first answer: taxes

second improved answer: Governments can also borrow money to pay for wars & other things. If a government issues debt (example war bonds), then it will normally try to pay back its debt by using taxes & other government revenues to fund the interest & principal payments.

Your question is vague as to which government & which war effort. Some governments (such as Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Imperial Japan) also pay for war by stealing, confiscating, looting, creating slave labor, etc.
