which, here in England as wei,
as in other beligerent countries has
expressed itself in serious industriu,
unrest
These estimates take little account
of the ravages of disease. Some coun-
tries include and others exclude from
their war mortality list deaths from
disease; no country distinguishes them
in detail; and no country publishes
the numbers of it's troops down from
sickness.
The normal epidemics of war have
been less serious during this present
conflict. but one scourge has been
multiplied and ntensified-venereal
be said with peculiar emphasis, "the
fathers ate sour grapes and the teeth
of the children were set on EDGE
The effects will be felt not for on2
but for many generations.
These estimates are necessarily
speculative, and they are doubtless in
accurate in detail but in their totality
they are authentic. It should be
noted that they do not embrace the
United States, although the interven-
ton of that country will be of the
highest significance in the partner
ship of suffering and sacrifice One
other point should be observed. The
destruction of life and wealth in the
fourth year will be disproportionately
higher than the average for the first
three years. Dreadful as the record
is, the worst is yet to be.

SOMETHING HERE
TO THINK ABOUT
Total Killed in War Estimated at
9,750,00O y

London, Oct. 23.-All the belliger-
ent governments, with varying degrees
of reticence, forbear to make public
the wastage of men and wealth which
the war involves. Any private at
tempt at an estimate is highly specu-
lative and is certain to have serious
gaps. But it is worth while, after
three years Of destruction, to take
stock, and in what follows it is be-
leved that the errors are, in the
bulk, on the side of underestimate
rather than of exaggeration, says
'The Manchester Guardian"
First to be considered is the direct
destruction of life. No country pub
fishes totals, and some belligerent
countries publish no casualty lists at
all. The number of British and CO.
lonial troops killed and died during
the first eighteen months Of war has
been estimated at $4,000. To this
must be added colored troops and
large proportion of the missing,
which would bring the total to not
less than 10000.
AS in the last eighteen months the
average strength of the British army
directly engaged in fighting has been
greater than during the first eighteen
months, the total for three years is
proba bly, 100000. If we add naval
losses and losses at sea generally AGO.,
600 will certainly not be an excessive
estimate. The French mortality in
three years has been estimated by the
Copenhagen society at 100000. The
Russian mortality is probably not less
than 100000. The German mortal
ity Is hardly less than 2,250,000, the
Austrian than 1,75O 900, the Turkish
than $50, 900, the Italian than 200, 900,

H0ARDERS' COAL
IS NOW SHUT OFF
Cleveland Firm With Huge Supply
Refused Further Shipments

Washington, Oct. 23.-With the
crisis in the coal situation, caused by
labor disputes and reduced produc-
ton, apparently behind him, DR.. H.
A. Garfield, the fuel administrator,
considered drastic action yesterday to
restrict further shipments to hoard
ers and to curtail, and If necessary
eliminate, delivery of large consign-
ments to manufacturers of non-war-
time commodities.
BY bringing about a more equit-
able distribution of coal by refusing
temporarily shipments to firms which
have laid away large supplies, DR..
Garfield believes that he can assure
industries and households a sufficient
supply to avoid either a letdown in
the production Of the industries es-
sential to war, or suffering on the
part of the people. He is confident,
also, that prices will be stabilized and
lowered.
In the latter connection DR.. Garfield
issued a statement yesterday to the
effect that reports just received by
him indicated sin many sections a
gratifying tendency downward in re-
tail coal prices"
I'm New York CITY," he said, "prices
have recently been reduced by larger
dealers from 10 to 40 cents a ton on
various grades, and other dealers are
meeting these new prices. In Harris
burg and Philadelphia retail coal
prices have been reduced. In Ala
bama, at Birmingham, Huntsville,
Selma, Talledego, and Sheffield prices
have been reduced from 25 cents to
$1y25 a ton"
To these quotations DR.. Garfield
added the statement that labor con-
ditions in all districts had improved
to the point where there seemed no
danger Of further trouble, pending
his announcement of his decision as
to an increase in the schedule for BIZ
luminous coal at the mine which
would make wage increases possible.
He received yesterday this telegram
from John F. White, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, who
is at Indianapolis.
"All miners resumed work in In
diana this morning, and practically all
In Ohio Latest reports from Illinois
are that all mines are resuming in
line with our instructions"
The Cleveland Dealers.
1t was said at the fuel administra-
ton that further shipments had been
cut off temporarily to from eight to 10
firms which had more than 1000, 900
tons of soft coal boarded in the
Cleveland district, and that a COM
plete survey Of the Middle West, as
well as other manufacturing sections,
was, being made to determine wheth er
the policy should be extended.
when this survey is completed
an. of1ici9l said. I'VE will have full in
formation from, at least 100000 firms
which will MAKE it possible for us to
know at a glance what they are manu-
featuring, how much coal they have
on hand, the amount they use daily
and their contracts with mines OF
jobbers.
'"Then we will know just where we
stand. If, for instance, firm which
uses 500 tons Of coal a week has s..
90 tons stored away we will, If there
Is a shortage in other directions, for

bid further shipments to this firm I'M
til the Surnlus Is used I'D.

bid further shipments to this firm un-
til the surplus Is used up.
1.-The question Of cutting off coal
used for huge electric light signs
has been considered, but it is doubt
full whether that would prove very eff
fective, as most of these signs are
operated by power from public utili-
ties which would have to operate on
about the same scale whether the
signs were eliminated Or not.
pending contracts will not be per-
mitted to stand in the way either
where firms which have surplus coal
on hand and want more under their
contracts or where these con-
tracts affect non-essential indus
tries which have no surplus. 1t would
not exactly be a cast of abrogating or
even suspending the contracts, but
simply of putting into effect the pow
ers of the fuel administration under
the food control bill for the benefit of
the country. In a great national
emergency there Is no question OF the
propriety Of using these powers"

the Bulgarian, Belgian, Serbian, Ru-
manian and Portuguese together $780,
600 That gives a total for all the
belligerents of 9,75O,OOO deaths If
we make an allowance for the reduc-
ton of births arising directly out Of
the war we may put the total loss Of
population to the world as the re-
suit of three years of war as 1885,
000
The number of wounded may be
put at two and half times the num-
Der of killed, or about 80, $780, 900. All
these represent human suffering, and
not less than one-half, or 100000
represent permanent disablement for
military service, and to large ex-
tent for effective civil life and labor.
A very moderate estimate of the
military prisoners Of war in the var
ious countries is 100000, and an
other 100000 may be added for CT
fore. about 4,25o, 900 Of men who for
longer and shorter periods have been
languishing in captivity in foreign
lands, as a result of the war. But,
of course, in any calculation of hu-
man suffering, account must be taken
not only of the dead. the wounded,
and the captives, but also of all who
have been taken from civil life to the
arduous perilous and irksome life
of the army. We can only guess at
the numbers called to the colors by
the various belligerents, but the fol-
lowing estimates for both army and
navy are not improba BILE:
