i OF these battles. No one knows
who the dead are in most instances.
The men were laid to their ever
lasting rest side by side without
any headstone except general
monument bearing an Inscription
telling to what regiments and COM
panies the men belonged.
In tho German Army every man
Is numbered. and in that way he
is readily identified, even by strnn-
gers. All one has to do Is to look
up the name. and address in the
number book.
In the hot days Of August many
of the soldiers were burned on
funeral pyres. It was easier to get
rid OF them that way and It was
absolutely necessary for the life of
the remainder Of the men that the
dead be disposed Of as quickly as
possible.
Now with winter on the dead can
be kept Indefinitely. They are
buried we'll as a rule. 1t matters
not II the men are of the enemy or
of the colors of the burying squad.
a decent buriai is given to all.
While some of the men of the
warning nations are engaged in
burying the dead, others are invent
ing more machinery to make war
more destructive. Every great war
has witnessed now inventions Of de-
structiveness. Our own Civil War
saw the invention OF the Monitor.
The War in 1912 saw the steel
lighting ship take the place OF the
old wooden ships. This war has
seen the 42-centimeter guns tried
out with success.
According to Nilsola Tesla this
war has already cost more than a.
100000 men in dead and disabled.
Without a scientist to invent sotne

end OF some of the battles. The men
fought in close formation and
charged into the mouths Of the

dead. Soldiers buried their com

ings with perfect confidence. There
are now only three possible issues of
this war: First, collapse of Austria;
second, conquest OF England by the
Germans, and, third, Germany's ex-
haustion and defeat.
srhe fall OF Austria Is Inevitable
and must occur within the next few
months. It may defy German influ-
efice and sue independently for
peace to save itself, but. 1t As doubt

Regarding the second possibility.

and further developments must he

many Indications that Germany Is

a million two hundred thousand
men fought six months, then H.
100000 men will fight FIVE years.
Even though this be but a rough
approximation, It is sufficient to
show that, barring some extraor-
binary development, this war will
be a long war.
Indeed, 1t seems on purely scien-
tiflc grounds that a conflict on such,
a vast scale can only be ended by
exhaustion. The enormous extent
OF the battle front, owing to num-
bers and attendant impossibility
OF striking a decisive blow Is in
further support of this theory. It
Is also highly significant to observe
in this connection how the original
battle lines. determined in advance
by strategy, have been gradually
shifted and Strengthened, contact
between the fighting masses being
firmly established on lines fixed by
natural law and brute force OF
push in defiance OF military design.
The likelihood of such termination
is increased by The fact that the
disturbance extends over an inn
nense area, making the supply of
necessities to some of the affected
regions exceptionally difficult.
Accepting, then. this theory as
correct, we arc justified in expect
ing that, conditions remaining
normal. the struggle will last more
or less according to the FORM the
exhaustion may take. Lack of
food. deterioration and shortage of
equipment, want OF metals, chemi-
calls and ammunition, scarcity of
ready capital, falling supply OF
trained men or sheer giving out OF
human energy are some OF the ele-
,nents TO be reckoned with, any, one
of which may compel an early ces-
sation Of hostilities. That the war
cannot be continued much longer
with its present Intensity can be
easily shown.

After the recent German victory
over the French across the river
from Scissors. news dispatches from
Berlin received by wireless four
days after the close OF the engage
nent, said 1000 Landsturm had
been engaged in digging trenches
and burying the soldiers. The dis
patch Continued to say that nearly
all OF the German soldiers killed in
that one battle had been disposed of
and the Landsturm were starting to
bury the French, who still were
lying as they fell in all sorts Of dis
torted positions.
2 The red troaseredsFrencl1 soldiers
and the dusky Turcos lay side by
side In death, frozen by the winter
cold. The Landsturm are the re-
serves OF the. German Army. They
are from SO to As years old, and as
they are not as active in battle as
some Of the younger fighters, they
are assigned to such duties as bury
ing the dead when not needed In
actual lighting.
The pitiful story OF these 1000
men burying the dead and still only
half through after working for four
days, shows more clearly than any
statistics or lists how terrible has
been the loss in the, European con-
Aict.
English, Germans, French and
Russians have been busy Issuing
bulletins and lists Of the dead.
There Is cause to believe that each
army has kept back the actual fig
ures Of the dead. The burial OF THO
hosts opposite scissors seems to
prove the point.
The burying Of dead has become
an important piece of work of the
modern army. In Napoleon's time

to be food for the buzzards or to he
buried by the civilians.

dug and the soldiers were heaped
