THE COST OF WARS. "The money cost of the European war up to this time has been greater thai that of any former war. and be fore it is over the figures will be startling indeed," said an old citizen. "Our civil war 186 to 1865 cost in round figures-, according to govern ment com- Ration, $5,000,000,000. We have been in the habit of referring to that bloody strife as the most expen sive in history, but the war between England and France . from : 1793 to 1815, cost $6,250,000,000. A total of 3,000,000 men were engaged in that war. In the war between the north and south the civil war 2,041,600 men were engaged on the Union side and 750,000 on the Confederate side.. "The cost of the Franco-German war was about $2,500,000,000, and the cost of the Spanish-American war was $1,650,000,000. What a terrible waste May the day corcfe when all disputes between nations will be settled by arbitration.' CBEECHpBAXTER.

GERMANS ATTEMPT DE STRUCTION OF BRIDGE Escape of Werner Van Horn to Amer. I lean Side Involves U. S Arrest-' ! ed, But Declares His Act One of War. Vanceboro, Me., Feb. 29. Another international problem, incident to the war, was thrust upon theTjnited States today by the action of Werner Van Horn, who, operating on the Canadian side of the border, dynamited the rail way bridge over the St. Croix river, and then escaped into Maine. A few hour3 later, in a room at a hotel here, Van Hern submitted to ar rest, but immediately proclaimed him self an officer of the German army, and set up the claim that he committed an act of war, and, having fled to a neu tral country, could not be surrenderd legally to an enemy of the Fatherland. The Canadian authorities took a dif ferent view of the matter, and imme diately instituted proceedings to ex tradite the prisoner on a charge of destruction of railroad property. Pend ing the outcome of these efforts, Van Horn is held at the immigration office her?, in custody of "a deputy sheriff. The bridge which Van Horn sought to destroy was not greatly damaged. Within a few hours cars were shunted across, one at a time, '-the passengers walking over on the ice. By morning railroad officials said the bridge w'ould be j strong enough for trains to use it without uncoupling. Attorney General William R. Patan gall tonight ordered that Van Horn be held until furthers orders. While there was no formal charge preferred against him at first arrange ments were made to have a warrant issued if necessary, in order to make certain, his detention. Van Horn,; the officials state, could be ' charged with damage to a railroad bridge, which is an extraditable of fense or with damage to property on the American side of the border where windows were broken by the explo sion.1 . . When Van Horn was searched the police claim to have found upon him a drawing cf the bridge. THE PRICE OF COTTON (Charles Vezin in the New York Jour- i ' .' nal of Commerce). Cotton is entirely too low and can not remain so. There is one aspect of the situation which may have escaped the consideration of some cotton mer chants. Wheat, oats, corn, meat, wool and many other commodities have been orced up by the urgent foreign de mand and by the decreased foreign production incidental to the war. In short, there has been another violent advance in the "cost of living", and that means another decrease in the purchasing power of money (that is, gold). ' . ' It is true that the purchasing power of j gold has increased measured by real estate, bond3, stocks, etc., but so far as the average individual goes the cost of living is up. " ; The price of cotton is measured by this enhanced price of wheat, meat, etc. that is, by the standard of the relatively depressed value of gold, and therefore 8-cent cotton does not mean the same as it would have a year ago. I have not made a careful compari son, but measured by other standards than gold I think it safe to say that cotton is today cheaper than at any time since ti became a staple, cheaper than when it was around 5 cents many years ago, and this disproportion is sure to be adjusted in the near fu ture. ' : ';':. ' " ' Eight-cent cotton measured by a cent of low purchasing power is cheap com pared: witn 5-cent cotton measured oyj the cent which aNiouble the present purchasing power. The cent by which cotton is measured today ha3 lost in purchasing power, not only in the last 15 or 20 years, but especially so in the last five months. , JUST FOB FUN.

The fact that the child of to day is the man or woman of tomorrw has been. so impressed on the minds of people that the home, the church and the state are doing all in their power to develop the child. They hap pily realize that the little man and the little woman are not the ideal children but the real boy and girl with the taste and tendencies of yputh. To utilize these attributes of the child, the imagination, the love of adventure and other characteristics is important in the development of the full grown man or woman. . This spirit is shown pat ticularly in the children's books of today. Probably the finest books placed' on the market are the books fjr tlie'ch'iidren. They contain almost e erythir.g to delight and inhtruct and will doubtless mean much to the man hood oT the next generation. We placed on the shelves of the City; Library Tuesday night the beau tiful teaks named in the folio-'- ing list. The;e bocks are the gift of Mrs. Sol Weil to the 'children of Goldsboro.

Following Arguments by Half a Dozen Prominent Women, Both Commit, tees Vote to Report Bills Un favorably. Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 2. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the Na tional Woman Suffrage Association, today addressed a joint meeting of committees of the General Assembly in behalf of woman suffrage bills now before that body.. Many suffrage ad vocates and members of the Assembly attended. Nevertheless the woman's suffrage bills get unfavorable reports in both the Senate .and the Houe by; the leg islative comiTiittee- T v . a the Hobgood Lill in the Stua:e ;-! i .e Roberts (of BuncomLei hMI i?i the House. The joint heaiing oZ those bills was held this aftsrnon before a brilliant assemblage of 'women that many suspected would surely wrest from the joint committee at least fav orable reports for their bills. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, head of the Woman's Suffrage movement for the Nation; Mrs. Archibald Henderson, of Chapel Hill, head cf the movement for North Carolina; Mrs. Eugene Riley, of CLarlotte, president of the North Car cliiia Federation of Womens Cluisj Mrs. Gocdno, of Raleigh, president of Womarls- Christian Te-npera-nc'e Union, Mr. Al. Fair brother,-Greensboro, were heard in the-'' most stirring appeals and argument i or their cause and then the coiiiniktou-v retired to committee roori and -ve'e-i .r.v 'avcrable reports for the bills. The Senate-- co-r .iittee on election ians voted 4 to 3 ' unfavorable re i.ort and the House cemmittee on con stitution?! anpndments 6 to 3 for un favorable "-report. Notice was given on both: cemmitt es that there would be iiirortty favorable iteports to give the tills a footing for f ghts on the floors in both ...houses.- Lieutenant Governor rjaughtridge remarked when he heard Is that this means about three days r ' argument in the Senate and as much cr more time consumed in the House.
