were not well placed when they
were brought out For instance.
the Chilean government bonds have
not been sold. although every. effort
Is being made to gradually place
them with investors. Some other
issues, including the Gulf Corpora
tion bonds, were not well placed.
and when the syndicate was dis
solved, there was a sharp reaction
of several points in the bonds.
Therefore, bankers say there prob
ably will be only a comparatively
small amount OF new security Offer
ings In the immediate future, or at
least until such time as the market
has shown a very decided indics-
tion of betterment. II was only
natural that prices should have
eased of and that the demand for
securities should have lessened In
the face of the great onslaught Of
new issues that made their appear
ance in the market in January and
February. II was enough to break
any market, and therefore no sur
prise was caused by the ultimate
outcome in this respect. There are

Eject on Market.
One prominent banker in discuss
ing this phase Of the situation said
that the public seems to entertain a
conviction at the moment that some
thing terrible is going TO happen
and that they will be able to. buy
high grade securities several points
cheaper than the present basis OF
quotations. In his opinion about the
worst that can happen already has
taken place and from now on the
day TO day development will be Of
constructive character. He added
that this should not be interpreted
as indicating that there will be a
sharp advance in security prices, but
that generally speaking the market
for all classes and issues should
maintain 4 fairly even keel with a
tendency toward Improvement. He
said that every effort should be
made on the part Of bankers to con-

Worlds War Cost.

The gross cost Of the war TO the
three principal nations was 64,0Oo,-
100000 to France, $4,000. .oo0. 900 to
Great Britain. which includes the
dominions. and $4,000. 900. 900 to the
United States. The terms of.
Versailles treaty provide that Ger
many shall pay only threa general
items: uRepay Belgium for all
foreign loans made by it to prose-
cute the war, including all fines and
taxees imposed by the Germans;s (2)
All damages to persons and prop
erty OF civilians, and t3) all psn-
sion and dependency claims based
on the French rates. Since only a
small fraction of the money spent
by the United States comes under
these heads we can expect but lit
tie reimbursement, ..
The net loss, as shown in the third
column of the table. shows a greater
cost to the United States than to
any other nation involved. The cost
to the United States of SII,s7I,0e0,-
600 Is $670,OO0,000 more than for
Great Britain and 81, SOC, 600, 900 more
than France. The total gross cost
of the war is placed at s177.I0O,oo
600, and the net cost at $f3s,700,-
100000. II Germany Is forced to
pay the s56.OO0, ,OO0. 900 as demanded
by the reparation commission, It
Will still further reduce the net cost
to the European allies without ma
terially affecting the cost to the
United States.
On the other hand, a portion of
the net cost included above repre-
sents war loans, which, assuming
there is no general cancellation OF
debts. will eventually be repaid and
thus lower the cost to the several
countries. Inasmuch as the United
States was the principal lender. this
deduction will lower our cost below
those of the other principal nations.
The following table shows the ef-
feet of this deduction from the cost
as given above for the United States,

On the above basis the final net
cost, assuming all loans are liqsi-
dated. would be considerably higher
to France than to the United States
or Great Britain. The final settle-

final net loss to the United States
greater than to. any +other country.
The methods Of calculating the
gross wsr cost In senator SpencePs
table are open to some objections,
but inasmuch as all other methods
which have been attempted are also
open to criticism the above figures
may be taken as atfair appro xima-
ton. The cost to the United States
is based chiefly on statements from
the ONCE of he Secretary of the
Treasury to 'cw5ich. are added gov
.ernment loans and credits, relief
and Red Cross, contributions, etc.
For the. other nations the gross
cost is obtained by deducting pre-
war nationaiI debts from present in
debtedness and adding abnormai
taxes, civilian. damages, etc. The
credit items take sccouIt chiefly of
territorial acquisitions and certain
deliveries of. coal, livestock and

authorize if the provision for notice is reasonable. Suppose this statute had provided that the funds should be paid over to the county treasurer to be held for the owner for perlod of six months and then if unclaimed should be finally credited to a given public fund. Can it be doubted that the statute would be valid? We think not, for the length of time with in which the fund might be claimed would undoubtedly be reasonable. We are of the opinion that the provision in the present statute is not unreas- enable, for it gives the owner ample opportunity to reclaim his property.
 The chancery court was correct Tn refusing to restrain the enforcement of the statute under consideration and the decree is therefore affirmed.

to the credit of the road and bridge fund of the county. It is contended that this constitutes a contiscation of the property and that if the provision is invalid it vitiates the whole statute. We do not, however, agree with coun- sel in his interpretation of the statute and do not think that it should be construed as a confiscatory provision. The purpose is to give the owner the right to reclaim his property at any time up to the sale by paying the fees and expenses, and the other pro- vision with reference to the residue of the funds constitute merely a final disposition of the funds in the event the owner has failed to claim his
 property. If the terms of the statute are reasonable and give the owner a fair opportunity to reclaim his prop erty upon the payment of accrued eX- penses and fees, then the lawmakers
 have the power to provide for final disposition of the surplus funds, in the event of a sale of the property

on failure of the owner to reclaim 1t. And it does not, under those circum- stances, constitute confscation of the property to authorize the residue of the funds to be appropriated to public use This is the scheme pro vided in our estray laws for the dis position of proceeds of sale of an estray Crawford x Moses Digest, chapter 4, subdivision ? which are, in substance, that a stray animal may be taken up and after appraisal shall be kept for a period of one year, and if not reclaimed shall become the property of the person who takes it up, and that one-half of the net ap- praised value of the animal shall be paid to the county treasurer as public funds This was a part of the Re
 vised Statutes of 1888, with only a few amendments up to this day, and the validity of these provisions has never been challenged On the con- trary, this court has impliedly, if not expressly, sanctioned them and up held their validity in several cases.
 The only difference between the two statutes so far as concerns the validity of the one now under con- sideration is as to the time given for retaining the property by the owner and that presents the question whe
 ther or not the time given for re-
 clamation by the owner is reasonable. Our conclusion is that it is reason able. or at least that we should not, in the face of the legislative deter imitation, declare it to be unreason- able This particular statute applies to a limited territory, and there is q given by the justice of the peace as soon as the impounded animal is ap
 praised and which is posted in five public places in the immediate local ity where the animal is taken up. Ten days notice is required where the property is not over $50 in value and twenty days where it is over that value. After condemnation a notice of sale is then required, which is not only by posting in the locality but by publication in a newspaper. This mo- tice is reasonably calculated to bring home to the owner information as to the fact that his animal has been taken up and is sufficient to satisfy the demands of justice. It is req sonable interpretation of this statute that the owner may appear and re- claim the property itself at any time before it is sold, but the statute makes it the duty of the officer to deliver the proceeds of the sale of unreclaimed property to the county treasurer. It is intended, not as a confiscation of the property of the owner or of the funds arising from the sale, but as a disposition of the surplus funds aris- ing from the sale of the unreclaimed property. This the Legislature could
