TEN MILLION MEN
KILLED IN WORLDS
GREATEST WAR
Conflict to Date Has Cost More
Than All Armed Conquests in
Last l20 Years--l6 Nations
Against Kaiser.
RY RICHARD 4. SrDKES.

Three years ago today Germany served
notice on Russia to cease mobilization
within twenty-four hours and two days
later. on August /, 1914, declared war
on Russia, thus preciptating the greatest
armed conflict in the history of the globe.
Only three years have passed, but in
that time probably 100000 men have
been killed and tl.e stupendous sum OF
SlOo,OoO,OcO,OO has been spent by the
twenty-tLree nations, including the
United States, that have become en-
broiled. And this is not the end. The
nations are straining every nerve to pre-
pare for several more years of war.
Probably 1000 merchant ships and $50
warships have been sunk. Large parts
OF Belgium, Poland and Rumania have
been laid waste, besides many fertile and
prosperous parts of France, Austria,
Germany, Turkey and Russia. Because
Austria was determined TO crush Servia
and had backing Of Germany, black men
have slain one another IN Nigeris, on the
Gold Coast and on the Congo; men have
died in China, on the highest peaks of
the Alps, even on the traditional site OF
the Garden OF Eden. They have battled

Men killed: 100000 in three years

Cost: sl0.ooo.Cco.Oco, spent by the
twenty-three nations involved.
Ships sunk: ZOO merchantmen and
at leat $50 war craft.

fissIssippi and reads ~ follows /:

Mississippi and reads ~ follows:
"A young white man, just from sehool,
MAS made riding agent on . farm.
Mounting horse he proceeded TO the
field and, riding up to an aged Negro
standing between the plow handles. ask
Ell what he was doing. The Negro had
for IS years been doing farm work and
in response 70 the question civilly re-
Piled that he was blowing the field. The
riding agent retorted. "You' re not do
ing q damn thing" II the Negro had
come back with any remark the riding
agent could have reser ted, he would
have felt the lash over his head, and If
he had defended himself he would have
been shot down. Down South when q
white man kills a Negro il is simply Q
Negro dead. This is why the Negroes

that they have to compete with white
