EUROPE'S SLAUGHTER LISTS

According to New York Ex-
change from April Is to May 81, the
total British casualties since the be-
ginning Of the war, according to OFF,
cial statements to the House of Com
mons, increased from 139,347 to
25S,S59 or S5 per cent in seven
weeks. This period covers the battle
of Ypres and operations at the
Dardanelles.
Considering the size Of the British
land forces that have been engaged,
over a quarter Of million men rep
resent very severe losses. 1t Is sig
nificant that the casualties include
one officer to every twenty-five men
of other ranks. This is form of de-
probation that tells very sharply
agaist an army of volunteers like
Great Britain's. It's regular army
was very small and by this time has
largely melted away. To fit officers
for service in leading troops to the
field is a far slower process than
whipping recruits into shape.
What figures the French losses
have reached is not known. although
it is reported that their hospitals
hold never less than 100000. Ger
many has lost probably close tie
2,225,0OO. When the final reckoning
is made it will show slaughter to
blacken forever the history Of civil
| lization Elk.

THE GERMAN VIEW.
BY Hugo Won Kliest.
q y u y n u y y u

Among other reports of German
efficiency in the field come descrip-
tions of the busy supply and repair
centres Just back of the German
lines.
Besides keeping the fighters sup
piled with ammunition and food
these centres are constantly combin-
ing the battlefelds for broken guns
and bayonets, cartridge shells, the
clothes and knapsacks of the DEAD
and wounded. The methodical Ger
mans sort these things and take
them back to the workshops at the
centre. There shattered rifles are
made as good as new, broken wheels
rstord, uniforms and outfits clean
ed and repaired. Even wornout
automobile tires are collected anu
put through a process that renders
the rubber of use in making new
tubes. And all this is done in shops
not in Germany, but only a ie"
miles from the battle front in Nor'h-
ern France.

Extend Quarantine
For Cattle Malady.
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE RE.
sTRicTloNs INCLUDE BIG
TERRITORY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Foot and
mouth disease quarantine regulations
were extended by the department Of
agriculture 80 as to include all the
territory east of the Mississippi and
north OF Tennessee In a restricted
area out OF which no shipments OF
livestock except for slaughter within
4S hours, will be permitted to the
south or west.
All Of the great slaughtering cen.
tiers are located in the restricted ter.
ritory, and there is little shipping OF
live cattle out Of 1t, but the new order
was deemed necessary to protect the
stock producing sections from infec.
ton.
Two important new regulations
were added today, one defining sim.
mediate slaughter" as used In existing
orders a within 4s hours. and an.
other prohibiting the transportation
OF livestock In any part Of. the United
States after February II, except In
disinfected cars.
Owing to the fact that few or no
cases Of foot and mouth disease have
been found in Virginia, West Virginia,
Vermont, Maine and the District Of
Columbia, stock owners in these juris.
dictions will be permitted under the
revised regulations to ship out stock
upon affidavit that It has been on
their farms for a certain length of
time and has not been exposed to
risk Of c%ontagion.

ROME, Feb. 1s.-The idea Ma.

the interests of the Nationalist party,
In its issue Of Sunday. publishes a
forecast of German proposals to Italy,
which reads as follows:
Before the end of February Prince
Won Buelow, the German ambassador
to Italy. will present to the Italian
government q concrete proposal for
Italian participation in the war on
the side of Germany. This consists
OF the cession by Austria Of the prov.
tnce of Trent and the re%ctifcation of
the Eastern Italian frontier by the ad.
dition OF a strip Of land going as far
as the Isonzo river. In addition, Ger.
many will pledge herself to conclude
q new treaty with Italy which will
afford protection to Italy's Mediter-
ranean interests.
In exchange Italy is to take part
at once in the war. She will occupy
Tunis and help Turkey drive the Eng.
fish from Egypt. which will return
under the dominion Of the sultan of
Turkey. In addition, the Italian fleet
will attack the Anglo.French naval
forces In the Mediterranean"
Continuing. the Idea Nazionale"
says that Prince Won Buelow, refer.
ring to Triest, made this statement:
1T Is impossible to give Triest to
Italy, because this seaport is the lung.
not of Austria, but Of Germany"
At the conclusion OF one Of his con.
yersations with the Italian statesmen
Prince Won Buelow, according to this
newspaper, made use of this phrase:
Either Italy will be friendly to.
wards US, or we will treat her worse
than we are treating England.
