that the coal can be bought at
considerable advance over the
set figures. Coal prices continue

Regarding the cost of the war TIA
BILE Is presented showing that the al
lies have spent ST., 200, 100000. or 64.1
per cent Of the total cost Of all warning
nations. while Germany and her allies
have spent $lO8,5OO, OOO, 900, or $50 per
cent
In killed, wounded and missing the
conflict has cost the allies S,992,958
men, or 5S.7 per cent Of the total hui
man losses, while 1t has cost the CEN
trail powers 6,3O1, 773, or Alb per cent
of the total Of 15,294.729 for last Sep
TENDER.
In the introduction to the balance
sheet 1t Is pointed out that, while the
exact figures are not available, 1t Is
well-known fact that the surplus
food producing sections Of the world
are practically controlled by the en-
tente allies, either directly or through
their control of the seas. The same is
true, to a great extent, of territories
producing metals and coal.
Japan has not yet been an active
factor in the European theater Of the
war;" comments the pamphlet. ut
has, however, effectually guarded the
Pacific ocean. It has enrolled in its
army about 100000 men. out of an
effective man power of 10500,O00. The
entire army and navy, as well as the
unenrolled man power, may be said to
be still in reserve.
"While Russia has nOminally about
100000 men enrolled in its army and
navy, it still has an enormous reserve,
as the total number of men available
for military purposes aggregates
around 3O,000000.
Russian Situation Grave.
1.-THE extreme gravity of the present
situation in Russia is, therefore, Ep-
parent, especially when it is borne in
mind that, if Germany can gain con-
troll of Russia or force a separate
peace with Russia, even if Russia re-
manned thereafter simply neutral, it
would be possible for Germany To draw
therefrOm an enormous quantity of
foOdStuffs and the raw material for
munitions of war. On the other hand,
if Russia can be kept in line with the
entente allies it would seem that the
TeutOnic allies must be compelled to
capituIate, ut a reasonably early date,
from sheer exhaustion.
"While considering the danger
points we must not overlook the fact
of the virulence Of the TeutOnic sub
marine campaign. 1t is impossible,
however, to present figures in this con-
nection which have statistical value.
''The fact should not be lost sight Of
that Germany now controls Belgium,
northern France, Serbia, ROumania,
Montenegro, and q large portion of
Poland, having combined population
of about 32,300,00O. It is true that
men Of all these nations are serving
in the armies Of the entente allies,
and that Belgium is maintaining an in
dependent army of moderate size. The |
control Of these countries, especially
Belgium and northern France, has

the earth's surface. or 94.1 per cent of
the total area held by the nations at
war, as compared with 1929 900 square
miles, or only 50 per cent held by
the TeutOnic combination. The ag-
gregate population of the allies, exclu-
sive of the large Asiatic population
tributary to the British empire, reaches
the huge total of 473, 250,000 or 1913
per cent of the total Of warning peO-
piles. while that Of the central powers
IS but 147,000,000, or 23.7 per cent
Without counting Asiatics and Afri-
cans the allies have available for mill
fary service 81 100000 men, or 7S5 per
cent of the total possible fighting men,
while the TeutOnic powers can com
mand but 25,050000, or 215 per cent.
The number of men actually enrolled
in the armies and navies of the allies

The combined national wealth of
the allies is estimated ut 1888, 200, OOO.-
600, or S0.5 per cent of the total of
the nations engaged in the present
conflict, while the wealth of Germany
and her allies is placed at S134.O0O,-

with this is the national debt of the
allies, $S3,960,000,000, or 14.7 per cent
of their aggregate wealth, and the
combined debt of the Germans and
their allies, $38,500OOOOOO, which Is
2S.7 per cent of their aggregate
wealth. The figures for the various
countries are found in the following
