Gettysburg was the greatest bat

tai Losses in the Civil War" At An
tietam the Union losses were: Killed
2,l0s; wounded, 9,5i9; missing. 1853
total. l2,4l0. The casualties reported
by General Sir JOHN FRENCH at Neuve
Chapelle were: Killed, 2.527. wounded.
s.533 missing. 1.7bl; total. l2,sll. A
comparison Of these casualties will
show that Neuve Chapelle in the pro-
portion OF killed to wounded was a
bloodier hattie than Antietam. and II
will probably prove to he the fact
that on the German side the casualties
were much heavier than on the Brit
ish. Sir JOHN FRENCH says that the
enemy left several thousand dead on
the field, and We have positive infor-
nation that upward of 1900 wounded

PLEA TO MR.. BRYAN.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Str; I
want to tell the public that while I am

allowing William Jennings Bryan 10
make this question n part Of tho Demo-
cratic partys programme.
Everything that Bryan has advocated
since his advent into tho political spot
light has been lost in the shufie Of
American politics
II We prohibitionists don't want our
pet measure maltreated. killed and
buried we had better warn Bryan by
letter that he Is doing more injury than
good to our cause by preaching on this
subject.
The American people don't seem to
take to anything Mr. Bryan stands for.

The Prohibition Commissioner

The Prohibition Commissioner in
West Virginia, Mr.. FRED o. BLUE. has
made a ruling that sweet cider ceases
to he a soft drink In three weeks
after making. Therefore he maintains
that the sale Of the cider then be-
comes a violation Of the State prohi-
bition law, Evidently Mr. BLUE knows
hard cider by it's works The harder
1t is the worse the tipple. and 1t ends
by becoming truly dabolical drink.
No wonder the prohibitionis,s want
the line between sweet and hard cider
drawn with precision.
