Killed in War.

j. J. s., Richmond.--We are unable
TO give you the approximate ratio Of
killed to the total number of men en-
gagged In the present war as compared
with the War Between the States, but,
according to the most reliable esti-
mates the percentage Of killed in the
present war is less than hat Of the
war of 1S61-65. Statistics of the vari-
o,s losses are not yet available. In
1914. in the battles OF Charleroi and
the Marine. the French losses amounted
to S per cent, or, one out Of every eigh-
teen engaged in the fighting. But in
tho first half Of 1916 the loss was only
LIZ per cent, or one In sINty-eight,
alth ough hat period included Verdun.
and In the latter half of 1916. includ-
ing the Somme, IL fell to ia per
cent. or ono I'm sevcnty-ei2ht. Allow

Communicating Automobile Plants

70 what extent the government may require
4 the use OF the great plants now engaged
in building automobiles for tho development
OF war industries remains TO be seen. but it
seems certain, even now, that the pleasure
car end of the motor business will be the
greatest sufferer. Motor trucks for the army
and cars for purely industrial purposes will
be given the right OF way.
AT least this much information comes from
the conference in Washington between the
war Industries Board and the leading auto
mobile manufacturers of the country. AT
that conference the government made il clear
that a major portion OF the in
dustry would be required at once for the
production OF %airpllne motors ard munition
engines generally. This forcshadows the
withdrawal Of many manufacturers from tho
business OF making purely pleasure cars. II
inns program is carried out. such cars ma
soon be at a premium. Their supply will
be limited. and If the demand does not
diminish, we may expect a very considerabI e
increase in the price OF even the less extensive
cars. ms and the constantly upward trend
Oh gasoline. oil and other accessory prices
may serve to contract the INC market
for an indefinite period.
The growth of the automobile industry
during the past ten years has been one of
the amazing developments in the domestic
life OF the nation. Five pcr cent of all tho
people IN the country now live upon il. and
