THE COST OF WAR.

A compilation made in Washing
ton estimates the number Of men
killed in the war up to January as
4,S4l, 200; those with totally disa5-
ling wounds as 2,44s, 5O0-in all con
siderably more than 100000 men
who have died or have been p,rma-
nently manned or suffered the prlva-
tons of cspuvIty, not counting the
victims Of the last ten weeks.
This estimate Is conservative, as
perhaps official or semi-ofiiciaI esti-
mates should be. There is British
authority for setting the number of
deaths alone as high as 100000.
In the millions also must be the
reckoning run Of civilians murdered,
as in Armenia; killed in bombarded
towns; persisted miserably of starva-
tioI, as in Poland, or more slowly
from diseases engendeied by hunger
exhaustion, cold and wretchedness
Military losses may apparently be
known; of these others no estimate,
even, can be made until long after
the fighting is over, and it can never
be complete.
The property loss is in quite an
other aspect; yet the wasting Of SOC,
000,00O,0O0 of the worlds capital
for purpose so hideous is in itself a
mighty, moving trage dy of wanton
aggression and dishonest diplomacy
Such figures pass comprehension
The cost of the war may some day
be reckoned; fully to realize ii is be-
yond human power.

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.


The horrible effects of bloody war
fare that Is now raging in Europe is
beginning to tell s,rongl, among all
nations now at war and particularly
in Germany, hence there comes with
the beginning OF spring some hopes
and prospects of peace. The pros
poets Of peace seem brighter now
than at any time since the beginning
of hostilities especially in view Of the
great hardships suffered bv the peo-
pies OF the German cities because Of
the scarcity Of foo }, and because of
the iueffacy of the submarine war
fare which at its worst now appar-
emily will only bring about that most
undesirable result Of forcing the
United States into the war. Should
the sufferings OF the millions Of peo-
pie now engaged in the war and
those left behind continue and the
United States become embroilei ia
the conflict the end must and will
soon come. Human reason and COM
mon sense must he soon resorted to
and all nations join IN peace con-
ference that will result IN treaty
that will bring about lasting peace
among all nations Of the globe.
The reverses upon the west side
and the evacuation of Bas dad by the
Turks indicate that the situation on
the field is 40 longer such as to lead
the Germans to propose peace in the
spirit OF the Kaiser's address to the
army, namely, "with consciousness
of victory" When that pretended
consciousness is laid aside a peace
conference will be probable.
