WARS COST
By H. Addington Bruce

TIME madness and wastage Of war are
strikingly brought out by statement
from Professor Richard P. Strong, of
Harvard University, summarizing the colossal
burden placed upon mankind by the recent
world war. AS an argument for the effect
ing of league or association of nations in
tended primarily to insure lasting peace
nothing could be more convincing than Pro-
lessor Strong's statement.
According to his carefully compiled fig
ures the cost Of the war, in terms of money,
reaches the stupendous total of S348,OO0,-
100000. This sum includes $186,O00, 000,-
600 as direct costs, $84,000,0 100000 as tndi-
rect costs and $78,0O0,000,000 as costs due
to the number of lives sacrificed.
The actual and potential loss Of life due
to the war he places at 100000 men and
women, boys and girls. The great majority
OF those slain were males between the ages
of twenty-five and forty-four. Some nations,
of course, suffered far more than others. 1t
will take France, Professor Strong believes,
seventy years to recover her loss in popula-
ton.
But all the peoples who took part in the
war; whether on the side of the victors or
of the vanquished, came out losers in some
degree. Which is always what happens as
a consequence of war. And in addition every
war inflicts burden on posterity as we'll as
on the generation taking part in it.
Consider, for example, the terrible toll i'm
posed upon the people of the United States
today in the way both of paying for past
wars and preparing for prospective ones. A
statistical table drawn up by a government
official, E. B. Rosa, and printed in the Bea-
con, the legislative bulletin of the Massachu-
sets League of Women Voters, gives these
figures:
Total federal appropriations for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1920, $5,686,O05, 7O6.
Of this amount / per cent expended on such
public welfare interests as agriculture, labor,
public health and education; per cent on
public works; 80 per cent on administration
of the government.
This leaves balance of 92.8 per cent of
the national appropriations unaccounted for
Where did it go? To payment of past wars
o7.8 per cent, and to the cost of present
ornaments 25 per cent.
Similar financial surveys of the expendi-
lures of other highly civilized countries
would undoubtedly show a not dssimi1ar dis
tribution of public money. Can any country
afford to keep up the pace?
Nay, will the people of any country be
willing Indefinitely to turn over their hard
earned gainings to the tax collector on the
understanding that more than 80 per cent
of what they transmit to their government
will go to war appropriations?
Surely the day of the lingo, the profess
sional patriot, the legislator ultra-sensitive
about his country's dignity, is almost done
Surely the time is almost at hand when peo-
pie will require of their elected representa-
tives firm front against the war-hounds and
sincere desire to give reality to the ideal
of world fraternity and true civilization
through peace.

Tolls of Reckless Driving

T HE industrial department of one of
the leading life insurance companies
of the United States and Canada
makes the gratifying report that the death
rate among it's insured Wage-earners in 1920
was only nine and seven-tetnfs per thou
sand, or nine per cent lower than in the
preceding, and twenty-three pc, cent lower
than in 1911. There were pronounced de-
clines in mortality from tuberculosis and
pneumonia, the former showing a decrease
of forty per cent during the decade, and also
marked reductions in fatal aiiidents, except
those connected with automobile s.
Speed fends and careless drivers never
before cost the country so dearly as in 1920
when according to the records o. the COM
and nine-tenths per ore hundred thousand,
the slightest fatality figure known sin the
statistics of this group of wage-earners
1t appetrs indeed that the rate is two-thirds
above that for typhoid fever and higher than
that for any other of the more general
causes of accidental death. From the fig
ures for insured wage-earners,'' the report
concludes, 1--WE estimate that there were in
the whole of the United States and Canada
during 1920 nearly thirteen thousand deaths
resulting from automobile accidents and in
juries.'
There is no more imperative duty in the
field of human conservation than that of
controlling this America-wide mentce to
life. What prompt and substantial results
cal be accomplished through methods which
are duly sustained, as well as vigorous and
intelligent, appears from Atlanta's expe-
rience in recent months The great majority
of motorists, who are always for the kind
of driving that will avoid accidents, have.
co-operated with the police in a persistent
effort to stop recklessness, thoughtlessness
and the infraction of traffic rules from the
sin.p lest to the most serious. The educatiVe
effect of this widespread co-working for
safety has been valuable beyond measure,
and together with tho steady pursuit and
punishment of offenders, has led to highly
gratifying improvement and reform.

4 Needed Forestry Program

~ HANKS to the thoughtful and persist
ent efforts of the American Forestry
| Association, a definite policy for con-
serving the country's tree resources has been
devised and assured of united backing by
the intelligently inform !. Details of the leg
islation to be urged may call forth differ
ences of Judgment, but there will be undi-
vided support of the general Program the
chief objects of which are: a survey of for
est resources and timber requirements; for
est research work, including scientific study
of wood utilization; the reforestation of de-
nuded lands in national forests; the acqul-
stion of additional forest reserves; and the
cooperation of the States and the Federal
Government where their interests in this
great field of the common welfare overlap.
These plans have the Endorsement, not of
the professional conservationists alone, but
also of the representative lumber and paper
industries wholesale lumber distributors
wooc-using manufactures, publishers, asso-
cations students of agricultural conditions,
and hundreds of thousands of thinking men
and women in the ran and file. This VIDE
reaching concern for the repair of forest
waste and destruction is abundantly Justl-
fed by the facts and by the vital interests
ply has been exploited recklessly that we
are in grave per- Of being utterly lmpoV~
erished in that field of natural treasure I'M
less prompt and vigorous measures of rest1-
tuition are taken. Every one of the thousands
of industries and tens of thousands of prod
ucts into WllcL wood or wood fibre enters
are involved, as are also the millions of con-
sumers of such products.
Moreover, the basic fortunes Of agricul-
ture are bound up with the success of this
cause, for without the protection which for
ests afford ,gainst soilwasting floods, with
out their aid in conserving moisture and
tempering climate for the advantage of plant
growth, farms will lose their fertility and,
in the course of time, deserts will stretch
gaLnt where crops once were green.
If all these interests are to Je served and
saved from the distress of continued defor-
estation, there must be not onl va stoppage
of waste but also replacement, as far as
feasible, Of forests which have been swept
ruthless1y away. For this latter purpose val
liable use of idle lands unsuited to crops or
pasturage; there many millions of such
acres Obviously. too, there must be coop
Grafton between governments, State and
Federal. and private industry and ownership.
In working out a practicable program to
these ends that the Forestry Association has
rendered priceless service. May its good eff
forts continue to be rewarded with rich
results

OUIPS AND QUIDDlTIES

"Germany's attitude toward peace is
ominous," said General Laurin Lawson at a
luncheon in Louisville. Germany reminds
me, in fact, of the new parlor maid whose
mistress said to her: And above all things
expect you to be reticent.' Yes, ma'am,
certainly, of course, ma'am, said the new
maid. Then she leaned toward her mistress
with shining eyes. And what's there to be
reticent about. ma'am?' she asked"
ried an infant OF surprising ugliness, entered
London bus A man who sat opposite
them seemed fascinated by the ugliness of
the baby, and could not keep his eyes off it..
At length the mother, annoyed by the pro-
longed stare, leaned forward and said Rub
bert"
The man, unaware that this is the Yankee
expression for staring, gave a sigh of relief
and replied:
THANK heavens! I thought it was real"

Loses Popularity

Admiral Won Tirpitz has lost his popu-

12,000-ton freighter Tirpitz was to have
been launched at Flensburg for Hugo
SHINES, coal baron, but just before the
ceremony the workmen in the shipyard
met and voted by a two-thirds majority
not to permit the launching unless the
ships name was changed.
Won Tirpitz, who was to make the
christening spectacular heard of the
workmen's action and did not appear.
The launching has been postponed in

An economical wife may make man hap

The best combination for E woman is an
old head, a young heart, and baby face.
When a woman can't fascinate man she
is tormented to decide whether it's because
she isn't good enough or because she isn't
wicked enough; whereas 1T is usually because
she isn't much o. anything.
When a man starts out with the firm de-
termination not to marry, he is sure to come
to a sad but respectable end as a devoted
husband; but, when he starts out with no in
tentions whatever, there is chance that
he'll die with bachelors buttons on.

Therefore. for us there is time of COM

power seems entirely paralyzed.
There is an enormous amount of mental
unhealthiness of all degrees in Cur midst,
but practically no notice is taken unless a
case reaches stage where it advertises it
self. This is partly for the reason already
mentioned that a stigma has unfortunately
been attached to the possession of mind that
varies from what people call normal. The
other reason why more people who are af-
fected by mental troubles do not consult an
expert is tina: they do not know where to
find one.
The doctor at mental hygiene clinic here
tells us that the general medical practitioner
is inclined tc put mental troubles into two
classes-those that are imaginary or that are
minor symptoms of physical disorder, and
those that are obviously serious enough to
be diagnosed only by an alienist
Mental Clinics Increase
All the 'arge cities, however now maintain
mental clinics, and there are generally also
psychiatrists who diagnose and treat mental
disease. The me doctor imp esses upon us
the fact that the name 'psychiatrist' or some
other impressive title cannot be taken in it
self as sign of competence. He advises that
no one should consult any pl actiioner for
mental advice without first ascertaining
whether the doctor in question is a member
of the local medical society. IL a large city
there is also generally society of doctors of
nervous and mental diseases, and if there is
such a local organization, the practitioner
should be checked up there.
That mental diseases can be traced back
either to livnr conditions or tc bodily dis
order and that they can be successfully treat
ed, are still new ideas to many people, The
