je United States Has Spent
$7,000,000,000 During
the Ten Months
EXPENDITURES BELOW
OFFICIAL ESTIMATE
The Coast is Increasing Of
Huge Sum Spent, Over
Four Billions Represents
Loans to Allies
Wsihngton, Feb. J. Ten months of
var have cost the United States about
j7 000 000.000 at the rate of $710,000,
000 a month, nearly $24,000,000 a -day.
More than half of this huge sum, or
Si 11 000,000, has been paid as loans
to' the Allies and the balance, about
$3 000,000,000 represents America's
rmtlay for its own war purposes, ex
ctaJve of more than $600,000,000 for
ordinary governmental expenses;
The war's toll in money is increas
ing at the rate of more than $100,
000,000 a month, and indications now
are' that the two remaining months, of
the nation's first year as a -belligerent
will run its war bill to nearly $10,
000,000,000 which $5,000,000,000 will be
for" Allied loans and about the same
amount for the army, navy," Shipping
board, and other war agencies.
These figures computed 'Aoday from
the latest available treasury figures
show that although the country's : ex
penditures are running ittto, -totals
before dreamed oft tfcey are be
low official estimates made early- fart
thrt xrsr Since war was deelarfca
Anriltf. and the fiscal yea fbr w
estimates were made did . not begin
until July 1, it is difficult ;jto conftare
precisely the actual war cost wittytbe
fiscal year estimates. Most of the waf
expenses have been Incurred since
July 1, however, and the total outlay
since then has been $6,500,000,000 in a
little more than seven months, as
compared with an estimate of $18,?
431,000,000 for the entire year.
Two factors are held mainly respon
sible for this difference. Officials of
the War, Navy and other departments
figuerd liberally on their expenditures
originally to allow a margin of finan
cial safety. In addition, production
of ships and war supplies has failed
to develop as had been planned. Of
ficials point also that as big contracts
for ships and army material fall due
IT
in the next few months the expendi-J
tures may run up faster than is an
ticipated even now.
Government borrowing on the two
Liberty loans have paid; for four
fifht3 of the war's cost, and 'taxation
ani a few minor ordinary government
receipts for about one-fifth.
The loan campaigns produced $5,
792,000,000 and $1,250,000,000 came di
rect from the pockets of the people
and will not have to be repaid. Finan
cial demands of the war in the next
few months will be met in the same
way by another bond issue, and y
texes which will begin soon to roll
in from the first war tax act.
How America gradually got into her
stride in the war is graphically shown
iy the monthly outpouring of fund3
since the day Congress authorized a
declaration of war 10 months' ago to
morrow. Before last April, the month
ly operating expenses were about
o.OOO.OOO and the total annual ex
penses, including $300,000,000 postal
expenditures which were paid back in-
0 the treasury eventually reached on
a little more than $1,000,000,000.
en came the war. In the first
month, May. 1917, expenses jumped
rl .4'000-000 in June to $134,000,
m July to S2n8nnonnn- in .An.

Washington, Feb. 5. American
troops may appear in British trenches
on the Flanders front asa result of
studies now being made both here and
in Europe.
If 'the project suggested is carried

The suggestion came irom British
qffidals through General Fersfaingv tt
is still under consideration at the
War Department; but' final action
probably rests on recommendations of
Genera Bliss, who is considering it
also in conference with the Supreme
War Council.
The plan is a, development of the
proposal made at. the time of the first
meeting of the war council that Am
erican troops might be sent to Eng
land for training, releasing British
forces there for front line duty. The
object sought" is to hasten the expan
sion of the American army in France.
By the use of British shipping, train
ing camps and supply lines, it has
been urged .that General Pershing's
forces could be supplemented with
out a proportion increase in the de
mand upon shipping.
, Details of the plan are not available
for publication. It is known, howev
er, to have, encountered numerous
practical objections here which oc
curred to General Pershing in for
warding the suggestion. - In its orig
inal form the plan contemplates the
training of 150 infantry battalions of
1,000 men each through British facil
ities. ' ' '

OLD MANAGEMENTS
TRY TO- DIS
Lee Says Men Are Not Per
mitted to Operate Trams
Properly
WANT, GOVERNMENT
OPERATION TO FAIL
Head of Railway Trainmen
Makes jSerious Charges..
Against Management,
at Hearing
: WashingtnFb. . :J5. Traffic con-
today! , at ' the railroad" wage 'hearing
by union leaders who said the man
agements desired to discredit the
operation of the 8-hour law and more
lately to make government operation
of the roads a failure.
W. G. Lee, president of the Rail
way Trainmen, said he had evidence
that veteran railroad men were re
placed by inexperienced employes at
important gateways, that engines
had been allowed to freeze up over
night and that train crews had been
called out and kept waiting until the
16 hour law overtook them before
being sent out of the terminal.
"Asked by Chairman Lane, of the
railroad wage commission, who was
responsible for these things", Mr. Lee
said he believed he could trace it
back to about four banks in New
York city, which control railroad
financing, if he wished to seek the
real cause.
Charges that the railway manage
ments are attempting to discredit gov
ernment operation of railroads were
made . by W. G. Lee today, head of
tne railway trainmen, at tne railway
.Tw;
age hearing.
. "I have facts to prove that experi
enced railroad men are not permitted
to operate as their training dictates,"
"The ybld managements do not want
government operation made a suc
cess," said Lee. "Do you think the
public will let the roads go back to
the old system if government man
agement proves efficient? That's why
I want to see the government, make a
success of operating the railroads."
Mr. Lee's remarks were made in the
course. of a spirited discussionpreci-
pitated: by the presence; of' several
representatives of railway manage
ments in the room.
A. B.. Garretson, head of r the Rail
way ''Conductors, charged- their pres
ence was in controvention of the un
derstanding with Director General Mc
Adoo, that the hearing was -to be ex-parte.---
. ' c , -
. (Qommissioner Covington . said ' the
railway officers 'were, there by invita
tion ofe Wage Commission to sup
plemienCot antagonize, the informa
tion, presented by the employes.
I' "You will pardon my heing suspici
ous," Mr: Lee said, "but I have been
dealing with those gentlemen for half
a century." .
"We do not pretend to take the
position of - discussing matters with
our former employes," said Garret
son. "We dorit intend to deal with
a second set of employers and hav
ing comehere to put all the cards on
the table, we don't intend to disarm
ourselves."
Mr. -Lee -said .the demands - for in
creased wages, were asked - solely be
cause of increased cost of living.
More than 5,000' members of the
-Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
are with the colors and the organiza
tion is keeping up their insurance

CONGLOMERATION OF

New York Senator Pleads for

Preparations
Washington, Feb. 5. America's
war-making machinery was pictured
as a conglomeration of ambitious
and scattered agencies,' incapable of
team work, in. an address in the Sen
ate today, by.-Senator - Wardsworth, a
Republican -'member of the Military
Affairs Committee.
The speech; renewed the debate
over ' war 'efficiency " which occupied
the Senate .an, day . yesterday, after

Without- detailing : avmy conditions
revealed, by the Military !ommlttee's
war inquiry with which he said the
country is now fairly , familiar, Sen-
atbr Wadsworth confined -himself
largely to an argument for theVpro
posed legislation for centralization of
war-making agencies. President Wil
son cannot coordinate these agencies,
he said, and with a long war in pros
pect radical steps to unify the na
tion's -efforts are necessary.'
That great things have been done,
cannot be denied, he declared. That
other great things have been left un
done must.be admitted. Credit for
the things accomplished can-be as
signed to several; individuals.' . The
blame for shortcomings ! ought not to
be laid upon any individual. . Criti
cism should be tlirected against cur
system or rather the lack ptf cohesive
system." - ! ' :." ".. ;'.
Referring to the committee's. , . war
inquiry, Senator Wadswprj. said ; It
had covered only a p " of -the
ground and that to inresttgiate - all
army activities , which oigit -Justify
Inquiry would not permit the eojnxnitr

Wadsworth declared, testified; in. .the
same direction -"proper; centralijar
tion of authority establishedU'. prefer
ably by statute whose declslouB'vmay
be promptly reached and; accepted as
finaiv ' ; f v;.
Lack of preparedness before the
war, the Senator "said, is coating
"many many lives and millions of
dollars," besides prolonging the war.
Illustrating his argument rom a
large Chart . hung on the Senate wall
with Secretary Baker's reorganiza
tion plan and' that of . the committee
shown together Senator Wadsworth
called attention to ther existing vastf
aumher of official, semi-official and
pirely advisory - agencies, bureaus
and other bodies which, :hjs asserted,
are not ..coordinated , consulting or

" On the railroads, the Senator de?
dared, goods vwith blue tagged prior
