WORLD WAR IS
 TO COST U. s.
 100 BILLIONS

What is the cost of war? Not in Human misery, but in cold cash? Henry Morton Robinson, in an arti- Gle in the Rotarian Magazine, pre- diets that by the time the last Lib- erty Bond is retired, the last bonus certificate cashed, the last disabled veteran buried, and the last pre- mium paid, the World War will have cost the citizens of the United States total of 100 billion dollarSl
 "At the close of the fiscal year 1920" he writes, the Treasury De- partment of the United States un- obtrusively announced that Ameri- cats participation in the World War had cost 27 billion dollars. Staggering as the figure was, no one believed it to be the total cost of that great struggle to American tax payers. And it wasn't At the end of June, 1886, the direct cash cost of the World War to- the United States-not including such indiree. costs as the Wars share in causing the depression-was 45 billion dos- lars.
 Next year this figure will have to be revised upward again by one billion, and in 1888 still another bil- lion will be added. A half century from now Americans will still be paying at the rate of a billion tt;)l- lars annually.
 If anyone doubts that war is re- sponsible for the larger part of the national debt,n he continues, let him scan the following figures: In 1916, the public debt of the United States was one and one-fourth Dil- lion; the per capita interest charge on this modest indebtedness was 22 cents. Two years of war shot this debt up to 26 billion dollars - the most terrifying and spectacular sky rocketing of public obligations s-nce governments began to kesp books. Interest charges advanced to nearly $6 head-and have remained there ever since.
 Next to interest charges on oul national debt. the Veterans Admin istration usually claims the largest annual share of taxpayers dollar. This burden has already spent Y billion dollars. Last year it eXpend- ed $50 millions-and this sum does not include a single penny of bonus money, either. The principal outlay was for pensions and disability pay ments.' The author points out that of this amount, survivors of the In dian Wars, and some relics of the Mexican War Q845), and even the War of 1872, received an aggregate of 13 million dollars.
 T believe" concludes MT Rob inson it needs no further demon stration to prove that neither gov ernments nor taxpayers find war a profitable undertaking. Disregard ing the human sacrifices that must le made, passing lightly over the millions of young lives snuffed out Aby war, it should be an easy matter in this ledger-minded world of ours to indict war as waster of public treasure and a ruinous financial venture to all who engage in it.

Jeremiah L Lawlor
 Hit, Run Victim

Dr. Edward J. Kirschbaum, medi- cal examiner, and Coroner John T.. Monzani, who examined the body, were puzzled by it's position, which seemed to indicate that 1t was dragged off the road after the acci- dent. It was to the left, and almost directly in back of telephone pole near the roadside. In order to strike MT. Lawlor at the spot oppo- site which he was found, 1t was pointed out, car would first have to strike the pole. It was untouched
 Police Send Warning
 Police throughout the state were notified this morning to be on the watch for cars bearing signs of re- cent accidents and local garages will be thoroughly checked today. Detective Lieutenant William Pol- lard is conducting the police inves- tigation.
 Authorities were hampered this morning by the rain, which softened footprints in the mud around the body. The fact that several persons had arrived at the scene before in- vestigators made the footprints almost worthless as evidence.
 Body Was Removed
 Dr. Kirschbaum gave permission for the removal of the body to the Mulville Funeral Home where he was later to conduct further ex- animation. Death was apparently due to a fractured skull. Rigor mortis had set in, according to pr. Kirschbaum. Apparently MT. Law Tor had been dead at least several hours.
 Took Walks Every Night
 Mrs. Kuester, grief -tsricken by the sudden tragedy, explained that her father was in the habit of taking short walks just after he had eaten supper in each evening. She said he almost invariably followed the same route and was back at home within @ short time.
 Last night, she said, he was to have accompanied her to church and as she was not quite ready, he told her he was going for a walk. He complained that 1t was too warm in the house and that he wanted to get some fresh air.
 When he did not return as usual, MT. Kuester began his fruitless search, she said, which ended with the discovery of MT. Lawlor's body this morning.

Eden and Lord Halifax, together with Belgium's argument that a deIniIitarized zone on her frontier was even more important to her security than was a demilitarized zone to France.
 Belgium Complication
 The Belgian argument was an un- forseen complication. Tn the ex- citement that followed Hitler's vio- Iation of the Rhineland zone, it was forgotten that Belgium was involved. Germany used as it's excuse to re- arm the French frontier the new which it held to be in etaobeesatn Russian French military alliance which it held to be in effect de- nunciation of Locarno. But Belgi- um is not concerned with this alli- ance, yet Hitler put troops on gher frontier also. Belgians remembered 1914, when they were theoretically protected by the famous scrap of paper.
 News from Germany continued to encourage hope hat a pacific settlement of the crisis might be effected. G. Ward Price, special correspondent of the Daily Mail who has interviewed Hitler on oc- caSions of Great moment, tele- graphed another interview from Munich in which he quoted Hitler as saying unreservedly that his offer of a series of non-aggression pacts with Germany's neighbors included Austria and Czechoslovakia, and as saying in effect that he was willing to await Frances answer to his offers until after the April 26 French parliamentary election.
 It IS possible that Hitler will refer to the European situation at Karls- ruhe tomorrow, when he makes his first speech of the Reichstag elec- ton campaign. Tn any event, the government believes that it's first concern in tomorrow's negotiations will be with France and it's strong demands.
