When Austria Hungary, July rs, 1914,
declared war upon Serbia, the dual
monarchy precipitated a general Euro
pean war. When Great Britain, August
4. 1914, declared war upon Germany, the
inevitable sequel was what may prop
erly be termed a world war"-despite
American freedom from direct
complication.
The accompanying map of the two
hemispheres indicates at a glance, in
the black spaces. the extent to which
war has gripped twentieth century
civilization through the conflict of great
powers and the dependencies of those
powers.
In calculating the far-reaching effect
of this war over the surface of the
earth, 1t is fair to exclude the polar

from 1898 to 1913-120 years-is esti
mated at $2e.123.546,000. and the total
loss of life in the conflicts Of 120 years
at 5,49s,100.
OF striking significance is tho fact
that the aggregate strength Of the
armies engaged in all these wars Of 12o
years was 1855, 2,200-a grand total
equaled, at least, by tho present war

Russia be accepted as reliable.
The stupendous figures necessary to
convey comprehensive understanding Of
what this war means to civilization are
staggering. But the accompanying map
conveys to the mind at a glance an ap-
probation of the extent of. the black
mantle Of human slaughter which now
rests upon the shoulders Of suffering
