WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 25.-One
hundred seventy-nine billion dollars
represent the total cost of the war
to both sides up to January 81, accord
/ ing to official figures.

and the United States spent S119,-
/ 581 600, 900, while the Germanic allies
spent $50, 9,5OO,OOO,O 900.
That the United States did its bit
is shown from the fact that its total
expenuitures-third in the list of the
associates-were $1S.4S1, 100000 be-
sides this government loaned $751;
S75, 100000.

America put overseas more than O.
600 men and at the close stood
next to France in the number of men
in France.

the largest, standing at $37,1O0,000,-
900, with France second with $27,000-
100000 and Japan last with $1,OOO,-
OOO, 900.
How staggering the totals are may
be cleaned from a comparison with
the costs of other wars as follows:
War of 1912, army, $66,613,000;
navy COS 27e mn
Mexican war; army, $SS,499 900;

Shevists. Russia was easy to dogma

The bolsheyist machinery IN Russia

no doubt about it's efficiency, and it

STORY OF ANIMALS IN WAR.
Ernest Harold Baynes to Address
Geographic Society.

Ernest Harold Baynes. this coun-
try's foremost authority on dogs, will
tell the thrilling story of Animals
in War" before the National Geo.
graphic Society at the New Masonic
Temple tomorrow afternoon at 4:45
O'Clock. The lecture will be repeated
in the evening at SIS o'clock.
Red Cross dogs, carrier pigeons and
horses are generally known to have
played an important part in the fight
ing of the allies, but other animals
helped, notably oxen, camels and
donkeys, not to mention the faithful
Missouri mule. Dogs, for example,
were put to use as sentrieS supply
carriers, and they even carried water
and soup to men under fire.
Beautiful lantern slides and motion
pictures of the animals In the Serv-
ice of the allies will be shown by the

Too Much American Panacea.

we have had far too much Of the
particular panacea which America is
supporting at the conference said
Capt. Guinness. since the days of
Mahomet no prophet has been lis
tened To with more superstitious re-
spect than President wilson"
The premier. defending the procee j.
inSs of the peace Conference. said the
government had been devoting its
time to speeding up agreements. He
was sanguine that a complete agree
ment would be reached concerning
the German western boundary. but the
eastern boundary was a different mat
ter. Until the commission sent to ex-
anime the matter reported, the allies
would be in no position to make de-
mands upon Germany. The conference
was unanimous. he said. that Germany
had forfeited all rights TO her col
Onies.
Mr. Lloyd George contended that
with regard to iudemniijes the British
government was in advance of amy

Proposal by Constantinople.

One of the most interesting pro-
posals thus far made is that of Con-
stantinople. The choice of this historic
city would settle the problem of " no
is to control it, for it would make it
absolutely international. CONSTANT
nople was formerly the capital of the
civilized world and is still sort
of meeting place for Asia. Africa and
Europe, but il lies somewhat off the
main lines of travel
Another proposal which has been
made is that the league should have
no permanent location, but should
meet in rotation in various principal
countries.
Some Americans feel that the league
should make it's home in the United
States first, because America has taken
the lead in founding the new interna-
tional order, and, second, because the
United States may. be considered to
be the meeting place of the orient and
the occident.
