MORALE OF SOLDIERS IN CAMPS IN
AMERICA WEAKENED BY PEACE
Washington, Nov. 15.—Cessation of
Hostilities has brought an immediate
loss of morale among American troops
at home which is regarded at the war
department as somewhat alarming. It
is understood steps to deal with the
situation already are being prepared.
Repors fro mlal divisions on Novem
her 11, the date of the signing of the
armistice, without exception contained
glowing' references to the high spirit
of the men and to their evident desire
for early embarkation. I’pon news
that tlie armistice had been signed the
individual soldier, instead of bombard
ing his immediate superiors with
querie as to the probable date of en
training for the seaboard, became
anxious as to the date of his release
from service.
More serious are reports by some
commanding officers that their men
me exhibiting a tendency to view
themselves as already released from
ihe strict'routine of the camps. Hun
dreds of cases are listed of men who,
having been granted the usual 86-hour
week-end leave, failed to return to
camp o ntime. These men automatic
ally are charged with being ‘absent
without leave.’ Regulations prescribe
capital punishment in flagrant cases,
hut the custom has been to inflict, at
most, only heavy prison terms.
The whole question of how' the mor
ale of recently inducted soldiers can
he ltt pt up is considered one requir
ing serious attention. It is under
stood the first step will he to ask re
latives of soldiers who have absented
themselves to assist the authorities in
having them returned promptly to
spare he families the disgrace of hav
ing an armed guard sent, and with g
view to mitigating the punishment of
•bo offender.

WE’VE SEEN 'M TOO, BUT
THIS MAN HAS US BEAT
New York, Nov. 16.—Distinguished
ichthyologists and herpetologists met
here today to hear about the largest
lizard ever discovered. The enormous
lacertile reptile was found in the
wilds of Borneo, by H. C. Raven of the
American Museum of Natural History.
Mr. Raven was amazed, he told the
scientists, when he met the gigantic
lizard in the Jungle. He did not be
lieve it was possible at first, but de
finitely established (hat he had not
been deceived by a mirage.
This lizard, officially described aa a
fiesh-ating monster, was larger than
any reptile of its species ever before
fncounted, measuring sixteen feet
from nose to tail, and built In porpor-
tion. Herpetologists have found frag
ments of what they took to be pre-his-
torlc lizards of enormous size, but
ihe largest one ever seen alive, until
Mr. P.aven found his In oBrneo, was
only ten feet, eight inches long.

THAT CHANGE IN
WOMAN’S LIFE
Mrs. Godden Tells How It
May be Passed in Safety
and Comfort.
Washington, Nov 18.—The direct
cost of tlie war for all belligerent na
tions to last May 1, was repotted' at
about $175000,000,000 by the Federal
ReserveMloard bulletin, issued today,
and it is estimated that the cost will
amount to nearly $200,000,000,000 be
fore he end of this year. These cal
culations were complied by the board
from various siources and while, their
accuracy is not vouched for, the board
believes the figures are substantially
correct. .>
For purely military and naval pur
poses is Is estimated 1 that all belliger
ents had about $132,000,000,000 to May
1, or about three fourths of the total
war cost. The balance represented
interest on the debf, and other indirect
war expenses.
How the cost amount as the war
rew in proportaion from year to year
is illuserated by tabulations showing
that the mobilipation and the fist five
months of the war in 19l4 cost all
belligerents about $10,000,000,000. In
1915 the expenses jumped to $26,000,-
000,000; in 1016 they increased to $38,-
000,000,000 and in 1917 were estimated
at $60,000,000,000. This year expen
ses have run only a little above the
rate last year. *■
Raised Mostly By Loans.
About $150,000,000,000 of the total
war cost has been raised by war loans
of various nations and 1 comparatively
little by taxation. The public debt
of the principal Entete Allies is calcul
ated at approximately $105,000,000,000,
or more than twice as much as the ag
gregate debt of the Central Powers, set
at $45,000,000,000. This does not take
into consideration debt tncurred since
last May.
The enormous size of the war costs
and debt is illustrated by comparison
with the ante war debt of the seven
principal belligerents, which did not
exceed 1 $25,009,000,000. The cost of
supporting this debt was only about
$1,000,000,o()0 a year. Hereafter the
