Parle.?Paul I^eroy-Beanlien, the economist. estlmater'that each of the greater belligerents is spending an av erage equivalent to 1200,000,000 month ly. In presenting these figures to the Academy of Moral and Political Sci ences he said that he considered it probable that tfee war would continue seven months from August 1. ' Accordingly the five greater powers engaged were committed to an expen diture of $7,000,000,000. Each of the smaller states, lficludlng Japan, will have expenses of $600,000,000 to $800, 000,000 to meet M. Leroy-Beaulieu continued: "One might say that the war wW cost the fighting powers roughly Wr 000,000,000 to $10,(KK),000,000". "These figures, which do not take Into accouht the lqsses of revenues during hostilities, will be met. first, by the issuance of notds agffinst the accumulated gold in the government banks; seeond, by the Issuance of short term treasury bonds to which -all governments ire having recourse during the war, and third, by delaying payments for military necessities. "The larger part of the savings of the world will be absorbed by the tak ing up of national loans and economic progress will be seriously Checked."

An official ot one of the blgl Insurance companies here said: ' "A cumber of large Insurance com panies hare decided to write no pol icies against damages by bombs.

LATE STATE CAPITOL NEWS Rsvltw HI tkltilMl Nvws Gathered Around tho SUto Cipltol That Will Be ef Interest to Our Readers Over .North Carolina. . Raleigh. One of the blscoat problems now confronting the Corporation Commis sion in connection with the applica tion of the new freight rwtee la ad justing the ^application of the rates to stations between fixed distances. The old- rule was that seven miles, for Instance, would take the five-mile rate, 12 tulles the 10-mUe rate, ai)d 20 miles the 25-mUe rste, but the new schedule makes the milage over Eve and up to 10 miles take the 10-mfle rates and over 10 to 16 utiles the 15 mtle rate, and so on all the way to 10S miles so the mileage between the 06 miles and 100 miles, tor Instance takes the 100-mile rate when the old corporation rule .was to take the 95 mlle rata This change of base la found to mean a material Increase In the freight rate* In many shipping points.' The Corporation Commission is seeking to Induce the rellroed authori ties to agree to the substitution of the old rule, but has gotten no actual con cession aa yet. ' Another material increase In smell shipment rates Is made by the fifth general rule of the Rate Commission Which makes minimum small ship ments'not lees than 26 cents for haul on one road, 30 cents for . two roads and 40 cents over three or more roads. On the other hand, the old Corpora tion Commission rule was 15 cents minimum charge with corresponding reductions for joint hauls. On all these matters Roods of com plaints are pouring In to the Corpora' tlon Commission urging relief. A fruit ful source of disturbance, too, la the Justice Act requirement thet all ship ments must take the shortest route to destination, this forcing sblpmens In numerous Instances to go by three or more different roads when under the old. s yet em of long-haul competi tion the roed receiving the shipment could deliver and save serious delay aow suffered. tl Count let Aro Represented. Ninety-one of the 100 North Caro lina counties enlist students In the State Unlvereity. The nine counties unrepresented are situated either In the ectreme easterly or westerly por tions of the state; namely: Bladen, Camden, Clay, Currituck, Dare, Gra ham, Polk. Swain and Transylvania.

Dughi and George White of Raleigh. The initial meeting Is to be called for Raleigh at a nearly date. Old Poplar TroTls Failing. At the meeting of the executive committee of the trustees of the Uni versity of North, Carolina a few days ago there was an Interesting reference to the famous old poplar tree on the campus known aa the Etovla Poplar. The massive tree le falling rapidly and oan tost only a few more years at beet. Directlona were given that steps be token to start the growth of a young poplar to take Its place, care being token to lnsnre that the new one Is an offsping of the one now In Its dotage. _ Educational Organisations to Merge. J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has returned from Atlanta, where he attended a Joint meeting of the executive com mittees of Conference of Education and the Sooth and Southern Educa tional Association, he being president of both organisations. He says the arrangements are all made for the merger of the two organisations and tHe formal merger will be accomplish ed at the next annual meeting In the spring. ' The time and the plaoe tor the next meeting are not yet settled. Favors Constitutional Amendments. Judge J. C. Prltehtrd wrote Chair man J. W. Bailey of the Constitutional Amendment Committee that he le convinced that the amendments are In line with the progress the state Is making and that he wilt take pleas ura In voting tor them all. Mr. gall ey also received strong endorsement from A. W. Graham of Oxford, in which he argues especially for the taxation amendment and Insists thai the present system Is radically wroni and under the profttNcd'arnhndmeol no tax-payer can be Injured.

P. Thorn, for the Southern and ether railroads In terested, declared that the railroad companies hare no desire to with draw the eximtng special commodity rates In question exeept from the viewpoint that to apply tham with the Justice act in force will have the ef fect of compelling reduction of rates on lines where these commodity rates mediate points. Chairman Travis also stated Infor mally to the railroad officials that tha commissi >n expects to later give a hearing in the matter of adjusting the basis of short-haul ratep from five to JO miles as treated by the tariff of ratee adopted by the Rate Commis sion since this has the effect of mak ing shippers having freight moved over five miles and leas than 10, for Instance, pay the 10-mlle rate Instead of the live-mile rate ae tat the past, with similar Increases In over 10 and leaa than IB and over IB and lees than JO miles. There ie no Indication ae to when this hearing will take place. Indeed, It may be settled In an informal way without special bearing. The arguments tor the railroad companies were by George B- Elliott of the Atlantic Coast Line, James Wright of the Seaboard Air . Line. Col. W. B. Rodman of tha Norfolk Southern and Col. A. P. Thorn of the Southern. Also former Governor Kttchln, presented argument as the special representative of a number of concerns Interested In retention of the special commodity rates not ably the Mount Airy Granite Com pany.
