COSTOF WAR
BCOMPUTED
Italian Statisticians Place Ex-

(. 67,600,000,000 Lire.

~ ALANAA FOVD
tUHited Press Sia6 Correspondent
RoME. Jnne 29.-Italian statis;icians
have just arrived at the total cost of
the war TO Baly.
The figure Is placed at $500, 100000
Ire. although this is admittedly far be-
low the complete cost.
The figure was arrived al By finding
the difference between the expenditures
of the Italian urinistry Of war and the
ministry Of marine for the period begin
ming August l, 1914. and ending Decem-
Der 81, 1920, and the expenditures of
ihe two ministries for the preceding cor
responding period Of peace conditions
vi During this pcsse period the two
ministries spent total Of 600. 100000
lire while the total expenditures for the
war period mentioned above were a..
300.0O0.OO0 lire.
According to Italian stsiisticisns. how
ever. the difference Of 67.600-000000 lire
still lacks about % per cent Of what the
war cost Italy, because, in addition 10
the money actually spent for war ma.
ierial, the maintenance Of the army and
navy, other dcrivative expenses have been
thrown onto the government such as the
war pensions and assistance to the fam
ilies Of the uobilized.
With this additional 20 per cent added
to the actual war expenses, the total
cost Of the war to Itsiy would there.
fore reach approximately 8l,0OO, 100000
lire.
As a consequence Of this war expen-
difure. llsly's war Indebtedness, as just
compiled by the state statislicians, reach.
Is about 62lO0OO00, 600 lire. OF this tesal.
about Al SO0.00O.OO0 consists Of internal
obligations and the remaining 2O.S00..
100000 in foreign debts. The former
costs Italy in interest 2.200.0OO,000 lire
annually. while the foreign war debt costs
about 2,20O. 100000 lire annually.

When a lawyer makes mis-

When doctor makes mis-

When a judge makes a mistake
it becomes the law Of the land.
When a preacher makes a mis-
take. no body knows the differ

When an electrician makes
mistake. he blames it on Undue

stated that there would be hundreds
Of tourists coming through here every
month. The fact that 1000 inquir-
les were received by Mr.. Morris from
single little advertisement publish
ed one time shows the interest taken
in such tours. This one fact Mr..

| dence to shows the interest taken in
such tours. This one fact Mr.. Will

Following Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Nor

Mr.. Morris then told of the 11-day
trip, that all roads were good except
one place in Kentucky, that they lost
four carloads of tourists at the Nam
mouth Cave and that the best piece of
road between Chicago and Bogalusa
was the road from Hattiesburg to
Poplarville. Mr.. Morris stated that
he again expected 20 bring larger
number of tourists through here.
Short talks were also made by B.
D. Talley and Judge C. Ellis OFT.
Mrs. Cora Phillips, one of the visi-
tors, then rendered two songs, which
were heartily applauded.
Following the dinner a dance was
held and the visitors, as we'll as the

Big Touring Party
Get Warm Welcome

The party of tourists who arrived
in BOgalusa on the Dixie Notorious
Caravan Thursday afternoon, were
loud in their praise Of Bogalusa and
the reception accorded them. eve
thought that the climax had been
reached by the citizens of Meridian"
said the spokesman of the party to
the Enterprise, "but if Meridian was
the climax, then our stay in BOga-
lusa must have been the super-climax.
Every member of our party is as en-
thusiastic over your city as Mr.. Sui
Ivan. We all hope to be here again"
A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, headed by H. E. Roster,
went to Hattiesburg Wednesday and
escorted the tourists to Bogalusa.
The local boosters had told them so
much about the remarkable progress
of the city that they came expecting
a great deal-and then were given
the most genuine surprise of the en-
tire trip.
On their arrival at the Pearl river
ferry, Mayor Sullivan and a party
of citizens welcomed the visitors in
a typical Bogalusa fashion and in a
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1921-11-10

few minutes all were warm friends.
Cliff Williams, one Of Mississippi's
most distinguished citizens, accom-
panied the party and had them in
good spirits for their entry to Loui-
siana. The visitors were escorted
through the plants of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, the Boz
galusa Paper Company and to all
points of interest.
At 6:3O Mayor Sullivan enter
tanned the visitors and about 100 citi-
zens to a dinner at the Pine Tree Inn,
which was one of the most enjoy
able of the many similar events.
Never at such gatherings in Bogalusa
has a more friendly spirit prevailed.
Following the dinner Mayor Sullivan
made a few remarks relative to the
growth and development of the city
of Bogalusa and Of the pleasure it
gave the citizens to entertain the
Dixie Caravan Party. He then in
troduced Cliff Williams, of Meridian,
who proved to be an entertaining
speaker. Mr. Williams praised Be-
galusa and gave credit to Mr.. Sulli-
van far the great work he has done
and I. the citizens for giving such
splent.. cooperation.
He Stated that the building of
good roads to connect New Orleans
with Chicago, via Bogalusa, would
mean as much to this city as the
building of two trunk railroads. He
