GERMANY apparently is running up
- quite a bill in the matter of the

sire 10 make a statement in reference
to the testimony OF the Secretary of
War few days ago before the Mill
tary Affairs Committee of the Senate,
as 10 the amount Of the cost Of our
forces in Germany. The total cost OF
our forces in Germany up 10 date is
the sum of $263. 62S, 800. Up to Sep
.ember 80, 1920, Germany had paid $780,
573.65S, leaving balance due the Uni
led States of S22S,O54.62 The aver

1t, will be S71.21S per day
There was a good deal Of doubt in
the testimony which was adduced be-
fore our committee. and l have the
figures up 10 September 30. 1920. Since
thar time an examination has been
made, but up TO date we have found
no subsequent payments. At all events
the very stupendous sum of S22S. OOO.-
