.BRI TA|N'S IRAK EXPEDITION COST
 EMPIRE HEAVILY
Vienna Estimates Loss of England at 100000
 Dead or Wounded.

Vienna, June 6.-The losses of the British Irak expeditionary force amounted, up to the end of the second week in May. to more than 100000 men killed, wounded and prisoners, according to Heer und Politik.
 In a series of engagements with the Turks last November, the British lost 1920 dead, according to this journal, and this number must, it says, be add ed, together with it's proportion of wounded, to the British casualty lists published at that time admitting a loss of 25,00 men in the Irak cam paign. At the first of the year 1916 the British losses were more than 40, 900 officers and men killed and wounded in action or dead of disease, according to this papers figures.
 The battle of Men1ahie, late in January, cost the British 5000 men and approximately 11,5O0 wounded, on authority of Turkish reports, and a few days before this the British de- clared to have had losses of about $500 at Sheik Said. This series of engagements is conservatively esti- mated here to have cost the British Irak forces about 100000 men.
 At Felahie, early in March, the Brf- tish left on the battlefield, according to the Turkish official communicate, nearly 5000 dead; and in the attacks made by the Turks upon British forces in the same vicinity in April the Bri- tish lost nearly 10000 killed and wounded, it is claimed.
 If to all these figures are added the prisoners at Kut-el-Amara, the total estimate of 100000 in British losses is passed.

Two Americans
 Nominated For
 City Temple Pastor

London June 6-Opinion as to the choice of a, successor to the Rev R. J. Campbell as pastor of the City Temple appears to be about equally divided among the rnmebers of the congrega- ton between Dr. J. H. Jowett, of New York, and pr. Joseph Font Newton of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The deacons have recommended Dr. Jowett. pr. Newton is to preach at the Temple during the month of July.
 Whoyere is chosen will be warmly welcomed, both as a mark of grati- fication at seeing the pulpit filled once more and because of the final breaking of the protracted deadlock as to a, successor to MT. Campbell.
 Since the latter's departure copgre- gations have fallen off by 80 per cent and the famous Thursday midday ser vice has been abandoned.
 Meanwhile genuine interest has been aroused in ecclesiastical circles throughout the country by MT. Camp bells announcement that he will state his reasons for leaving the Non-con- formity to reenter the Church of Eng land
 Since reentering the Church of England he has privately and public ly refused to be drawn into any sort of statement of his reasons for so do- ing. In maintaining silence he has given as a reason his reluctance to provoke acute difference of opinion.
 It was a recent episode at a session of the Congregation Union which prompted MT. CampbelFs determine ton to make a statement. The sub iect of the validity of the Congre- gationaI ministry was under discus sion and Dr. J. D., Jones, now the re- cognized leader of British Congrega- tionalism, suggested that MT. Camp bells action has been construed as a reflection upon the status of Con- gregational ministries. At the same time he hinted to MT. Campbell that it was expected of him to affirm frankly that joining the Anglican Church and submitting to reordina- ton did not imply any doubt as to the validity of his former Congrega- tiona1 orders.
 MT. Campbell forthwith announced his intention to issue an explanation

Many persons throughout the state who held tickets for the event did not attempt to attend because of the show CT. The opera will be presented this evening if the weather continues fair
