July, 1918, by the Probate Court of 13 MILLION MEN IS COST OF WAR Figures Stupendous Beyond Pow- er of Human Mind to Compass. MOST. OF THEM ARE KILLED Big Price Being Paid for the World's Future Security — Money Cost Nearly $175,000,000 a Day— Capital Cut Down. By FREDERIC J. HASKIN. (Correspondent of the Chicago News.) Washington, D. C.—The figures re- lating to the cost of this war are stu- pendous beyond the power of the hu- man mind to compass. The number of men killed in battle has been, between 7,500,000 and 8,- 000,000. Offsetting the number of deaths which would have occurred in times of peace, it is safe to set the war loss at more than 7,000,000 men. This is about one man in twenty for each year of the whole number mo- bilized. The figures are large, but they are based on the greatest armies the world has ever seen. Moreover, the death rate has been falling steadily through- out the war, as methods more econom- ical of human life are adopted and hospital efficiency increases, The well-prepared nations lose least. Rus- sia has suffered casualties dispropor- tionately large because in the first year of the war her troops were sent to the front poorly supported by artil- lery and sometimes literally unarmed. On the western front the French losses | were heaviest for the first two years, | but as England takes over the bulk of the fighting her casualties increase and those of France fall off. Total of 5,250,000 Disabled. In addition to the dead, the perma- nently disabled total about 5,250,000 men. Thus the net loss in men amounts to about 13,000,000. There y have probably been about 10,000,000 men less seriously wounded in such a way that they have elther been re- turned to the front or able to pursue some useful occupation in civil life, Some realization of the meaning of & day, In four years of war the indus- trial loss mounts up to $75,000,000,000. There is no disposition on the part of the allies to begrudge the expendi- | ture. It is the highest price that has ever been paid in history for anything but the thing purchased is security for the application of these same forces to peaceful aims in the future. It is literally true that the men and money spent in this war could have trans- formed the earth. They could have established universal sanitation, unt- versal education, eliminated barbar- ism and savagery, reclaimed all the waste lands, established communica- tions by rail and steam with every corner of the globe, and brought the millennium nearer by a long stride At least, the human race has ceased to be awed by the magnitude of any project. In the hell of war, men have learned that no task is too great for them, and that is a thought worth car- rying into times of peace, A WAR PRAYER By James Waterman Wise of the Vigilantes. Father, we beseech thee Guard our boys tonight. Keep, we pray, their footsteps On the paths of right. We have sent them gladly, For the fight is just, Yea, their cause is holy, Glorious their trust. Hold their fates, O Father, In thy wondrous hand, Bring them back, if may be, Back to grace our land. For we loved them dearly But our path was clear; Honor bade us send them, Father, be thou near! But if they must leave us, If it be thy will, Father, we implore thee, Guide and guard them still, PUTS OFF THE UNPATRIOTIC Jitney Driver Will Not Take Fare From Persons Who Talk Against America. Nashville, Mich—German sympa- thizers would sure have a hard time getting about the country if all com- these totals may be gleaned from the reflection that the dead and the total- ly disabled equal more than half the able-bodied men in the United States. The money cost is a vastly more confusing problem. The total is be- | | tion to America while riding with him, mon carriers adopted the rule that Roy Wolfe has put into effect on his | jitney bus. If he hears any one voicing opposi- off he or she goes, to walk the rest of the journey. He has only one arm, the yond all comparison with any nation- al debts, loans or expenditures of the | past. At the beginning of the war the cost of $30,000,000 a day, ‘It was | predicted Europe could not stand It | for six months. Now, well along in | the fourth year, the cost is nearly $175,000,000 a day and there are no signs of a financial breakdown. It has become increasingly evident that lack of “money” will never make | any nation surrender. As long as suf- | ficient economic resources actually ex- Ist in the shape of men and munitions, | food and beasts and iron and steel, so long can the nation in question con- | tinue to make war. In looking for a | German breakdown the eye should turn not toward the absurdly depreci- ated German mark, but toward what Germany has left in men and food and steel. Its Future Mortgaged. This is because a nation can mort- gage its future like a man who entery a shop with empty pockets and pays for goods with signed notes pledging the labor of his children. The world’s debt since the war has increased by $90,000,000,000. The total cost has ex- ceeded this figure by at least $15,000,- 000,000, the difference representing the amount levied in taxes in excess of the interest requirements. It is easy to see that if all the inter- est is paid to people living in the United States, and the principal at the end of the term also paid to resi- dents in the United States, the United States as a nation is no weaker finan- clally for having borrowed $20,000,000,- 000 than if it had never borrowed a cent. Such enormous loans will prob- ably effect a redistribution of wealth, for the interest charges will be met by taxation, and provision made for a sinking fund in the same way. By redistributing this taxation wisely and equitably, the end of the period that the Liberty bonds have to run may well see a more efficient balance of wealth than the present. As in reckoning war strength, the basic realities of the problem are eco- nomic rather than financial. Such part of the great war loans as is in- vested in convertible factories, in increase of food production and simi- lar real assets, cannot be regarded as lost. On the other hand, the dollars that are spent for shells which ex- plode and ships that sink are lost in | fact. World’s Capital Cut Down. Moreover, the cost in dollars is no | measure of the real economic cost of the war, because tt takes no account of the enormous destruction of prop- erty that has taken place. This rep- resents a cutting into the capital of | the world. The sinking of millions of tons of shipping, the destruction of cities, the ravaging of farm lands, the deterioration of industrial equipment in the last three years, are only a few of the items that must be charged to this account. One huge item is the labor of 55,000,000 men who have been taken completely from productive oc- cupations.
