'Grigg Jeweler and Optician Issuer Of Marriage Licenses M(,(Ge- s� William Michaelis has compiled figures in Over Land and Sea, showing just how big the war is. He estimates that 21,770 000 Hien stand opposed to each other -12,820,000, on the side of the Allies and 8,950,000 for Germany, Austria and Turkey. On the the naval side his estimates are as follows - Allies Germany et al. Line Ships 113 56 Big Cruisers 37 , 17 Small Cruisers 128 56 Torpedo Boats 704 85S Submarines 179 x40 Miscellaneous 231 139 (xNumber new boats unknown) The area of the countries ranged against Germany; exclusive of Italy he finds to be 56,000,000 square kilometres with an aggregate population of 800,000,000. Germany and her Allies on the other hand have a territory of 9,000,000 square kilometres and a population of 150,000,-. 000, persons. ns. The dailycost of the warh v tothe ten nations now taking part he places at 169, 000,000 marks (542,250,000), and he esti- mates that up to the first of April the total cost of the war was 40,000,000,000 marls (510,000,000,000). Italy again ex- cepted, lie placed the annual cost of such a war at 515,000,000,000. It would take 60,000,000 of the huge 1,000 mark bank notes to pay this cost and these notes, stacked up one on top of the other, would make a pile 20,000 feet, almost four miles in height. In gold this would weigh 24,000,000 kilo- grams (52,912,800 pounds) whereas the entire gold production of the entire world during the past 500 years has amounted to but 15,000,000 kilograms. The daily war costs for the German Empire he places at 33,000,000,000 mark (58,250,000) and only 40 days of this con flict cost as much as the whole Franco- Prussian War of 1870-71. The cost to England, exclusive of the colonies, is about the same, and three months of this war cost Great Britain as much as the Boer War, lasting two years and sev- en months. France spends a little more daily. •••••••.•.0e•••••••••••••••••••••••N•••••••••••••• • •m Toronto Morkels Clinton • • e • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••0••••••O••••••••••••••• Wheat $1 ea Oats 66c Butter 24 to 27c.
