Costs Millions
for One Battle

mics cost correspondingly great sums.
Inc Statistics" states that for the
period from April 1, 1914, to March
81, 1919, five full fiscal years, the army
expenditure proper was equivalent to
Sl4 ,llS,249,807, of which S4,OOS, 33O, 1893
was spent in 1853 alone. The aver
age yearly expenditure during the pc
Rod was $2,S23,649,9S1. The army ex-
penditure for the year April 1, 1913,
to March 81, 1914, was $137, S57 256.
SO the average war time annual ex-
penditure was 2,04S per cent of what
it had been, and during 1888 was
more than 1900 per cent higher.
And the army expenditure was only
one of several war cost items. An
other table gives the average daily ex-
penditures at different periods for the
army, navy, munitions, shipping, etc.,
as follows:
1916-October to December 8,
$27,970,040 daily.
1917-April l to May 5, when the
Germans retreated to the Hindenburg
line and the Arras offensive began,
$36, 261, O20 daily.
1917-NOvembe 1 to January 10,
1913, the period Of the peak load, $780,
$50, $40 daily.
191S-April 1 to November 9, a
stretch of more than eight months,
$36, 172,9SO daily.
To provide for these expenditures
parliament granted between August 6,
1914, and November -, 1918, a series
of % war votes of credit ranging in
amount from f37. 100000 to f7OO,OOO,-
000 The grand total of these credits
was fS,742, 100000, equivalent to $42,-

and unlike France, adopted the pay as

in World War.

New York.-Everybody knows that
the late and still lamented war was
not only the biggest but the costliest
war IN history. 1t remained for Great
Britain to show how rapidly modern
warfare runs into money, so that, for
instance, the mere setting of the stage
for a single battle may cost upward
of $100000,000.
During the fourteen days from July
IL to July 30, 1917, the British army
was getting ready for the third battle
of Ypres. Part of this preparation
consisted in a thorough bombardment
of the German positions, during which
the British guns expended 1928, $50
rounds of ammunition. This ammuni-
ton cost f22, 211 ,3S9 las. 4d., or ap-
proximately O7,947,3 51 at normal ex-
change, according to statistics of the
military effort of the British empire
during the great war"
This formidable volume, recently
published with the sanction of the
war Office, audits Armageddon and
renders a cost accounting of destruc-
ton with almost appalling minuteness,
as witness the four pence noted in the
receipted bill for the preliminary bonn
bardment Of Ypres, which is further
more itemiZed to show the different
varieties and sizes of shell used. They
ranged from 1,606 fired by the giant
fifteen inch howitzers to 2.239,60S
shrapnel and high explosive from the
contemporaries corresponding to
our three-inch field gun. Next to these
the six-inch howitzers consumed most
shell-750, 119-and the 4.5-inch gun
was a close third with 72S,345.
The total cost of this preparation
was greater than that CT any other
INDUCED in by the British during the
war. But the cost per day had
mounted to an even higher level six
weeks earlier, when, from May 20 to
June 6, they were getting set for the
battle of Messines. During a period
of IL days their artiIlerists expended
1861, $50 rounds at an approximate
cost of $85,O75,502. This averages
$7,734,227 a day, where the longer
bombardment at Ypres averaged ST.
710,525.
