PATRIOTS FIRED BYEL00UENT
 SPEAKER AT MASS MEETING
Assembae Hears Review of Issues and Strong Plea For
 United Americans In Support of the Red Cross

Scott, last evening at Red Men Hall. An outline of the American Red Cross, it's connection with the war, and the reason why every citizen should par ticipate actively in it's work, were clearly outlined; continuing MT. Scott said, that the people of the United States are becoming daily more keen- ly alive to the needs of the hour and look confidently to the Red Cross to do it's share in upholding the cause of humanity and civilization. That all depends on the strength of her man hood and the heroism and courage of her womanhood, who by patriotic ser vice and lofty useful work in the great humanitarian cause, may make de- mocracy safe for the world.
 Before Singing America, the clos ing number, Rev. Kelley urged that those not already members of the Red Cross, join immediately the To- cal Chapter. :;

GOOD WORK IS APPRECIATED

In the name of the cause and for myself personally, I desire, thru the columns of the Progressive Miner, to thank the Captains of the various teams and also the members of the teams for their very efficient work in yesterdays Red Cross Drive. In their great world work, which means so much to humanity, it is indeed gratify- ing to find so many people willing to devote their time and energy in assisting the movement without hope or expectation of reward save that reward which comes from the consciousness of having done some good in the world. The work has only begun, and I solicit your further persistent ef- forts. to the end that we at home shall not be thought derelict in our duty to those who are to bear the brunt of the battle at the front.
 MRS. J. R. HICKMAN,
 Commander.

FIVE MILLION WERE KILLED AND MILLIONS
 MORE WOUNDED
Military Experts Consider Esti- mates Unusually Conservative
(A&sociated PresS)

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-From care full study of what has been made pub lie regarding casualties in the three years of war, it appears that about 5,000,00O combatants have lost their lives and about 5,OO0,0O0 have been killed, captured. reported missing or SO badly wounded that they cannot return to the front. This takes no ac- count of the millions of slightly wound ed men.
 AS time goes on the difficulties of estimating the casualties increase. Only Great Britain and Germany give out official lists, and those of Germ any are always far behind in their re- ports and have been attacked as mis- leading
 The estimates given in this article are conservative. Leaders on both sides would declare emphatically that the enemy's losses are much higher than stated here. The exact facts await the end of the war to be told Even army staff statements are enor- mously conflicting.
 In addition to the troops losses the war has also caused .pe death of probably millions of civilians. Arme- mia alone has lost nearly a million men, women and children.

CUBAN COMMISSIONER WILL TAKE UP WORK
 OF COOPERATION
Captain Reno Brings Data Bear ing on Cuba's Ability To
 Help in War
Associated PrsSs)

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Imuiediate steps by the Cuban Government to co- operate more closely with the United States food administration during the war will be discussed in Washington early next week at a conference bet ween Captain George Reno. of the Gu ban Department of Agriculture. and Herbert C. Hoover, the United States Food Administrator. Captain Reno brings from Havana data bearing on Cuba's ability to become more and more a self-supporting nation, so far as the production of foodstuffs is con. cerned, and to be less of dependent on other countries for imports of di. versified food materials.
 During his stay in the United States which will be an extended one, Cap tain Reno will discuss with other Gov. ernment officials closer coordination between Cuba and the United States in methods of maximum price-fixing, transportation of sugar and other crops from Cuban ports to this coun- try and to other of the allied nations and other preparations which Presi. dent Menocal of Cuba and his advis- CTS have long had under consideration. Vice-President Emilio of Cuba, who formerly headed the Cuban Depart ment of Agriculture, has worked out plan in consultation with President Menocal and various Cuban econo. mists, whereby next years product ion of diversified vegetables and live. stock will, it is believed, reduce the importations of food supplies and re. lease considerable tonnage space for the transportation of the Cuban sugar crop and various war materials re quired to carry out Cuba's plans for making her coasts impregnable to pos. sible German attacks.
 For many years" said Captain Reno Cuba has been known principally for two principal crops-sugar and tobac co. Accordingly. the imports into Gu ba of standard foodstuffs, such as fresh meats. potatoes. vegetables and fats have not shown and reduction in the face of the fact that Cuba's material resources from agriculture have prac tically doubled in the past few years This is condition which the Cuban Department is now engaged in remedy ing, and I purpose to gain from Mir Hoover detailed suggestions as to how this work may be carried on still l more efficiently"

IRON CROSSES ARE
 CHEAP IN GERMANY
 ARE GIVEN FREELY
Some Men Are Given The Much Coveted Cross Who Never
 Smelled Powder
(Aseoc6d1ed Prces

COPENHAGEN. Aug. 11.-That 2.200,0O0 iron crosses of the second class and 49,O00 of the first class have been awarded during the war Is shown by announcements published in Der lin, copies of which have been receiv. ed here.
 Of this number 3,660 were conferred upon individuals behind the front" but 1t is certain that the number of persons wearing the decoration who have never been under fire is much larger The classification behind the front" probably applies only to non combatants engaged in war service, and not to individuals. like Von Jagow and other civilians. who from time to time have been stationed at the main headquarters.
 A horde of wearers of the iron cross have been simply employed at the headquarters and by the stan. never smelling powder unless perhaps it was during the repulse of long distance airplane raid. As an example Of the lavishness with which the crosses are handed out correspondent of the As sociated Press was present at lunch. con party of eight at the main head quarters in 1915, where the seven Ger mans present all had been decorated and not single one of them had ever been under fire.
 During the Franco-Prussian war about one in every 20 participants was given an iron cross .and except in the case of high military comman. ders and sons of royalty. it was award ed only for exceptional bravery in the field.
 The value of the iron cross now has become so debased, because of the vast quantities granted and the number of swivel-chair heroes who have thru their influence received them, that the establishment of new order for valor is being talked of.

TO CHANGE HOLY LAND
 INTO JEWISH REPUBLIC
Palestine to be an Allied PrOtec. torate at the End of the
 War
Associated PresS)

LONDON, Aug. 11-Palestine is to become a Jewish republic at the end of the war, according to a recent re- port made public here and cabled to Washington. It is possible that the disposition of the Holy Land was one of the subjects discussed by the Brit ish and French envoys with President Wilson and Secretary Lansing at Washington. That the United States would favor such a plan is considered certain.
 According to the report the Jewish republic, known as Judea, would be a protectorate of England, France and the United States acting jointly. Jer- usalem would be the capital of the new republic. which would have local gov ernment,
 Should this plan be carried into op- eration a great migration of the Jews back to their ancient land will likely take place. Not great many are ex- pected to leave the United States, but the several million more or less per. secuted members of the race in Rou- mania, Serbia. Austria-Hungary and Germany. along with some from Rus sia, no doubt vii ltake advantage of the chance to live in a state where they will have equal opportunity as well as the right to worship in their old temples.
 Jerusalem, under such a condition would become again city of millions and the great spaces of now arid lands in Palestine would be reclaimed.

A FUNDAMENTAL
 ISSUE DISCUSSED
Right Adjustment Would Mean The Rule of Right And Not
 of Might

Our great social problem Is how to make the man at the bottom loom so large and seem SO important that all other men will cease to think of him as thing and treat him as a person.
 The real social problem out of which other minor problems grow and of which they are really only aggravat- ed symptoms is the world old problem of the right relation between persons
 This is a fundamental issue and to solve 1t would solve all these minor manifestations. The friendly relation of men is therefore not alone the gist of the race problem. but 1t is the gist of all social problems.
 The age long struggle has been how to get men rightly to adjust them selves to all other men.
 Right adjustment to other men would mean in the economic realm that no capitalist would want to beat down below q living wage the labor 1 CT who made production possible. It would mean that no laborer would want more wages and shorter hours than the condition of production would stand.
 Right adjustment between men would mean that no landlord would be willing to live easy of rents of houses which made health and happi. ness impossible to the occupant. It would mean in return that no tenant would demand more than that for which he gave just return. and he would protect the interest of his land lord as he would protect his own in terest.
 Right adjustment would mean in all walks of life the rule of right. not the rule of might.-Southern Workman.

 BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Aug. 11-More than 1000 prisoners with some 50 officers were taken by the British in the Ypres salient alone in the great British at tack this week. Prussians, Bavar- ians and Saxons all have given of their number to swell the total captur- ed and no more dejected appearing men have been seen in British prison stations since the beginning of the war.
 Particularly noticeable was the scar city Of veteran non-commissioned off, cers and the large number of troops from the 1918 class. who are nothing more than raw recruits. One veteran of many battles freely expressed his contempt of those youngsters, who he said lacked stamnia to stand up under the hardships of war and could not be depended upon in a tight place such as they found themselves facing yes terday.
 4 majority Of these prisoners were a miserable, sorry looking lot, many of them suffering from internal con,- plaints caused by exposure and the ma iority from hunger Few of them have any hopes of Germany winning the war and one officer ventured the opin. ion that the time of the fatherland's downfall was near He based his op- inion largely on the scarcity of men, and certainly boyish faces now in pris- on cages appear to be indicative of lack of human material.
