COMPARED WITH CIVIL WAR.
Europe's Losses in Killed Proport
 ionately Light.

The January English figures give total casualties for British forces as 549.467 after sixteen months of war. Taking the white population of the empire (disregarding India and South Africal as 60.000,000. this is less than l per cent of the total population.
 The white population of the Con- federacy in our civil war was B. 500,00o. In three days fighting ac Gettysburg they lost more than> 20,- Ooo, or nearly four-tenths of 1 per cent of the white population.
 Such startling comparison is. of course, not typical of the gen. eral situation. but, since most of US have been hypnotized by the appalling aggregates of this war. it is we'll that We should be a bit jolted out of this condition of mind by realizing at the outset that in proportion to population the South lost four-tenths as many in three days as the British did in sixteen months.
 Estimates of German losses in killed and mortally wounded up to January vary from sever hundred thousand up. At th,s figure the loss would be slightly more than 1 per cent of the total population. The parliamentary under secretary for war, in parliament January 19, gave total German casualties as 2,500,000, Of sehi.a 58s.9S6 were killed. These were given as in- cluding h whe,V Gurman army though thag come close to figures given earlier for Prussia aIoae. If such an error was made, these figures should be increased about 60 per cent.
 If it should reach g million men 1t would be about 1 1-2 per cent. This is a tremendous toll. Suppose ] it reached the enormous total of 1,6Oo, 900 after two years fighting This would be two one-ha1f per cent. In our civil war it has been estimated by not few historians that the Union losses from dead  plus total disabilities from disease were about If per cent of the population.
 On the assumption, then, of deaths of a million and a half o, more, Germany in two years fight ing would meet a loss proportional to that of the North in the civil war, but less than that of the South.-Henry c. Emery.

TO SEEK FEDERAL AID
FOR BIG FLOOD DISTRICT
State ConvictS Working to
Strengthen LeveeS on Low
er Mississippi River
by Associated Press. J

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23.-Those en-
gagged in relief work in the various
flooded sections of northern Louisiana
today awaited the assistance from the
federal government which was declared
by sources considered reliable to be pro-
posed.
Federal aid was reported especially
needed by workers in the vicinity of
Newellton. where crevasse water from
Buck Ridge has made several thou
sand persons homeless, in western
Tensas and Concordia parishes and in
the neighborhood of Oak Grove. West
Carroll parish
Backwater from the Rer river early
today was reported closer to Vidalia
The levee protecting the town has been
topped and strengthed and gaps in the
protection levees which had been left
open for the drainage of 'seepage water
have been closed as a precaution against
the approaching flood waters. Cres-
easse waters was expected to reach
Waterproof today.
Reports early today stated that the
southwood levee is miles below Baton
Rouge, where a section of topping caved
in Monday, was holding. Two hundred
state convicts will be put to work on
that levee today, it was announced.
Sand boiIs, reported last night on the
Grand bay Ievee in Pointe Coupee parish
were declored by state engineers to be
giving little trouble and would not nes-
essariIy cause weakening of the dixie.
No additional deaths were reported
