Owing to improved methods and economies in working, the actual cost per article is lower now than it was at the end of last year: An excess of £01,000,000 was due to Army expendi- ture, and it is particularly gratifying to learn that the major part of this was owing to the casualties being much lower than was allowed for as the result of last year's experience, so that the mum. ber of men with the Colours who have to be provided for is greater than anti- cipated.

THE COST OF THE WAR
IN TREASURE.
Ir is anticipated that before the end of the present financial year Great Britain's daily expenditure, apart from any ad- vances to the Allies, will amount to £8,000,000. The country's revenue is something like £2,000,000 a day, and, therefore, £6,000,000 a day is left to be met out of loans. It is difficult to realise the meaning ef such vast sums, and we have become so familiar with them, on paper, during the past three years that they fail now, even to arrest our atten- tion, much less to kindle our imagination. There is a dangerous tendency not only
to regard the supply as inexhaustiblo but also to forget that we are mortgaging
