The Statistics states that for the
period from April /, 1914. to March
81, 1919, five full fiscal years, the army
expenditure proper was equivalent to
| S14,11S,249,S07, of which S4,00S, $3.50, ,19S
was spent in 191S-19 alone. The aver
age yearly expenditure during the pc
riod was S2,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 191S-19 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:

191S-April 1 to November 0, a
stretch of more than eight months
S36,172, $50 daily. o
To provide for these expenditures

The number of casualties among
British troops in all theaters of war
up TO November IL, 1918, is given as
3,OS4,01S, or more than 80 per cent Of
the total man power employed. OF
these 6S9,246 were killed or died of
wounds or disease, the greatest pro-

occurring among the forces in France.
The wounded numbered 2,035,965.
The operations In Mesopotamia
created the heaviest wastage of all.
There the maximum strength on any

was SS9,702, or all but double, largely
because Of heavy casualties from sick
