COSTS OF THREE YEARS IN TRE
GREAT WAR
It has been estimated that thus
faT in the World War, the money
cost of all the powers, exclusive of
the United States, has been $107,
600,000,000, and America is al
ready counting on our own cost of
8. single year of over ($20,000,
000,000) twenty billion dollars, the
burden of which our citizens are al
ready beginning to feel.
•These figures are based on Ger
many's 1913 reports. They will
probably be larger for some years
after peace is declared.
