UNTOLD BILLIONS COST OF BIG WAR French Expert Gives Staggering Estimate ol General Conflict. $5,400,000,000 A MONTH. Jules Roche Declares That Beside Co. loss.il Ruin at Home It Would Par alyze the Entire World For Awhile. Le RoyBcaulieu and Alfred Ney marck Empliaiizo Fact. The discussion of the possibility of n Croat Kiirupean war has engaged the attention of diplomats and political leaders throughout the continent and Great Britain and some of the specu lations as to cost .ire stflRRering. The most striking opinion is that of M. Jules Hoc-he. former l'ronch minister of commerce, who made some remarka ble calculations on the point. Talcing as a basis the expense in curred by Trance during the war of JS70, he rodtons that, assuming for the bu1j of example, the six nations of the triple alliance and the triple en tente went to war, the cost of main taining the armies alone would work out at no less than $5,400,000,000 a month without taking into account the other expenses. Stagnation of War. "And what would be their Internal condition?" he asks. "The belligerent nations would bo struck with general paralysis and would seo their very means of subsistence disappear. Sus pension of work would bo forced even on those who were not Included in the general 'mobilization, since whom would there be to work for? "To whom would they sell their prod ucts? How coukl thoy be exchanged or transported? All the largo works and factories where the division of labor is completed would have to be shut Even agriculture would be Im possible. "No more purchases or sales, either the economic or the financial death of labor, an abrupt stoppage of the heart's action In the national organism of all the nations at war, with profound re action on all others ueh would be the consequences of n general conflagration In the present conditions of European civilization." France Would Suffer Le6S. Similar opinions are held by Paul Leroy-Ileaulieu, member of the Insti tute and one of France's leading econ omists. He thinks, howover, that in Buch a crisis France would suffer less than the other great powers, since, be ing self supporting, she always has at her disposal an Immense accumulation of agricultural products of the previous year whereon she could draw for a long period. She would thus be In far better cir cumstances than Germany, for in stance, which would find the greatest difficulty in obtaining imports, being cut off by the English fleet on the one hand and by Russia on the other. "Hut," he adds, "it is after the war that a vanquished nation would have the hardest timea, for many years would be necessary to repair the losses and heal tho woundn." Alfred Xeymarck, vice president of the French Society of Political Econ omy, after pointing out the huge mag nitude of commercial, Industrial and financial interests as well as the enor mous expansion in credit and business generally nmong tho six nations which would be engaged, asserts that the con sequences of an abrupt cessation of nil this activity through a general war would be incalculable In lta vastness.

Following are some of the features of the plans for the now state peniten tiary which U to be built at Jollct, Hi nt u cost of 13,500,000: Sunshine in every cell.

The plans, drawn nftor three years' Ktudy of prisons In this country and Europe, have been submitted to Oov-t-riior Deneen. Tho cell houses nre circular structures about 120 feet In diameter. Inatend of an open capo of Kteel, heavy glass will bo placed be tween the barn, so as to make an in closed room of each cell. FORE! AMEER PLAYS GOLF. Natives Put Petitions In the Holes on the New Links. The ameer of Afghanistan has taken up golf keenly and has had good links laid out In the nefchborhood of Kabul. Tho native were much puzzled by the well kept gTeens; but, recognizing the game uh a royal one, they put the holes to n practical purpose. They got Into tho habit of placing petitions Into the holes at nlent In the hope that they would reach the ameer when he was putting next day. Hut his majenty'a temper apparently wus not Improved by the royal game, lie resented this attempt to take ad vantage of hhi recreations and ordered that all such petitions be burned an- THE HAT-PINNACLE (SEE THE POINT?)

Money Sent to Balkans Used For Turk and Christian Alike. In a tone and comprehensive report Miss Mabel Hoard'iian at the annual meeting of the District of Columbia chapter. American lied Cross, outlined the work of the society in all parts of the world during the last year. Miss Hoanlman summarized what was ac complished at tho international Hed Cross conference last May, nt which time delegates from every corner of tho globe were present "Tho money sent to the Balkan states," said Miss Boardman, "will be used for the Turks as well as the Christians. The Hed Cross does not limit its work on nccount of the creed or race of the injured." She said, judging by reports from the scene, that thero are at least 100, 000 persons sick and wounded who need the aid of the Hed Cross or a similar organization. Fourteen thou sand of these are In Constantinople and nbout 10,000 in Servla. In Turkey the Hed Cross works in conjunction with the Hed Crescent, n similar so ciety. One of the hardest propositions be fore the Red Cross in the war zone Is to combat the spread of disease which so often follows In the wake of bat tles. Miss Boardman nlso referred to tho work of the Hed Cross at the time of the Titanic disaster, the Mississippi floods and In China. CANAL TO BE "WHITE WAY." Panama Engineers Have Elaborate Plans For Lighting by Acetylene. Details of the lighting equipment be ing installed at the Panama canal by tho army engineers, which, when com pleted, will set Uncle Sam's short cut through the continent up as a rival to New York's Great White Way and which will make navigation safe at all hours of the night, Is described by James Pattison in a paper read before tho convention of naval engineers and architects. Mr. Pattison was one of the engineers who assisted In making the plans. To accomplish this a dou ble row of automatic acetylene lighted buoys are being placed along the ca nal, and the channel will be further defined by powerful rapid flashing range lights, which will be stationed at vurlous points along tho waterway. Through the Culebra cut or wherever the proximity of the bank permits bea cons will bo Installed instead of buoys. Acetylene was selected instead of oil for the lighted buoys, Mr. Pattison explained, because of its superiority to oil for the purposes of the case at hand. Burned In a self lumluous burner, he said, ncetyluiie gives an In tensely concentrated white light, com parable only to sunlight nnd five times as powerful as tho light from oil. TOBACCO TO PAY FOR WAR. Bulgaria to Raise Price of "Weed" After Hostilities. Englishmen who have travoled In Bulgaria have a grateful recollection of tho cigarettes obtainable there, and It will not surprise them to learn that Bulgaria expects to pay the costs of tho war chiefly by tobacco. The "weed" grown In Bulgaria Is excellent, and much of It ultimately appoars In Turkish cigarettes, but of course tho price In tho tobacco mar ket differs from that paid for genuine Turkish. In Paris recently Turkish tobacco was sold at 5 francs the kilo and Bul garian tobacco at 2 francs. After tho war tho Bulgarians will not only have tho big Turkish tobacco provinces (much of the best Turkish tobacco U grown In the areas about Karasu To nidge), but thoy will be able with the Greeks to make a monopoly and also to raise tho prlcV of Bulgarian tobacco to what they believe Is Its real worth. It Is believed that a very large part of the war expenditure will he paid In this way. It seems Indeed a strance instance of modern develop ments when gunpowder Is to bo paid for by smoke. FOR THE CHILDREN The Pool and tho Tree Under a tree on my way from school I found n dear tittle baby pool. It must have come with th rain that day And thaucht It would stay bhtnd and play, And there It was having a gam with tho tree. Prom under whoso branches It twinkled nt me. Tho pool would smooth Itnalf out and stare, And tho branches would look at them selves In there, And then tho water would rlppl sad run. And wabblo their picture juit for fun, And break It all Into bit, and then Lot tho lirntichfs look at thema)Te axatn. Today I looked on my way to achool. Just think what had happid to that dear pool' Tho frost had come In the dfd ot night And frorcn the poor lauehlne pool up tlKht! It seemed a pity to spoil IU fun. All of Its ripples and tame wera done. Dut, bendhiB over. I aw th trace Of fi picture still on lta eold, wao face, A lovely picture of branehan fair And leaves of silver were froian ttiere. The denr little pool was asleep, you see. And dreamed In IU alaep of tha bMtitlfuI tree. Youth's Companion. A Cooky Fish Pond. To keep small children occupied nnd happy during that Impatient part of waiting for the advent of New Year's make a large number of sugar cookies in iVh shaped tins, slipping into the nose of qach a wire ring Just beforo they have become baked. Frost them with white icing, and with a colored Icing put on each tlsh a numeral rep resenting Its supposed weight Now partly cover a tea tablo with blue paper, and fence In this space with cardlxiard. Each child is given n little rod and line and a set bag to store his catch In, and fisherman's fun begins. When tho very last fish has been hooked tho number of pounds contain ed in each bag Is computed, and tho most successful fisherman Is awarded the championship and a toy fishing boat. The other children will console themselves satisfactorily by assidu ously devouring their catch. Country Gentleman. Lofty Ant Hills. West African ant hills are veritable giants, frequently standing forty feet high. These ant hills are shaped some thing like a sugar loaf and nre divided inside Into hundreds of tiny rooms. They have, needless to ay, myriads of Inhabitants, and these art all busily occupied In various ways forming tun nels, making roads, gathering food and watching over the eggs nnd youngsters. The natives are afraid to touch theso hills except from a distance with fire arms. Tho ants often make their strongholds around trees, and they are built very solidly, with sides sometimes twenty Inches thick. The Inside is hol low, nnd at the top there is a sort of attic. The "royal celL" whore tho queen ant lives, is always found on the ground floor. This good lady Is a. pris oner, but Is carefully fed by her busy subjects, the eggs she lays being Im mediately carried nway and deposited In "rooms' set apart for tlic purpose. Facts About Tea. For many years the New- England colonists had no tea, chocolate or cof fee to drink, for those were not In use In England when America was sot tied. In 1000 two dealers were licensed to sell It In "publlque" In Boston. Green nnd bobea tea was sold by the Boston apothecaries In 1711. For rnany ycars It was also sold. Ilk medicine In England, by the npothoeorit and not by the grocers. Many qaer mistakes are on record through Ignorance of lta proper ubc Many people put the tea Into water and boiled it for a time, then threw the liquid away and nte tho tea loaves. In Salem they did not find the leaves very attractive, so they put butter and salt on tbctn. Conundrums. Which of the birds would bo sup posed to lift the heaviest wohjtit? Tho crane. Why Is a dirty child Ilk flannel? Because it shrinks from washing. When did Ruth treat Boar badly? When she pulled his ears and trod on his corn. Why Is a convivial man like a Qua ker? Because he Is fond of the society of friends. Thoughtful. Luclla Gladys Rosamond Ophelia Phyllis May rosolved to make somo peoplo glad upon the Nrw Year's day. A basket filled with dainties rare with her own hands she bore and left It without word or sign before a poor friend's door. "It did not rvn bear my name, for that. In full, you see, would quite eclipse tho gift Itself," she murmured modestly. Origin of a Saying. 'Tho lion's share" embodied tho sar casm of old Aesop, In whose fable, at the conclusion of their Joint feast, the animals announce their wish to divide tho booty, the Hon claiming one-quarter by reason of kingly prerogative, one quarter for his superior courage, one quarter for his dam and cubs. "As for tho fourth quarter," said the Hon, "let who will dispute It with me." The Yulo Candle. Tho Yulo candle was once nn Indis pensable thing at Christmas. It was of enormous size and lighted tlic whole table. Christmas Island. Christmas Island, In tho Pacific ocean. Is so named because Oaptaln Cook landed there on Christina day, 1777.
