U. S. STILL PAYS
BILLION YEARLY
ON WORLD WAR
Mellon Reports Huge Sums
Required to Clear Debt
of Conflict.
BY CECIL OWEN,


WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-More
than ten years after the end of hos
tilities, the World war still is cost
ing the United States about one bill
lion and quarter dollars annually.
In his annual report for 1927.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
estimated the total money cost of
the war to the United States as
$35,119,622,144.
This estimate was revised in Mel
Ions report for the present year and
the total now is placed at $36,360,-
232, 063, an increase for the year Of
$1,240, 609,9l9.
Continuing costs of the World war
are the expenses of the veterans
bureau, interest on that part of the
public debt of the United States
created as a result of the war, and
construction of hospitals for the
care of veterans of the war, Mellon
explained.
Total money cost of the war to
this country is arrived at by de-
Quoting the normal expenditures Of
the government during the war
period" from the total expenditures
between the declaration of war on
April 6, 1917, and the official end
of the state of war with Germany
on July 2, 1921. The war period"
did not end officially until three
years after the Armistice and after
Signing of the Versailles treaty.
Obligations of foreign govern
ments to the United States, which
now total $11, 1853, 406, 768.55, are
eliminated from the costs because
these debts gradually are being re-
paid by most of the foreign govern
mentS.
Payments to be received from
abroad have been discounted in this
cost estimate so as to show their
present value under the various
funding agreements.

Through his personal effort and in

BURTON TO
PRESENT PIANIST

Since the years before the World
war no European musician of such
interest and eminence has visited
America as Sergei Rachmaninoff,
celebrated Russian composer plan
list who will be heard in a concert
of music for the piano at the Murat
theater Sunday afternoon, Jan. 10
under the local management of
Henry K. Burton.
AS a pianist and composer of mu-
sic for the piano, Rachmaninoff
primarily addresses himself to the
American public. For years in
Russia, in other countries in Eu-
rope, and in America since 1919 he
has given proof of his remarkable
technical powers and true virtuoso
instinct for the piano.
A master of the keyboard, Rach-
maninoff has shown no less signal
ability as an interpretative artist,
playing with rare insight and i'm
agination, eloquence and poetry.
In particular these notable quail
tiles shine through his own music,
which will range from the preludes
and other short, fanciful pieces
which every amateur knows,
through exacting works of large
dimensions in which he arrays all
his pianistic powers.
Seldom is a composer of high
rank so fortunate as to be able, like
Rachmaninoff, to set forth as plan
iSt his own music in his own way.

American flight has been a favorite

rest on their journeys longer than
anyone knows.
Like their imitators the bird
men," they have but one thing to
fear above all else, storm on the
ocean. Whole flights are frequently
lost when they run into bad weather
and there is no friendly ship in
which to take shelter.
One more thing, first robin

Glen Haven Plots Is

LAW BLOCKS PROJECT
BIZ Times Special


LANSING, Mich, March lathe
Michigan securities commission to-
day was investigating to determine
whether stop order should be
issued against the Glen Haven Gem
etery Association inc. Of Indian
apolis.
The investigation was begun ten
days ago upon information from all
Indianapolis man who was APP
preached by agents of the Glen
Haven association with a sales talk
in which statements were made
about the Indianapolis cemetery sit
uation which the Indianapolis man,
having just come from the Hoosier
capitol, said were untrue.
A group of Indianapolis men lei
by A. L. Roberts as president. have
been attempting to establish a
cemetery on 100 acres across Kessler
Blvd from Broadmoor Country
Club at Michigan Rd. for almost
three years. The project originally
was known as the Mt. Moriah Gem
etery Association, which figured in
one Of the numerous embroglios Of
the Indianapolis city council.
Ordinance Blocks Project
The investigation here hinges
upon whether the Glen Haven con-
Germ, which, since the Indiana
securities opposed operation in that
State, has taken almost quarter Of
a million dollars out of Michigan
investors, has been selling interests
in the cemetery with the knowledge
that legally it cannot establish a
burial ground on The particular
plot.
The project was blocked In IN
dianapolis in 1925, when an ordin-
ance prohibiting establishment of
cemetery adjacent to park property
was invoked. Kessler Blvd. is park
property. The Mt. Moriah people
induced city council to pass an Or
dinance repeating this ordinance
but before Mayor John L. Duvall
had an opportunity to syn or veto
it he received a letter from Council
men Walter r. Dorsett, Otis E.
Bartholomew, Boynton j. Moore
and Austin H. Todd, asking him to
veto 1t or Serd 1t back to council,
saying they haG just discovered The
promises of enormous profits. THE
repeal move died there.
Fight for Sale Right
In 1926, the Glen Haven associ-
alton was organized and took over
the Mt. Moriah property. The plan
of sale was changed to provide for
the marketing of parcels of the
land which the purchasers were to
resell to those desiring to bury their
dead in the cemetery.
Glen Haven representatives are
fighting vigorously to retain the
right to sell in Michigan, contend
ing that the Indianapolis ordinance
is unconstitutional. So far as
Michigan authorities can learn the
ordinance has not been tested in
the courts, but the question has
been laid before Assistant Attorney
General Emerson r. BroyleS.

THE first robin isn't the first at

Our time-tried ideas about
George Washington and his

been upsetting.

by bird lovers a number of revela-

stance in the case of the wren at
no time have banded birds been
found to keep the same mates

Several interesting cases of the

a truly Don Juan fashion have
been observed by Indianapolis bird
enthusiasts.

and cat birds are the most con-
slant in their mating" Perkins
said.

expert upon the feathered tribe,
has been gathering for many
years.
While the robin remains a mi
gratory bird there are several
things that cause them frequently
to become non-migratory, Perkins
says. For instance, the small
birds of the late brood may not
be able to start on the long trip
with the main flight. They are
left behind, along with those who
are sick or moulting. Having lost
out. they soon lose the migrating
instinct. So there always are
few around, no matter what the
weather.

HOGUE GAINS POINT
IN MAYOR BATTLE

Claim of ex-City Controller
Joseph L. Hogue to the Office of
mayor was believed strengthened
late Tuesday when Circuit Judge
Harry Q. Chamberlin sustained his
demurrer to the quo warranto suit
brought by another contestant for
the Office, Ira M. Holmes.
At the same time, Judge Cham

Ert Slack to strike out certain parts
of the complaint. Slack was CO.
defendant with Hogue, who was city
controller under Mayor Lew Shank.
Slack was given until March 20
to answer.
Hogue's title to the Office is being
adjudicated in a suit pending be-
fore the State Supreme Court.

The area about the village has
been turned into mire of mud and

and any attempt to land would be
extremely hazardous, it was said.
The residents reported they were
settling down to reduced rations to
conserve the food supplies until
roads are reopened or food dropped
from an airplane.
The village was isolated Feb. 90
when heavy snowfalls and winds
placed drifts ranging from twelve
to fifteen feet in roads. Additional

passable since that time and no
trains have been able to enter there.

Tuesdays decision did not enhance
Hogue'S chances other than hold
ing in effect that Holmes has little
claim to the Office. This interpre-
tation was placed on the decision by
attorneys in the case.
Hogue's demurrer took the posi-
ton that Holmes can not show his
right to the Office by attacking the
right of Hogue; although a quo
warranto suit does place the burden
of proof on the defendants in that
they must show their claims to the
Office.
Hogue's claim to the Office is based
on thefclaim that as Mayor Shank S
city controller, he became mayor at
the time Mayor John L. Duvall was
found guilty Of violating the corrupt
practices act.
