It is said she refused to take the
medicines prescribed for her by
the specialists at the sanitarium.

burial, Attorney Parke N. Dal-

It is Quite doubtful whether
the European world has accum-
ulated in .2,000 years as much
wealth as was s ank ic this un-
®onsionable war. For while 338
billioiss does not represent the
total wealth -of tlbe civMized par^
of the old world, yet it com@s
very close <repr esenting that
wealth with unimproved real
estate omitted, whfeh the human
race did saot create. There «an be
little question but that/the fin-
ancial cost of the war wasequiv-
alent to all the wealth that Eu-
rope had sav ed in 60 generations.
The dead number 10 million
young men* A greater army of
maimed and mutilated live to
advertise this achievement of.
civilised mankind.
While the cost of the war in
money probably exceeded the
accumulated savings of the na
tions engaged, this does not sig-
nify a diminution of that sum of
wealth, which would of course
leave all the nations destitute.
In.the costs are included the lost
productive power for four or
five year8ofthe20miiliongn

There are getting-to be so
