COST OF WAR

Exclusive OF real estate, the
Rwealth Of this country is estimated
at about $4,000. 100000. Within
one year 1t will be necessary to spend
$4,000 900. 900, to carry on the
war. This is nine per cent Of the
total wealth, or 22 per cent Of the
personal property. II is 20 times as
great as the total expenditures of
the federal government in any pre-
war year, except during the civil
war. and about IA times the highest
expenditures of that war, and three
fourth the total value. Of all the
railroads in the United States. It
is nearly per cent greater than the
highest amount disbursed by Great
Britain in any year Of the present
war, and means an average contribu-
ton Of $3.50 for every man, woman
and child. or about 1920 for every
family in the land.
1t is probable that there are few,
II any, people in this country who
have any doubt about the ultimate
defeat Of the central powers, but,
there is a widespread idea that It
matters but little II we triumph this
year or some other year. With this
thought in mind remember the fore
going statement Of facts and condi-
lions, then think seriously what 1t
will cost in money. to say nothing Of
the added toll Of precious blood and
suffering to prolng the perid Of hos

GERMANY SEEKING
MEXICAN OIL LAND

Tucson, Ariz.. Jan. 14.-Efforts OF
German interests to obtain a foot
hold in the Tampico oil fields OF
Mexico we're disclosed by the arrest
here yesterday OF Charles Frederick
Won Petersdorff. city engineer of Tue
son. Won Petersdorff is charged with
conspiracy to violate the neutrality
OF the United States. He is at lib
erty on $4,000 bond.
Won Petersdorff admitted that In
January, 1915. he received a letter
from Franz Bopp summoning him to
San Francisco and enclosing check
for $50. Won Petersdorff went to
San Francisco, where he said. Bopp
made him a proposition to go to Can
ada, ostensibly on a mining deal and
advanced 500. The German con-
sui at Seattle, a man named Schulen-
berg, he said, gave him $500 and
sent him to Vancouver. B. G.
Later, according to Won Peters
dorff's testimony, he was sent from
Seattle to New York. There he met
Won Papen and Boy-Ed. He admits
he was supplied with $1,000 by "cer-
tain Germans" and sent to Tampico
in an effort to obtain certain oil
lands. Petersdorff sailed for the
Mexican port, but found the lands
we're in possession OF the rebel forces
and returned to the United States b,
way of New Orleans.

BAGLH DESCRIBES
SINKING DESTROYER

Washington, Jan. 12-The officers
and crew OF the destroyer Jacob
Jones sunk by a German submarine
on the afternoon OF December 9,
knew Of their impending fate but
we're unable to avert II. This was
disclosed today In the report to the
navy department OF Lieutenant
Commander Worth Bagley.
The torpedo was sighted when at
a distance Of half a mile. The Of
ficer of the deck, s. F. Kalk, who
afterwards died Of exposure, took
prompt measures to maneuver the
ship so as to avoid being struck.
The commanding officer realized,
however, that the torpedo was too
near to be escaped and Immediately
efforts we're made to launch life
boats and save the lives OF the crew.
AS the radio antennae and main
mast were carried away and cleo
trio power failed Immediately, It
was not possible to use radio appar-
atus, Bagley reported. The gunnery
oficer, Lieutenant J. X. Richards,
made every effort to get aft to Sc
cure the depth charges, but was un-
able to do so.
Eight minutes after being struck
the destroyer sank stern first. About
Is minutes later the submarine
came to the surface and picked up
two survivors, although at the time
only one was seen to be taken
aboard. The submarine then sub
merged and was not seen again.
Immediately after the sinking, the
commanding officer, who jumped
overheard as the ship sank and was
picked up by the motor dory, had
efforts been made to get all surviv-
ors on the RATS and get the RATS
and boats together. He then began
