It stands to reason that the costs of the war for Germany and Austria are about the same, which would take for both states, with a mobilised fighting power of somo ten maiken men, daily expenditure of 105,000,000 france. Then the costs of the Belgian, Serbian, Turkish and Japanese armire must be added, which Revenue Fire Branch.. CAL be estimated at the lowest at 10,000,000 francs per diem.
