These calculations ware oom piled by the board from various sour ces and while their accuracy is not vouched for, the beard believes the ft curve are substantially correct. For purely military and naval pur poses, it is cat mated that all be 1 lifer ent* had spent shoot 1138,000,000, 000 to May I, or shout three-fourths of the total war cost. The balance represented interoat on dab* and other indirect war expenses. How the coat mounted as the war craw in proportion from year to year ii illustrated by tabulations showing that the mobilisation and the first five mouths of the wur in 1814 cost all belHcervnta about 110,000,000.000 In 1815 the expenses Jumped to 186, 000,000,000; in 1816 they increased to 188,000.000.000 and in 1817 they were estimated at $80,000,000,000, This year, expenses have run only u little above the rate last rear About 1160,000,004,000 of the to tal war coat has boon raised by war loans of various nations and com paratively Hula by taxation. Tbo public debt of the principal entente allies is calculated at approxiamtaly «106.000,400.000 or more than twice as aaach aa the aggreguta debt of tbs Oanteul Paw era, set at MfO« 000. This does net take late ooneid _e ration debt incurred linct am usmnrf comparison with tbo anti war debt of the seven principal belligerenta, which did not exceed $26,000,000,000. The coat of supporting thin debt was only about $1,000,000,004 a year. Here after the annual burden to pay inter at and linking fund allowances will be net leae than $10,000,000,000 and probably much more. PREPARATIONS FOR WILSON’S TRIP ABROAD GOES STEADI .LY ON.
