Wilson will accompany the President
and that besides visiting Paris, where
| the peace congress probably will be
held, he will go to London ann posi-
| bly, to Dr.assels and; Rome. Mr.. Will
son is expected to receive abroad 8
reception such as has been acc0rdeo
few men in public life. He will be
