These figures, however, are re- garded as conservative and only coVer the important battles ot the Campaign before the truce was called. In addition to them, 1t IS Estimated that over 5O,OOO more Turkish soldiers perished as a re- sult of minor engagements and cholera. which ravaged the Otto man ranks on the retreat to Con stantinople. Thirty thousand men are also said to have been lost by the allies through the same causes. This brings the estimated Turkish loss up to i26,000 men and the es- timated loss to the fighting forces of the allies up to 73,000, total loss of i99.OO0 men, which may be sad to include the thousands who Tell Victims to wounds, sickness sudA den death on the field, or were list- ed as missing.
 These figures. of course, like all others that have been compiled, are based only on conjectures, and arc believed by many experts to be too conservative. The actual losses of the campaign will not be Known probably for years after peace has been restored.
 Enormous Money Loss.
 The monetary loss is incalculable. Aside from the vast amount o1 money required to carry on the ac- tual operations in the field, there is the destruction of property, the Injury to commerce and personal liabilities to figure.
 Hundreds of towns and villages have been devastated during the struggle. Great cities have been damaged by fire and pestilence, Prl- yate property has been ravaged ana the resources of the governments Involved have been almost ex- hausted
 Newspaper reports, upon when the statistician must rely for the most part in estimating the none tary loss in the Balkans, have failed to comment extensively on this side of the problem. It is significant, However, that the indemnity asked hy the Balkan envoys at the recent Conference with the Turks ran into fhe hundred millions. A guess as to the probable cost of the conflict would make the total amount run into billions of dollars of American money.
 Peasants Have Suffered.
 Another side of inc conflict has been the suffering entailed by the peasants of both the allies and the Turks, the depredations against women of both nations and the Hatchery of non-combatants, news ot which filtered into the press with the return of correspondents from the front.

London, Feb. l7-With what is believed to be the heaviest fighting of the Balkan war already recorded, European statisticians have been busily engaged in trying to figure the loss in life and money entailed by the campaign up to the present day.
 Their efforts have brought them face to face with the fact that re- liable information upon which to base their figures cannot be had, owing to the garbled news reports received during the conflict and to the strict censorship maintained by allies and Turks alike.
 During the international confer ences between the enVoys of the IT. val fighting forces here, however, enough facts were gleaned to war rant the assertion that the present conflict has been one of the most bloody and costly in the history or modern warfare

DIAMOND ROBBERY
 WAS A FALSE ALARM
(From Tuesdays Examiner)

The diamond story, the sensation of yesterday has proven a false alarm for the diamonds weren't stolen and the robbers weren't robbers at all and were turned loose when the officers took them from the county jail to the LomaX store for identification.
 An inspection of diamonds by MT. Chas. Williams on his return from Los Angeles last night simply developed the fact that no diamonds were mis- sing though is was reported yester- day that two diamonds valued at s7O and $50 was stolen by two we'll dressed Mexicans who were immedi- ately found and locked up. No dia> monds being found on them, officers are supposed to have gone on a long chase for a third robber who had the diamonds.
 Now there wasn't any third robber or any robbers at all and no diamonds stolen.
 This is a good advertising stunt Pass it along to the next town.

THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
 MAKES REPORT ON GOOD ROADS

to prevent undue inroads on the fed eral treasury, federal aid, whenever extended for construction and mainte- nance, should be furnished on condi tion that the states provide an appro- priation at least double that voted by the federal government This sure would furnish an automatic check.
 The plan would provide for mainte- nance as we'll as construction, in or der to prevent the possibility of the construction of roads many of wn1cn may wear out before the bonds placed upon them are paid.
 The secretary of the interior raises the question as to what roads should be improved. He says that the roads of greatest economic and social i'm portance are those over N.
 products of the farm can be taken to the nearest railway station and which minister to the other social and economic needs of the community.
 It is pointed out that no federal funds should be expended on any project until a scheme of road con- struction and maintenance wl.A4n state has been developed and agreed upon by the proper representatives of the state and of the federal gov ernment
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1913-12-18

In the annual report just issued by the Agricultural Department, special chapter is devoted to good roads. For twenty years, it is stated, there has been a steady growth in the good roads movement, so that today about 34 states have highway comissions or some other form of highway agency. State appropriations for road work have increased from two million 10 years ago to forty-three million ln 1912. The relation of teh federal gov ernment to road construction and road management is pointed out. The fed eral government should take the lead in investigational and experimentation work and should develop principles of cooperation with the states in mat ters of educational and demOnstra- tional work. It seems desirable that the government should deal with the state as the lowest unit, through an expert highway commission as its agency. This policy would eliminate the difficulty of the federal govern ment's determining local issues as well as the danger of undue centralized federal control. us
