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."

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 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.

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.
