According to these figures Il will
cost more than five times as much to

ately preceding the world war.
The greatest Individual estimates for
expenditures, of course, go to the army
and navy The yearly interest on the
war debt, however. is $1.017500. 900,
which sum alone is greater than all
the appropriations for all purposes
whatsoever for any peace time con-
gress.

predictions made on the floor of con-
gress. during consideration of the war
tax bills, that the present generation
would not see the government con-
billions year.

The total of all estimates, including
some comparatively minor items not
included in the foregoing is $4.S65, no.

any congress when the country was
not actually at war.
