CIVIL WAR GREATEST OF ALL

The official report of casualties in the Japanese army
during the late proves faacy which The Herald
has alluded on two three occasions. That is the
notion, accepted generally by the press and the public
that the Russian-Japanese conflict was the greatest
of modern times in respect to numbers and casual
ties of soldiers The statement that has just from
Toxic however, proves that the American Civil War
holds the record the most supendous conflict in the
worlds history.
The report now made officially by the Japanese war
department shows that the total number of Japanese
soldiers killed during the war was 4618O Subsequent
deaths added 1890 and there were $1,000
deaths resulting from disease. That makes total of
7245O deaths in the army from the beginning to the
end of the
On the Union side in the American Civil War the
total number of deaths was 2S0739 OF that number
1921 officers and 1868 killed in action or died
of wounds The deaths from disease embraced 1921
officers and 182329 Consequently the total
of deaths in the Union nearly four times
great as that in the Japanese army.
In regard to the numbers Of soldiers in the Union
army as compared with the number of Japanese
in the late the difference is quite as marked in
the fatalities.
No official statement has appeared yet giving the total
in the Japanese army during the war; but the reli
able estimates make the figure about 100000 In the
American Civil War, according to the official report,
the total of enlisted soldiers 27724OS. The enlist
ments therefore coincide with the fatalities in making
the in the American army about four times the
number in the Japanese army
There are no accurate data whereby to carry the
comparison of the two wars to the defeated armies.
The most likely estimates of the Russians in Manchura
put the figure at 100000 Still less is publicly known
about the fatalities but probably they approximate those
of the Japanese army. The Russian loss heavier
of the Japanese in the field battles but the
latter suffered enormously in the siege of Port Arthur
while the Russian loss was comparatively light
In the Civil war the Confederates had about 100000
enlisted soldiers of whom at least onehaf killed
died of disease.

CONCERTED INSURANCE ACTION OF STATES

The Lawson plan for dealing with the recreant life
insurance companies is commendable, though it
does emanate from erratC Lawson is
deavoring to bring about unity of action by the gov
ernors of many states possible in life insurance
reform movement. He claims that of the governors
with whom he has communicated over half have wired
their acceptances.' He says 81 have not met with
single refusal, which shows that leading all
the country are awake to the need of going
ahead and doing something for the millions who have
been Systematically robbed year after year"
The abuses revealed in life insurance management
matters wholly within the province of the states,
and state laws ample for the protection of the peo-
pie The potency of such laws when vigorously applied
is already in action taken by several insurance
functonares. Missouri Minnesota, Nevada and other
states showing their mee in this matter and it is
known that many more will be ripe for action when
the investigation in New York is concluded
But concerted action the part of state executives
is highly desirable Lawson is striving to attain that
object and is to be hoped he will succeed even if
Lawson thereby succeeds in exploiting himself. His
personality would be eliminated of course, if confer
ence Of governors should be agreed upon.
plan for united action the part of the states,
worked out by the governors and their advisers would
be in every respect preferable to the plan of putting
the life insurance business under federal control That
business does not properly within the province of
the federal government 1t is state function and the
machinery for controlling it already in place. needing
only to be started
Judging from the way graft bacli are thriving on the
relatively lean pickings they getting in several
federal departments, they would grow to elephantne
proportions if they had the mumilons of the big life
insurance companies to fatten upon.

Reception and Musicale

The Woman's club house was the
scene last evening of brilliant recep-
ton and musicale given by the members
of the Woman's parliament in honor or
delegates to the fourteenth annual seS-

club house was beautifully decorated
throughout. Scarlet geraniums, smilax
and ferns were used in the reception
hall, library and in two of the par
lors, while in the third, where the presi-
dent, Mrs. jefferson D. Gibbs, and the
receiving party Stood quantities of
pink and white cosmos were in evil

Young women charmingly goWned in

ribbon.
The musical program opened with a
cello solo by Mime. Won Grofe Menasco.
Mime. Monasco played first Golterman's
"Andante Expressive" and followed
with "Madrigale," by Simonetti. Both
numbers were well rendered and
brought forth the hearty response
which usually follows the music of the
celloist,
A group of songs-"Angels' Serenade"

sung by Mrs. Minda Bidwell- Bedford

THE PRIMARY THING NEEDFUL

Instead of carping at the progress of Los Angeles
in thu Of some of it's esteemed contemporaries
the Oakland Enquirer sees example in the southland
city that would be we'll follow at home In regard to
the proposed consolidation of large county with
this city the Enquirer says:
when this is accomplished it will be
plishedfor when anything is proposed in Los Angeles
that civic progress and economy to the taxpayer
with benefit all classes of ctizensthe people get be-
hind it."
What happens when the people of Los Angeles get
behind proposition that makes for the public veal
needs description. The city itself is monument to
the results of such efforts.
Approaching the situation thoroughly the Enquirer
turns it's view from the southland to the natural adj
marks sadly:
"A of which would be equally true of the situation
here if the proposition of consolidation realized
by the cities of Alameda county having community Of
interest"
But territorial expansion alone will not add to the
greatness of any community. Something than the
consolidation of Alameda countys cities and towns will
be necessary order realize the fruits of expan-
sion That need the Enquirer detects shown in it's
saying that when anything proposed in Los Angeles
that stands for the general welfare "he people get be-
hind it."
a proposition they put their shoulders to it and push
with the steadness and force of big "mogul ocomo
