These statements are mighty i'm

Hughes Peculiar Position.

Dispatches from Washington say
that something serious has happened
to the Hughes boom for president
within the last few days. Associate
Justice Hughes is sun maintaining
discreet silence upon the subject, and
the fact is that he is able to look with
more or less equanimity upon the re.
action in the presidential boom bear
ing his name because he has never
publicly admitted that he ever sane.
toned the launching of such a boom
That the Hughes movement is losing
steam is the opinion most generally
expressed by politicians there.
Friends of Justice Hughes, who are
his closest confidants. say that he
himself sees very clearly that the is
sues before the country are those
which have been raised between
President Wilson and Col. Roosevelt
They are issues with respect to pre-.
paredness, to the foreign policies, the
Mexican question and Americanism,

for in his public utterances and writ.

Hughes say that looking ut this situa.

bench Of the United States supreme
court he has concluded that the

would be futile and fruitless to at
tempt to inject any new issues into
this campaign, and Justice Hughes
himself admits to his friends, 1t is
said, that in his own estimation his
own attitude on these questions is not
akin to the views of either President
Wilson or Col Roosevelt. These
friends Of Justice Hughes say that he
does not expect that the Republican
convention will give him the presiden.

knowledge whatsoever concerning his
attitude on the various issues before

Proof of Statements Wanted.


Stephen r. Royce of st Adams is
reported to have said in a public adj
dress in that city last week that ac-
cording to statistics over 80 per cent
of the bread winners of the country
had average earnings Of $500 year,
Of which they spent $685. and saved

-Four per cent of the heads OF
families had incomes averaging ST.
600. The average expenditures of
this wealthy class were $3.50 a year
and the average amount OF this paid
for taxes was only $500

taxes per person at $50 year, or

sions as to their own losses, which
are understated, If anything, prove
that it is incomparably the deadliest
struggle in history. Until last Au-
gust each of the belligerents furnished

Britain alone sends such lists now.
Gen Hugh Scott has transmitted to
Senator McCumber the latest total of

cludes killed, wounded and missing.
1t is impossible to get official infor-
nation as to the exact number killed,
since many OF the seriously wounded
die after the reports are made and
many killed are reported among the
missing Practically all the slain
left on a field held by the enemy are
reported as missing" since there is
no definite proof of their death. Il
will not be until the end OF the war
that definite knowledge will be availa-
bic, through the exchange of prisoners.
NldihS as W pIlspuclS uclu HOW are

The number killed must be enor.
nous, British detailed reports show
one killed in every five missing,
wounded and taken prisoners. The
early German reports, which were very
exact, showed % killed IN every 100
casualties But there is no fixed per.
centage, as a large body of prisoners
may be occasionally taken without
much bloodshed Russia leads in
losses, with 100000. Germany has
