KILLED IN WAR
The Wounded Estimated at 23,OOO,-
900, and 49,5OO, 900 Have Been
Called to the COlOrs.
NO COUNTRY
PUBLISHES TOTALS
Moderate Estimate Of Military Pris-
Oners Of War I'm the Various
Counties is 100000.

All the bell1gerent governments,
with varying degrees of reticence,
forbear to make public the wastage
of men and wealth which the war
involves. Any private attempt at an
estimate is highly speculative 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 believed that the
errors are, in the bulk, on the side
of underestimate rather than of ex-
aggeratiol says 1.-THE Manchester
Guardian" of England.
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 colo
Nal 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 a large pro-
portion of the missing, which would
bring the total to not less than 170,-
900.
| AS in the last eighteen months the
average strength of the British army
directly engaged in fighting has been
greater than during the first eigh-
teen months, the total for three years
is probably 100000. If we add naval
losses and losses at sea generally,
100000 will certainly not be an ex-
cessive estimate. The French NOR
tality in three years has been estimat-
ed by the Copenhagen society at L.
100000. The Russian mortality is
probably not less than 100000. The
German mortality is hardly less than
l2,250,000, the Austrian than $780,
1 600, the Turkish than 100000, the
Italian than 100000, the Bulgarian,
Belgian, Serbian, Rrmanian and Por-
tuguese together 100000. That gives
a total for all the belligerents of 81.
100000 deaths. If we make an al
arising directly out of the war, we
may put the total loss Of population
to the world as the result of three
years of war at IA ,250,000.
23,5OO,OO Wounded.
The number of wounded may be
put at two aid a half times the
number of killed, or about 23,500,-
900. All these represent human suf-
fering, and not less than one-half, or
1900, 600 represent permanent dis
ablement for military service, and to
a large extent for effective civil life
and labor.
A very moderate estimate of the
military prisoners of war in the
various countries is 100000, and
another 100000 may be added for
civilian prisoners. There are, there
fore, about 4,25O,O0O of men who for
longer and Shorter periods have been
languishing in captivity in foreign
lands, as result of the war. But, of
course, in any calculation of human
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 ardu-
! Gus, perilous and irksome life Of the
army, w can only guess at the num-
Der called to the colors by the various
belligerents, but the following esti-
mates fer both army AID navy are

OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
FRENCH.

PARIS, July 4.-Undismayed by
their terrific losses, the German
army commanders throughout
last night hurled great forces
into battle in another titanic ef-
fort to break the French grip on
the California plateau. The
French official statement today
detailed the heaviest sort of
fighting, but repulse of the Ger
man offensive at all points.
The Germans attacked all
night north of Jouy to California
plateau engaging with big and
effective forces and special at
tacking parties" the statement
said. They failed completely,
losing very heavily. At a GER
tain point in the attack their as
Baulting wave gained several
points, but in counter attacks
they were repUlsed. They did
not keep a single yard of our
positions"
Last nights was the fifth tre-
mendous offensive blow the Ger
mans have unsuccessfuIly launch
ed at the French hold on the
Chemin Des Danes front.

Letter Reveals Hate of Troops for

LONDON, July Reports from
the British front contain extracts
from the letter OF a German soldier
found in a captured dugout. II says:
My dear boy, can't tell you how
sorry ! am that you are being led to
the slaughter bench. but have sworn
that IL any misfortune overtakes you

ludes continually to the fact that the
British shells deprive the Germans u

GERMANS CLAIM
SUBMARINE WAS
THEIR INVENTION

Writing In the Suddeutsche Monat-
shefte, DR.. Josef weis, keeper OF the
archives in Munich, points out with
considerable satisfaction that, accord
ing to records discovered and identi-
ned by himself, two German inventors,
named Josef Bsder and Georg Reich
enmach. worked out a model OF a sub
marine in 1Tes. and tried to sell their
invention to the French republic for
the purpose of enabling France to
break the blockade, says the London
Times
They laid their idea before NJ.
Alquier, the French consul In Munich,
but there Is nothing to indicate that
II ever received serious consideration
by the officials OF the republic. From
the description OF the proposed uD~er-
water craft 1t was planned largely
along the lines OF the primitive sub
marine invented by the American,
David Bushnell, in the revolutionary
war.

ALL PARIS JOINS
IN CELEBRATING
FOURTH Of JULY

PARIS, July 4.-Paris went wild
with enthusiasm today in acclaiming
its gratitude to America.
Its millions cheered themselves
hoarse as a battalion of Pershing's
bronzed veterans swung along in pa
rade, eagerness to get at the foe aP-
pearing in every snappy step.
They cheered again so thunder
ously that the whole city seemed
a-roar as they espied General Perish
ing himself and their own idol
Papa" Joffre-hurrying in automo-
biles.
The first program of Frances old
time celebration of the glorious
Fourth was the presentation of
flags to the American commander,
Pershing, at the Invalides. There
the great crowd was surrounded by
troops massed four deep.
Mobiles Cheer.
The greatest mobiles of France were
oSSemOAeu IN lne center ana they, ike
the populace and the troops them
selves, cheered as the Stars and
Stripes were presented.
Pershing and his stan then motored
across the city to the cemetery.
The military review came later
through streets that blazed with
American colors and the tricolor Of
France, and were lined with cheer
ing throngs. Never has Paris seen
such display OF enthusiasm.
The same battalion of American
troops that were the heroes of this
occasion will leave tomorrow for the
permanent camp OF the American ex-
peditionary army somewhere in
France" and somewhere near the bat
tie line. There they will start train
ing for the trenches.
Their comrades, now at "a French
Port" will arrive later.
Then the American force will move
still nearer the fighting front and get
into action.
