What the War Is Costing. The war is now costing: In direct povernmental expenditure $110,000, 000 a day. $4.5S0,0<w) an hour: $76,000 a minute: and $1,270 a second. The end of the second year of tli o groat war finds the Germans in posses sion of more of Europe than they held on August 1, 1915. the first anniversary of tiie start of the great conflict. This is practically the only respect in which the situation is more favor able to them. Russia, her vast man power jut last organized and furnished with implements of destruction in plenty, is battering the Teuton lines on the east and has already won back 4.5O0 square miles. ? Great Britain boasts five million men in her army and navy. France fights as strongly as ever. Italy is Increasing her formi dabieness. Austria appears to be losing heart and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to send re-enforcements to tho west or Russian fronts. Turkey shows slight offensive power. The British navy, following the much-disputed naval battle of Jutlund. still shuts off Germany from use of the seas. One German merchant sub marine has reached Amejrlca, but the supplies which can be carried over to the besieged nations in U-boats will be of little account. Germany and Austria both feel the : pinch of hunger. Their armies are | sufficiently fed. but their Industrial j Workers complain of lack of nourish- , ment. The present harvest I's watched j with anxiety, and If It falls or Is only of fair size, famine will stalk Into the situation next spring, or earlier. Germany Seeks "Reasonable Peace:" i The German chancellor three tlaies 1 in the relchstag has offered peace to i the entente. On account of this, for midable opposition has arisen to him at home, alt hough he is the kaiser's "other self." His friends are rallying ; to his defense, and on August 1 of the j present year begins the curious coun- j try-wide lecture campaign to prepare the minds of the hitherto docile Ger inau people for a "reasonable peace." Meanwhile, with the sky brightening, the entente allies reaffirm their resolu tion, taken In the dark hours of last winter, never to cease their efforts till Germany Is crushed. The Teutons not only must be beaten in war, according to the allied formula, but roust be re pressed economically for many years after the signing of a treaty of peace. On August 1, 1915, the Germans and Austrians were In the midst of their brilliant campaign against Russia. The "pincers" were closing In IrreslMIbly. That day Lublin, an Important city In southern Poland, fell. # Von Mackensen, with Gallcia con quered, was pressing northward, while on the north side of the Polish salient Von Hlndenburg bore with his host of field-gray warriors.

With their "Little Father" at their head, the Russians forgot their long, discouraging retreat. Millions of new >??uug soldiers Joined thetu. drawn I l oin Russia's groat reservoir of hu j man heinga. which produces three and < a half million men of military age ev cr> year. < >n Septetuher 10 the Russians won a success near Tarnopol and Tromhowlu. and two days later they drove the Teu tons hack 14 miles In Ualicia. In other parts of the front the Germans, were still seizing large slices of territory. 1>UI their enemies were regaining their energy. On September 20 the Rus sians recaptured Lutsk, but wore drlv en out in a abort time. On October 20 they recaptured Czartorysk, but they were not able to prevent the tJertuaus storming Illuxt five. days later. Czar torywk was lost and again .taken by the czar January 8. Meanwhile the conquest of Serbia, the greatest tragedy of the war, ex cepting ouly the massacre of 800,000 Armenians, was being enacted. Invasion of 8erbia. The real Invasion of Serbia started in the first days of October. A groat diplomatic battle had boon fought In Sofia, and the allies bad lost. On Oc tober 7 Bulgaria In an ultimatum to King Peter of Serbia, peremptorily de manded the Immediate cession of the Macedonian ' lands lu dispute between the two countries and then In the pos session of the Serbs. ATter a generul bombardment the Teutons crossed the river boundaries of Serbia In many places on October 8. Two days later they occupied Bel grade. On the thirteenth Bulgaria in vaded her neighbor at three points. 'I he successes of the Teutons and the Bulgarians were almost unbroken. The invading forces consisted of a vast amount of heavy artillery, with small infantry supporting forces. They shelled the Serbians out of position after position in an avalanche of steel to which the Serbians could make no j reply. Small forces of French and English | landed at Saloniki, a Greek port to which' Serbia had certain entry privl I leges, and did something to cover the retreat of the Serbians by engaging the Bulgarians in the South, j At the beginning of winter, Novem ber 22, the Serbian soldiers crossed their western border and struck the trails of the dreary, snow-coVered mountains of the coast. Great num j hers perished of cold and hunger on the way. On November 29 (iermany proudly announced that the Serbian campaign had ended, having met with complete success. Two Blows to the British. The winter also saw the htmdlla i tlon of the British in Mesopotamia. : The Indiun government recklessly | pushed a small, poorly supplied expe , dltlon up the Tigris valley and aetu 1 ally penetrated to within seven miles of Bugdnd. Here the Turks, with Ger I man officers directing them, adminis tered a defeat and the invaders fell back with the enemy harassing tnem to the town of Kut-el-Ainarn, where they were besieged December 10. Another expedition, also insufficient, was sent to relieve the tirst. It was beaten off with large losses a few miles below Kut, a flood of the river and swamps assisting tho Turks, and on April 30 the 12,000 defenders of Kut capitulated by order of the Brit ish higher command. A further British humiliation was the evacuation of Gallipoli peninsula, where the iirltish held on doggedly month after month, losing perhaps 200,000 men, until they were Anally withdrawn in confession of failure the flrst week of January. These two British fiascos were what was needed to arouse the sluggish fighting blood of John Bull. They Anally brought England into the war fully and uncompromisingly, to the same extent as the other great pow ers. ^ (Continued <>n I??i*t Page. ? 130 Years Old.
