WAR COST S175,OOo,oo0.o0O
Before End of 1918 Experts Believe
Cost Will Run $500, ooo, oo0, 900.

Washington-Direct cost of the war
for all belligerent nations to last May
/. was reported at about $171 900 ,000, :
600. by the federal reserve board bull
letin, issued, and it is estimated that
the cost will amount to nearly $780,
100000, 900, before the end of this
year.
These calculations, the board be-
lieves, are substantially correct.
For purely military and naval pur-
poses it is estimated that all bellig-
erents had spent about $4,000, 000,-
900 to May 1, or about three-fourths
of the total war cost. The balance
represented interest on debt, and 9TH
er indirect expenses.
The public debt of the principal
Entente allies is calculated to approx
mate s1O5, 900 ,0O0,O 900 or more than
twice as much as the aggregate debt
of the Central powers, set at $4,000
100000.

Paris.-During an impromptu trip
through the Place de la Concorde Gen.
John j. Pershing received plaudits that
perhaps never before have been
eQualed In the history of the city. 1t
was also perhaps one of the most dan
gerOus half hours he ever experienced,
as fully fifty thousand wildly cheering
Parisians circled about his car and
fully half million comprised the
great mob that crammed the Place
de la Concorde and was still flowing
in from all the boulevards.
The general was out for a short
drive and had come up the Rue RivOll.
His car was proceeding at snail's
pace before 1t was recognized by the
frenZied street crowds.
AS General Pershing's face, with the
famous smile, showed through the
door, French girl with the flags of
half a dozen nations twined about her
head screamed, General Pershing!"
The cry was taken up instantly and
passed over the seething multitudes. If
there were any gendarmes about they
were swallowed up In the enormous
mob. In an instant men and women
went mad and screamed his name, and
all tried to reach the car.
Men picked up women and held them
on their shoulders that they might get
look at the general. The mob surged
toward the car in another wave.
Shakes Hands of Children.
General Pershing amidst the danger
was enjoying it greatly. Instead of clos
ing the window and urging the driver
to get out before they were crushed to
death, he let the window down full
length, laughed heartily, and thrust his
hand out of the door to shake the hand
of little French child whose proud
father lifted her above the heads OF
the mob.

"Pershing Pershingl" beloved the

Along the boulevards the name of Per.

probably did not know that Pershing
was In their midst, and at one moment
II seemed that all Paris was shouting.
BY this time the inside Of Pershing's
