GERMANS enter FRANCE FLEE IN DISORDER
COST OF KILLING MEN.

The cost of killing a man is OBJ
tanned by dividing the total cost of
a war to any of the belligerents by
the number of men killed on the

plus another $4O0, 100000 in interest
on the sum, loss of revenue, forced
contributions by the enemy and up

patton.
On a similar basis here are some
facts about other wars: Russo

(19O5)-Russia. 81, 1,2O0, 100000. The

that the cost of killing each man was

DROP FROM CAGE
Deadly Methods of Throwing
Bombs From Airships.
One Man Lowered From Dirig.
ible Does the Work.

London, Aug. 27.-The method used
by Zeppelin airships in dropping
bombs has been described as follows
by an English refugee. who has just
arrived here from Belgium:
The dirigible hovers over its OBJ
jective at a sufficient altitude to keep
out of range of the enemy's guns. At
the same time it lowers a steel cage
attached to a steel wire rope 1000 or
5000 feet long. This cage is divided
into compartments and it carries ono
man, whose duty it is to throw down
the bombs. The cage is sufficiently
strong to make rifle fire against it in
effective and because of it's small size
and the fact that it is kept constantly
in motion it is very difficult for heavy
guns to hit it,"
