COST OF THE WAR TO U. S.
70 BILLIONS TO JANUARY
Notwithstanding Armistice, the Costs
Are Still Growing; December
Largest Month.

The glorious part taken by the Unit
ed States in the war has cost a great
deal Of money. The U. s.. treasury
gives the figures, up to and including
December 81, at $22, 5s9, 9s6,0o0.
That huge sum, however, includes
about eight billions loaned to our al
lies. Deducting it, the net cost OF u
war to January 1 may be placed at
about four billion dollars. 1t is three
times the cost of the Civil war.
There may be further deductions,
on account of sales Of ships, railroads
in France, cars, locomotives, trucks,
and many other things that are no
longer needed for war.
Although fighting has ceased, the
monthly cost of the war is still rising.
Payments from the treasury in De-
cember were greater than any other
month since the foundation of the gov
eminent. Secretary McAdoo warned
the country that this would be the
case after peace came. It is good
economy to use large sums now, in
order to close up contracts, bring home
our troops, and stop the steady drain
of expenses which otherwise would
continue for years. Such increase of
expense after fighting has ceased is
a ommon experience at the end of the
war. The Civil war ended in April,
1865; yet the expenses of that year
were the heaviest of the whole war.
The government is still in urgent
need of money, and the need is even
greater than it would be if the war
were still going on. Before July l
the treasury is to raise six billion dol
lars by taxes and six billions more
bya fifth Liberty loan. A sixth loan
may be needed.
In peace times the entire expenses
of the government are only n bill
lion dollars a year, or whereabouts.
And nearly a third of that is for the
postal service, which takes care of it.

 "The laundry does all the most toilsome work of washing for me, leaving to me only the finishing of some ofthe smaller pieces. Everything is washed most beautifully.
