WAR NEWS IN BRIEF,

Russian announcements of de-
feats of the Germans are dis
puted today by the Berlin war
Office, which states that the at
tacks of the invading armies in
: Poland have made progress. and
that strong Russian assaults have
been repelled. No mention is
made, however, of the situation in
Galicia, where the Russians are
described as having inflicted a
severe defeat on the Austro-Ger-
man forces.
The French campaign for re-
possession of its lost province of
Alsace, one of the first objectives
Of the armies of the republic after
the outbreak of the war, appar-
entity is making progress. The
unofficial reports last night that
the allies were shelling Muelhau-
sen are supplemented today by
the statement of the French war
Office that the town of Steinbach,
Upper Alsace, has been invested.
In France and in Belgium the
fighting drags on with small VIC
tories for each side. The German
official announcement tells of the
capture of French trench in a
burned forest west of Apremont.
The French statement admits the
temporary loss of this trench, but
adds that it was retaken later
after three counter attacks. Both
Paris and Berlin mention minor
gains with violent fighting at va
rious points. The French state
ment says that the allies have
captured the Belgian town of St
Georges, around which heavy en-
counters have been in progress
for some time.

Wants Banks Status Fixed.

1t is recommended by Controller Will
liams that the status of savings banks
in the District of Columbia be definite
ly fixed. by requiring compliance with
specific laws of the United States If
they are to be permitted to engage in
the banking business in the District of
Columbia. The legal status of such in
stitutions now doing business In the
District, in his opinion, is anomalous.
Such savings banks are chartered
under the laws of states in which
they do no business and are amenable
in a very limited way to the laws OF
the District and Of the United States.
"it is true that they are examined by
national bank examiners, and II found
to be insolvent receiver may be ap-
pointed, but there are practically no
provisions of law regulating the char
acter Of Investments to he made or
governing the conduct of their bank
ing operations," he says.

YOUNGSTERS TOCOAST
UNDER EYES Of POLICE
Men Will Be Stationed at Certain
Hills to Be Designated
for Sport.

Coasting under police supervision is
the sport promised Washington boys
and girls this winter.
With the view of minimizing the dan
gers attendant upon this form Of out
door recreation, Mai. Richard Sylvester,
superintendent of police, has decided to
designate certain hills removed from
congested traffic and street car lines
+, for coasting. and to detail officers to
see that the sport is enjoyed under
proper restrictions.
Given a Free Hand.
Mai. Sylvester was instructed by the
Commissioners today to take whatever
action he deemed necessary for the pro-
lection of coasters.
In view of the small number of avail
able policemen who may be detailed to
such duty, it will be impossible for the
police department to designate a large
number OF hills where the bobsleds
may be called into action, but those that
are selected will be in various sections
of the city, so that the sport may be
generally enjoyed.
Plans for New Year Eve.
Maj. Sylvester has completed plans for
the detailing of additional men to the
business section New Year eve While
there is no intention Of interfering with
the holiday frolickers as long as the
merrynaking is kept within reasonable
bounds, the police will be given instruc-
tions to prohibit the slightest show of
rowdyism.

COSTs1S,OOOTO S2O,OOO
To KILL SINGLE SOLDIER IN WAR
ACCORDING TO FIGURES.
Calculated on the Basis of Expense
and the Number OF Fatalities
of Three Recent Wars.

of Three Recent wars.
The cost of killing a man is OBJ
tanned by dividing the total cost OF
war to any of the belligerents by
the number of men killed on the
other side.
In 1870-1871 France spent $400,-
coo, 600 in the actual expenses of the
war. Repairing materials and Civ
ing succor to the victims of the war,
expenses that are justly to be added,
cost another s2O0,0OO,OO0. France
paid $1,000, 100000 as war indem-
nifty, plus another $500, 100000 in
interest on the sum, loss OF revenue,
forced contributions by the enemy
and upkeep of the German army Of
occupation. The third category of
expenses, not being inevitable in all
wars, cannot properly be included.
On a similar basis here are some
facts about other wars, compiled by
General Percia in La Science ct la
Vie:
Russo-Turkish war 1877-1878)-
Turkey, $4OO,OOO,OOO.
Russo-Japanes war (1905)-
Russia, 81 ,2OO,OOO,OOO.
The number of men killed or who
died Of wounds in these wars were:
Franco-P russian war-Germans,
2S,6OO.
Russo-Turkish war - Russians,
5000.
Russo-Japanese war-Japanese,
$500.
Whence it results that the cost of
killing each man was as follows:
In 187O-1871, $4,000.
In 1877-1S78, $4,000.
In 1905, $4,000.
What will kill the greatest num-
Der and reduce the effective force
most will not be the rife or cannon,
but fatigue, typhus or cholera.
In 1870 $4,000 Germans entered
the hospitals. Although they did not
die of their illnesses they we're more
the less made useless for a certain
time. In the Crimean war the allied
armies lost four times as many men
through disease as were killed in
battle. This proportion was 8 to /
among the Russians in 1877-1S7S; it
was only ! to 2 among the japanese
in Manchuria, thanks to their excel
ient hygiene.
