BILLINGSLEY NOT LOCAL
RESIDENT; Is FROM EAST

Bilingsley is not a resident of
this city, and, as far as could be
ascertained today, has no relatives
residing in the Territory. He came
here from Ketchikan on December
%, registering at the Alaskan Hotel,
and left for the South on the
steamer Alaska, December 25.
Acting Chief of Police V. l.. Tib-
belts said today he remembered
Billingsley as a man about as years
of age, apparently in good health
and with some money. He gave his
residence as being in Cincinnati,
Ohio, where he is said to have a
wife and daughter living. He is
supposed to have a married daughter
and several friends in Tacoma. Bill
lingeley told Mr.. Tibbets he came
here to study the opportunities for
investment in the fox raising in
dustry.
This was confirmed by John Reck,
President of the First National
Bank, with whom Billingsley con-
ferred regarding one island ranch.
The capital needed was more than
the man controlled but he said he
would return in the Spring after
he had interested some friends in
the project.
Billingsley was said to be a re-
tired rancher with substantial hold
ings in the vicinity of st. Paul,
MINI. He was cent to Alaska by
friend named Swami, an official

from the Revolution of 1888 down to
the World War. In this period Of
226 years, England fought eight major
wars at a cost Of from one hundred
and fifty million dollars for the wars
Of William The Third, to six billion
dollars for the great French wars OF
1872 to 1915.
From 1871 to 1918, or period
covering one and quarter centuries,
the United States government spent
a sum equivalent to less than one
third Of the cost of the World War.
Yet in this period the United States
waged the Revolutionary, The Mexi-
can, The Civil, The Spanish, and
many Indian Wars. At the same time
the American government purchased
Louisiana, Alaska, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, financed a revolution in
Columbia, and built the Panama canal,
the worlds greatest engineering feat.
It is interesting to note that the
combined pre-war wealth Of Italy and
France was slightly under eighty bill
lion gold dollars, or the cost OF the
Great War. Thus. the Great War de-

stroyed what it took four hundred and
fifty years to build and create.
Terrific War Debts
In order to finance the war, the
masses of the affected countries were
subjected to the most burdensome
taxes directly and indirectly. In 1920
the total national debts of the various
countries which were in the war
reached the dizzy heights of $685.
537, 600, 900.
The total debts of the British EN-
pire at that date were nearly fifty
billion dollars. OF this sum, Great
Britain owed more than thirty eight
billion dollars. The French debt was
then more than forty billion dollars;
the American more than twenty-four
billion dollars; the Russian more than
twenty-four billion dollars; the Italian
more than seventeen billion dollars;
the Austrian more than twenty-one
billion dollars; and the German nearly
forty-seyen billion dollars. These to-
tails of course, are inclusive of the
funded and floating internal debts as
well as the foreign government and
foreign market external debts.

Colossal Loss Of Life

The economic losses suffered by
the world war as result of the lives
wantonly destroyed, the wounds in
fiicted upon the soldiery, from massac-
res, contagion, the reduction Of vital
ity amongst the non-combatants be-
cause of mal-nutrition, the stunning
of the lives OF hundreds of thousands
of children, born and yet to be born,
the destruction Of the priceless art,
books, and relics Of the past, of the
buildings, highways, railroads. lands,
factories and mines, defy calculation
by the most diligent and thorough
going of experts.
Without making any attempt to fix
the cost of the war In this light, we
find that the Allied and Central
powers lost nearly thirteen million in
dead, or to be precise, 1o,0o4,771 are
known to be dead, and 1891, 800 are
presumed dead. The average loss
of life per day OF the war was nearly
nine thousand. The total number
killed was more than twice those who
lost their lives In the nine biggest

nlgneSL prices.
For the vast sum spent to wage
the world war, one could purchase
seven times the supply of food and
kindred products turned out in the
United States in 1919; nine times all
the textiles and their products; nine
times all the iron and steel and their
products; and nearly twenty-seven
times all the lumber and its manufac-
lures in the same year.
In 1914 the total wealth of Great
Britain was estimated at about seven
ty billion gold dollars. Thus, all the
property, all the docks, all the rail
ways, the navy, the factories, the tin,
the coal and iron mines, and the
worlds biggest merchant marine
travelling the seven seas, could be
purchased for the gold cost of the war.
In addition, we could have paltry ten
billion dollars with which we might
purchase the total wealth of New
Zealand and Australia.
