The first comprehensive report OF
the "direct and indirect costs Of the
war" has just been made by the Car
negie Endowment for mternationa
Peace.
After taking each of the countries
separately, those on both sides, ant
then summarizing the total direct anG
the total indirect costs, the report
gives the direct cost as $3.50, 600, 600 900
and states that the indirect costs shave
amounted to almost as much more"
The capitalized value Of soldier hui
man life, which is given among the
indirect" costs, is placed at $685.
276,2S0.
Property Losses.
The property losses are divided as
follows: On land, $29,960,O00,0O0; to
shipping and cargo, 6,S00O00,0O0.
Loss of production is an indirect cost
of the war which has meant to the ma
tons $45,OOOOO0,OOO. War relief added
$1,OO0OOO,OOO.
The loss to neutrals through the in
direct cost to them is placed at 81, $780,
100000. The total indirect costs to all
nations those engaged in the war and
the neutrals, is $151, 612, 542, $50.
The report, which was gathered from
hundreds of reliable sources by Ernest
L. Bogart, professor of economics in
the University of Illinois, in estimating
the capitalized value of human life"
fixes the worth Of the individual at
figures ranging from 5000 in Bull
garia, Turkey, Greece, Japan, Rou-
mania, Serbia, and several other coun-
tries, up to $4,720 for the United States,
where the economic worth of the in
dividual to the nation is placed at the
highest.
In addition to the $33551 100000
given as the economic worth of those
who lost their lives or were injured in
actual warfare, an equal amount is
allowed for civilian losses. Although
many of the latter were Of children
and old persons, instead of men in the
prime of life, the estimate given for
the civilian loss is believed to be con-
sentative.
CapitaIizing Human Life.
"Granting the propriety of placing a
capital value on human life" says the
report, "the total amount of losses,
both civil and military, on the basis of
M. Barriol's computation, which in
cludes women and children as well as
men, may then be set down as S67,000,-
100000"
The number of known dead is placed
at 9,99S.771, and the presumed dead
at 2,991,S0 To the losses from death
and wounds there are added "those re-
sulting from disease, pestilence, priva-
ton, hardship, physical exhaustion,
and similar causes"

 Evelyn showed noted talent in art and until few months before her death intended to make this her life work.
 In March nineteen hundred and eighteen feeling that her country needed her she left the s. H. S. and enrolled in one of our cities leading hospitals. Here under the strain of D sr course her hc&l;h broke down. However in the fall of this year, after recuperating she entered the Flower hospital where she was in training when death overlook her.
 Evelyn's sunny disposition will be remembered by all,--a smile for ev- eryone> was part of her life. Her classmates and friends will always remember that smile for everyone.
 As has been said, she laid down her life while preparing to serve her % nt1y in the noblest way possible

EMBOSSED MARKERS
May Be Issued by State for Car.
 in 1920

Connecticut will in all probability blossom out with embossed automo- bile markers in 1920 if the plans of the automobile commissioners now under consideration materialize. This will be the first time this state has isued an embossed number plate The color of the 1920 marker has not been determined. Illinois was one of. the first states to adopt the embossed marker and New York fol lowed a close second. Now, the majority of the states have embossed markers.
 It is said this type of marker has an advantage over the plain marker, in that it can not be repainted satis- factorily, thus eliminating the use of flake" markers. In addition to this the embossed marker adds to the appearance of the car, ccording to a large number of automobile owners.

MILK STRIKE WILL
 MAKE CITIES SUFFER
Farmers Refuse to Sell Their Milk for $3.60 per
 Hundred

Farmers throughout this and nearby states, shipping milk to New York are refusing to bring their milk to the plants and sell it for $3.6O per hundred for per cent. milk commencing January 1st. The price paid inN December was $4.06 and the Dairymen's League, of which practically ninety per cent. of the farmers in this vicinity are members, fixed the price, at $4.01 for this month.
 A statement by the league sent out from New York Dec. 31 says: "The Dairymen's league has figured it's cost of production for January would be $4.01 per hundred pounds for per cent. milk. The dealers refused to accept this figure and offered $360, which is Al cents un- der the cost of production. For the farmers to accept such a price would mean ruin.
 ''Farmers from 24 districts met here last night and decided to hold up all milk to producers until they get fair price for January.
 Officers of the league state that if the league members do not get their price, the milk will be manufactured into butter and cheese. '.
 The Dairymen's league is compos- ed of about 62,000 farmers and has 600 distributing stations for their output. R. D. Cooper, president of the league, in a statement declared that the $4.01 price the farmers de- mand for their January milk repre- sents "only the cost of production" figured on the basis used by the food administration in fixing the price of December milk at $4.06.
 The $4.06 December milk has been retailed in New York at 19 cents quart for Grade A and IT cents quart for Grade B. Hartford dealers reduced the price of milk one cent per quart. Milk delivered to hotels in cans has been reduced to 121s cents per quart.
