Put Total War Cost
at $50 Billions

London.-The direct cost of
the war is estimated at $780,
0OO,O0O.O0O in a special article,
in the Daily Telegraph. The
author estimates the indirect:
cost of diminished trade and
financial disturbance at $780,
OOO.OOO.000.
i. "Vast sums" he says. shave
been used for sheer destruction,
and vast public debts have been
incurred for which there Is
no corresponding property.
Throughout two-thfrds Of the
world the work of useful pro-
duction has been suspended dur
ing four years and its place has
been taken for the slaughter of
human lives and humiliation of
accumulated wealth.
"But there is a moral aspect
to be taken into account. We
may at least hope that we have
put an end forever to the dan
ger of Prussian militariSm. If
out of the ruins Of the last four
years there arises q new. bright
er and happier world, then the
billions that have been spent
will not all have been spent in
vain"

HUN FARMS READY FOR WORK
Factory Districts in Germany Still
Complaining About Terms
of Armistice.

COblenZ-The farmers are preparing
for their spring work throughout the
occupied area. Restocking of farms is
progressing rapidly. A canvass within
the area Of the Thirty-second division
shows that the farmers BOW have 754
horses as against 3S3 on November II.
InsistcNre by the allies upon the
prompt compliance with the armiStice
terms has brought continued complaint
from German factory towns.
Essen complains. for example, in the
last few weeks, 24.0O0 cars and $500
locomotives have been sent out Of that
district and that as result traffic
has been greatly reduced. 1t is as
serted that the food and fuel shortage
has been made serious by the inability
to move supplies.
The food shortage in the Coblenz
area is considerable. but perhaps not
so serious as at Cologne, much larger
city, where there has been a greater
influx of discharged soldiers. The
population is returning to work as rap
idly as possible, but the inability to
procure fuel supplies on account OF
the German miners strike has de-
layed the reopening Of many work
shops.

DEsERTER TURNS INTO HERO
Risks His Life to Save Wounded Un-
der Heavy Fire in Verdun
Region.

Washington. - Though under SEN
tence of death for deserting in the
face of the enemy, to escape combatant
service, Richard L. Stierhein, private
in the Seventy-fourth division and a
conscientious objector, deliberately
risked his life to rescue wounded SOL
diers under fire in the fighting in the
Verdun region shortly before the arm
;stice was signed. A review of Private
Stierhein's record; with report by
General Pershing disappearing the
death sentence, and directing that he
be returned to duty for combatant
service, has been made public by the
war department.
According to his testimony at the
court-martial he sought to be classed
as conscientious objector. After
reaching France he deserted with the
intention of making his way to Spain
and there being interned. He was ap-
pretended and sentenced to be shot.
Pending final approval OF the SEN
tence, Stierhein was returned to ms
company as a prisoner and was held in
the rear of his company till it went
into action in the Verdun region. When
the wounded began coming in he vol
unteered as a litter bearer, and the
record shows that until the fighting
stopped he risked his life time and
again to save wounded men and to
carry water to the wounded and dying
on the attletield.
The night of November 3, the report
shows, he carried back to safety un-
assisted three wounded comrades
through shell and machine-gun fire.
