that of any other of the principal combatants. The official tabulation of the United States War Department shows the following bloody total of deaths:

The cost of the war in terms of money to all the nations involved approximated $186,000,000,000. Of this staggering total, Germany spent $39,000,000,000 and the United States and its co-belligerents spent $123,000,000,000. The cost to the United States alone was approximately $22,000,000,000. In addition to this money that was actually spent by the United States, it loaned almost $10,000,000,000 to the Allies.

The maintenance and munitioning of the army cost more than $14,000,000,000. During the final ten months of the war, the daily expenditure of the United States for war purposes averaged more than $44,000,000. The total expenditures by the principal nations involved in the war

But while America struck the deciding blow, sight must not be lost of the heroism displayed by British, French, Belgian, Russian, Italians, Serbs and other Allies when the Teutonic hordes were fresh and all-powerful. Americans will be false to themselves if they fail to recognize that Germany would have triumphed early in the war had it not been for Belgium's first sacrificial onslaughts against the advancing tide of Germans and Austrians; Russia's fine first effort against the Germans, Austrians and Turks; the immortal glory of the defence by France at Verdun and along the entire fighting line when hope seemed dead and ruin gaped everywhere; the deathless courage of English, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, Canadians and Australasians who held on with bulldog tenacity while whole families of fathers and sons were wiped out in the bloody welter and regiments melted like wax in a flame.

No one nation won the war. It was a co-partnership of glory. While the loss of America was less than that of any other great power because of its late entrance into the war, it still was so heavy that it created throughout the land an overwhelming sentiment against future warfare and a determination to shape a treaty of peace that would remake the world along lines tending away from conflict and toward better human understanding between nations.

In such spirit was the treaty of peace concluded between the United States of America and the Allies on the one side and the German Government on the other side. That treaty remade the world. It was signed at Versailles on the twentyeighth day of June, 1919 and was immediately referred to all the signatory nations for ratification. Under that compact autocracies crumbled and democracies arose. Old nations

disappeared and new states took their places. The map of the world was torn apart and reshaped.

Germany the aggressor in the World War suffered heavy penalties. The following table shows the losses sustained by the German Empire in areas and population.

Austria-Hungary's and Turkey's losses in territory and population were even greater in proportion to their totals before the war than were the losses of Germany. Turkey was virtually eliminated from Europe, and great stretches of territory in Asia Minor were severed from her control. Austria-Hungary was dismembered, and Germanic Austria became one of the least considerable and powerful nations of Central Europe. Bulgaria was penalized for its share in the Teutonic
