The Germans are still on the run up to the date of the letter, July 31st.

WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COS" Expenditures That in the Aggregat Amount to Sum Sufficient to "Stagger Humanity." Recently the congress of the Unite States passed, almost without debate the greatest budget in the history c the world, making available for Unci Sam $7,000,000,000 in order to carry o the war on a scale commensurate wit its greatness. It Is interesting, then fore, to compare with this the cost c other wars. The Napoleonic wars which raged over Europe from 1793 t 1815, cost approximately $7,000,00Q,00( or the same amount that congress pre vided for the United States to ente into the conflict, and that was only beginning. The Mexican war cost the Unite States about $100,OCX),000, a compare tively trifling sum. The Civil wai however, was a very expensive affaii entailing the expenditure of $8,000 000,000 from 1S61 to 1SG5. The Francc Prussian war cost the two nations er gaged about $3,500,000,000.
