More Than Five
Million Killed In
European War
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, July 5.-More than 100000
soldiers of the countries at war with
Germany, it is estimated, have been
killed, wounded or captured. These
figures, compiled almost exclusively
from papers and magazines published
in foreign countries by "Herr und
Politik," are presented in an effort
to show that Italy's entry into the
war cannot hope to Offset, numeri-
cally, the losses of her present allies.
"Herr und Politik" purposely gets
outside of Germany for estimates of
the French, English and Russian
losses, so far as possible. in order to
err on the side of conservatism and
not lay itself open to charges of in
fiation. The French estimates are
taken in part from Italian papers,
the French journals publish no
losses-and some of the Russian
figures have been secured in the
English publications.
Russia is shown to have been the
heaviest loser, with more than 3,000,-
900 men it is estimated. The figures
are obtained in the following fashion,:
There are more than a million Rus
sian prisoners of war in Germany at
present, according to the Germ"
general staff. The London t. n.
long ago as January, placed the Rus
sian dead and wounded list at 1,30O,-
600. Since then there have come the
Masurin Lakes battles and the Car
pathian victories, with Russian losses
estimated by sailed" papers even at
$50, 900 men at the very least.

CALOMEL MAKES
YOU SICK, UGH!
"DoDsoN's LIVER TONE" BET
TER THAN cALoMEL AND CAN
NOT SALIvATE.

Calonnel loses you dayl You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
crampfng and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never
be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constfpated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calornei Just remember that your
druggist sells for 30 cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calonel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not saiivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe,

Hollis Condition is Grave.
Continued from Firss paxa,

two bullets had entered the abdomen
or shattered bone. Both bullets
passed through the muscles of the
hip and out through his clothing. The
possible danger, it was asserted, was
from blood poisoning, and this grew
less with each succeeding hour.
The physicians, after telling mem
bers of Mr.. Morgan's family he was
out of all danger, issued this bulletin:
"The patient had restful night.
His temperature and pulse are nor
NAL. His general condition is favor
able. We consider him practically
out of danger"
Authorities were trying today to
clear up whether Holt had been in
volved in the alleged murder of Mrs.
Erich Muenter in 1906. Erich Muen-
ter disappeared from Harvard Uni
versity after his wife had died, it
was charged, of poisoning, and never
was found. Former acquaintance of
Muenter in Chicago have asserted
that pictures Of Holt showed marked
resemblance to the man they knew as
Muenter.
1t became known today that the
secret service is following the leads
opened by Hollis story. Every city
he has mentioned, it was said, will
be visited; and countrywide search
is to be made to determine where he
was born and where and how he spent
his entire life.
Two promising leads, it was said,
had been opened in New York. What
they were was not revealed, but it was
known detective from police head
quarters was posted at the Jail here,
and after talking over the telephone
to New York, he went several times
to Hollis cell and questioned him.
Holt appeared so respondent to-
day that his keepers, fearing he
might attempt to injure himself, took
away his belt.
One of the important questions
which they had to solve was that
raised by the police OF Cambridge,
Mass, regarding the possible identifi-
cation of Holt as Erich Muenter, a
former Harvard instructor, who dis
appeared after the death of his wife
from alleged poisoning in 1906. State
ments from relatives of Muenter and
men who knew him as student in
Chicago, comparing descriptions of
Holt with their recollections of Muen-
ter were read with interest by the
detectives working on the case. Pho
tographs of Muenter were compared
with those of Holt.
Until late last night, Holt was ques-
toned by police officials from New
York and Washington. Major Pull
man, superintendent of the Washing
ton police, the last of the inquisitors,
endeavored to locate the room that
Holt occupied while in Washington
before exploding the bomb in the cap
itol, but was unable to do so.
1t was in the course of his exami-
nation by police officials that Holt
disclosed his plan, entertained when
he entered the Morgan home, to hold
Mrs. J. P. Morgan and the Morgan
children as hostages in their own
home or to kill them if Mr.. Morgan
refused to use his influence to stop
the expectation of war munitions.
Dispatches from Dallas, Tex, stated
that the Rev. o. F. Sensabaugh, Hollis
father-in-law had taken steps toward
engaging Martin w. Littleton as
counsel for Holt, but Mr.. Littleton
said he had not received such a re-
quest.
Mr.. Morgan's condition, according
to the latest official bulletin continued

De INSTALLED
ALONG TRAIL !

At the suggestion of Lieutenant
Dougherty, the war department has
approved the suggestion Of putting
auxiliary telephones along the Chitina-
Fairbanks trail, as feeders to the tele-
graph line. The telephones are not
for commercial business, but simply
for use of the maintainence of the line
A year ago this winter one of the
signal corps men was frozen to death
on the trail, while out repairing the
line. Had the auxiliary telephones
been installed, as now contemplated,
it is more than likely that his life
would have been saved. Lieutenant
Dougherty sent these facts and much
other data in support of his recon-
mendation for the installation of the
auxiliary telephones and when it
reached the chief signal officer 1t was
approved, and he was requested to
state where he wished the phones
stationed. He was also asked to give
his reasons for installing a phone in
each case.
He recommended that the McCarty
station be connected by telephone
with Birch lake and also with Beal's
cache; that Donnelly station be con-
nected with Rapids roadhouse; that
McCallum station be connected with
Millers roadhouse; that Paxson STA
ton be connected with Meier's road
house; that Beaver Dam station be
connected with Ptarmigan Drop road
house; and that Valdez station be
CONNECTED with Comfort roadhouse.
With telephones installed at these
places, 1t would then be possible to
discover more quickly where breaks
might occur.

BUREAU Of MINES
WILL TEST
NENANAC0AL +.

When DR.. Alfred H. Brooks leaves
over the trail for the coast and the
outside, says the Fairbanks Times, he
will take with him a small sample o.
Ignite coal. taken from the Nenana
fields by Thomas Riggs, Jr., on his last
trip to that district. The coal is to be
taken, to Washington, where it will be
examined and analysed for the Alaska
engineering commission by the bu.
reau Of mines. There Is no question
that the Nenana coal is high grade
Of ignite but the commission wishes
to have an authentic report from the
bureau of mines.
When interviewed yesterday re-
garding the Nenana coal, DR.. Brooks
said that it had all of the chemical
qualities necessary to good Ignite
coal. and the only thing lacking. in
the way Of determining the values Of
the fuel, is the steaming test. AS the
navy is not interested in the coal, it
Il impossible to make a steaming
test. as It would cost about 1000,
and the departments have not seen fit
to set aside this amount. As soon,
however, as the railroad is running
through the new coal field, the govern
mont will have an opportunity to give
the coal steaming test.
In speaking of tests, DR.. Brooks
said that the people of the Interior
ought to give the coal a fair trial,
before offering any criticism. Sew
eral years ago, he says, the people
Of the upper Yukon river declared
that the coal found there was not suit
able for any use; but later 1t develop
ed that the coal was of substantial
commercial value. and at the present
time It is used on the White Pass
railroad. The reason that the coal
was declared to be worthless at first
was because the people neither had
suitable boilers nor stoves with which
to give the fuel fair test.
When the operators Of the Fair
banks district start using the Nenana
coal. It will be necessary for them to
get suitable CRATES and apparatus OF
they will find the fuel impracticable
DR.. Brooks has not had an oppor.
tunity to visit the coal fields in many
years. but he has a storehouse Of
information regarding the conditions
In the Nenana.
When the railroad is completed. DR..
Brooks thinks that the Nenana coal
will be landed here so cheaply that
Il will be used by the majority OF the
.an@oplel I'M preference 70 the high
grade anthracite. which will be mined
In the Matanuska.
