WAR COST FIGHTERS
1856 BILLIONS CASH
CAPITALIZED VALUE OF SOL.
DER LIFE $33,551, 276,28O,
SAYS CARNEGIE REPORT.

A comprehensive report on "direct
and indirect costs of the war" has
just been made by the Carnegie En-
dowment for international Peace, and
published in a volume of that title.
After taking each of the countries
separately, those on both sides, and
then summarizing the total direct
and the total indirect costs, the re-
port gives the direct cost as $780,
O00,000,000, and states that the in
direct costs "have amounted to al
most as much more"
The capitalized value of soldier
human life, which is given among the
indirect" costs, is placed at $685.
551, 276,28O. The property losses are
divided as follows: On land, $29, $780,
100000; to shipping and cargo, &c.
100000. Loss Of production is an
indirect cost of the war which has
meant to the nations S45, 100000.
War relief added 100000, The
loss to neutrals through the indirect
cost to them is placed at S1,750,000.-
| 900. The total indirect costs to all
nations, those engaged in the war and
the neutrals, is $751;, 612, 542, $50.
The report, which was gathered
from hundreds of reliable sources by
/ Ernest L. BOgart, professor of eco
Monies in the University of Illinois,
in estimating the Capitalized value
of human life" FIXES the worth of the
individual at figures ranging from
5000 in Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece,
Japan, Rumania, Serbia and several
other countries, up to $4,720 for the
United States, where the economic
worth of the individual to the nation
is placed ct the highest.
In addition to the S33, 551 900, 900
given as the economic worth of those
who lost their lives or were injured in
actual warfare an equal amount is
allowed for civilian losses. Although
many of the latter we're of children
and old persons, instead of men in
the prime of life, the estimate given
| for the civilian loss is believed to be
| conservative.
Granting the propriety of placing
capital value on human life," says
the report, ''the total amount of loss
es, both civil and military, on the
basis of NJ Barroils's computation,
which includes women and children as
we'll as men, may be set down as
$67, O00,000,000
The number of known dead is plac-
! ed at 1,998,771, and those assumed
dead at 2,991,800. To the losses from
death and wounds there is added
"those resulting from disease of pes
thence, privation, hardship, physical
exhaustion and similar causes"

DRY ENFORCEMENT
WILL Be VIGOROUS
SPECIAL GOVERNMENT MACHIN-
cry PUT IN NOTION. KRA-
MER WILL DIRECT.

WASHINGTON, D. Especial
machinery for the enforcement of
war time and constitutional prohibi-
ton will be set up by the bureau of
internal revenue, under direction of
John F. Kramer, Mansfield, O., whose
appointment as national prohibition
commissioner was announced on Mon
day by Internal Revenue Commission
er Roper.
Beside supervising agents in each
of the nine districts into which the
country has been divided, and pro-
hibition director in each state, Mr.
Kramer will have a mobile force,
which will move about the country as
necessity commands.
Expected to Act.
State and municipal officials will
be expected to enforce the prohibi-
ton laws, but where they fail to ex-
ercise due diligence federal agents
will act.
Officials said that should local Off
GERS fail 10 cooperate in breaking up
the illicit sale of liquor the govern
ment would not proceed against them,
but let the electorate take care of the
situation.
While the duty of ascertaining con-
ditions in the several states will rest
primarily upon the shoulders of the
federal prohibition directors, the su-
pervising agents on their own mi
tiative will make Independent investi-
cations in entertainment of violators
of the prohibition laws, cooperating
with the directors and local authori-
| ties
Directors will give particular at
! tentiOn to the manufacture and sale
of denatured alcohol; to the business
of physicians who prescribe, and drug
gists who sell liquor; and of sanato-
RUINS for the treatment of persons
suffering from alcoholism, to the bust
! ness of persons who manufacture,
import or sell wine for sacramental
purposes and to all places where liq-
uor of any kind is possessed or stor-
| ed.
The commissions program leaves
no doubt that where state officials or
city or county officials do not enforce
| the law vigorously the federal govern
ment's representatives will proceed in
their own way to drive out illicit liq-
uor sellers.
Mr.. Roper in his statement asked
for the cooperation of all religious,
social, fraternal, labor and civic or
CARNATIONS in preventing the illegal
sale of intoXicants.

ACTRESS DROPPED EN-
RIGHT ON The STAGE
BUT SHE KEPT HER DIGNITY
AND THE LEADING MAN
HIS WITS.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-"Too Many
Husbands" has many amusing lines
and situations, but the production
supplied an extra surprise during a
recent performance. Even men who
weren't husbands laughed. 1t wasn't
because of something W. Somerset
Vaughan had put into it, but because
of something one of the players
dropped out of it. 1t was dropped, as
the press agents say, "for the first
time on any stage"
The player was Estelle Winwood.
Although she lost something she kept
her dignity. Miss Winwood, reclining
on a lounge toward the end OF the
first act, gave indications by uneasy
movements that the situation was
slipping beyond her control. But
when the time came to stand up she
arose bravely and, one might say,
threw discretion to the winds.
Then it happened.
Although Miss Winwood doesn't do
any knitting in the comedy-she
plays the part of too smart lady for
hiatt easily could be said she
dropped a stitch" Instantly Mr.,
Douglas-one of two men in the
scene-realized every English gentle
man should bear in mind the remark
of a famous British statesman that
when everything else is lost honor
remains.
Mr.. Douglas plays the part of a
fumble-wit. Yet he executed light
ning-like turn of thought, picked up
the new cue without changing coun-
tenance and tossed chem" on chair
as though that were the thing for a
husband to do right after his return
from the war. The audience got all
choked up and purple, but fortunate
ly it was saved from apoplexy by the
speedy fall of the curtain.

Certain OF the "old guard" senators
are busy making pleas against the
acceptance by the United States OF
the peace treaty. They say 1t is a
departure from American traditions,
that territorial boundaries and domes-
tic affairs will be subject to the direc-
tion of a super government Well, il
is about time that lot OF traditions
were dispelled, one OF which might be
the tradition that the senate of the
United States is anything more than
the servant OF the people. Then again,
territorial acquisition has always been
bugbear In the senate and that
should be no objection to tie treaty
there. AS for the direction Of domes-
tic affairs, that Is bugaboo, and il
the senatorial dignity could only be
dissolved then we might hope that
these representatives of the people
could truly represent them. The SEN
ate is not treaty making power, and
the sooner they realize it, the better
for us common folks.

1.-THE DAY" is HERE

This Is a week of fnality for the
late German empire. The people are
confronted, through their government,
with the question Of deciding if they
will accept the peace that is offered
them or get ready for another and we
hope, final beating. win she sign or
not? If she does. then the world viii
help In every way to wipe out the
memory cf the nasty stain her former
rulers placed on the mind Of the
world She may be in possible pawn
for a time, she must repent Of her
crimes and make reparation for her
atrocities. But this will be small to
what she will have TO bear If a refusal
comes to the terms submitted to her.
If she refuses, then her cities will
have to surrender TO the mailed fist
OF the Allied force Today the SUI
premacy OF artillery is with her foes.
Today the supreme test of military
genius rests with the Allied command.
Any resistance will only be a make
shift and ward off perhaps for a few
days an enforced peace which will be
absolutely dictated, and that from Ber-
lin as a captured capital. The day
is here. Der Tag" as they proudly
called 1t when their ambitious conceit
impelled them on to the capture Of
Paris. Today they face ruin and a
ruin complete If they do not avail
themselves of such mercy as the Allied
council is willing to show them. I'm
perialistic Germany and the rule OF
the junker Is gone. Her fate will long
stand as warning to all nations, to
impress them that the world will not
stand for crime committed in the
name of might Power must be ad-
ministered wisely or the justice OF
right will enforce common decency on
any people who fail to live up to the
principles of fairness and truth in gov
ernment, as well as in individual life. |

THE PEACE TREATY LEAK

Sioux City Journal-The charges

the treaty text are in the hands Of
private citizens in New York, the in
timaton being that they are to be
used for speculative purposes, should
be Investigated, though the open chan
nels through which such copies could
be procured are easily discovered
The conference delivered. the full tex;
OF the peace to the German delegates
without any limitation on the use 10
which they should be put Forei sn
correspondents assert that printed
copies of the text may be purchased
at almost any German store for less
than -four bits" There is nothing
to prevent such copies being pur-
chased and mailed 10 the United
States from other countries The op-
portunity offered would be q profitable

The only other source from which
such copies might come is the state
department ii vas iniiiuajeyi IN tine
senate debate that this was the place
where the leakage occurred. The op-
portunity for remuneration might
have tempted a subordinate TO supply
the New York demand for the text.
But il Is unthinkable that any respon-
sible official Of the government would
commit such a repreSensible act. The
fact remains, however. that copies are
in possession Of private individuals
while they are withheld from the mem
bers Of the senate.

nature came back Sunday morning
and In short time onetenth Of an
inch rain fell. Then to cap the climax
late on Sunday afternoon 1.25 of an
inch of water was again poured into
our downtown section, and again the
same places were visited, but in less
amount, by the wet stream. 1t is hard
to estimate the damage done, but it
amounts well into the thousands, and
II was only by heroic work during the
early hours OF Saturday morning that
more was not done. Other places not
named suffered, but the biggest losers
are given and 1t will be several days
or perhaps weeks before these mer-
chants can fairly say how much
money the rain cost them. All the
water that fell between the railroad
and Williams street in the east part
OF the city, found its way down Sec
ond and Third streets and across the
court house yard and down into the
power house and the lower portion of
Main street. The unclean condition
of the bitches. the blocking Of the
ditch across the school grounds where
Sixth avenue formerly passed, the car
rying Of all surface drainage north
across too few aveneus, the fact that
Main street Is dam from the track
to Sixth avenue; all these are charged
with being responsible for the water
not finding its way t,ward the west
and out of the city. Precautions that
should have been built before, are
now being constructed. Il was an
awful food. It was abnormal, ii could
not be foreseen. But yet there are
many who think that the city plans
have not been for the best disposal
of the water that might come from
a hard rain. Seven years ago, four
teen years ago and 1892, all were food
periods which might have led US what
to expect when too much rain visited

A short time ago farmer was hold
ing his barley of the 1913 crop Then
came the advance and 1t reached top
notch price. He was crazy to get it
TO market and realize the benefit He
tried, but the roads were well nigh
impossible. He could not do as he
wished. The price dropped, he lost
and all because the roads were bad.
Whose fault? Partly his own. Every
man is really responsible for the high
way from his own farm to his market.
1t depends on him and what he does
to promote good roads The man who
held his grain should commence his
road work at his own front gate. Then
he might expect that his way to town
and market would be fit for use.
