THE TOLL OF THE WORLD WAR.

It is difficult to get a clear idea of
the enormous losses sustained in the
world war from conflicting newspaper
reports from day to day. The follow
ing is a resume of 'The Toll' of the
war taken from the October revision
pages of Nelson's encyclopedia, which
is published by Thos. Nelson & Sons,
New York, London and Edinburg.
The war at present is estimated to
be costing the combined belligerents
about $75,OO0,000 a day, or $25,00O,>
100000 a year.
At the close Of the first year of
war (Aug. 1, 1879, the total German
casualties were reported as 2,278,0OO
approximately a little over 5O,0OO
dead, 100000 wounded, and nearly
SOC, 900 prisoners. The German War
Ministry has issued reports in regard
to the wounded received into the wal
hospitals of Germany. In the first
] months of the struggle, 1913 per cent
Of all wounded were able to return to
duty; 1922 per cent we're furloughed
as temporarily or permanently unfit;
and 3 per cent died. A second report
april, 1879 shows even more favor.
able results; 91.2 per cent were re-
stored to the ranks; IA per cent were
invalidated; and IA per cent died
Germany points with pride to this
shOwing-which is certainly better
than that of her allies or opponents
as the result of very efficient sanitary
and hospital service.
Austria has suffered proportionately
more heavily than her ally, and the
total casualties are estimated at over
5000, 900, due to greater loss in pris.
Oners. Over 100000 of these are in
the hands of the Russians.
On Aug. 1, the Teutonic allies held
100000 prisoners, of whom /, SIS, 200
we're Russians, 268,OO0 French, So,
600 Servians, 100000 Belgians, and a.,
900 British. OF these, 100000 were
in German hands, and the remaining
5OO, 1000 in Austria. These figures have
since been materially increased, ow
ing to the continuance of the invasion
of Russia.
The Russians have made no state
ment as to their losses, but a total
of 100000 may be taken as low
estimate.
France has been almost equally re.
ticent, and what figures she has Civ.

any great amount of credence by mill.

WHAT CATARRh IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
TO correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food In Scott's Emulsion which is q
medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Tryit.

Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1915-11-17

The proposition of the Administra-
ton to spend fifty million dollars in
establishing lines of merchant ships
between this country and points where
the present trade is not sufficient to
invite private enterprise has been de-
nounced as gross extravaganza and
unwarranted use of the peoples mon
ey. But when the same Administra-
ton proposes a naval construction
plan requiring five hundred million
dollars as an initial outlay-and no
telling how many hundred millions to
follow-it passes unrebuked by the
very persons who begrudge the com.
paratively few dollars required by the
peaceful merchantmen Public.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1915-11-17

Preparationists have laid plans for
enlarging our army and navy that will
cost two billion dollars. This will lead
to greater ornaments on the part of
other nations; which in turn will me-
cessitate still more preparation on
our part. Instead of entering upon
this foolish rivalry, let us at the end
of the war give that two billion doll
ars for the care of the widows, or
phans and cripples of the warning
countries. The fraternal feelings
awakened will make US stronger than
all the navies combined. If we must
spend two billion dollars, Let us get
our moneys worth.-The Public.

The Germans claim, as we have seen,
268,000 prisoners.
On Aug. 81, the officially announced
British losses were 391, 983-85,95
