for paper in newsprint and other di-
rections.
The production OF wall or hanging
paper huctuates from year to year
partly following the demand for news
print paper, as the machinery can be
used for making either.
Production Drops.
The production in 1919 of wall pa
per was oo,445 tons, or relatively the
same as in 1904, when it was $4,000
tons. In 1914 the amount manufacture
ed was o6,527 tons. The wholesale
value of this product averages $780,
100000 annually.
Until recent years the United States
not only manufactured its wall paper
but sold overseas $1,000,000- worth.
Foreign commerce figures for 1928
show the expectation of 22,956,220
yards, valued at $579,922 as compar-
ed to an importation OF l0,588,83
yards, valued at $558,831.
The billion-dollar paper industry in
the United States owes its growth to
the effort in 1899 of a Frenchman,
Louis Robert, to manufacture wall
paper by the continuous process. The
inventions of Robert were followed up
both in France and England and with
in a dozen years paper was being
made on large scale instead OF by
the hand block method.

80 BILLION IN GOLD
WAS COST OF WAR
THIS is TEN BILLIONS MORE
THAN TOTAL WEALTH OF
GREAT BRITAIN IN 1914.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The war cost
$50. 680,000,000 gold, according to fig
ures compiled by the Bankers Trust
Company of New York, for its new
book, THE internally Debts" and in
order to make this huge sum COM
prehensible it has compared it with
other notably large sums in all inter
csting way.
For example, 80 billion dollars
would reproduce all of the railway
mileage of the world and there would
still be over 20 billion dollars to spare
for some other use-enough to build
and equip a railway system as great
as that of the United States.
In 1914 English economists esti-
mated the wealth of the people OF
Great Britain to be about 70 billion
dollars. All of the property OF every
kind in England, Wales, Scotland and
ireland, the railways, the docks, the
shipping traversing every sea, the en-
tire navy. the great factories, the coal,
tin and iron mines; in short, all tan
gible property of every sort and kind,
IS represented by this 20 billion dol
lars, and yet the war cost III billion
dollars more than this, and 10 billion
dollars is equivalent to the entire tan
oib1e wealth of Australia and New
Zealand.
Spent on Strife.
Another comparson-the pre-war
combined wealth of France and Italy
was lust under 80 billion dollars. The
war caused the Improbable consump-
ton OF goods Of value IN gold
equivalent to all OF the property OF
every kind OF these two great nations
ri nearly 80 million people; an
amount equivalent to the accumuia-
tion OF centuries wasted in AZ years
of insensate strife.
1t is hard to realize, but 1t IS tact
that 80 billion dollars is % per cent
more than the total cost OF govern,
ment in Great Britain for the two ana
quarter centuries which elapsed
from the revolution of 1908 to the
beginning of the great war. 1t cost
- meet the expenses Of Great Britain
for two and a quarter centuries, IN
round figures. So billion dollars.
A Grave Increase.
Coming home Tor a hnal co1aparl-
son the expenses Of the United States
Government from its foundation IN
17o1 through the year 1913, period
nj century and a quarter, were
t,yertv-four and half billion dollars

Of the great war, and yet during this
