What the war costs ..$54,000,000 Another estimate by famous French statis tician for four Eu ropean powers .. . 18,000,000 Herr Schaffle, former member Austrian cabinet estimates the cost to France, Rus sia, Austria and Germany: France $5,100,000 Russia 5,600,000 Germany 5,000,000 Austria 2,600,000 A Daily Expenditure of $54,000,000. This is the estimated cost of armed conflict between France, Russia, Ger many and Austria. With England and the Balkan nations included it brings the total to a much higher sum. At the time of the Russo-Japanese conflict there was much discussion of this Europeapn war although na one accepted it seriously at that time. M. Jules Roche, the famous French statistician, however, studied the problem carefully and estimated that a war involving the four nations would cost $400,000,000 the first two months, or $6,000,000 a day each. Most of ti»e conclusoins arrived at by M. Roche were based on figures of expenditures for previous wars. He allowed for the difference in cost, for modern warfare is much more costly even than warfare at the time of the Franco-Prussian wtar. His calculations may be this summarized: $3,200,000. In January, 1871, the actual cost per day to the French treasury, ac cording to the Boreou-Lajanadie of ficial report, was 16,000,000 francs or $3,200,000); this for 600,000 men under arms. The actual cost per day of every man under arms during the entire period of the war was exactly 13 francs, Bft centimes. Into the costs of forage and of keep of horse, which are usually figured at the rate of say one dollar a day for each tiorse, M. Roche did not go. But even h**3m?*t+ *v» msM*?

Hardwick Jackson Phone 3446. 409 Dyer Building. with the figures for the war of 1870- 71 before him, he admitted that it was no easy matter to estimate the financial expenditure of this great war that happens in our times. He continued: “Conditions generally have consid erably changed within the last thirty years, and warfare is now far more expensive. To begin with, the num ber of men under arms in Farnce, on the declaration of war, are far greater than In 1870. France then began by putting 600,000 men into the field; but in this great war in whish B’he is engaged, military organization is such that within forty-eight hours she mob ilized. in round figures, 2,000,000 men and $600,000 horses and mules. The first troops called up were the thir teen ‘clasies’ of active and active reserve troops. “Class.” "Each ‘class’ numbers 160,000 men.

Against the Germans put 2,550,000 men, the Austrians, 1,300,000 men, and Italy 1,200,000 men.” With France, Russia, Germany, Austria and Great Britain at w'ar there are somewhere near 10,000,000 men in the armies alone, not to men tion the navies of the powers nor the armies of Servia, Roumania, Monte negro, Greece and other small nations eitlvßr now involved or likely to be come involved, it can be seen that M. Roche's estimate in reality is a con servative one as applied to the pres ent situation, since M. Roche did not figure on Great Britain or the Balkan nations. The estimate of M. Roche are bas ed on an outlay of $3.12 a day for each man in each army. It may be that M. Roche has far underestimated the cost. Dr. Charles Richet, a sta tistician of the University of Paris, published a very exhaustive calcula tion at the time of the Balkan war in which $54,000,000 was the estimated daily’ expenditures. Dr. Richet esti mates the expenditures as follows, for Germany, England. France. Rus sia, Italy, Austria and Roumania: vored plant growth and. ns a rule the crop is promising.
