as conservative and only cover the I'M
spcrtant battles of the campaign before
the truce was called. In addition to
them it is estimated that $4,000 Turk
ish soldiers persisted as result OF
minor engagements and cholera, which
ravaged the Ottoman ranks on the re-
treat to Constantinople. Thirty thou
sand men are also said to have been
lost by the allies through the same
causes. This brings the estimated
Turkish loss up to 10000 men and the
estimated loss to the fighting forces of
the allies UP to $4,000, total loss OF
10000 men. which may be said to In
clude the thousands who fell victims to
wounds, sick ness, sudden death on the
field or We're listed as missing.
These figures, of course, like all 9th
ers that have been compiled, are based
only on conjecture and are 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.
Money Loss Hard to Figure.
The monetary loss is incalculable.
Aside from the vast amount of money
Required to carry OH the actual opera
tons in the field. there is the destruc-
ton of property, the injury to com
merce 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. Private property has
been ravaged and the resources of the
governments involved have been almost
exhausted
1t is significant that the indemnity
asked by the Balkan ENJOYS at the
recent conference with the Turks ran
into the hundred millions. A guess as
to the probably cost of the conflict
would make total amount run far
into billions of dollars of American
money.
Another side of the 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 butchery of non-com-
batants, news of which filtered into the
press with the return of correspond
ents from the front. If these reports
| are true, the Balkan trouble has been
/ atrocious than that which usually fol-

| A Cettinje dispatch to the Times says

three days fighting which ended in the
capture of Bardanjolt. The Montene-

Der Have Persisted.

London. Feb. 22.-With what IL be-
feved to be the heaviest fighting of the
Balkan war already recorded. European
statisticians have been busily engaged
in trying to figure the loss of life and
money ,entailed by the campaign up
to the present day
L During the international conference
between thei ENJOYS of the rival fight
ing forces here, however, enough facts
were CLEANED to warrant the assertion
that the present conflict has been one
of the most bloody and costly In the
history of modern warfare.
Conservative estimates have placed
the number of dead in the larger bat
ties of the early campaign as follows:
The Washington herald., 1913-02-23

tweezers. one bottle carbolated vaseline.
one packabe safety pins. two wire gauze
splints, one two-ounce bottle aromatic
spirits of ammonia, one A. r. c. first aid

dages. two triangular bandages. Gear

the basis of all the Boy Scout training in
first-aid work. The boys practice upon
one another and really do. upon sound
limbs and bodies. the work OF bandaging
and of carrying the injured This training
has made the Boy Scouts more manly.
more alert, more resourceful. more kindly.
more helpful. and of more use in the
world They are equally applicable anG
doubtless would be just as productive Of
good results in the training Of girls.
The first thing that is impressed upon
the Boy Scout in case of accident is that
he must keep cool. He must first find out
what is the matter. and, il it is neces-
sary and possible. send for a doctor. II
not. he must do all that he can, quickly.
coolly. efficiently.
A good example OF this was found in an
accident that happened not long ago. Two
of the members of a party Of scouts on
hike dropped behind their comrades and
were taking short cut through the woods
to oyertake them. They heard a loud
cry for help, and, following 1t up. found
a boy somewhat older than themselves
lying on the ground under a tree. He
had trusted his weight upon a dead limb.
1t had broken, and he had fallen to the
ground. He said there was much pain in
the middle of his thigh. and he thought
he had felt something break when he fell.
The two scouts quickly ripped his cloth
ing to a point above the place of the pain.
They thought it was probably a bone
fracture and knew that the safest way
was to treat it as such. They gently
stretched out the injured leg. being care
full not TO pull or haul it about, into the
same position as the sound one. Then
they broke some limbs of tree and made
splints. This being thigh fracture
the outer splint was made very long. ex-
tending from the armpit TO below the
feet. while the inner one reached below |
