Rising Cost Of Mass Homicide

Wars just deadly-even more deadly-In Han
nbaFs Julius Caesars time today. But they were
not costly in money measures.
It has been estimated says Nations Business that the
of killing enemy soldier 70 cents in julius
Caesars day; during the Thirty Years War that ended
IN 64s has risen to $780, and in the American Civil War
the mortality expense was 5000 So vastly had
the gentle art of wholesale slaughter changed In half
century that by the time of the World War the cost OF
killing $4,000 And experience during the
first few months of the present indicates that the
governments involved have lay down the staggering
sum of s125.000 for each dead man.
Modern war is a titantic struggle economic quite as
much as military The nations locked In combat over
seas are deliberately mpoyerishng themselves More than
that they are morgaging the future of their children
the second and third generation 1t is seriously to be
doubted that the financial obligations now being incurred
by the beligerent powers will ever be paid An English
Statesman visiting in America admits frankly that after
the war I'VE will al have TO start from scratch"

Lewis singled out labor
spokesman on OPM, Sidney Hill
man, for special eastigation.
"Hillman he SAID, stood
alongside the president when he
signed the order sending troops
into Inglewood. Hillmsn laugh
ed. while we wept.'
The mine boss charged that
the president was using Hlllman
to purge labor, not of commu-
nists. but of individuals who re-
fused to approve administration
policies. He assailed another
presidential appointee. Chairman
Davis Of the national mediation
board. for interfering in negoti-
atoms between his coal miners
and southern operators. He as
serted the the key anti-strike
bill, the Vinson proposal, was in
spired and written by presiden-
tisl aides,
When opposing speakers de-
Tended the administration as
friendly TO labor Lewis re-
torted that sometimes friendly
enemies can do more damage
than foes who fight IN the open
When Hillmans friends resented
the attack on their organization,
he replied that he was not criti-
Ching the Amalgamated, only
Hillman." But II was obvious
that he denounced Hillman and
Davis simply as a means of
striking at the president.

Congress laughed when the

as valuable as Seward said It
vas. Why did Russia want "a sell
for a little less than $40 a square

Seward Just kept on talking
and after three years. uncon-
vincsd but tired Of hearing him,
congress authorized the pur-

Of Stewards iceberg"
The big gold strike on the
Yukon set the eyes of the entire
world on Alaska and then the
United states began TO think
that maybe Seward had not
made such q had bargain after
all. Just how good bargain he
made Was confirmed when the
steamship Portland arrived at
seattle with a million dollars
worth Of gold.
That was the beginning Of the
end of congressional lethargy in
regard TO Alaska. but there were
still doubters who questioned the
advisability of having to take
over a great area of ice and
snow so far from home even
though there was a pocket Of
gold here and there.
II was about 25 years after
the great gold strike that there

there had not been found other

Alaska, it is conceded that

spotted its Tribal No. II well 1900
feet northeast of its successful No.

of production in a straight line from
northeast to southwest, whereas the
regional folding is from north
west to southeast. 1t was opened
up by the Santa Rita-Lander No. 1
which had an initial of 1900 Dbl.

some $1,250,0O0 worth Of oil thus
far. Wells east and west missed the
rich production in the upper Sun
burst sand.
A second well a quarter mile
southwest trapped the pool and
since that time locations have been
made by sighting across the der
ricks of succeeding producers until
now the Tribal No. IA is 2 II miles
from the Texaco-Tweedy No. on
the southwest end of the trend.
Location is 245 feet south of the
