"WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 20. The report of the
overturning of the Ukranian government by General 'Den
ikine's troops has been received with great satisfaction
here.
Officials declare it will make the Allies' task in handling
the Russian problem much simpler with the Cossacks in
charge of affairs there. Many of the Cossacks are Ukran
ians themselves. It is believed that it will now be easier to
reach European Russia with supplies and munitions by the
Black Sea, under the new conditions.
General Denikine was formerly commander of the Rus
sian armies on the southwestern front.

edst of the war for all belligerent na
tions to last May 1 was reported at
about $17G,000,000,000 .by the fed
eral reserve board bulletin, Just Issu
ed, nndMt is estimated the cost will
nmount to nearly 1200,000,000,000
before the end ot this year. For
purely military and naval purposes It
Is estimated that nil belligerents have
spent about 1132,000,000,000 to May
1, or about three-fourths of the total
wnr coat. Tho balance represented
Interest on debt and other Indirect ex-
penres.
How the cost mounted ss the war
