Disappear From Battle.
These divisions disa ppeared complete
y from battle. Fifty-fve divisions, in
consequence of their great losses were
able to engage in combat only twice, fif
teen divisions three times and only one
was able to engage in combat four times.
Four divisions had suffered so severely
after their second engagement that it
was necessary to send them to quiet sec
tors but on critical days they were
again thrown in
Turning to the eastern front the critic
writes.
The 4th Siberian Corps from August
81 to September lost between 1900
and 1900 men before Bubnov. The
10th Siberian Rife Division, which was
attached to the 4th Corps. lost be-
tween 5000 and 5000 men near
korytniza. The 4th-Rife Division
between August 81 and September 20
lost between 5000 and 5000 men near
SZelov, and the I'd Rifle Division in
three days lost at the same place be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men.
From the beginning of the offensive

Russ officials Estimate.
"A Russian official at Kiev, accord
ing to Swiss paper, numbers the
Russian casualties from June l to Oc

figures These gigantic figures are
comprehensive only if the great Rus
sian losses before separate sectors on
our front are considered
Thus the army group of Gen. Won
Linslngen, which holds one-sixth of the
eastern front, inflicted losses in the
month of September on the Russians
which are calculated by a Responsible
authority, at $4,000 to $4,000. The tig-
ures probably are below the actual
losses. Corresponding reports are
given from the army sector of Gen.
Won Boehm Ermolli by a war CORE

PRESENTED TODAY
Commissioners Submit Figures
for 1918 Far in Excess of Cur
rent Years Appropriation.
MANY PROJECTS COVERED

Estimates considerably in excess of
the appropriation of S12,5I5.S1l10 al
lowed by Congress for paying the, cur
rent year expenses of the District of
Columbia we're submitted to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury today by the Com
missioners gor the fiscal year of 1918.
These estimates provide for improve

important projects, such as municipal
hospital
The law requires transmission of
these estimates annually to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury by October 1o and
prohibits their publication until trans
mitted by the Secretary to Congress at
the beginning of its session in Decem-
Der.
Budget Provides Literally.
1t may be stated upon reliable au
thority, however. that the budget pro-

mended a wear ago. which was S15,343,
1876. The appropriation bill as finally

After considering requests from
large number of citizens associations,
the Commissioners have included in
the budget estimates for improvements
in every section of the city New
school buildings are requested and an
street Improvement
proposed.
Hospital and Garbage Plant.
Among the important improvements
again recommended are the building of
d municipal hospital and municipal
garbage plant. In connection with the
former no suggestion is made as to
location. Last years recommendation
was for an initial appropriation of
$4,000 for work on the hospital, and
a similar amount, it is understood, is
asked this year.
Need of municipal garbage plant.
for which studies have been made and
plans drawn, is emphasized in the estl-
mates and an appropriation for start
ing work on the project requested.
Collection and disposal of the city's
ashes, garbage and refuse are now
handled under contract.
The estimates are understood again TO

For rushing work on the Anacostia
reclamation project the Commissioners
want 5000, 900. Until this year the an
nual appropriation for this work has
been 500. 900, but Congress, at the in
stance of the District heads, appro
priated 100000 for this purpose in the
current appropriation act
The estimates also are understood to
provide increased pay for members of
the fire department. That increases
be allowed was recommended by
Frank ]. Wagner, chief of the depart
ment but to what extent the recon-
mendation has been approved will not
be known until the estimates are made
public in December.

The question of arrest and prosecution
will be determined in individual cases.

It's case of 'alTs we'll so long as

Further discussing the question, the
driver said he found many young chill

and some of them, he stated, become
impudent when told to desist.
There was time, he stated, when a
driver might use his whip to get chill
dren out of danger. but the use of a
whip a this time would mean the ar
rest and prosecution of the driver, so
that it frequently becomes necessary
for the driver to stop his team and
alight from his vehicle before the
youngsters will leave.

FREEDOM Of PRESS
IS IN CRAVE DANGER

The Jackson Miss Daily News has
issued a warning to editors that the
freedom of the press is endangered
by the arbitrary methods adopted by
some legislators, adding:
If a legislature can say what kinds
OF advertising newspaper shall and
shall not publish, il can also say what
sort of news newspaper shall and
shall not publish.
And if the publication of advertising
and news matter can be regulated by
statute, it is but step further to die
tate editorial policy by statute.
The State and Federal constitutions
guarantee the liberty OF the press,
and every true newspaper is going to
jealousy guard that guarantee and
vigorously oppose any attempted in
vasion.
The bill now pending in the legisla-
ture seeking to prohibit the publica-
ton of liquor advertisements is a
fragrant attempt to thwart the liberty
of the press, and an insult to every
reputable newspaper in Mississippi.
The Daily News has had very little
to say concerning this measure, be-
lieving that, from legal viewpoint,
il is not worth the paper on which
it is written, and, if passed, will be
promptly declared unconstitutional by
the courts. It's enactment will be a
vain and foolish thing, and serve only
to make the legislature look ride
ulous.
Alabama is the only late in the
union that has made itself asinine by
enacting a law of this character. We
can see no reason why Mississippi
should follow Alabama's example.

FORESTS FAST
DISAPPEARING
State Park Committee Intends
to Preserve Them For
the Future.

Unless decisive steps are taken BIZ
the people of Indiana, the chief crime
of the states second century is going
to be the destruction of the fores :
and much of the scenic beauty That
this is not false prophecy is shown
through reports which the Indiana
State Park committee, of the Indiana
Centennial commission, has gathered
from over the state. This informa-
ton is that there are very few wood
land tracts to be found in the condi-
ton that Nature created them The
giant oaks, black warnuts and poplar
trees have become so scarce that they
are about as expensive as mahogany
when they are made into lumber. And
they grow scarcer every year, for tim
Der men are buying up these stately
old trees wherever they can be OBJ
tanned, paying great prices for them.
1t is not uncommon for a large black
walnut tree to sell for $4,000 as it
stands in the forest, and they are diff
ficult to obtain at that price.
The rugged rocky scenery is going
about the same way that the fine old
forest trees have gone One of the
most beautiful scenic spots in central
Indiana has in recent years been
blasted to pieces and it's sandstone
granulated into ballast for a railroad
bed. Where the stony scenery is Of
hn rio nd &c y,
of it in various sections of the state,
being turned into cement for walks
and buildings in cities and towns.
But under the plans of the state
park committee this destruction of In
diana's scenic beauty is to come to an
end The committee Is endeavoring
to gather in every city and town a
subscription fund that will make a
great sum with which to purchase
scenic tracts and preserve them for
ever as state parks. How many tracts
can be acquired can be determined
only after the committee knows how
much money the public will give But
after the committee has exhausted its
funds, il will gather up the civic
forces Of Indiana behind a great
movement that will ask the legisla-
ture in 1917 to take UP the state park
project and develop it further There
is enough scenic beauty spots in In
diana to provide about 200 parks. and
many years may be required to de-
velop the full system.

beauty snots tina, a,e to be found all
over Indiana. There has been some
wanton destruction going on in these
places in the last twenty years. The
fine old trees have been cut by lum-
Der spectators and some of the finest
scenery in Indiana has been destroyed
by railroads which blasted the rugged,
picturesque rocks for roadbed ballast
1t Is apparent that the only way this
destruction can be stopped is for the
public TO acquire the property from
the private owners This will make
sure the perpetual preservation of the
scenic spots so that future genera
lions may enjoy lnem.
State parks in Indiana will have the
same effect upon the public as have
the city parks OF Indianapolis, Fort
Wayne, and other cities that have
The beauty spots coax the public into
the fresh air. induce them to take up
healthful recreation, and they tie the
public close to the charms OF nature.
State parks will also mean the pre-
seryation of trees, make safe retreats

parks will also lead TO the stocking
up of streams and lakes with fish.
II is not the intention in establish
ing state parks 10 go in for extensive
and expensive landscape adornment.
The wild spots are TO be preserved in
their wildness, SO after the beauty
spots come into the possession OF the
public there will be little expense in

State parks will be a great stimu-
lent to good roads, for the parks will
lead to tying them together with the
