Characterizes Wilson
as First Citizen World

London.-In a two column tribute
to President Wilson, Alfred G.. Gard
nier, editor of the Daily News, says:
No man in the democratic world
today is SO entirely governed by prin-
ciple and moral sanctions. President
Wilson is not merely the first citizen
CT the United States but the first cit
izen of the world. He makes mis-,
takes, no doubt, for he is human, but
they never are the mistakes of a
weak man; they never are the mis-
takes of a political gambler of one
touched by sordid motives of ambi-
ton.
Emperor William has made many
miscalculations about nations and
men but his greatest miscalculation
was in regard to Mr.. Wilson and the
Uaited States. Incidentally, there
also has been much misconception on
the same subject in this country.
Throughout the war his attitude has
conformed to the historic tradition
of the United States on non-interven.
ton in European affairs but he real
ICES the world has changed and the
United States can no longer remain
Theoretically sealed.
"The rupture between President
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan will be one of
the great landmarks Of the war. 1t
is a mercy for the United States that
in the nomination struggle The ami,
able dreamer was defeated by the
statesman. In refusing to yield an
inch on the rights of American citi-
zens, President Wilson is defending
the sacred ark of freedom. He will
not go to war if war can be avoid
ed with honor, but the integrity of
the United States is his supreme CON
Germ and it is safe in his hands"

500. 900 MEN ARE KILLED
AND 100000 WOUNDED

Washington, June 12.--Based o the
official statement of Premier Asqulth
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 European
war total more than 100000 men
OF this number probably $500, 900
have been killed, 100000 wounded
and the rest are missing.
A large part of the men reported
as missing are military prisoners.
The statement on Great Britain's
losses shows that there are approx
mately three soldiers wounded to one
Killed. Military authorities of the
United tSates say that a considerable
number of patients cared for in Eu'
ropean military hospitals are return
ing to the front.
1t is generally believed that the
casulties of all land forces are as
follows: Germany and Austria,
5000. 900; Russia, $500, 900; France
1.5O0, 900; Great Britain, 100000; Ser
bia, $50, 900; Turks, South Africans
East Africans, Italians, 100000. To,
tai, 100000.
At this rate of losses-750,000 g
months-a simple calculation reveals
that in a little more than two years
from the beginning of the war the en-
tire establishments of all these coun
tries as it stood on July 81, 1914, vii.
have been wiped out. If the war. ex
tends into 1917 it then will be con

of various countries at the outbreak
of the war was as follows: Germany

Italy, 100000; Great Britain 100000;
Turkey, 1000, 900. Total 27,520,000.
