TWO MILLION MEN LOST
FIGHTING NATIONS HAVE

Even the most exaggerated predic-
tons made when the European war
began regarding the number of men
that would be called into the conflict
and the tremendous losses that would
accompany it have been borne out.
Estimates of the killed. wounded and
missing in the war so far place them
IN the neiehborhood of 100000.
Events now show that the nations at
war have men under arms or at the
battle fronts as follows:
Russia 100000. Germany 100000.
France 100000. Austria 100000
England 100000. Servia 100000. Japan
100000. Belgium 100000. Montenegro

Fedge that we were defeated not by
Eluck, but by the better team. The
fighting finish of the Boston players,
who worked their way to the world S
championship from the very foot of the
National league, has called forth the
admiration of good sportsmen every
where, and the first to extend the hand
of frank congratulation to the win
ners should be those who entered with
them into the final contests for suprem-
acy For the Athletics there is no
shame or blame in losing. They did
their best. They did not quit nor fal-
ter. Philadelphia is proud of THEN
brave though losing battle, and stands
unitedly behind Connie Mack and the
Athletics for the recapture of the
championship next year.
This is what Connie Mack is reported
to have said: 81 am sorry that l cannot
congratulate Stalhngs. He has too
much of the Jack Johnson style. He
