NUMBER 46 VAST SUMS GO I TO WAR GODS: Cost of European Conflict For Three Belligerents Estimated $100,000,000 a Day. Rise Ex pected WTien Offensive Begins. WashiiHpton, Nov. 14. — Europe’s war is costir>g the belligerents pos- j sibly 100 million—a tenth of a bit-' lion—dollars a day in current oash l .outlay alone. Additional costs in loss-i es of property, arms and commercial» • ) revenue cannot be computed now. _ i The 100 million is neither an of ficial nor exact figure. Jt is merely an estimate made from the bt‘st in- formatiofr available here — and the best is none too good. The estimate may he far too high. On the other hand, war costs may rise even further, if and when wholesale destruction of men, guns, fortifica-j tions and shij>s begins. j However, data from several sources' indicates that Germany, heading the list, may have spent $12,000,000,0001 for war by the end of her fiscal yearj next March; Great Britain, her do minions and colonies, at least $5,- 262,000,000; and France, using a cal endar year fiscal period, at least ^,194,758,000 by the end of 1939. The 100 million-dollar figure was , , , . . computed like this: by the end Clmton high school Re<l j March, Germany and the Britiah em- l^vils will meet the Honea Path. pire supposedly will have sjrervt $17,-* Stingers in what promises to be one! 262,000,000 for a war that began 211'of the ht'st high school tilt.s of the' days earlier on September 2, or ^he contest will be staged on’ 8(10,000 a day.
