WAR'S COST British Whig ANALYZED BY SIR GEORGE: PAISH I-- If Continued For Another Year War Expenditure Wil Total Five Billion Pounds Sterling-- How Economic Loss May Be Repaired. .. By Marshal London, Feb'. 12 Paish recognized as one of the really great economists of Europe. I asked him, when I saw him at the office. of his publication, Statist, to estimate the cost of tha War, as far as this may- be dome by anyone ay this time "Up to October 1st, war had continued for fourteen months," said he, "it had cost £4 275,000;000, or about five times that many dollars. "Since then, up to January lst of the new year, the expenditures have been at the rate of about £14,000 400, or $70,000,000 a day. * "The current rate of expenditure | in the war, if continued for a year, would total about five-thousatid mil lion pounds sterling, or twenty-five thousand-million' dollars----a sum aven less concelyable by the average mind." These utterly staggering figures prompted my next query atime," 1 asked, "would be requir- td for the exhaustion of the world's total wealth if expenditures should be kept up at this rate?" "We cannot reckon in that way Sir George replied. + "Out of 1his money which is being expended something like half the populations of the various countries involved, ex cluding Russia, are being maintain od. "For the most part war expendi tare has simply taken the place other expenditure. Whether the na tions are at peace or at war the men ! Who make up armies must have food and clothing, "The only extra expenditure tirely peculiar to war time, is involved in the unusual wear tear of clothing worn by the men in military service and their unusually great consumption of food. "The vast numbers of people who are now engaged in the production of munitions, clothing and other sup plies for the armies would need to be maintained in any For the most part they are doing much the same sort af work in waw'time that they did in peace (ies The tail- Faward Sir is or after the thy!

The | Therefore let iy ask: What has the | world lost through this war? What Has The World Loft? "In England very few new homes | ltave been built since the war began. The great sums of money which ought to have been devoted to this purpose have been spent in making cannon, ammunition and other war time commodities, practically all of which have been or will be destroyed.

But the money which | would have been used for this pu: pose has heen spent, , Instead (at | least in part,) in raising and main- taining armies "But for the war Great Britain | would have been able to find vast sums, and would have found them, | for railroad construction, particular ly in India and €hina, where every mile of pew-built railway means new built human. progress and the ad- vancement of civilization "Fortunately railway construction nada, the Argéntine and South | 'a, generally, had been practi- | being cally completed for the time { when the war began The new railways in China and | Tudia are very hadly needed, but the | money which might have been avail- able for their construction has been used, and will be used, for building nothing whatever unless it builds, as must hope, a lasting peace evervone England's Real Expenditure, { i i ' The loss which Great Britain hag suffered through the war is not her By the Timely Use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food--Has Built, : ' Up Nervous System Wonderfully.
