1t is now possible to bring TO-
eether the final figures so far as
they can be ascertained for all the
belligerent countries and to estl-
mate the total direct cost OF the
war. 1t will, however, probably never
be possible to state precisely how
much the world has spent IN pros
ccuting the Great World War, since
the breakup of states like Austria
Hungary. Russia and even Ger
many, and the limited particlpa-
ton of countries like Brazil and
Portugal and some of the smaller
belligerents, have made it all but
impossible to secure complete fig
ures. Even the expenditures OF the
principal belligerents are far from
exact, as the accounts have not been
closed and expenditures are still! be-
inp made which may properly be
credited to the war account. But
in such a gigantic sum as that pre-
sented by the final aggregat, cost
of this war no great difference VIII
be made il some Of the smaller items
fail of exactness. The conclusions
of this study are presented as an
approximation to the truth, which
i. is believed is probably as exact
as can be made at this time.
The total money costs of the war
for all the then belligerents have
been competently estimated by the
Copenhagen War Study Society at
sts,1S5,OOO.00O for the first year
.nd 3.O65, 100000 for the second
YEAR. For the third year the costs
we're estimated by another authority
At s39,247, 100000. giving a total
for the three years of S9l .O9 .9Oo,-
600. The aggregate gross costs OF
the. first three years were also gwen
bv the Liberty Loan Bureau of the
Jrited States Treasury Department
as ss9.721,5 100000. AS these totals
40 nearly agree. either may be &C
cepted as approximately correct.
According to figures compiled by
the Swiss Bank of Geneva, the
fourth year of the war cost as much
as the other three together. or about
100000, ,0OO, 900, so that by August
/, 1918, the four years of war hac
cost the world S1S0,O00,000, 900
The average daily expenditure or
war for the first four years wa;
S123,000,00O; during the year l9ls
it rose to s244,OOO,OOO. At thi'
rate the war was costing more thar
s10,00O,OOO an hour 1t mus. bt
remembered, however, that th'
worldwide imitation of the currenc!
which was taking place immensel,
increased the money costs OF th'
war with each succeeding year.

GETS BIC WELCOME
Italian Press Loud in Praise
of General Pershing.
A. E. F. Commander Continues
Tour of ItaIy's BattlefieIdS.

Rome, Aug. 2O.-General Pershing
was to continue his tour of Italian
battle areas and provincial districts,
visiting Padua and Trent. He will
spend three hours in Milan tomorrow
morning and visit Turin in the after
noon on his way back to Paris.
Pershing arrived in Venice yester-
day morning, taking lunch there and
in the afternoon visiting Treviso and
Monte Grappa in company with ex-
War Minister Caviglia. He spent the
night at Vicenza.
Speaking at the dinner given by the
minister of war, Pershing declared the
Italians were among the best United
States citizens and the best United
States soldiers. The percentage OF
casualties among soldiers of Italian
origin was higher than those sustained
by any other nationality in the Ameri-
can army Pershing said.
Replying to the speech of welcome
by Mayor Apolloni OF Rome, Pershing
said he fully appreciated the honor
the Italians had accorded him and
would regard it as among the most
remarkable of his life.
The Popolo Romano published a
eulogistic article concerning Pershing
and his work in France. Provincial
papers also praise the American com
nander.
The Malone of Florence says that
Pershing's visit transcends in impor-
lance similar visitsto Italy, He rep
resents the great American army" the
paper said, and in paying homage to
him, we pay homage to the army"
The Neovo Gironale, published in
the same city. declared that as PERISH
ing's visit was due to the efforts of
Foreign Minister Tittoni, II was be-
lieved in political circles that the oc-
casion precluded the happy conclusion
OF 1talian-American negotiations.
AS Italy's foreign policy is based
on perfect accord with the United
''tates." declared the Ratio Del Car
no Of Bologna. "Pershing will be
