Russia and Italy. Her expenditures
will reach $4,000, 100000 and her prop
erty loss another billion.
France has expended another 3d.
100000 and also has suffered bill
lion in damages by reason of the de-
struction of property by the German
invasion.
The lesson taught by the first year
of the great European war, experts
and peace advocates point out, is that
Germany, by reason of her complete
preparedness, has suffered less in pro-
portion than any nation engaged in
the conflict.
Adequate military and naval prep
aration in this country, it is pointed
out, would mean that no nation or
combination of nations in the world
could menace the United States with
in her own borders.
The losses in men of the European
powers, as near as can be computed,
are as follows:
Russia, killed 100000, wounded g.
100000, captured 100000, total 4,500,-
900.
Germany, killed 100000, wounded
900,O00,e captured 100000, total 1,S00,-
900.
France, killed $4,000, wounded 1885,
900, captured 100000, total 1,3S0,000.
Austrian Losses
Austria, killed 100000; wounded
785,000, captured 100000, total 1885,
900.
England, killed 10000; wounded 2OO,-
0, captured $4,000, total $4,000.
Belgium, killed $4,000, wounded 150,-
900, captured $4,000, total 245.OO0.
Italy, killed 10000, wounded $780,
900, captured 10000, total 100000.
The losses of Turkey, Servia and
Japan in the war cannot be accurately
estimated.
A general estimate of the segregated
losses of the two factions at war
would seem to be total loss for the
allies of 100000 killed, 100000
wounded and 100000 captued.
The Teuton and Turk losses are es-
timated at total of 100000 killed,
100000 wounded and 100000 cap
tured.

ITALY'S HEAVY GUNS AMAZE
ENEMY BY RAPIDITY OF FIRE

ROME, Aug. Am official note
published by the war office describes
at length the operations on the Carso
plateau. 1t says among other things
that in the bloody engagements of the
last fey days the heavy artillery of
the Italians gave the best results.
The trenches taken were invariably
found to be full of dead, and the eff
fective cooperation of the artillery
and the infantry caused the failure of
the Austrian offensive undertaken with
fresh troops &c few days ago.
A Hungarian officer who was taken
prisoner is quoted as expressing the
amazement of the Austrian high COM
mand at the Italian field-gun fire. It's
rapidity resembles the fire of the
mitrailleuses.
The note says the friendship be-
tween the officers and the troops is
most touching, and the presence of
the king on the firing line is respon-
sible for many acts of heroism.

CLOSING OF FIRST YEAR
OF WAR TEACHES LESSON
EXPERTS and PEACE ADVOCATES POINT OUT THAT NATIONS
THAT WERE PREPARED SUFFERED LESS Than OTHERS
Cost Of Struggle Money Estimated at Nearly $6OOOOO With Loss
245S1 Men Killed. About the Same Number Wounded and Over
100000 Captured Difficult to Estimate Property Loss

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-With the
first year of the war closing Aug. 1 in
shattered Europe, the staggering to-
tails are being computed by war ex-
perts here, and form the greaest plea
for national preparedness the world
has ever known. 1t is to prepare
money of war like this that Ameri-
cans are being urged today
The estimate places the total death
list of all armies at 2,475,9S1, the cap
tured in the neighborhood of the same
figure, and the wounded at 100000.
This is total loss in men of nearly
100000
The cost of the war in money is
placed at nearly $6O,OOO,0OO,OO0
Industries Crippled
Great Britain, who has financed the
war for the allies, is stated to have
expended over $5,O00,O00,O0O to date.
Though many of her industries have
been seriously crippled, others have
been created because of the war, and
it is difficult to estimate what her
loss has been in this regard, probably
not more than a billion dollars.
Wonderful Showing
Germany is estimated to have ex-
pended $5,000,000,000 for war, a por-
ton of which was spent before hostil7
tiles began-which fact has enabled
her to make the wonderful showing
and retain the advantage that she
has. Germany's perfect preparedness
has made her able virtually to hold
the world at bay, for the British block
ade has held her to an existence on
her own resources.
The Russian losses have been heavi-
est in men. Since the halt of the
German drive into France, Russia has
borne the brunt of the allies fighting
Russia has expended $4,000, 100000 and
has suffered property losses aggre-
eating 5000, 100000. 81
Italy, whose recent entry into the
war has shortened her period of ac-
tivity, already has made an outlay of
more than $4,000,000,0OO, most of
which was in advance preparation.
Austria has suffered terribly in prop
erty damage, having been invaded by

u. OF C. EXPERTS WILL
INSTRUCT FRUIT GROWERS

POMONA, Aug. "a notable gath
ering of citrus growers and experts is
promised here Aug. 8 to Is, when the
University of California will conduct
school of instruction for them. 1t
will be the only school of the kind
held in the South this year and will
attract leaders of this important indus
try from all citrus-growing districts
The school will present a combination
of scientific and practical instruction,
dealing particularly with fumigation.
Observation studies will be held in
the groves and laboratories, which will
be especially fitted for the work.
AS far as possible all of the facts
set forth in the lectures will be illus
trated by practical experiments. The
course will include experimental study
of the cyanide processes both in the
laboratory and orchard. This will be-
gin Monday afternoon and continue
under observation through the remain
der of the course.
On three evenings after the lectures
there will be trips to orchards to study
fumigation practices. On three morn
ings the exercises will open with lee
lures on scale insects, and on three
afternoons there will be lectures on
fumigating materials. There will be
very full studies of tent materials,
leakage and gas generation proper
ties of different fumigation materials.
Throughout the course questions and
answers will be in order
Thus there will be offered a world
of valuable information for every cit
rus grower.

SUPREMACY OF TORPEDO
IN WARFARE is SHOWN

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 3.-The tor
pedo is still supreme in naval war
fare. This was demonstrated when a
steel caisson, made of the same armor
plate used, it is said, in the construc-
ton of the dreadnaughts Arizona and
Pennsylvania, were sunk when a mine
was exploded under it.
The experiment was conducted in
the Elizabeth river at the extreme end
of the navy yard and about 700 feet
south of the pier where the German
auxiliary cruisers Ethel Friedrich and
Kronprinz Wilhelm are moored.
The test was witnessed by a special
navy board appointed by Secretary
Daniels. The naval board was com
posed of Lieutenant Commander DE
Frees and Lieutenants Schuyler and
Smith.

GREAT FUTURE SEEN FOR

IN MARKETING LARGE CROP
States Lemon Orchards in Ten Years
Will Produce More Than Are

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.
Aug. 3.-The outlook for lemons and

marketing the increasingly large
crops, methods of meeting foreign
competition and progress in making
by-productS were discussed at the for
ty-sixth annual convention of the Cali

CALIFORNIA;. lemon orchards in ten
years will produce more lemons than
are consumed at present in this coun-
try, G. w. Hosford, manager of the
San Dimas, CAL, Lemon association,
predicted
"Of the $4,000 acres of lemon or
chards in California, over half are not
in bearing, and, assuming that the old
goves continue their present produc-
ton and that the young groves pro-
duce as heavily, we shall be producing
within eight or ten years more lem
ons than are consumed at present in
this country.
Under the reduced tariff we have
found the competition with Sicilian
lemons hard to meet in the Eastern
markets.
DuTlng the next lew years the elm
nation of the imported lemon must be
accomplished in order to market the
increased crop which the larger
amount of young acreage promises.
with increased quality and produc-
ton through better methods of cul-
ture and through the selection of i'm
proved strains of our present varie-
ties; with the utilization of waste culls
for by-products and the consequent i'm
provement in the quality of the fruit
shipped; with improved methods of
handling and preparing for market,
and with wider advertising, the pro-
gressive lemon grower of California
feels that he can meet competition
with foreign fruit and still produce
lemons at profit in the years to
come"

GREAT BRITAIN YIELDS TO
UNITED STATES DEMANDS
is PREPARED TO MAKE CONCES.
SlONS TO GOVERNMENT
Promises to Modify Order Prohibiting
the Shipment From Germany or
Austria of Goods Bought by
American Merchants

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-England
will yield to the demands of America
in regard to neutral shipping, at least
to certain degree.
Britain has notified the department
of state that she is prepared to make
certain concessions which she hopes
will remove the strain between the
two governments.
One of the most important conces-
sions to be offered will be the follow
ing:
Great Britain will modify her order
prohibiting the shipment out of Ger
many or Austria of goods bought by
Americans. The original order de-
clared June 1 as the last day on which
these shipments could be taken out
The time was later extended to June
rs. Great Britain will lift this order
completely from certain classes OF
goods, list of which will be an.
nounced later.
The state department expects this
proposition to be made in the new
note which Britain is preparing and
which will probably be here by the
first of next week.
In addition, the state department ex.
poets England to reafhrm her previous
promise, to do everything in her power
to expedite the consideration of cases
of American cargoes and vessels in
her prize courts, and probably to pro-
pose course for American owners to
follow to obtain speedy action.
Ambassador Gerard was directed to-
day to call to the attention of the Ger
man government statements made I'M
der oath in England by persons arrest
ed as German spies that they had been
supplied with forged American pass
ports by German officials.
Action of the American government
was based on sworn testimony of sew
eral alleged German spies apprehend-
ed by the British authorities, and
statements of Americans whose genu-
inc passports are alleged to have been
forged. Ambassador Gerard is direct
ed to seek an explanation of that por-
tion of testimony in several cases
which appears to make agents of the
German government responsible for
the forgeries.

GERMANS USE WAR FLYER
INVISIBLE AT 5000 FEET

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Germany has a
new aeroplane which is practically in
visible at 5000 feet and quite invisible
at the height of 5000 feet to the naked
eye, according to an article in the
Cologne Gazette just received here.
The invisibility, it is said, is oh.
tanned by covering the planes of the
Taubes with 'fcellon'' instead of the
usual canvas. "Cellon" is explained
to be the invention of a German en-
gineer named Knaubel. 1t is a chem
ical combination of cellulose and acetie
acid, which makes it exceedingly
tough, transparent, pliable and non
inflammable. The new machines are
already in use, it is said.

will call a special session of congress
in October to take up the matter OF

1t is not believed that Secretaries
Garrison and Daniels can have their

It is believed that conditions and
