BILLIONS IN W CHEST OF KAISEB Statistician Figures 3.000.000 Men in Field Would Mean $1,625,000,000 Yearly. BERLIN May is. In the Julius Tower at Spandau, near Berlin, lies Germany's "war treasure,’" the $.’10,000.- nnn in jtoki taken from France in 1871 and held ready for immediate use when the day of mobilization comes What a mere bagatelle this is as compared with the enormous costs which the next great war will impose on the participating powers is shown by certain statistics compiled h> Dr. Ott" F'ischer, of the Breslau Schoo! of Technology, who has been making a Kfrsnal study or the subject. On the basis of official figures. Dr. Fischer estimates that for every man it • puts into the field Germany must be prepared to pay on the average $1.50 a day for as long as hostilities last. Sup posing that it mobilizes an army of 3.000,000 men this means an expenditure of approximately $1,625,- 000.000 a year. The rate of expenditure in the initial stages of the war would be, of course, far higher, the first’six w eeks following mobilization involving alone an outlay of $375,000,000. This leaves out of a<- count naval and other governmental expenditures, which are subject Lu in crease in time of war. Escapes An Awful Fate.

Still Open to AIL T he Georgian's $16,000.00 Proverb Contest continues to be open to all and maintains the unprecedented pitch of popularity which it achieved at its very be ginning. It is a most encouraging fact—a fact that eloquently attests tlie charm of the contest—that new contestants, both in and out of Atlanta, are obtaining the back numbers and entering the great $16,000.00 Contest. It has been decided, in order to eliminate any element of chance from the contest, to make it a rule that there shall be ONLY ONE POSSIBLE COR RECT SOLUTION for any one puzzle picture. Each contestant is privileged, by the original conditions of the contest, to submit three complete sets of solutions. If there should be an instance where two proverbs of similar wording and meaning seem to fit a single picture, the contestant may put one of the answers in his or her first set and the other an swer in the second set. All contestants are urgently requested to preserve copies of their solutions. 'This method will save untold labor to the Contest Department after the prizes have been awarded. It sometimes happens that a contestant, after reading the correct solutions in the paper, forgets just what some of his own answers were, and conceives that he has answered more puzzles correctly than he really ha's done. If all in the Proverb Contest will preserve copies of their solutions, they ran check up their own answers with the correct answers that will be printed at the close of the contest, and thus make sure of their exact errors and their cor rect solutions. hi answer to many queries, it is stated that the pictures them selves need not be sent in with the solutions. To use the pictures, however, in any way to add to the attractiveness of the set in com peting for one of the special prizes, is perfectly permissible. There must be no list forms sub mitted. That is. you must not take a Tong sheet of paper ami write your answers on it day by day. one under another. Every answer must be written or printed on a separate piece of paper, or on a single page of a book form. As the contest progresses, the solving of the puzzles becomes more and more fascinating. As the group of solved pictures be- • conies larger, the contestant feels more confidence and greater ea gerness to win. After solving a few puzzles, the contestant comes into the swing of it. and it becomes easier and easier to solve the next puzzle, rr is perfectly feasible for one to get into the swing quickly, oven though he is not a contestant now, by sending for the back numbers of the pictures that have already been published. That is the quickest and one of the best ways of “getting the Proverb habit." You can solve all th<" back numbers in a short time, and then be in fighting trim to win one of our magnificent prizes. Tile beauty of this contest is that every contestant is on an equal footing with any other con testant, and the time of entering makes no difference. The place of residence makes no difference.
