GREAT War EXPENSIVE
Cost of Conflict Is Estimated at
100000, 100000.
Federal Reserve Board Bulletin
Bases Its Calculations On
Available Data.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The Federal
Reserve Board Bulletin places the di-
rect cost of the war for all bellig-
erents to last May / at about $175,-
000,000,000 and 1T is estimated that
nearly 100000, 100000 before the end
of this year.
These calculations we're 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 all belligerents
had spent about $4,000, 100000 to
May /, or about threeIourths of the
total war cost. The balance repre-
sented interest on debt and other in
direct war expenses. How the cost
mounted as the war grew in proper
tion from year to year is illustrated
Dy tabulations showing that the mobil
ization and the first five months oi
the war In 1914 cost all belligerents
about $4,000, 100000.

NAVY HAD HARD TASK
British Transport Service Han
died $4,000, 900 Men.
Ships Also Carried Overseas More
Than 10000, 900 Tons of Naval
and Military Stores.

London, Nov. 20.-The British ad-
miralty transport service during the
war conveyed by sea 22,000,00O sol
diers with the loss at sea of only
4,391. More than 120,000,000 tons of
naval and military stores and more
than 100000 animals also were
transported
The British feet and auxiliary craft
grew during the war from total of
2,500,000 tons to total of $500 600
tons, while the personnel increased
from 10000 to 100000.
In 1916 169 ships were sunk by
mines. Only 25 ships were destroyed
from this cause between Jan. l and
Sept 80 of this year. This has been
due to the work of British mine sweep
ers, who have steamed 1920 miles
during the course of their operations.
The salvage department of the navy
has succeeded in salvaging 500 ships
torpedoed by submarines or mined
Most of the vessels again were placed
In commission by the British ship re-
pairing yards.

President Will Go Abroad for
Purpose of Attending the
Peace Conference.
LEAVES IN DECEMBER
Official Announcement Says Chief
Executive Will Sail Immediately
After Converting of the
Next Congress.

Washington, Nov 20. President
Wilson has decided to attend the
opening sessions of the peace confer
ence.
This was announced officially. He
will go Immediately after the conven-
ing of the regular session of Con-
gress on Dec. 2.
This official 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 dis
cussion and settlement of the main
features of the treaty of peace.
Must Leave Early.
"It is not likely that it will be pos
sible for him to remain throughout
the sessions of the formal peace con-
ference, but his presence at the out
set is necessary in order to obviate
the manifest disadvantages of discus
sions by cable in determining the
greater outlines of the financial treaty
about which he must necessarily be
consulted.
He will, of course, be accom-.
panied by delegates, who will sit as
the representatives of the United
States throughout the conference
The names of the delegates will be
presently announced"
How long the President will remain
abroad he probably cannot say now.
Establishes Two Precedents.
In visiting Europe the President
will establish two precedents. He
will be the first chief executive OF
the United States to participate in a
peace conference for the settling of is
sues growing out of a war in which
this country participated and likewise
he will be the first president to leave
North America during his term OF
office.
Since the suggestion that the Presi
dent attend the peace conference first
was made there has been much dis
cussion as to whether, when absent
from this country, he would continue
to act as President. The Constitu
tion itself is silent on the question.
Taft, Roosevelt Retained Functions.
Both President Taft and President
! Roosevelt continued to perform the
| functions of their office while on visit.
to the Canal Zone, sending instruc
tions to Washington both by cable
and wireless.
1t was pointed out that the Presi
dent in this manner could attend t,
any pressing matters Of importance
here while he is abroad.
The President probably will eros
the Atlantic on an American BATH
ship, probably on one of the navy
newest dreadnaughts.
While on such ship, it is claimed
he is on American territory and tech
nically would be absent from tn
country only such time as he is ae
tually on foreign soil

LABOR RECRUITING CEASES

Transports Carrying Porto Ricans Are
Turned Back.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Recruiting of
Porto Rican labor for service in the
United States has been stopped by
orders of the employment service.
1t was announced that two trans
ports carrying $500 men had been
turned back on their way to south
ern ports.
Approximately 10000 Porto Ricans,
1t is estimated, have been brought
into the country for War department
construction work in the South.

London Sees Hun Plans to
Snatch Victory by Revolts in
Neutral Lands.
KAISER WOULD RETURN
Rumored, intention Of Former EN-
peror to Go Back to Germany,
Creates Uncertain Situation
Foe Propagandists Active.

London, Nov. 20.--The Express
says:
There is evidence of a plot to
trick the Allies, create new Ger
man federation stronger than the
former empire, foment revolu-
tions in Holland and Switzerland,
which would be added to the fed
Grafton, and then foment revolu-
tons In Allied countries and pos
sibly In Sweden. Eventually the
kaiser would return"
London, Nov. 20.-The rumors that
William Hohenzollern may return to
Germany, as reported by the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger's hint that he would
not be refused an entry to that coun-
try, have caused a stir here. They
are featured by several newspapers
as creating an uncertain situation
which is rendered more doubtful by
accounts of the activity of German
propagandists in several countries.
Peril of Reaction Seen.
The fear mainly is that the former
emperor would sooner or later become
the center of reactionary movement
in Germany when the present revolu-
tionary storm has blown over, and the
advocates of this view consequently
fear the return to his former empire.
On the other hand, the fact of the
former ruler placing himself or being
placed in the hands of the new rulers
of Germany, would be welcomed in
other quarters. These rulers, the
Morning Post argues, should be able to
execute judgment upon him and in so
doing would only be acting as fitting
instruments of justice.
Unwelcome in Holland.
There is everywhere, however,
agreement in the idea that the former
emperor's presence in Holland Is in
tolerable and 1t is insisted that he
must somehow be made impotent to
do further mischief The reports from
Holland show that the unlimited guest
is becoming daily more unwelcome
there. Belated advices' from The
Hague show that the Dutch socialists
reiterated in parliament their objec.
tions to his presence and demanded
that he be deported
Plot to Trick Allies.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
The Hague reports that the German
soldiers council in Antwerp adopted
resolution that the soldiers and
workmen's council In Berlin demand
extradition of the former emperor and
