patients is figured by the Army Medi- cal Department al $725, which brings the total cost of those now undergo ing treatment to $145, 100000. There are eighty army hospitals in the United States. The cost of their op- eration ranges from a few hundred thousand to a million dollars a year each.
 'The amount of war risk insurance the government has outstanding is S3TU0O,OOO,0 1000. The claims already filed amount to $5,OO0,OOO. If all the soldiers, numbering approximately 72,50O, who were killed in action or died of wounds, accidents and dis ease, were insured for the full amount of $1G,O0O each permitted under the plan, their claims would aggregate $725, 100000. Payments on these claims will be made at the rate of $50 a month to the dependents of each soldier, which calls for the eX penditure of 3,5OO,OO0 a year for about sixteen years. However, it is not probable that many of these claims or of the thousands of others that will be filed by soldiers disabled in the war, will be acted upon in time to make much of a drain upon the proceeds of the Victory Loan.
 The Federal Board for Vocational Training, which the government has established to care for disabled men after their discharge from the army or navy and train them to earn q livelihood, will cost several millions of dollars a year to maintain. Al ready 12, 900 men have applied for training in the institution, and as they are to be paid at least S65 month each while undergoing train ing, their pay alone will amount to about $1,O00,O00 a year.
 "Other expenses to be met out of the proceeds of the Victory Liberty Loan will be the purchase of wheat at the guaranteed price of s2.26 bushel and extension of credit to the countries associated with us in the war to enable them to purchase war material and other property of the United States in such countries which is no longer essential to this govern ment.- Funds also will be needed for the Upkeep and other expenses of the navy since the signing of the armis- tics and for the operation of the rail- roads. In addition to these military costs, the civil expenses of the gov ernment are running at about $2,0O0,- 100000 a year.

WILL USE LOAN TO GET TROOPS
 BACK TO !. s.

New York, May 2-The money rais ed from the Victory Liberty Loan will be used to pay for bringing the American troops home from France, the cost of their demobilization, part of the war insurance claims of the soldiers and sailors killed or injured in the fighting, and will furnish funds for the care of the wounded and for the vocational training of the naimed and other postwar expenses, says a representative here of the Liberty Loan committee.
 "One of the biggest items will be for the transportation and demobil- ization of the troops, the cost of which from the time the armistice was sign ed until the army is returned to peace basis, will amount to approx1- mately $2,320. 273, ,O00," he adds in a statement. There were about D. 000,000 men overseas when the fight ing ended. According to the army transportation experts, it will cost $20O a man to bring them from the fighting lines in France and Belgium to their homes in the United States This will make the total transporta- ton bill S400.0G0,0O0, of which $12S,- 0O0,OO0 represents the fare of the soldiers in France, SPA, 100000 their fare across the Atlantic, and $14S,- 000,OO0 their transportation from United States ports to their homes.
 Tt will take at least ten months, the army authorities say, to com plete the demobilizati ton of the troops from overseas. Their maintenance in that period, including housing, clothing and food, will amount to aboIIt s1 OOO 900 OOO of which S279- 42S,130 will be for food.
 "The demobiIization. transportation and maintenance expenses of the l. 655, 900 soldiers who did not get to France, will amount to about S920, 273,000, bringing the total for the whole army to the amount already stated, s2,32o.273. 900, which will make quite a hole in the Victory Lib erty Loan receipts.
 There are about 200, GOO sick and wounded soldiers still being cared for in the government hospitals. The per capita cost of caring for these
