US. PAYS $500
TO Bring each
SOLDIER HOME
Money to Meet Expenses VIII
Be Raised Partly by
Victory Loan

Army authoriti, have estimated
that fare alone in bringing a soldier
from France to his home in the United
States will be 5000. To bring the
American Expeditionary Forces home
will cost the government close to
$4,000 GOO, 900.
Estimates included $64 to get the
soldier from the battlefield or camp in
France TO a seaport, S62 to transport
him across the Atlantic and $74 to
send the soldier from the port of de.
barkation in the United States to his
civilian home.
II 1t were merely a question Of NOV.
ing a large number Of men as individ.
uals the great number would permit
combinations of resources that would
result in reduced rates for each man.
The authorities point out that the A.
q. F. is an array and must be brought
homo as an army. II must bring its
baggage and equipment with it.
Some Details
Tho whole American transportation
system in France cost $500, 600, 900.
The railroads alone cost $500, OO0, 900.
Part Of the huge cost of this system
must be charged to the cost Of return
ing the men. That is why the War
Department made the apparently high
pro rata rate of s64 a mar to bring a
man TO a seaport in France.
Even with special government rates,
1t costs Uncle Sam an average equiv
alent Of at least $40 a mar transported
to charter ships. This ccst must be
added to the cost of operating all the
ships in use. To run the ships. keep
them in repair, maintain their crews,
costs an equivalent of S22 a mar
transported. That is why the govern
ment is paying $62 = man for every
soldier brought back overseas. Navy
men say It cost $75 for every man sent
over on a British transport, so $62 for
the return fare is a low estimate.
Decentralization Costs
To handle the troops on landing
the great embarkation plant at Hobo
ken and the distributing camps. Up
ton, Mills and Dix. are being used
These enormous building develop
ments as well as the oth>r canton
ments, hospitals, etc. cost 1885, 900.
900. Now that they ere again being
put TO use to handle the return and
rehabilitation Of the soldiers. a part
of their cost is very properly charged
to the cost Of returning the troops to
their homes.
The Victory Loan is being raised by
the government to meet -Oms OF these
expenses.
