This, in substance, is the question which puzzled America has been asking all through the last half of 1919. Why must 1919 go down in history, as M. Brieux says, as "a lost year"? With huge excess stores of food and products, why does trade delay? Why does foreign exchange jump up and down like the temperature of a "flu" patient? When Mr. Hoover returned last July he was quoted as saying that, unless Europe began promptly to produce, there would be starvation in unheard-of proportions this winter. Now we hear that it is at hand. Did they deliberately choose starvation, or did they drift into it, or is there still another and perhaps a more valid reason? Production implies producers. Who and where and in what condition are the producers of Europe? We hear that Belgium and England are making real progress toward production. Has this any relation to the fact that their military losses, especially those of Belgium, were much less in proportion than those of some other countries? For five and a half years we have scarcely opened a morning paper without reading a head-line telling of the sufferings of some new group of victims of the war.

Excerpt from Address Delivered by Lieutenant-Colonel Homer Folks: The Human Costs of the War These meetings are open to all who may be interested. I hope that through them we, of the Municipal Court, will be able to make our contribution to a better understanding of the prob lems of the public aspects of social service. These are, indeed, the times that try men's souls; and it is only by the constant effort to arrive at a better and a deeper understanding of our tasks that we can be helpful to each other. Colonel Folks is our speaker today. He came to our city to preside at the National Tuberculosis Conference and we are especially privileged to have him address us. To our Municipal Court he stands as a symbol. He is a pioneer in probation work. I believe he outlined the organization of the first State Probation Commission, that of New York, of which he is now President. His interest, among his many interests, has always been in children. He is the author of a book which is a standard for workers with children The Care of Destitute, Neglected and Delinquent Children. I think that our staff, and all those interested in children, should read that book. Colonel Folks has had an experience in France which is bound - by the greatness of his duties in a great world crisis - to carry inspiration to all working in social service or to those interested in it. It was his duty to help relieve the distress of the suffering civilians in France. He was Director of the Department of Civil Affairs of the American Red Cross in France, Chief of the Red Cross Survey Mission in Italy, Greece, Serbia, Belgium and France. He is embodying his experience in a book, which Harper Brothers will publish and which will appear serially in Harper's Magazine. It is the highest privilege to have Colonel Folks address us upon Human Costs of the War, an address based upon that book.

The Cost of the World War to the American People (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from The Cost of the World War to the American People The need for such an analysis, conceived and executed in the spirit of historical research, was increasingly obvious as the war developed, releasing complex forces of national life not only for the vast process of destruction, but also for the stimulation of new capacities for pro duction. This new economic activity, which under normal conditions of peace might have been a gain to society, and the surprising ca pacity exhibited by the belligerent nations for enduring long and in creasing loss - often while presenting the outward semblance of new prosperity - made necessary a reconsideration of the whole field of war economics. A double obligation was therefore placed upon the Division of Economics and History. It was obliged to concentrate its work upon the problem thus presented, and to study it as a whole; in other words, to apply to it the tests and disciplines of history. J ust as the war itself was a single event, though penetrating by seemingly unconnected ways to the remotest parts of the world, so the analysisof it must be developed according to a plan at once all embracing and yet adjustable to the practical limits of the available data.
