AS Is usual towards the end of the
week there was not a great deal of
life to the inquiry for stockers and
feeders, but with only a limited num-
Der at hand prices were held about
steady with the previous day.
Sellers had an inning in the hog
trade and prices were given an un-
even boost. Most advance was quo
ted on the mixed and good heavies,
gain being reported as 10 a zoe,
while lights were only s q loo higher.
Strong demand from shippers e the

cleared in good season. Top reached

$3.50 a $50.

THE NAV OF MARS

That the cost of this war in human

the deadliness OF weapons are all fac

The German losses have been report
ed more courageously than those Of

| losses have been almost unreported,
and so have those OF Austria. The
most Illuminating figures are supplied
by the German lists Of which $50, from
| the beginning OF the war to February
| "A. have been examined and analysed
by the London Chronicle. The total
German casualties-men and officers
| killed. wounded and missing-to the
middle Of February, by the Chronicles
computation. was 1,175.6s1. There may
reasonably be added for the next three
months. to the end Of May, $4,000
more, the Chronicle thinks. and the
total Is then 1,725.6S1. The ratio OF of
ficers to men in these lists is about 2.7
per cent so that in n total Of 1,725,681
| officers and men. killed, wounded and
captured, 1858 would be officers. The
proportion OF deaths to the total Of
casualties among officers is about 35
per cent. and among the men about 81
per cent, according to the lists ana

the war to date the German killed have
been. approximately, 16.307 officers and

merated at the end Of 1913, the last
year Of peace. in the ordinary German

Freeing the Highways.

NFrom the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
The Pennsylvania Legislature, which
recently completed its labors, provide ed
an appropriation OF 100000 for State
acquisition OF toll roads. The money
Is placed under the control OF the State
executive, and Governor Brumbaugh
has stated that he will not permit 1t
to be used except in counties which
Will pay an equal sum. Thus the
amount to be devoted to the elimina-
tion of toll gates. is really 100000.
1t Is difficult for Ohio, a much young
er State. to understand that the toll
roads are still common in the vicinity
OF philadelphia. Montgomery County,
which Is adjacent to the metropolis,
has many miles of toll roads. There
is heavy traffic on them. and doubtless
their owners reap large profit. Else
where throughout the State num-
still private property.
The tollgate has always been q null
sance, and 1t was abolished many
years ago in the vicinity OF Cleveland.
Northern Ohio did not await the COM
