WHAT The GREAT
WORLD WAR COST
Eleven Billion Dollars More
Than the Total Property Val
uation of North America
Nine Million Men Sacrificed
to Hate.

."The cost of the war in money
alone was S197 100000, 900 or SILL
900, 100000 more than the total prop
erty value of all of North America, /"
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
told gathering of the Commercial
Club at San Francisco following his
arrival with General Peyton March,
chief of staff, to inspect army uosts.
"The death from wounds in battle
numbered 100000 and the total
deaths in all armies reached 9,000,-
000," he said.
Referring to the proposed league
of nations Secretary Baker said:
"Unless such an organization was
formed under some name and under
some constitution, anarchy bred by
disease, hunger and despair would
overwhelm the earth.
"No child born in a civilized nation
in the next hundred years viii escape
paying a considerable portion of the
debt this war has brought about"
But for the signing of the armis-
tice, Mr.. Baker told the club men,
bers, Germany's army would have
been surrounded and captured. He
continued:
Germany did not surrender be-
cause of the industrial or political
chaos at home, but because she was
militarily beaten and she was beaten
by an army Of young Americans who,
ia year before, had been behind
counters and following plows, prac-
tically none Of whom ever had heard
a shot fired in anger"

NUMBER Is

stock development of the south, as
oil Of the Pinecrest sales have done.
Several hundred farmers consti-
tuted the bulk of the crowd which
was attracted by the offering. These
men, largely from Mississippi, West
Tennessee and Kentucky, though 9TH
ers had come much longer distances,
gained a liberal education in the
business of raising hogs on scien-
tific basis.
Pinecrest unquestionably is one Of
the finest plants for producing hogs
in the entire country. Situated on
rolling prairie land in the edge where
the hill country and the delta meet.
we'll drained and well shaded, ma
ture created it for hogs. Col. James
has risen to the occasion and his
buildings and siios and hog barns are
of the very best.
So these farmers of the south
learned how things are done in the
home of Scissors, worlds champion
$4,000 boar. Then they went into
the sale pavilion and paid down
enough hard cash in their bidding
against the showmen of Indiana, O.
hio and other northern states to keep
in the south all but six of the ami
mails sold.
Stay in The South.
Of the dozen high-class females
bred to Scissors who were sold, only
one went north, and L. E. Stewart
of Topton, Ind, had to top the sale
with SITS to get her.
By states the 81 sows were sold
as follows: Mississippi, 27; West
Tennessee, s, Kentucky, 8, South
Carolina, 2; Florida, Indiana, q;
Ohio, q Missouri, 1 Minnesota, /.
The sale average of S296.06 is con-
sidered very good, for it must be re-
membered that these animals are go
| ing onto southern farms to form the
nucleus of future herds of pure breds-
| Col. James may feel that in the dis
tribution of his offering today he has
advanced the livestock cause in the
south to an appreciable extent.
Sows bred to Scissors went higher
than the others, partly, of course,
because of the boar's great reputa-
ton, partly because only the very
| best females are mated to him. The
dozen averaged $430.41.

HUNGARY DECLARES

Situation is Serious-Pre1niers
Of Allied States Meet at
Paris to Discuss Hungarian
Declaration-Papers Blame
Delay Of Peace Council for
Hungarian Unrest.

ZURICH, March 24.-Gen. Geor-
gey's Hungarian army, estimated at
10000 is making rapid headway in
its march on Poland, having crossed
the Dniester south of Lemberg, ac.
cording to late dispatches from the
Hungarian border.
COPENHAGEN, March PA
Czecho-Slovak army has been sent
against Hungary, according to an Of
fetal report received in Vienna and
forwarded here.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-Dis-
patches to the State Department from
Belgrade said the Hungarian Bilshe-
vik government had ordered the be-
ginning Of hostilities against the en-
tente last Friday night. No infor-
nation was given as to whether OPP
erations actually had been under
taken.
Advices to the State Department
today from three widely separated
European sources tended to increase
the anxiety of officials over the situ-
alton in Hungary. Bolshevik ele-
ments evidently had assumed COM
pItte COHLTOl Ol ILiG government OF
Budapest with a threat Of renewal
of hostihties.
There was no indication as to the
extent of the control Of the new
regime beyond the capital, and in the
absence of this and other details
officials were reluctant to discuss the
situation at length. 1t appeared
from today's advices, however, that
the crisis resulted from the line of
demarkation established by the
peace conference in circumscribing
the territory of Hungary and the
general economic situation in Buda-
pest.
The recognition of the extreme
claims of the Roumanians and Czecho-
Slovaks and the establishment of
neutral zones between these lines and
the limits allowed to Hungary, which
zones was to be held by the French
until the final peace treaty was COM
pleted, was said To have been more
than the old hungarian government
was able to accept and remian in
power. 1t was suggested that the
fact that these lines were not to be
the final limitations of the new Hum
garian state was not appreciated by
the Hungarians, who apparently pro-
ceeded upon the theory hat they were
to lose even the neutral zones occu-
pied by the French.

According to an official report made by the Federal Dislict Attor- ney SW: T, of New York, US the two billion five hundred million dollars collected for War Relief in the U. s. 65% Of this amount was needlessiy wasted. AS far as the investigat tors were able to determine, four million dollars were stolen pure and sim pie, as the report states, in New York city alone.
 That these accusations have not been made lightly can be soen by the bulk of the report which has been compiled by Assistant District At toIney Kflroe, and contains 3454 closely typewritten pages. Five hundred and fifty four committees and organizations were examined. The invas1g gators received 94I written explanations.
