5000, ,ooo MEN LOST.

It is possible now, after more than idea of what the struggle is costing the nations in their chief asse4-men Accuracy, of course, is impossible. The best way we can do is to take what definite figures have been giv- en by the belligerents and piece them out according to the probabilities.
 Let us try to estimate the casual ties-the killed, wounded and missing of all the belligerents for the first 100 days of fighting. Take Germany first. Her losses have been greatest, because of her many enemies, and because of the recklessness with which the Germans risk their lives in battle.
 Official German lists give the casual ties up to the first week in October as 5O9,00O. We shall have to add to that all the officers and men wound ed, killed or captured in the fight ing around Antwerp, in the furious assaults afterward on the French English trenches along the Yser, in the costly operations in Flanders, near the coast, where the fiercest struggle of the war has occurred, and the ill-fated invasion of Poland, with the rout at Warsaw and the subse- quent retreat. Let us say conserva- lively that the German losses in the 100 days fighting amount to 900,000.
 Next in severity come the Austrian losses, inflicted chiefly by the Rus- sians. No official report has been made. Private advices, purporting to be copied from army reports, declare that the Austrian army operating against Servia had lost 148,000 men up to November 1, and the army op- erating against the Russians in Cali cia and Poland had lost over 752,000. making a total of 90O,OO0. This is possibly exaggerated. We shall prob ably be safe in figuring the total Aus trian casualties at 100000 for the 100 days, however, particularly in view of the heavy losses suffered in Po- land and the Carpathians since Mo- vember 1.
 It is impossible to get at the losses of the French army, in the absence of official admissions. Germany claims to have nearly 100000 French pris- oners in her concentration camps. If we add to that number, say 300.000 killed and wounded, which seems mod

BUILDING OF PETR0GRAD.
tter tho Greats Ruthless Methods In
 Erecting the Capital.

bter tho Greats Ruthless Methods In
 Erecting the Capital.
 Most disadvantageously situated of all the capitals of Europe-indeed, of the world-Petrograd is a monument of the pride and energy of Peter the Great. He wanted European capi- tai in order to signalize and immor- talize his conquests. In 170S, when the first foundations of the city were laid on the marshy island on the delta of the Neva. at the eastern end of the gulf of Finland. the surrounding ter ritory had even then not been entirely conquered.
 Peter went to work with his usual energy and with his usual ruthless ness to create capital in what was worse than a desert. He himself su> perintended the building of the city and gave the directions of the details to half dozen lieutenants. The work was pushed with almost incredible rapidity. so that by 1712 sufficient ad- vance had been made to permit the transfer of the imperial family from Moscow.
 One measure ordered by Peter was that thousands of peasants must set tie in or near the new capital. spe- cial tax was put on his empire to meet the expenses of building the city. Such a small difficulty as the scarcity of masons was nothing to man like Peter the Great. He simply forbade the erection of stone buildings any. where else in the empire until Petr0- grad was 6nished.-New York Times.

Tho Struoole,

The road to eminence and power from an obscure condition ought not to be made too easy nor thing too much of course. If rare merit be the rarest of all things it ought to pass through some sort of probation. The temple of honor ought to be seated on an eminence. If it be open through virtue let it be remembered. too, that virtue is never tried but by some diff culty and some struggle.-Burke.

AARTWELL BACK
 IN HIS RACER
Says Loop Route is Hard Stan Murphy Also Makes Trip in Mercer-5S Min utes Reputed Time of the Prescott Stutz Entry

F. A. Hartwell, who will drive Cy Byrne's Buick in the Prescott Loop race returned from a trial trip over the course yesterday with a huge re- spect for the difficulties of the race and a huge respect for the ability of Jack Smiths No. to negotiate the SS mile mountain road.-
 Improvements on the loop consist in new bridges being built for a reclama- ton project, and the smoothing of some of the worst washes, caused by the copious rains. But the road is go- ing to be a supreme test for car, just the same" he. averred.
 StanWood Murphy, who will drive his own Mercer roadster-said to be the fastest thing on wheels in the state made the trip with Hartwell Both cars were pointed around the loop four times
 We didn't get a single lin, on the Prescott entries" said Murphy. The Stutz, we saw whisking around a cor ner but it was not visible when we did our trial laps"
 It is reputed that this Stutz has made the A mile course in 5S minutes, but this is not directed by local drivers. Hartwell says that fifty eight minutes will win the race and leave the victor much valuable time to spare. He, however, will try to shave that time as closely as possible.

PHOENIX RIFLE : CLUB MAY W|N
Local Shots Within Strik- ing Distance of Pennant in Pacific Coast Rifle League - Prospects Are Bright for Victory

In the fourth match of the telegraph series of the Pacific Coast league of which organization the Phoenix Rifle club is a member, the Phoenix club was again victorious, beating the Los Angeles bunch by d margin of ten points.
 Phoenix score was S36.
 Los Angeles score was S26
 This was considered the greatest victory of the season because Los Angeles has an exceptionally fine bunch of shots, and has a record any club might be proud of Since their organization several years ago they have only been defeated but once and that was by the Badger Rifle club of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is admitted to be the best bunch of rifle shots in the United States and this is not the only thing they are good at coming from the section of the country they do. You know it comes in brown bottles.
 Well, now, Los Angeles has been beaten again, Secretary E. C. Cross 
 had some out of the same bottle. Things are looking pretty bright for the Phoenix boys. They have won every match this year and it looks like they are going to get the P. c. L. pennant medals.
 Since the Phoenix club has been organized it has never forfeited a match and has only lost one and that was practically given away as only three of the regular team entered which made it necessary for three new men to shoot.
 The Phoenix Rifle club now holds all of the medals, cups and trophies that are open for club competition and have them down at Hilderbran s jewelry store getting them polished up for exhibition.
