The first year of the war has tost tbe belligerent governments a
bout $19,500,000,000 In direct expenditures for military purposes. Ex
perts agree fairly wall on these figures. The 'Berlin Vorwaerts finds the
total $16,676,130,000* the French econofnlst, Eddward Thlery. $17,400,
000,060 and the statistician, William Michaells, of Berlin. 115,240,000,
000.
This Is the expense of putting about 9.000,000 men into the field
for* the central powers, and about 12,000,000 for the allies. N
It does not include, however, the far greater amount lost through
the destruction of towns and villages, the ravaging of tho countryside,
the wrecking of bridges and railroads and the wholesale sinking of
?hips, and the economic loss through (he diminution in productive in
dustry, the killing of the strongest men in the community and th^
