caption 1: “Destruction of buildings, machinery, and farms in
Belgium and France, $3,735,000,000.” That will be
the first item on the bill presented to you, Bill. We
‘wonder how you are going to pay it. “So much gold
would 8 one hundred and ninety freight care—a
train nearly a mile and a half long. That is the
general idea we have tried to convey in the picture

ment in a gold-laden freight train on the other
caption 2: «As for the bloodshed, Bill,
that you cannot pay for.
Every drop of it is priceless.
If the total loss of life had
been borne by us in America,
the entire population of Illi:
nois and Indiana, for example,
would have been completely
wiped out, The number of
killed has been estimated at
eight and a half millions. The
disabled number 7,175,000,
which is about equal to the
combined population of the
six States of New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, and
Maine, We have tried to

map by shading certain States

that the Allies possessed, |
you sank one. That ex: |
plains the explosions in the
reat flect here pictured
