GERMAN DEATH LIST
GIVEN At 651,768
But Arraes Believe That Empire Has
Actually Lost n Million Men Up
70 January 1.
(By Hilaare Bezloc.}

London, Feb. 2x--Ths German OF
fetal casualty lists give a total of
ssl.7es dead 10 January 81. 1915.
The average delay between the death
OF a German soldier and the appear
ance OF his name on the official lists Is
from four to Elk weeks The above
figures, therefore, can hardly include
casualties later than December 81.
1913.
To this figure must be added a Ger
tain prisoners OF missing. The num-
Der OF prisoners In precisely known to
the allies, and after deduottng a small
percentage for desertion. the number
of dead In the German lists of missing
il not less than $50, 900. making a to-
tai. derived from the -Qernans'- own
admission. OF $4,000.
That 10 not all Apart from the
lists published by the German govern
a1nassed q large body of evidence
based on the average deaths per 1000
modified men at a given date These
prove conclusiveiy that the German
official lists are deliberately falsified
or Intentionally inadequate.
In the early months OF the war
these private and official Lists very
nearly tailed. but ever since January,
1915 there has been a marked dis
crepancy. The official lists give an
average Of 30 per cent less than the
private lists. This represents diff
ference Of over 20o.0 dead.
It 10 a matter OF mathematical GER
tainty that the German empire has
lost over one million dead alone 60 the
end OF last year.

stroyed by fire this morning about S
o'clock on the Norfolk and Western

game and their oil gave out after
which they used straw to light the

One other negro was severely burned
before he could be rescued. The flames
spread TO three empty box cars on
other tracks completely destroying

Strasburg. Va, Feb. 24.-Plans for
the establishment of a huge game
preserve to include practically the
entire Government-owned Massanut-
ten forest reserve, were discussed here
r few days ago by Supervisor George
A. Copp and officials connected with
the office of the State game warden.
1t is planned to stock the reserve
with deer. elk and other big game
that formerly ranged the region en-
braced In the national forest, The
plan, II made effective. is expected
to accomplish the twofold object of
protecting the forest and the game.
The projected game reserve will
probably begin at the end of the
mountain. at the line between Shen-
andoah and Warren counties. and ex-
tend continuously with the mountain
TO the Shenandoah Rockingham coun-
ty line. Suitable areas will be fenced
off for propagation purposes.
The board of supervisors has ap-
proved the plan, and there Is little

INTERURDhA LINE IS
READY FOR BUSINESS.
Cars Between Hopeweil and Peters,
burg VIII Begin Running On Sat
uriay, II Is Said.

Hopewell, Va, Feb. 24.-Ohicial an
Petersburg and Appomattox Railway
that the interurban cars will be in
operation on Saturday. Beginning at
6 o'clock in the morning, cars Will
leave both Hopewell and Petersburg on
every hour throughout the day. The
schedule that will be maintained is
not what the company desires, but so
great has been the demand that the
cars be placed in operation at the
earliest possible moment that they have
determined not to wait until the road
bed is in condition to Justify fast
schedule and will operate on the slow
err schedule. Within the next few
weeks cars will leave from the cor
ner Of Wythe and Sycamore Streets In
Petersburg at the same regular inter-
walls.
The cars which the p. & A. Railway
have purchased are capable of seat
ing forty-eight passengers each and
are modern in every respect They
are capable of being operated in sec
tons of multiple units. and 1t is prob
able that while the slow schedule Is
in operation that a regular train or
electric cars will be operated. Under
the slow schedule the operating time
between Petersburg and Hopewell will
be forty minutes. Later this will be
reduced to twenty-five minutes for the
local cars and twenty minutes for the
express cars.
The operation of the cars will be
of untola benefit to the city. Since
the weather put the jitneys out OF
operation the means OF communica-
ton with Petersburg have been great
ly hampered.
The last rail on the present direct
line was laid this afternoon.

ings committee OF the House today
and made an extended argument IN ia
vor OF his bill approriating $4,000
for the enlargement OF the Norfolk
postoff1ce building.
The arguments used in former hear
ings on this bill were repeated with
additional ones available because OF
the increased strain OF the facilitieS
due to the gain in the volume of busi-
ness. A strong impression evidently
was made on the committee and 1t Is
believed that If any public building
bill is forthcoming at this session the
