Washington, Dae. SI.—It coat the
American people about I IK,160,000.
000 to run its war government and
make loans to the allies in the year
ending today, according to computa
tions from treasury reports.
December expenditures which were
above two billion dollars, the record
of the nation's history, sent aggre
gate costa to date to approxlmataly
I24.b00.000.000.
Of the $1R, 160,000,000 paid out in
1918, probably ten billion dollar*
went lor the army and the general
military establishment, about two
billion dollar* for the navy, a billion
for the shipbuilding program, a bil
lion for other civil government need*
84,150,000,000 as loans to the allies
Although hostilities ceased neatly
two months ago, the government's
outlay each day Is mounting, buesuse
of the liquidation of war contracts,
and treasury officials said indications
are the demands on the government in
the first month of the new year may
be even more than for this month.
With estimates of expenses in the
last few days, not yet actually com
piled, officials believe Dcccrabsr ex
penses will run to 82,100,600,000 or
near 8200.000,000 more than last
month’s high record. This Includes
nearly 8450.000,000 estimated for al
lied loans, and 81,670,000,000 aalima
ted for the government* actual ex
ptnditum.
That tha public has paid only about
one-third of tha war's expenses, exclu
ding foreign loans in tasss, In rash,
and two-thirds as loans to be repaid
in another generation, ia indicated by
treasury figures of coUectiona from
various sources. With the last four
. days of tha yaar not yet tabulated,
receipts from taxes, customs and mis
cellaneous revenue amounted to $4 -
607.068.000, of which 82,949,032,000

8968.000. 000 into the treasury, which
with the exception of $10,000,000

Narrating the trip across the At

it was not one for th* men to be ‘at

France, about 20 miles from Calais,
where the outfit put In "one month

After relating hi* promotion from

“In a way, I have no reason to be

anything that I have had to do and
on two or three occasions I have been

that it was my duty to serve where
