Record of Losses
 First Year of War

Only approximately accurate tables of the killed, wounded and missing in the first year of the war are possible, because France and Russia and Austria-Hungary do not give out their figures, while Germany has changed her policy recently to one of secrecy. Great Britain still tells her losses from month to month.
 The following estimates are be. lieved to give a fairly correct idea of the casualties:

Ignorance of productin and pos

COMMUNICATIONS

In periods Of public discussion, the
letter-writer is always abroad in the
land The columns Of The Herald and
every public journal in the country are
open TO the expression Of individual
views and opinions, provided they are
Of public interest, couched in printable
and decent terms, and within the lin
its OF the space at the disposal Of
such newspapers.
A certain type of letter writer, how
ever, received brief editorial attention
by he Springfield Republican, in re-
cent issue, which may be Of interest to
those who make business of sending
what might be called circular letters
10 Vermont newspapers.
In refusing a request to publish Ger
tain communications the Republican
says
'The communication inclosed by his
correspondent which takes the New
York Tribune TO task because of its
treatment Of President Wilson, should
be printed in the Tribune, il any
where; if that newspaper refuses to
allow its longtime reader to state de-
Gently and courteously his views in its
columns, the issue is one between him
and the Tribune editor. We feel con-
strained, consequently, to leave un-
used the other letter he sent and trus.
that he will not regard this act as, in
any sense, a mark of discourtesy."
Probably all Vermont editors have
had similar experience. The sub
scriber to local paper addresses
some communication thereto which is
declined on what seems perhaps to be
insufficient reasons. Immediately !
thereafter the subscriber rushcs to the
postofice with a similar communiea-
ton addressed to the nearest Compel
tor or daily paper circulating in his
field, and demands publication. In
many cases it is cheaper and easier
TO publish the protest than to write .
and explain the papers position. The
practice Is, however, unfair to the
local newspaper and should not be
encouraged
Another type Of correspondent Sc
cures the publication Of his views in
his local newspaper and, believing
them to be of statewide Importance,
sends clippings broadcast, throughout
the state, demanding that editors shall
give up space thereto.
Sometimes the clipping is of pub
lie interest outside Of the local field
but generally not. If any editor were
to refuse the request 20 publish such
a communication, he would immedi
ately be accused Of attempting to
throttle a free expression Of opinion.
The Herald welcomes communica-
tons on any topic of public interest
addressed TO he editor by readers or
subscribers, but viii not promise to
print long extracts from other news
papers reprints Of letters which have
elsewhere, or any communi-
cation Of private or malicious char.
acter.
This rule will even be stretched TO b
include letters from heads of state or
CARNATIONS or other individuals who s
desire to address the Herald readers i
in proper way, but the line will be
drawn on communications which take :.
up an undue amount of space.-The +
