WASHINGTON FEELS
STRAIN IS RELAXED

Washington, June 14.-Official
Washington seemed TO have settled
down with an air of confidence to
await Germany's reply to President
Wilson's latest note. The president
himself went off to golf and many
cabinet members were out of the
city There was a marked relaxation
in the tensity which pervaded official
circles during the preparation of the
note and which accompanied former
Secretary Bryan's resignation.
Throughout official quarters there
was an optimistic feeling that the
United States, in its firm yet friend
ly reiteration of earnest insistence
that Germany conform TO principles
of humanity and international law,
had opened the way for Berlin to con
tinue peaceful relations.
No reply is expected for probably
two weeks, the general understanding
being that Berlin will await the ar
rival of Anton Meyer-Gerhard. spe-
cial emissary from Count Bernstorff
the German ambassador.

DEAD NUMBER 100000
Estimates Based on Great Britain's
Losses Place Total Casualties at
100000 and Indicate That BeIIlg-

Years From Beginning of War.

Tears TFOfN OCSiHtiHS W WAL
Washington, June l4.-Based on
the official statement of Premier AS
quith that Great Britain's casualties
to date amount to 25S,069, military
experts here figure that the casualties
Of all the armies involved in the Eu-
ropean war total more than 100000
men, OF this number probably 1,500,-
600 have been killed, 4,50O,000 wound
ed and the rest missing.
A large part of the men reported as
missing are military prisoners. The
statement of Great Britain's losses
shows that there are approximately
three soldiers wounded to every one
killed. Military authorities of the
United States say that a considerable
number OF patients cared for in Eu-
ropean military hospitals are return

Ii is generally believed here that
Englands losses are not as great,
proportionately as those of the other
countries involved in the conflict.
but by plorating her losses in the ar
mics of other nations the conclusion
is reached that the casualties of the
land forces are as follows: Germany
and Austria. 3,000,000; Russia, 2,500,-
600; France. 100000; Great Brit
ian, 250,000; Servia, 250,000, and
Turks, South Africans, East Africans
and Italians, 100000.
According to these figures almost
one-third of the organized war
strength of Germany, Austria. France
England, Russia, Turkey and Italy
has been dissipated.
At this rate of losses-750, 600 a
month-a simple calculation reveals
that in a little more than two years
from the beginning of the war the
entire military establishments of all
these countries as it stood on July
81, 1914, will have been wiped out
