When the great war began, the Kaiser was reported to have said that he would sacrifice 100, 900 men, if necessary, to win. An Amsterdam despatch says that the Dutch papers admits that al- ready the losses of the "central powers" " are approximately 5,000,0OO men, and that Prussia's losses alone, up to Octo- Der 20, are 2,021,07 And the Teutonic Allies have not yet won, and are apparently no nearer winning than when the war started.

Hunting Ahead for Trouble.

A nine-hour work day has generally prevailed in the machine shops of the country for some years. Stimulated by the eight-hour successes of workers on war orders in munition plants ma chinists in order plants not so crowded with business are striking for the shorter day. Their employers say that on this basis it will be impossible to complete with Europe after the war ex- cept under higher tariff.
 The protected manufacturers are hunting trouble far ahead. What will happen after the war can be guessed by others as well as by themselves. It cannot be known with any precision by anybody Europe scourged by the Black Death found labor so scarce that laws were enacted in many cases to keep wages down. Europe scourged by great war is more likely to be troubled by high costs of production than by pauper-labor costs.
 The eight-hour controversy will have to be settled on its merits under exist ing and not under unknown future con- ditions of work and wages. If present day for a nine-hour day is fair. then the same pay will be fair for an eight hour day if production per man does not fall off, as the strikers say it will not. Otherwise it will inevitably prove that the men have gained their shorter day only at the expense of re- duced employment York World.

Letters From the People
A Bouquet for President Wilson.
, the Editor of The News :

To the Editor of The News:
 see by the pape's that our esteemed president, MT. Wilson. the other day opened cabinet meeting by praying, himself and requesting the members to join ill with him and he said, "I dent know as you men believe in this but do." Now l will say this about MT. Wilson's religious fervOr, think it is a safer and much better brand to lean upon than the German Kaisers, and that it will be so accepted by the Ruler of all things, for the Kaiser only cares for the aggrandizement of himself and family; his aspirations are the same as those of Alexander the Great. to Napoleon Bonaparte. He don't care how much misery he creates for her people of the world, or how many of his subjects are slaughtered, if he only can accomplish the dream of his great. ness and I will say that, that Presi- dent Wilson, has had the most trouble some and irritating administration Of any President that we ever had, and I will say that I am one of the many that believes our president is sincerely and earnestly doing aud striving for what he considers will De for the safety, prosperity and the best good of the American people.
 Very truly yours,
 Charles A. Harris.

"The Kings at Prayer ,"

 "The Kings at Prayer!' Prayeth the King for the fallen ones Mothers that mourn OCT war-slain
 sons? God cannot hear him for the guns! For the homes, grief hidden and far
 away From graves that gloom in the morning

 the sod The prayers of millions rise to God; The pleadings of a stricken land To stay the sword in the war-king's
 hand;
 To give the Poor of the Kingdom place, Bowed in ashes before Gods face; And these be the prayers the high God hears
 Sweet as the music of singing spheres; And the stricken shall rise before God s
 eyes
 From a war-made world of tears and sighs While judgment falls in the darkness there
