Uncle Sans War Expenses

Heavy as the expense of this war has been
upon the American people, it is gratifying to
learn from a statement issued by the treasury
that it still is below the estimates that were
made some months ago. For October the ex-
penses of the government were 81, o64, 1862 900,
of which S4S9, 100000 was in loans to our allies.
Thus the October expenses were about $780,
100000 less than had been anticipated, and there
was at the close of the month $l,S45,7l9,O00 in
the general fund, which is new high record.
1t was estimated that the war expenses for
the current fiscal year would be $24,0OO000.000,
and the governments financing was based upon
that estimate. But at the present rate it will
fall considerably below that figure. 1t is calcu-
lated that the cost of the war to the United
States from the beginning to the present time
has amounted to $20,56l 100000
The people of the United States have exhib-
tied no nervousness over the cost OF this war
in money. They have demonstrated at all
times their willingness to pay the bill, however
high it may be, asking only that the war be won
and that it be decided so definitely that it would
for all time place quietus upon the designs of
ambitious rulers. Heavy taxes have been paid
without murmur and colossal loans have been
foated with comparable ease. The people stood
ready to make any sacrifice that might be neces-
sary in order that the cause might triumph

Neutral Claims for Lost Ships

The neutral nations are beginning to prepare
for the peace conference their claims against
Germany for ships which U-boats have de-
stroyed. Reports from Christiana say that the
Norwegian government is making list of S67
vessels sunk and will ask the conference to con-
slider its demand that Germany shall replace the
tonnage or pay for it, with compensation also
for cargoes and the lives of murdered sailors
Neutral claims of this kind will exceed $780,
100000 for the number of the lost ships if those
of South American countries be included is
nearly l,500 with capacity of more than 2000,-
0c0 tons. Valuable cargoes went down with a
majority of the vessels, and about $500 men,
many of whom were killed on lifeboats or RATS
In few cases Germany's defense will be that
the ships were at work for its enemies, but as
rule this excuse cannot be used. Vessels in the
service of the Belgian Relief commission and
others carrying grain for Switzerland, it will be
recalled, were among those torpedoed.
By cedng seven informed ships to Spain to
replace as many OF the 81 Spanish vessels sunk
Germany has admitted its liability. What the
peace conference will do cannot be foreseen.
The mercantile marine losses of Germany's foes
exceed those of the neutrals, and there are not
enough German ships to replace this tonnage.
But many of these ships ares now interned in
neutral harbors. Spain has go of them. Be-
cause so many German merchantmen are thus
under the control of neutral governments there
may be an aEportionment Of the surrendered
tonnage Germany should be required to pay
for ships which it cannot replace. The debt
like that which it owes to Belgium, is one from
which there u 10 escaQe.-New York Times

Britain and the Sea.

Omaha, Nov. Ito the Editor
Of The Bee: British sea power is
the basis Of the empires existence;
the spaces of ocean that divides it
are sufficient proof Of it's dependence
upon command Of the seas; it is
bound together by sea communica-
tons. British commerce, the life
blood Of its people, covers the waters
Of the globe with shipping not re-
motely approached by that of any
other power. Great Britain imports
the greatest part of its food supplies,
and now raw material for its indus
tries. Command of the sea is as
vital for the future welfare of the
British empire as it has been in the
past. 1t would be a sad day for the
British lion if he lost his teeth and
claws; the real attitude of some Of
his friends toward him would sur
prise him.

William Collier, whose efforts as

amusement lovers in America and
Europe, reaches the half century
mark today, having been born in
New York City, November II, 1869.
Mr.. Collier comes of a theatrical
family, both his father and mother
having been we'll known to the
stage. Following paternal prece-
dent, the son ran away from home
when 10 years old to join juvenile
Pinafore company, with which or
ganization he travelled for season.
Returning home, he attended school
for two years, and then became call
boy at Days theater. In this posi-
ton he also served as understudy
for juvenile roles, and by the me
he was II he was full-hedged &C
tor. During the next decade he ap-
peared with success in numerous
farce comedies. His first venture as
star was in THE Man From Mex

Plethora of Railway Passes.

Kansas City, Nov. 9.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee: / want to call your
attention to a very strange case. The
United States government has stated
in the newspapers that it Is doing
all in it's power to reduce tho oper-
ating expenses of the railroads. and
when the passenger rate was raised
from 2h to 8 cents per mile the gov
eminent stated it did this to reduce
the large amount of unnecessary
railroad travel, and at the same time
there are thousands of people trav-
cling all over this country on free
passes, just for fun and to kill time.
am we'll acquainted with several
railroad men, and all of the female
relatives Of these men and their
wives are travelling on free passes
obtained for them by those railroad
men. These free pass deadbeats
are taking up large amount OF
space in our passenger cars. and
they are only travelling to kill time
and to use up the free passes which
they obtain so easily.
Now you know that this state of
affairs Is all wrong and should be
stopped. as it looks very bad to the
many thousands of workingmen vOt-
ers who cannot understand why they
are forced to pay full fare when
they travel, while other more. fortu-
nate people are allowed to travel
on free passes just for fun and to
kill time.
The United States government
should issue an order absolutely for
bidding any person to ride on a free
pass excepting actual employees Of
the railroads whose names are ac-
tually on the pay rolls of the rail-
roads. This would be a most popu-
lar order with the great mass Of
workingmen "oters who now feel
that they are being Disseminated
against in favor of more fortunate
people. Turn on the light of pub.
licity onto this very strange case.
