LOSS OF WAR EXAGGERATED
Real Facts as to Mortality and Prop
erty Destruction in Six
Months Conflict.

The destruction of war is not nearly
as great as it seems, Engineering Mag
lzine states. If people do not produce,
neither do they consume, and the
man who may have been making and
spending $40 day comes down to the
81 or even to the ten cent level with
2ut particular detriment to himself or
% his similarly placed neighbors. The.
-ota' wealth of Germany is $60,500,-
100000 and even if the actual war
wastes were 100000 day this in a
whole year would amount to less than
per cent of the accumulated wealth
Of the fatherland. The average death
rate in Germany is probably 20
per 1000, or 100000 a year. XIII 10O,-
700 soldiers and you have only doubled
for one year the normal outflow. In
four years If the normal rate were
.essened from 20 to Is per cent, the
loss would be numerically made up.
The loss Of life, the loss of time, the
loss of property in six months war

the great enduring life of the nation.

the Germans have been driven back
ten miles and have lost $4,000 men in
a fierce battle which has been raging
at Arras since Friday.
Another Verdun Attack Likely.
A Berlin report says that the heavy
German siege guns have ben sent to
France. If this is so, probably the
Verdun forts along the French from
tier, which are hin6ering the German
advance, are to be attacked with them.
In this case, however, there is big
field army behind the forts, so that
while the destruo ton of them would
make progress easier for the German,
it would not absolutely insure their
advance.
Austrians Make Claims.
The Austrians claim to have driven
the Russians from Hungary with i'm
mense casualties and that the Rus
slams have been cleared from the
greater portion of the Carpathians.

Capetown, Union of South Africa
Oct. 14.-(Via London. Ut has been
officially announced here that a COM
mand under Colonel Maritz has re-
belled in the northwest cape provinces.
A state of siege, or martial law, has
been proclaimed throughout the union.
The proclamation of martial law de.
clares there is reason to believe that
the government of German Southwest
Africa is endeavo- ing to corrupt other
citizens of the union with promises of
establishment of republic in South
Africa.
Continuing, the proclamation de-
Africa is under martial law as under
stood and administered in time of war.
The proclamation is signed by Lord
Buxton, governor general of the union,
and countersigned by General Shutz,
minister of defence.
The rebellion among the forces of
the northwest Cape province has been
brewing since the resignation of Gen.
eral Beyers as commander-in-chief of
the union forces.
AS soon as the government realized
this situation, it sent Colonel Brits to
relieve Maritz of his command. Col
onel Brits then discovered that Ma
ritz was commanding German troops
as well as his own, and that he had
German guns in his possession. Ma
ritz, who had been given the German
rank of General, had arrested those of
his officers and men who were unwill-
ing to join the Germans and had sent
them as prisoners of war to German
Southwest Africa
According to an official statement an
agreement was drawn up between Ma
ritz and the governor of German
Southwest Africa, guaranteeing the in
dependence Of the union as a repub-
lie, ceding Walfish bay and other par: S
of the union to the Germans, and I'M
dertaking that the Germans should in
wade the union only if Maritz asked
them to do so.
Maritz boosted that he possessed
large supplies of guns, rifles, anmuni-
ton and money obtained from the Ger
mans and that he would overrun the
whole of South Africa.
"In view of this state of affairs"
concludes the official statement, "the
government is taking drastic steps to
quell this rebellion and punish all
rebels and traitors according to their
deserts

nv HERRERT TEMPLE.

OF International News Service staff.
London, Oct. 13.-The opening of
the eleventh week of the war finds
Germany holding all the advantage.
She has gained in both the western
and eastern theaters of war. The Ger
mans still hold the strong positions to
which they retired along the Aisne,
and the capture of Antwerp has great
ly strengthened their lines in both Bel
GUM and France.
In the eastern theater of hostilities
the Germans have penetrated Poland
as far as Vistula, and, while the Rus
sian government has laid claim to i'm
portant victories in the Sulwalki dis
trict, when the history of the war is
written it probably will be found that
these successes did not mean so much
as the Russian general staff has tried
to make out.
An unprejudiced, calm survey of the
situation in it's entirety cannot fail but
see an advantage for Germany so far
as the war has gone. Belgium is pros
trate and Germany is still the invader
in both France and Russia. The pres
ent week is expected to see an in
crease in activity in northwestern Bel
GUM, especially in the vicinity of Os-
tend. Client, so far as known, is still
held by the allies, but the Germans
are now in position to concentrate a
heavy force against it, and it Is feared
that it will soon be in possession of
the Germans.
With the Germans holding port
such as Client, it would be impossible
for the allies to attempt flank-turn-
ing movement. The French and Brit
ish would have to make a frontal at
tack against the strongly fortified
lines of the Germans.
