idea of the workings of the associa

WAR MEANS BOOM
IN UNITED STATES
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.?The head of
an important banking and brokerage
house says: "I see in the present sit
uation the beginning of a tremendous
boom for the United States. I cannot
conceive how it can mean anything
else. The only danger that threatened
us was a money panic, and prompt
governmental action has made that
impossible. We, the great nation of
the earth, stand with bursting gran
aries, great manufacturing plants, mil
lions of efficient workmen, a plethora
of money and all the rest of the world
goes to work to undo its economic
progress of years.
"There can be but one result. The
world must come to us to fill Its
stomache and clothe Its back, and If
any one can figure disaster for the
United States from that, he must rea
son along a line totally unfamiliar to
me.
"Six months' war In Europe will
mean two or three years prosperity
for us. After that we may expect
the stagnation that always follows de
struction of property and economic
loss. But by that time we should have
profited to an extent that should en
able us to look upon the counterset
of the tide with equanimity."
"IMOGENE."

odor of perfume "Imogene," Including
Imogene toilet water and face pow
der. Something new and distinctly In

COST OF SOME
PREVIOUS WARS
Tho present European wnr calls to
mind tho vast cost of war, both In
lives and money, and serves as a re
minder of tho staggering Immensity
of the sum tho world has spent on
wars since tho beginning of tho eight
eenth century.
Beginning In the United Statos with
the Revolution, thus excluding colonial
wars prior to that time which cost 30,
000 lives, tho United States Bpent $136,
193,703 on this conflict, and lost 30,
000 men. The cost of the war to the
British was $710,000,000.
The War of 1812 cost tho United
States $107,169,003 and 2,000 lives; the
Mexican War cost her $74,000,000 and
2,000 lives; tho Civil War entailed an
expense of $3,7000,000,000, and the
loss of life on both sides approximate
ly 500,000.
Indian wars cost the United States
$1,000,000,000 and 49,000 men, while
the Spanish-American War, the Inst
of American conflicts, excepting the
late unpleasantness in Mexico, in
volved a monetary cost of $165,000,
000; 2,910 lives wore lost, but all but
306 of the deaths were due to dis
ease.
In the Russo-Japanese struggle, Rus
sia lost 388,500 men, and the Japan
ese 167,400. The money cost to Rus
sia was $1,200,000,000, and to Japan
$800,000,000.
The fighting in the Balkan States
was accomplished by expenses which
hit deeply into their coffers. In the
first campnlgn, October, 1912, to May,
1913, the total cost to Bulgaria, Scrvia,
Greece, Montenegro and Turkey was
$940,000,000. The loss of life totalled
228,000.
, In the second campaign, In July last
year, four states were Involved, Bul
garia. Sorvla, Greence and Roumnnla.
Tho cost was $450,000,000, and 120,
000 lives were lost. In these two cam
paigns the loss to Sorvla totalled $260,
000,000, and the little kingdom lost 70,
000 men.
The Boer War took more than $1,
000,000,000 of England's treasury, and
that country's loss In men was 22,
000. The Boers' loss was light,
amounting to only 3,700 dead.
The Franco-Prussian War, bringing
together in deadly conflict two na
tions which have again clashed in
the present European upheaval, France
and Germany, took a tremendous toll of
life and money. The loss of men on
both sides totalled 290,000. Franco
spent $387,800,000 on the struggle, and
Germany spent $382,500,000 above the
usual army Estimate. And this was
brief in duration. It began July 17,
1870, and was ended May 18, 1871. The
cost to the Germans was about $1.25
a day for each man.
Russia nnd Turkey fought in 1878,
and this war cost $100,000,000 nnd 120,
000 lives.
