WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
Expenditures That In the Aggregate
Amount to Sum Sufficient to
"Stagger Humanity."
Recently the congress of the United
States passed, almost without debate,
the greatest budget In the history of
the world, making available for Uncle
Sam $7,000,000,000 In order to carry on
the war on a scale commensurate with
Its greatness. It Is Interesting, there
fore, to compare with this the cost of
other wars. The Napoleonic wars, i
which raged over Europe from 1793 to
1S15, cost approximately $7,000,000,000,
or the same amount that congress pro
vided for the United States to enter
Into the conflict, and that was only a
beginning.
The Mexican war cost the United
States about $100,000,000, a compara
tively trifling sum. The Civil war,
however, was a very expensive affair,
entailing the expenditure of $8,000,
000,000 from 1S61 to 1885. The Franco
Prussian war cost the two nations en
gaged about $3,500,000,000. The second
South African war, from 1600 to 1902,
cost $1,500,000,000, the conflict between
Russia and Japan consumed almost
$4,000,000,000, while the United States
got off very_ cheaply In the Spanish
American war with an expenditure of
$175,000,000. The estimates on the out
lay for the present war up to October
1 of this year were $98,814,875,000.—

Warship Repair*. I
Over and above the great activity !
of the British yards In building new
warships, particularly destroyers, and |
the construction of merchant ships, an |
enormous amount of time and labor
has to be devoted to repairs. In a re
cent speech Sir Eric Geddes said:
"During one month the number of war
vessels which needed repairs was
nearly 1,000—that is. In addition to the
1,100 merchant ships—and that was by
no means an abnormal month. Since
the beginning of the war 31,000 war
vessels. Including patrol craft and
mine sweepers, have been docked or
placed on the ways, and these figures
do not Include repair work done to the
vessels of our allies."
Add to this the arming of the vast
fleet of British merchant vessels, and
we have some conception of the enor
mous task of shipbuilding, equipping
and repairing carried on by the British
admiralty.
Tractors for Cultivation of Rice.
The French government of Cochin
China has become interested in the
employment of caterpillar tractors for
the cultivation of rice. On September
29, 1917, a 45 horse power track ma
chine valued at more than $5,900 Unit
ed States currency, was purchased tele
graphically. If the experiment is suc
cessful, larger orders will follow. Ev
erything depends upon whether the
tractor can operate In the soft rice-pad
dy fields of Cochin China.
Tokyo Grows In Importance.
The prosperity of Greater Tokyo
city Is shown by the Increased taxes
over last year, the average being 87
per cent. In the eight tax-collection
districts the total exceeds 99,000,000
yen ($48,600,000); the rates of In
crease vary from 9% per cent In the
Yotsuya district to 50 per cent In the
Ryogoku and 72 per cent In the Yeital
districts, where the offices and resi
dences of the narlkln are located.

WOULD HANG ON TO QUARTER
Negro Was Determined to Have Some
thing by Which He Could Remem
ber Prealdent'e Gift.
It occurred when Mr. Taft was pres
ident. He was In Augusta, Ga., and a
barbecue was to be given in his honor
at Mr. C. S. Bohler's country place.
Mr. Taft was expected to be on hand
at a certain hour. The roads were
misleading, and fearing to be late he
bade the chauffeur stop and Inquire
directions of an old negro man who
trudged ulong. "Can you tell me where
Mr. Bohler's place is?" asked the
president
"Yes, sir, I kin, cayse I works dar
myself." The way as pointed oMt was
somewhat vague, so Mr. Taft told the
old man to Jump In by the side of the
chauffeur and act as guide. Upon ar
riving at Mr. Bohler's home, Mr.
Taft gave the old man a 50-cent piece.
Mr. Bohler, afterward hearing of the
Incident, called the recipient, saying:
"Uncle Tom, I hear the president
gave you fifty cents. You ought to
prize that and keep It always as a sou
I venlr."
"I sho will do dat," the old negro
replied.
A few weeks later Mr. Bohler In
quired of Uncle Tom If he still had
the 50 cents.
"I tell you how It was, boss," an
swered the old negro. "I got In a tight
place and I had to git dat money
changed. I spent one quarter, but I'm
a gwine to keep dat udder quarter sho
as I live."
