lower cut then T. Profes Wolf uitiven n A total of £229 450,000 as the cost of the war per month to all the belligerent States by assuming that anai aggregating 20,500,000; men ara now is the Sale. If we may aliota round 1,000,000 to England and the Empire, and 100,000 to the other Allies undebuted by Professor Wolf, we arrive, combining the fgures, at the total allied strengh of 12,500,000. Deducting there from Pr fensor Welt's grand aggregate of 20,800,000 fighting men of sil nationalities, there would appear to be roundly 8,000,000 soldiers battling for Germany and Austria Hungary, Profesor Wolf intimates that 75. per man per day is a safe average for all the fighting States except England, where it will be a fraction higher because of the larger proportion of her combatants who are to the Nary. He says the peace cost of the German Navy is £1 per man per day

In addition to the gigantic cost of the

war to belligerente, Professor Wolf explains
