War Cost to
u. S. Is More
Than BritQira'S S

Washington, July 31.-America' s
war expenses now are running
about so per cent higher than
those of Great Britain, it was
shown today by comparison of
treasury reports and a newly is
sued British financial statement.
Owing to the shorter time, the
United States has been in the war.
however, the national war debt is
only one-third as large as that OF
Great Britain and the individual
burden of taxation in this coun-
try 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largely superseded Great Britain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
aggregate 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 ST.
500, 100000, including -Oans to al
lies, while Great Britain's expenses
are running in the neighbOrhOod OF
81 900 900, 900 a month. The United
States is spending about 10000, 600
day, or more than S2,000.000 an
hour. The nations war debt IS
now a little less than $12. 800, 600
900, as compared with Great Brit
aims $36,675. 100000
Before the war, both nations col
lected about the same amount Of
taxes every year, approximately
$1,000, 100000. Now Great Britain
collects $3,270,000,000 and the
United States about $4 900, GOO, 900,
but the population in America is
double that of Great Britain. if
this country's taxes were proper
tiOnately as heavy the American
people would be called on to fur
nish annually about $4,000, ,000, 900
by taxation, or the amount which
the treasury proposes should be
raised this year under the new
revenue bill now being framed by
the house ways and means COM
mittee.

CZAR UNABLE TO
STAND ALONE AS
HE WENT TO DOOM

Amsterdam. July 31-Given two
hours in which to prepare for the
end, Nicholas Romanoff. former
Russian emperor. was taken out by
his eXecutioners in a state of such
collapse that it was necessary to
prop him against a post, says the
Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin. which
claims to have received from a hign
Russian parsonage an account of
the emperOr's last hours
Nicholas was awakened at ;
o'clock on the morning of the day
of his execution by a patrol of d
non-cOmmissioned officer and six
men. He was told to dress and
was then taken to a room where
the decision Of the soviet council
was communicated 10 him
The former emperor, it is added,
received the announcement of the
sentence OF death with great calm
ness. After few minutes he ask
cd for a priest with whom he was
allowed to remain unattended Sub
sequentIy he wrote several letters
When the, escort arrived to take
Nicholas to the place of execution
the priest and a soldier were oblig-
ed to help him get to his feet. The
condemned man descended the
stairs with difficulty and once he
fell down.
AS he was unable to stand with
out support when the place of ex-
ecution was reached, he was
propped against a post. He raised
his hands and seemed to be trying
10 speak but the rifles spoke first
and he fell dead.

NEUTRAL HELP IN
SHOPS FOUGHT BY
GERMAN WOMEN

London, July 31.-Women at Es-
sen are determined that no more
neutral workmen shall be employed
at Krupp's during the war, because
for every neutral who comes to
work there a German workman is
sent to the fighting front. The Am
sterdam correspondent of the Daily
Express who makes this statement
says he learned the facts from
Dutch workmen who have just re-
turned from Essen.
When the last batch Of Dutch
men arrived at Essen, stones were
thrown at them by thousands Of
women who denounced them as
neutral job stealers." The women
are resolved to give a similar re-
ception in the future TO all Dutch
men. The police is powerless be-
cause of the great reduction in its
strength.

With the American Army in

KILL, KILL is.
SOLE AIM OF.
ARMY MARCH
Only Object of Both Allies
and Germans Now Is
to Slay Enemy.

Washington, July 31.-The
sole object OF the allies and the
Germans in the SOissOns- Reims
salient now is to kill as many
men as possible. General March,
chief of staff, said today
at his semi-weekly conference
with newspaper correspondents.
Whatever objective either side
had at the beginning, the gen.
eral said. has been submerged
in the fighting.
Washington, July 31.-General
March pointed out that the salient
has been greatly flattened, thus vir-
tually dissipating any hopes of the
allies bagging large numbers of the
enemy. The German withdrawal
since last Saturday, he added, had
reduced the length of the line an
other 10 miles to "a miles. The
maximum German retreat. in the
center, is IA miles.
Rainbow Now in 1t.
Arrival of the Forty-second Rain
bow division and its participation in
the fighting east of Fere-En-Tarde-
nois, was announced. The third
regular division also was identified
as in action at Sergy and Cierges,
where the crack German guard dl-
visions have been defeated in re-
cent fighting by American troops.
General March announced the
formation in the United States of
six more divisions, numbered from
Is to 20 and to be located at Camps
Logan, Texas; Mearney. Cal; Beau
regard, La; Travis, Texas; Dodge,
Iowa, and Sewer, S. C. AS in the
case of the six divisions announced
last week, these will be built around
the regular infantry regiments in
each case.
General March announced also
the conversion of Is national army
cavalry regiments, numbered from
3O1 to 315. into field artillery.
These will comprise part of the ar
tillery units for the new divisions.
viii Give Out Casualties.
General March had nothing to re
veal as to the extent of the casual
ties sustained by the American
forces in the recent fighting. He
said. however, that General Perish
ing had been ordered to cable the
casualties as received and that
these would be given out here at
once. He added that there would
be no distribution of casualties
over a long period hereafter.
All to Wear Z. $.
The chief of staff said that the
war department intends to put the
letters ~. S" heretofore reserved
for the regulars, on the collar of
every man serving in the military
forces of the United States.
The sub-designations of IN. G."
for national guard and IN A" for
national army will be abandoned.
General March added that the 13
major generals and the SO briga-
diers necessary for the new divi-
sions will be selected from all ele-
ments of the service.
