WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. Government
expenses since the beginning of the
fiscal year July 1 are nearing the S3,
000,000.000 mark. The total, reported
on the daily Treasury statement of
yesterday, was 42,921,075,341. This is
nearly S800,000;000 more than receipts
during this period, including that por
tion of the first liberty loan paid since
the fiscal year began.
The greatest single item of expendi
ture -was $1,571,200,000 advanced the
allies. Ordinary disbursements, includ
ing military and naval expenditures
and the cost thus far of the shipbuild
ing and aircraft programmes, totaled
tl, 029,976,541. A total of J286. 711.722
had been expended in the retirement of
short-time certificates of indebtedness.
Receipts from ordinary sources. In
cluding the income tax (paid, for the
most part, just before the end of the
fiscal year), customs receipts and taxes
on liquors, beer, tobacco and other di
rect taxes, totaled S269. 642,595. A total
of $512,674,906 on the first liberty loan
was paid in this fiscal year, while $1,
"50,000.000 was realized through the
issuance of short-time certificates of
indebtedness, which will have to be
retired out of second liberty bond re
ceipts. Last Year's Figures Distanced.
Receipts and expenditures for the
corresponding period last year were
$220,529,360 and $302,503,285, respective
ly, or about one-tenth of this year's
figures.
NEW YORK. Oct. 16. The war is
costing the belligerent nations of the
world at the rate of $160,000,000 a day,
$6,500,000 an hour and the United
States is paying at least one-quarter of
this staggering sum, according to esti
mates made today by the Mechanics Na
tional Bank of New York. The esti
mated daily cost at the beginning of
the war was $50,000,000, and a year ago
it was $100,000,000. This country's rate
of expenditure is greater than any
other nation, Great Britain being sec
. ond and Germany next.
By next August, according to the
bank's figures, the total cost to the
world will be $155,000,000,000. Already
expenditures have exeeeded $100,000,
000,000. of which all but a fraction has
been translated into permanent nation
al indebtedness. Interest on public
debt is now calculated to be more than
10 per cent of the normal income of the
German people, as compared with less
than one-half of 1 per cent in the case
of the people of this country.
Allies' Wealth Far Greater.
The developed national wealth of the
allies is placed at $600,000,000,000 by
the bank, while that of the Teutonic
powers is given as $130,000,000,000.
About 53.000,000 men are today . en
Raged in the war. To what extent the
entente allies have gained superiority
over Germany is shown by the bank in
striking fashion.
With no more than 2.000.000 of Amer
ican manhood enlisted, the total mili
tary strength of the allies is 33.000,000
:Hi?ainst a total for Germany, Austria,
Hungary. Bulgaria and Turkey of 20.
UOO.OOO. The population- of 14 entente
Allies, from which the ranks of their
armies may be replenished, is altogeth
er 1,300,000,000 against a population of
less than 150.000.UUO in the central
European nations.
enforcement of this order will be un
necessary, as the banks are rallying,
along with the rest of the people, to
unqualified support of the loan. -
"Army sales continued to Increase to
night until the boys in khaki had
bought more than $25,000,000 in bonds.
Competition among Southern camps for
top honors is particularly keen.
"It is confidently predicted by per
sons in . close touch with (the Army
subscription situation that the total
will run well above $100,000,000 before
the drive closes." . .
Statements' urging the people of the
country to subscribe now were Issued
today by 'Secretary Houston and Sam
uel Gompers.
. "Every man, woman or child who
wishes to feel he has 'had a part In
bringing about the wider liberty which
is coming 'to the world through the war
we are fighting," Mr. Gompers said,
"can be assured he is contributing di
rectly by buying a- bond. An invest
ment in one or these - bonds is an - in
vestment in liberty with a sure return
on the money invested.
"Every citizen of this free country
ought to contribute, in accord with his
ability. Patriotism consists in doing
or giving that which- is- necessary to
maintain the principles of our country."

KANSAS CITT, Mo., Oct. 16. Re
ports that the fire which early today
destroyed a large portion of the Kansas
City Stockyards and resulted in the
death of approximately; 11,000 cattle
and 3300 hogs was of an incendiary
origin persisted late today, though dis
credited, by -officials of the corporation
owning the yards.
Insurance adjusters place the loss at
approximately $750,000, of which $200,
000 represents the buildings, pens and
chutes destroyed and $550,000 the live
stock burned.
Heavy insurance was carried both
upon .the. .buildings and upon the live
stock. . J. E. Marvin, fire warden and chief
engineer of the Kansas City fire de
partment, after an investigation ex
pressed the belief that the blaze was
started by some individuals, but de
clared that the fire-swept area is so
devastated that no indications of an in
cendiary origin could have escaped the
flames. Lieutenant E. J. Bishoff, of
the first fire company to-arrive at the
yards, said three fires were burning
fully 200 yards apart.
Reconstruction Is Bcgrun.
George R. Collett, general manager
of the Stockyards Company, believes
the fire to have resulted from natural
causes and that the wind blew sparks
from the first fire, starting the other
two. blazes. The work of clearing away
the debris for the reconstruction of the
.destroyed pens and buildings began
shortly after the -fire had been ex
hausted. - Receiving and selling will be re
sumed in the Stockyards in the morn
ing in all classes of livestock, except
stockers and feeders in the cattle class,
according to Mr. Collett,
47,000 Cattle Wre.1n Yards.
There were 47,000 cattle in the yards
at the close of business, yesterday, it
was said, and while it was possible to
liberate most of them, so rapidly did
the flames gain headway that many
were caught and burned.
Hundreds of freed cattle reached the
downtown sections of both Kansas City,
Mo., and Kansas City, Kan.
It was the third disastrous fire in
the history of the Kansas City Stock
yards. The origin of the fire has not
been determined. The other two were
caused by carelessly thrown cigarette
stubs.
Cattle owners are having difficulty
in identifying their animals from
among the great herd which was lib
erated when fire early today- destroyed
more than one-half of the Kansas City
Stockyards. By 7 o'clock the fire had
been extinguished. '

How Will
the Cost
of the
War
Be Met?
.The colossal sums re- 1
quired to carry on trie war
must be paid by the people.
The Government has no
other source from which to
secure the money.
There are two ways by
which the Government can
get this money from the
people. One is by taxation ;
the other is by the sale of
bonds.
When you are taxed, your
money is gone. You never
see it again. When you buy
a Governmentjbond you get
all your money back, and
interest besides.
So, you see, it is much
more to your interest to buy
Liberty Bonds than it is to
be taxed.
But there is another rea
' son why you should buy
Liberty Bonds a bigger,
better reason a more un
selfish and patriotic reason.
t
You love your country.
You know it is the finest
countrv in the world to live
1. in. You love your country's
flag. It is the symbol of
liberty, justice and equality.
It protects your life and
S your property.
Hundreds of thousands of
your fellow Americans are
going abroad to fight for
your country and your flag.
They are ready to lay
down their lives, if need be,
to make sure that no in
vader's foot shall desecrate
American ground ; that your
family, your home, your
property, your liberty, are
not destroyed or violated.
These gallant- young
Americans must have food,
clothing, arms and ammu
nition. Otherwise they are
lost, and the war is lost.
That is the purpose to
which the money you pay
for Liberty Bonds will be
put. That is the reason why
you should. buy Liberty
Bonds. -
Do it now. Buy all you
can.
