13K the bank teller at his window.
IIo Is counting $10 bills, ills cage
is stacked high with bales of ?t0
hills, lie Is counting 100 bills every
minute. He works ton hours 11 day,
seven days a week, lie Is trying to
count the motley spent on the woild
war. But be will nooi never be
able to do It not he, nor his son, nor
son's son, nor many generations to come.
To count out In $10 bills the money spent on
the war would take more than 1,000 years.
Methuselah, who lived to bo 5101) years old,
might have done It by working nights. o othur
mortal could.
It must not he overlooked that Methuselah,
either Jn his own time or ours, would soon have
run out of currency. Tho world does not hae,
and never will hnve, In money of any denomina
tion, tho appalling .sum of '-1,000,000,000. Some
thing like that Is what the world has spent on
the war that !s passing Into history, writes Glou
doh Allvlne In the New York Tribune.
These are figures that outdistance the' compre
hension of the wisest man that ever lived. The
cost of the war transcends all the monetary con
ceptions which even a llniincler tan conjure up.
Nor Is It much easier lo conceive the loll of life
that the war has taken.
Great Britain alone has lost in the war about
1,000,000 men. Franco has lost perhaps 100,000
move. In a general way theo figures mean
something to us, but nn Illustration nuiy help
visualize these allied dead.
Not more than 100,000 persons have marched
in the greatest parade that Fifth avoiiue has
ever known. Our preparedness pnrade, and "pos
sibly the Third Libcity loan parade, totaled that
number of marchers. All day long they marched,
and until after sundown. Wo tlirjiled at the sight
of these living Americans.
Let ug visualize the march of the British dead.
At daybreak they start down Fifth avenue, !0
abreast. Their fallen comrades follow a few puces
behind, In close inarching order. Until sundown
these men who have "gone west" mnrch down tho
avenue. The next dny there is a' similar parade,
and the next, and tho next. For ten days the
British (lend pass In review.
For 11 days more the French- dead file down
tho Avenue of the Allies.' Three weeks of march
ing dead men.
The Russians who died lighting for their empire
that was would require the daylight hours of live
weeks more. And for the oilier brave allied light
ing men we must reserve a fortnight. Two months
and a half for the allied dead to march past u
given point.
The enemy dead, although definite llgurcs are
not available, number about -l.SOO.OCO. For them
to pass in review would require more than six
weeks.
Throughput all tho daylight hours of June, July,
August and September, then, tho ghastly proces
sion would, continue. It is an appalling picture to
contemplate.
As preliminary punishment for the fugitive
kaiser, for whom so many horrible fates hevo
been suggested, tbaro may be torture available
here. For him to stnnd" at attention throughout
four hot summer months, while the ghosts of
those be sent to death pass In constant review
surely, that might Inflict mental agony enough to
appease the most vindictive.
Historians will dually agree that $221,000,000,
000 or some such ligurc was spent by the na
tions Involved. They will eventually plnce tho
toll of dead at 11,000,000 orCthereabout, They
may decide that shipping was' lestroved to the
value of ;?2,000,000,()00. But never, in computing
the cost of tho wnr, will they bo able to estimate
accurately these indirect losses:
Physical suffering.
Increased illness.
Increased death rate.'
Lowered race vitality. l ,
Decreased birth rate.
Curtailed education.
Moral degradation. -1
Property destroyed. - ' '
Crops and trees devastated. ;
Cargoes sunk.
Property damaged by Idleness.
Industry crippled by diversion ofinen.
Production diverted from' creative to destructive
purposes.
Business development checked. '
Inflation of currency mid Increased prices.
Or these indirect losses to tho Invaded territory
which has been redeemed by the allied armies,
Andre Tardleu, French high commissioner to tho
United Slates, says:
"The territories which Iiae been under Gorman
occupation for four years' were the wealthiest
part of France. Their area did not ox cocci 0 per
cent of the whole country. They paid, however. 25
per cent of the sum total of our luxes. These
territories, which bine been occupied again by hB
at the cost of our own blood and the blood of our
allies, are 'now In a state of uiln even worse than
we had anticipated. The very ground Is torn,
overturned, laid waste, dainnged with shell splin
ters, and for months, mnibe for years, unlit fot
production. The fruit trees have been cut, sawed
down to the level of the ground.
"Of tho cities and villages nothing remains but

lug proper, without furnishings (500,000,000 days
of woik will be necessary, Involving, together with
building material, an outlay of 10,000.000,000'
francs.
"As regards personal property of every descrip
tion, either destroyed by battle or stolen by tho
Germans,, there stands an additional loss of nt
least 4,000,000,000 francs. This valuation of lost
personal property does not Include as definite
figures are lacking as yet tho countless war con
tributions and lines by the enemy, amounting also
to billions.
"I need luwclly say that, in those wealthy ,lands,
no agricultural resources are left. The losses Jn
horses and In cattle1, bovine and bolne species,
bogs, goats amount to lr 10,000 head In agricul
tural equipment to 'irJ-1,000 machines or carts the
two Items worth together 0,000,000,000 francs.
"Now iiH regards industries, the disaster Is even
more complete. These districts occupied by the
Germans and whose machinery has been method
ically destroyed or taken nway by the enemy,
were, Industrially speaking, tho very heart of
France. They were the very backbone of our
production, as shown In the following Btarlllug
figures:
"In 1013 the wool output of our imnded regions
amounted to 01 per cent of the total French pro
duction. And corresponding figures were: For
llax from the spinning mills. 00 per cent ; Iron ore,
00 per cent ; pig Iron, S3 per cent ; steel, 70 per
cent; sugur, 70 per cent; cotton, (50 per cent; coal,
!." per cent; electric power, -15 per cent. Of all
that, plants, machinery, mines, nothing Is left.
Everything has been can led away or destroyed
by the enemy. So complete Is the destiuct'ion
that, in the case of our great coal mines in the
north, two years of work will be needed bororu a
single ton of coal can be extracted, and ten yea is
before the output Is back to the figures of 101,3.
"All that must be rebuilt, and to carry out tliat
kind of reconstruction only there will he a need
of over 2,000,000 tons of pig Iron, nearly .1.000,000
tons of steel not to mention the replenishing of
stocks and of raw mateilnls which must of imces
sity be supplied to the plants during the first ear

"To resurrect tbeso regions, to reconstruct theso
factories, raw materials alono aro not .sullielent ;
we need means of transportation. Now the enemy
has destroyed our railroad tracks and railroad
track equipment. Our rolling stock, which In tha
first month of the war, In 1014, was reduced by
fiO.000 cars, has undergone tho wear and tear ol
."() mouths of war.
"Our merchant fleet, on the other bund, has lost
more than a million terns through the .suhmnrlnu
warfare. Our "hlpyurds during the last four
years have not built any ships. For they have
produced for us and for our allies cannon, nmmu
nltlon and tanks. Here, again, for this Item
alone of menus of transportation we must flgur
on an expense of 2,500.000,000 francs. This makes,
If I mini up these different items, a need of raw
material which represents In cost, at the present
rate of prices in Frnnce, not less than fi0,000,000,
000 francs.
"And this formidable figure docs not cover
everything. I hnvo not taken Into account the
loss represented for tho future production of
France by the transformation of so many fac
tories which for four yeais were exclusively de
voted to war munitions. I hnvo not taken Into
account foielgn markets lost to us as n result
of the destruction of on quarter ot our productive)
capital and the almost total collapse of our trade.
1 have not taken Into account the economic weak
ening that we shall suitor tomorrow owing to tho
loss or 3,000,000 young and vigorous men."
Compared to these, Ihe losses nccrulng to tho
United States as a result of the war are. of com so,
slialit. America hns scarcely been "bloodied." It
is true that the wnr may coat the United States
possibly fiO.OOO lives every one u precious offer
ing to freedom but several times as ninny Amer
icans have died at homo during the recent Infill
ona epidemic.
When wo consider tho number of Americans
who died In our Civil war, our present losses
seem almost trivial. Tho deaths from all causes
In tho Civil war totaled 018,52s about ID times
as many lives as tho world war cost tho United
States. Those killed In iicllon on tho Union nldov
