THE CASUALTIES

Edft0rially on sunday, the salt
Lake Tribune sums up the dead and
wounded in the present European
conflict as follows:
From Copenhagen comes word that
Germany is mourning 100000 dead In
the war. AS Copenhagen has been
the center for much reliable informa-
ton out of Berlin the report may be
accepted as authentic. 1t is appall-
ing to contemplate what this means.
Usually the proportion of dead to
wounded in modern warfare is one
t. four or five. and this 1oes not
lane into account those who are rem
dered unserviceable as soldiers by
reason of sickness. In other words,
Germany loss In single month of
warfare has been at least 100000.
Presumably this applies to the fight
ing In East Prussia, on the sea and
In Belgium and France. Even the
gigantic army Of $500, 900 men which
the kaiser sent into France must
have been greatly weakened by such
losses.
Out of every 100000 population
there are only possible 10000 sol
diers. Salt Lake City could not sup
ply more than $4,000 men in case
OF war. In trifle more than thirty
days Germany has lost in killed and
wounded all the soldiers that could
be obtained from a population of s.
100000. In the next thirty days the
losses are liable to be much heavier.
From the standpoint OF the German
general STAFF, however. the loss may
not be considered excessive for the
ground that has been gained. All of
northern France Is overrun and the
loss of the allies probably has been
100000 out OF perhaps 100000. or
course these figures are merely guess
work and do not signify that the Ger
mans have 100000 or the allies l.
100000 men actually on the firing
line. War requires myriads back of
the firing line to run the machinery.
The German general staff probably
would consider the sacrifice of l.
900 men worth while il the arm
ies OF the allies in France and Belgi-
UNI could be destroyed. Germany
would still have cast army left for
operations against Russia. II the
French forces go to pieces the princi-
pal losses will be in captured armies.
A conQuering army can hold IA van
pushed and disarmed nation with an
almost negligible force.
Assuming, however, that the French
armies will remain intact Tor sever
al months more, the scale viii grad

present time Germany Is at her max
imum strength. IN two moaths nor

With France the situation is diner

the field all OF her first reserves aud
perhaps many of her second reserves
She is strong In first resolves. weak
in second, whereas Germany IS strong
in first reserves and much stronger
in second.
In view of this situation and the
progress Of the war SO far the fate
of France might Justly be considered
as sealed but for the fact that she

POEMS ON THE WAR
The poets are already singing their
war songs and appeals.
Llegs
BY Stephen Phillips
He said: Thou petty people, let me
pass.
What canst thou do but bow to me
and kneel?"
But sudden dry land caught fire
like grass,
And answer hurtled but from shell
and steel.
He, looked for silence, but thunder
came
Upon him, from Liege a leaden hail.
All Belgium flew up at his throat in
flame
Till at her gates amazed his legions
quail.
Take heed, for now on haunted
ground they tread;
There bowed mightier war lord to
his hall;
Fear! Lest that very green grass
again grow red
With blood of German now as then
with Gaul.
II him whom God destroys He mad
dens first,
Then thy destruction slake thy mad
mans thirst.
.-Cabled to New York Times
Robert Bridges. the poet Laureate
of England, wrote the following fol
the London Times:
Thou Careless, Awakel
BY Robert Bridges
Thou careless, awake!
Thou peacemaker, fight!
Stand. England. for honor.
And God guard the right.
Thy mirth lay aside.
Thy cavil and play.
The foe 10 upon thee
And grave Il the day.
The monarch Ambition
Has hArnessed his slaves.
But the folk Of the ocean
Are free as the waves.
For peace, thou art armed.
Thy freedom to hold, M
Thy courage as iron, fN'"' a Z
Thy good4aith as gold.
Z Through fire, air and water
Thy trial must be,
But they that love life best
Die gladly for thee.
The love of their mothers
Is strong to command,
The fame Of their fathers
Is might to their hand
Much suffering shall cleanse thee,
But thou through the food
Shalt win to salvation.
To beauty through blood.

Praise for the Dear Departed.

Uncle Cy was So years old when he
died. He had made a lot of money,
and had devoted his entire life to a
spectacular and desperate system Of
never letting go Of a nickel. His rep
utation as tightwad and a skinflint
was so gorgeous and brilliant that its
effulgence lit up all New England and
cast a powerful glow as far south as
Tennessee and as far west as Mime
sofa. When it came to stinginess he
was the original gold-medal old guy.
At last he died and the family spat-
tered around lot of money to pay for
his funeral and to lay him out in state.
On such occasions in New England
it is customary for everybody to say
something nice about the dear depart
ed. This time, however, the neighbors
merely looked on in silence.
At last an old man in whose veins
the milk Of human kindness rippled
and pumped and roared, took his stand
beside the casket and lifted up his
voice in eulogy to Uncle Cy.
"Cy's gone now," he said, "and I'll
say this for him: He was always good

Disappointed.

President Wilson has a fund OF
stories. One that he tells is OF little
boy whom he encountered at Staunton,
Va, the presidents birthplace. Mr..
Wilson was speaking to a good-sized
crowd from the steps Of the Baldwin
seminary for girls. when he discovered
little 7-year-old lad pushing and
showing his way through the crowd.
The boy finally landed in front Of Mr.
Wilson and shouted excitedly:
where is 1t? Where is TT"
Mr.. Wilson stopped his speech and
with broad smile, said good natured
ly:
well, my boy. l guess I'm It."
"Oh! pshaw!" responded the young
ster, with look OF disgust, why,
thought It was dog fight.

"All right, all right" said Wilson,
and, grabbing some clothes in one

There he looked at the huge volume
in his arms. 1t was the city directory.

Long time ago the deer had no horns,
and the top of his head was as smooth
as the does head is today. He was a
good-natured fellow, who liked to
show all of the other animals how fast
he could run and how far he could
Jump.
Now. the rabbit was also a great
runner and a good jumper. and he
liked to tell about what he could do
whenever he could get anyone to
listen.
One day the rabbit was smiling
around Mamma Bear, as she was
taking the last of the corn cakes out
of the fire. and begging for some Of
the hot and crisp pieces OF the edge.
Give me two pieces. and will
show you that l can jump clean over
your fire." said the rabbit.
II declare" said Mamma Bear, IF
you don't stop bothering me Ill pick
you up and hold you over the fire until
all Of your fur is singed off!"
Catch me first!" said the rabbit,
and ran away to see what other mis-
chief he could get into. After the
rabbit ran of. Mamma Bear sat down
and thought out plan to stop the
rabbit from boasting any more OF his
speed. She folded up her apron and
went to call on the Great Beaver.
Il think we ought to FIX up a race
between the rabbit and the deer" said
Mamma Bear. "and offer a grand prize
to the one who wins. II we do that, !
know that the deer will beat, and |
won't have to listen to Mr.. Rabbit talk

"And know just the right prize to
offer to the one who WINS" said the
