THE CASUALTY LISTS.

Following the huge casualty lists
of the war, it must puzzle some per-
sons to know how the belligerents
can 20 on fighting much longer with
out wiping out their forces. The
British casualties were announced at
nearly $4,000 up to three weeks ago.
This was out of a force which began
at less than 10000, and is not now
supposed to be much in excess OF
100000.
1t is reported that the German
casualty list is already 1,25O,OOO.
French estimates have ranged all the
way from 100000 to 100000. AS
the Russians tell it, the Austrians
have lost perhaps even more than the
Germans. Apparently nobody has
tried to count up the Russian losses;
but if all the reports as given out
day by day and battle by battle were
totaled the Russian score might run
up above a couple of million.
In any event, nobody would estl-
mate the combined casualty lists OF
all the belligerents at less than
2,5O0,O0O. With 2,500,0O0 Of the
combatants put out of action from
first to last since the war opened less
than four months ago, it might seem
as if it would not take much more
than a year to dispose of virtually
the first line of all the belligerents.
The great mass of names that 60
on the casualty lists, however, are of
men wounded; and there seems to be
no doubt that of the wounded some
20 to 80 per cent are back in the
ranks in an almost incredibly short
time.
Some one has estimated that the
same 100000 men on the firing
line could provide an annual casualty
list of 100000 and still leave the
original 100000, more men than
were ever on battlefelds at once
since the era Of modern warfare.

State Rights Emphasized
By Rail Commissioners

With the exception of few OF tneir
number interested In cases pending De-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits

the convention of the National Associa-

in Washington today. The convention
ndio,,rrad last night after two resolu-
ticns, as against Federal control had
been adopted. ..,.
One resolution urged legislation that
would prevent the Interstate Commerce
Coumission from absolSing railroad
from enforcing a state-made rate; until
sucl, rate shall be held unlawful in

THE FATE OF MEXICO.

Everything from Mexico points
the conclusion that decisive battle
will soon be fought between the
forces of Carranza on one side and
Villa and Zapata on the other, which
will probably determine the newest
civil war in that country. That Villa
and Zapata will win is generally ex-
pected.
After that, there will be little seri-
Gus obstacle to Villas entry into
Mexico City. What will happen there
will be likely to have a larger infiu-
ence even than the battle now i'm
pending.
If the troops of Villa and Zapata
do not sack the city; if they can be

REOPENING 'CHANGE.

The reopening of the Chicago
Stock Exchange on Monday next is
awaited with a great deal of interest
in business and financial circles
throughout the country, as it is ex-
pected to throw light upon the ex-
tent of the demand for securities
and the anxiety of holders to real
ize on them, as well as test the ef-
feet the war in Europe still exerts
on the speculative and investment
situation. The test will not be a
conclusive one. however. as trad
ing in both listed and unlisted stocks
and bonds will not be permitted at
less than the closing prices of July
80.
The decision to resume trading in
that market was not made without
considering every phase of the situa-
tion, and il is inconceivable that such
an advanced step would have been
taken without adopting precaution-
ary measures in the event Of heavy
liquidation. If the experiment proves
as successful as its sponsors believe
it will, there is every reason to look
forward to early resumption of trad
ing in the regular way on all the
leading exchanges of the country.
Many Of the best-informed invest
ment bankers in the United States
express the opinion that the fear
that the reopening of exchanges in
this country for unrestricted busi-
ness, domestic and foreign, would be
the signal for q food of selling of
American securities held by Euro
pean investors is more imaginary
than real.
Whether their views be right or
wrong, there is no question that
there is a growing demand for the
stock exchanges of the United States
20 resume business if it can be done
without submitting the country to
an era of drastic liquidation. The
test can be made with much less risk
in Chicago than in New York; and
as Chicago has a number of excep-
tionally strong financial institutions,
the experience there may point the
way TO a general clearing up of the
financial situation.

Hope Australian Wool
Embargo Will Be Lifted

State Department officials are still
bopeful of obtaining a modification cf
the embargo on wool expectation from
Australia. although the British govern
ment refuses to let down the bars at
present. Last year the United States
imported nearly $50 600. 900 In unInanufac-
t,,red woolens, most OF which came from
fha limited Kingdom. There have been
large annual purchases Of Australian
wool of the coarser grades for use In
clothing manufacture.
Great Britain's unwillinSnesS to per

the necessity Of providing clothing for

A NEW AUTO POWER.

cred, it is reported, a new power for
operating internal combustion en-
gines, such as are used by motor
cars, which can be produced at about
cent and a half the gallon. If that
be true, it means power, said to be
equal to OF better than gasolene, at
one-tenth the cost of what is now the
standard fuel for engines of this
type.
The new fuel, it is explained, is
composed chiefly of water, with a
small mixture of naphtha, and two
cheap ingredients the identity of
which is not announced, because they
constitute the secret of the process.
In brief, it is explained that the in
ventor has found a way to disinte-
CRATE water without heat; to make
it into gas, in short, that will ex-
plode, without the expense of vapor-
izing it with heat. 1t is stated that
motor car tests of the new fuel have
proved it superior to gasolene.
1t is almost impossible to calcu-
late the revolution in power produc-
ton that would be caused by the de-
velopment of such a fuel. 1t would
concern not merely the motor car,
but every other sort Of power. Trac-
tion plows, for instance, have been
devised which in the great fields of
Canada and our own Northwest have
plowed cheaper than horse power
could do it. These have not been
practicable where fields are of small
area; but they probably would be, if
so cheap a power can be provided for
them. Every power-using process of
the farm, of industry, of transpor-
tation, would Immediately be sub
jected to experimentation with the
purpose of determining if the new
fuel could be utilized for it. There
would be a prompt inquiry whether
it was longer worth while even to
attempt development Of great water
powers and transformation of their
energy into electric current. Rail-
road locomotives and big stationary
power plants that provide light and
transportation for cities would be re-
organized, if it should prove prac-
ticable, with the new fluid as their
basic energy. All manner Of power
making plants would have to be re-
built in order to avail of the new
economy.
Possibilities of the new invention.
in short, reach out to realm so in
elusive that very "Arabian Nights"
tale of industrial revolution is sug-
gested. What would not the German
government pay just at this time for
this secret, which would provide it 3
substitute for the gasolene that is
not to be had in sufficient quantities!
1t would seem a product Of imag-
ination, if the accounts of the new
power-fuid were not so circumstan-
tial and plausible. The idea of dis
integrating water without heat is not
new. The possible results of such ar
achievement have long been recog-
nized by scientists and technical in
vestigators. Many have believed that
the time would come when invention
would solve the riddle. Now comes
the announcement that this long de
sired result has been secured.
The Washington times., 1914-11-21
HOW LONG?

diers have been hurled from end to
end of the empire time and again
even in the short period since the
war began, is the belief of military
authorities almost everywhere. The
long deadlock in western Europe of
late is commonly accounted for,
among military authorities, on the
theory that Germany found it neces-
sary to withdraw large forces and
drive them eastward against the
advancing Russians. The offensive
being still in German hands, it is
possible to leave western lines reason
ably secure while great forces are
taken away from them to serve in the
east. The offensive merely requires
to be moderated at such times; and
seemingly there has been a period
of such moderation recently, while
the forces have been pushed into
Russian Poland, to inflict a severe
olooStCI VII NuSSldIlS.
How long can Germany continue
such tactics? How long will her
magnificent organization of trans
port, commissariat, and every other
detail of the war machine stand such
a strain?
1t is as if a magnificent fighter
were compelled to oppose two an
tagonists; a round first with one,
then with the other; turning now to
the right, now to the left; able to
hold off and perhaps wear down each
opponent; but always compelled to
turn without time for breath and
rundown to the other, waiting for
his chance and unwilling to grant
time for recuperation?
The German organization has
earned the admiration of every
gamester thus far. But likewise it
has compelled the inquiry, "How
long can it keep up this fearful eff
fort?" With a twentieth-century
scheme of railroads and canals and
wireless and supremely organized
mechanism, it has been able to do
the very thing that was supposed
to be impossible: that is, to divide
the enemy and fight him in detail, as
Napoleon did. OF course, Napoleon
could not have fought two enemies
400 miles apart with one army, be-
cause he could not have provided in
Simultaneous transport. Germany has
undertaken, with her system of mill
tary railroads, TO provide almost
that.
That is the lesson which seeming
ly the war in it's present stage
teaches. So long as Germany can
keep the preponderance of her forces
on that front where it is needed
most; so long as she can keep the
enemies on both fianks from effec-
lively and persistently synchroniz-
ing their blows-just so long can
Germany hope to keep up the strug-
gle, with always the chance of a de-
terminative victory at one flank that
will release the consolidated force
for conclusive round with the en-
emy on the other side.
But this is to be achieved only at
a frightful cost of men and of eco
nomic resources. Again the ques-
ton recurs, "How long,"

Pool Christmas Money Off War
Sufferers.

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
Christmas is near, and the timo is
coming when every generous person
must dig down for money for gifts to
give to family and friends. 1t would be
splendid thing if every person who
either gives or takes Christmas gifts,
would forego this time, and pool the
Christmas money for the aid Of the war
sufferers.
The benefit would not only be that
needed help would be given to the dcsti-
tute Of Europe, but the act Of doing
something for the other fellow. would
reflect on the person who made the
sacrifice, and who possessed the sentl-
ment.
Every good sentiment is Of value
though it is nothing moro than a senti-
mcnt.
in this case refraining from Christmas
giving and putting that money into
things for the sufferers abroad, will do
both things, give actual comfort, in
blankets, and shawls. and warm up the
hearts OF the senders.
