The expenses on lite Western front are on an average greater.
This statement must not be taken as an economy realized by the Rou
manian State on its general expenses for the war but rather as a criterium
of the special conditions in which the Roumanian army made the war.
6) Reckoning also the war damages, the effort of Roumania, divided over
each day of mobilization amounts to nearly 1 y 2 ,£, that is a considerable sum
compared to the average war expenses on the other fighting fronts.
7) Besides these charges born for the greater part by a population of
only 8 million souls, Roumania lost:
a) 350.000 soldiers that is 40°/ 0 of the whole effective force mobilised.
b) 450.000 civilians dead by disease or other causes arising directly from
the war, that is in all 800.000 dead or 10°/ 0 of the population of the former
kingdom.
These losses in men, added to the ,£ 1.937.882.264.2.9 which represent
the expenses and the damages of the war, characterize the effort made by Rou
mania, and constitute a claim not to be discussed which gives her the
right of demanding a special attention, and a better treatment in the settling
of the debts she was obliged to contract for them, in order to fulfil the charge
she took on herself when she entered the war with them.
From what we have pointed out in the general account Roumanis’a
interallied debt may be summed up as follows :
