PUTS LOSSES AT 2,700, 900
British Military Expert Estimates
| German Casualties.

London, Feb. 9.-The Times mill
tary expert devotes nearly three col
umns to an estimate of the German
losses during the war.
With due allowances for many con-
siderations which tend to make such
estimates to a considerable, extent
guesswork, the correspondent believes
that during the eighteen months of
the war Germany has lost about g.
100000 men.
It is estimated by the writer that
Germany now has 100000 men in the
field and that she had about 5000 900
men available at the beginning of the
war. This, he believes, would leave
her a reserve of 100000 men, many
of whom are needed for internal duty.
The expert thus reaches the conclu-
sion that Germany still has available
for fighting a reserve of 100000 men
and says that until these are exhaust
ed the strength of her armies in the
field will not begin to fail her.

The Highly Humorous B0hunk.

San Francisco Bulletin: What is bohunk ?
You won't find him in dictionary, but YOU
will find him in the language Of contractors
who employ large quantities of unskilled
immigrant labor. A bohunk, as many of
them would define him, is f1esh-and-b blood
machine, which may have a soul but prob
ably has not, and which has for function
in life to work a pick and shovel for the
profit of contractors and the greater glory
Of the United States.
"One day." according to an anecdote with
which the Engineering and Mining Journal
regales one of the lighter moments of it's
readers, "a ten-ton boulder on ledge, un-
dermined by steam shovel, came down
among the crew, and after the dust had set
tied it was found that one perfectly good
bohunk, less nimble than his fellows. had
been neatly obliterated"
The point of the story comes later, but,
like every good story teller, the narrator in
PRODUCES subsidiary humcr as he goes along.
A human being rich in possibilities of undis-
covered talents, with unsupported capacities
for tenderness, heroism and fine ACCOMPLISH
ment, becomes perfectly good bohunk":
the brusque and careless ending of his life
become meat obliteration.'
What if it had been perfectly good en-
gineer, a perfectly good railroad president
or perfectly good teller Of funny stories
who has erased in this neat obliteration,? It
would have been sad, then, and tragic. It is
only the life and death of bohunks which
may be made the subject Of jests.
Well, there is our immigration problem
our unskilled labor problem, and our leading
national problem in nutshell.

IS 1T YOUR KIDNEYS?

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is where the danger
often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy or
Bright's disease. An effective remedy
for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of
this vicinity are constantly testifying.
Mrs. A. Thorpe, Elk River, Mimi,

GERMANY YIELDS

Lusitania Controversy Is Ami
CabIy Adjusted,
BERNs1oRFF CABLES BERLIN
Ambassador at Washington Also Sends
Wireless Message Asking That the
Agreement Be Signed Promptly and
Returned to Him,

Agreement Be Signed Promptly and
Returned to Him.
Washington, Feb. 9.-The United
States and Germany have reached an
agreement for a complete settlement
of the Lusitania controversy
Official announcement to this effect
was made following conference at
the state department between Secre-
tary of State Lansing and Count Won
Bernstorf, the German ambassador.
According to American officials the
settlement is based on a complete
compliance by Germany with all of
the demands of the United States, as
set forth in the first American note of
May IS, and reiterated in the notes of
June 9 and July Fl.
A similar statement is made in Ger
man circles, although it is declared
that, by avoidance of the expression
"illegal' in describing the act Of re-
taliation against Great Britain, which
resulted in the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, Germany has saved herself
from humiliation
All that remains to be done is the
engrossment of the agreement in the
shape of formal note from the Ber-
lin foreign office, bearing the sigma
ture of Count Won Jagow, the German
foreign minister.
Immediately after the conference
Count Won Bernstorff sent wireless
message to Berlin announcing the
agreement and suggesting that the
text of the agreement itself, which he
is forwarding by cable, through the
state department and the United
States embassy in Berlin, be signed
at once and returned with instruc-
lions which will enable an immediate
publication of the agreement.

COMMERCIAL TRAINING.

The absolute necessity for improved
methods of educating men for foreign
trade is strongly insisted upon by DR..
Edward Ewing Pratt in his first an
nual report as chief of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
There may be an exception or two,
but the claim is made that most col
leges and universities are doing too
little to train men for this highly i'm
portant work. Exception is taken to
the men with only theoretical train
ing who are often put in charge of
commerce classes in schools and col
leges. 1T is to be regretted that the
actual work of instruction is not in
trusted to men who have some prac-
teal or personal knowledge of the
subject. A mere secondhand ac-
quaintance, a mere book knowledge
of foreign trade is inadequate. l do
not mean by this statement to advo-
cate the employment of merely prac-
teal exporters as instructors. But
do advocate the employment of men
who have gathered their facts and in
formation by personal investigations
and have thus acquired a first-hand
knowledge and have a practical con-
tact with the things which they pro-
pose to teach" This criticism of pre-
vailing methods of training men to
carry on our foreign trade follows a
discussion of the part the United
States has come to play in interna-
tional trade. As result of the war

SAUCE FOE THE GANDER.

In connection with the proposal to
increase our standing army to 100000
men it is we'll to recall the bitter COM
plants that we as we'll as the rest of
the world have uttered on the subject
of German miiitarism, says the New
Republic. Germany, we have all found
ourselves saying, is an armed camp.
The military element in German life
has become overgrown, choking the
civil element. The omnipresence of
the soldiers gives a military cast to
German diplomacy. to the disquiet and
danger of the whole world. A ma
jority of Americans still believe that
the present war could have been
avoided if the German general staff
had not been more than half willing
to try their. machine in action. Now

and to what end? Germany had the
excuse that on east and west her ter

two of the most powerful military ma
lions in the world, bound together by
an offensive and defensive alliance
patiently directed against her. What

a possible combination of Germany

toward with each other, that would
have to operate against us across
thousands of miles of treacherous sea.

the American business community is
rapidly being forced into the worlds
trade arena. The United States has
been compelled to become the worlds
producing and commercial center, and,
for a time at least, the worlds finan-
cial center. If we are to make the
most of the opportunity thrust upon
us, we must solve a number of i'm
portant problems. One of them is this
matter of properly equipping young
men for service in the export field.
Another is the proper financing of for
eign trade. In this direction we are.
making much better progress than in
training exporters. For one thing the
war has forced an improvement over
previous methods. Most important i'm
provements, however, have been made
as a result of the federal reserve act
of 1913, which permits national banks
to accept bills drawn against actual
shipments in foreign commerce, and
also provides for the establishment of
branch banks in foreign countries.
The report also urges the adoption of
a definite and continuing foreign com
mercial policy. Such a policy is not
so much dependent upon the officers
of the government as it is dependent
upon the American public-upon pub
lie opinion-and the American public
is just awaking to a realization of the
situation
