This IT COST $2 5,000 TO KILL A SOLDIER WORLD The human toll of the World War was 26 million lives lost. Of these, 10 million sol diers were known dead, 3 million soldiers missing and 13 million civilians annihilated through the conflict and its attendant epidemics. The combined cost of the war to all nations was 650 billion dollars, including ruined for tunes, disabled steamers and railroads, loss in production, and expenditures for the aid of war victims an average of $25,000 for every person who died either in combat or as an innocent victim of this terrific straggle. In spite of this appalling loss, the nations this year estimate military expenditures of six billion dollars in their titanic race for superior strength over their neighbors of the world. , COPYRIGHT 193 wkmm vfK ii him Wi .
