Sioux city Journal-N erthclcss.
Sioux city is a pretty good town. A
fairly decent town. A lot of US still
consider it well worth while to live
here, and to raise our children here.
Isn't 1t queer that visitors from the
outside should be so interested in dis
covering our wickedness and vice that
they overlook entirely some Of the
things in which We take Just pride?
Wouldn't it be an unusual thing ii
one of these outsiders at some time
or other should take occasion to praise
US for what we are doing to further
education, morality and Christianity
u schools. our charities, our houses
of mercy, the churches we build and
maintain? \ little extravaganza of
statement along that line now and
then wouldn't do a bit of harm, and
il might DO some gOod-and it would
be so unusual. The visiting clergy
man who tells Us about our vices does
not enlighten Us particularly-he tells
US nothing which we do not already
know. We are better informed than
he. But he assumes that we are do
ing nothing about it-that Is the point
he tries to emphasize. 1t is something
of a mystery, however, that this job
OF enlightenment is always left for
the visiting clergyman. If matters are
so bad, why must we wait for the out
slider 10 tell Us about it? Are our own
c~lergymen less keen of vision or less

great new struggle which we trust
shall bring to us a fulfllment of the
Spirit of Him who came to bring
Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men "
The decalogue is as follows:
l. Do not chatter. Keep to yourself
the news you hear, your own impress
sions, and your apprehensions.
2. Do not listen to alarmists, TO
slackers, or to those who would spread
Encouragement. Silence them.
8. Be moderate in your spending,
neither lavish in gifts nor sordid in
your economies. Let everything IN
your life, even your daily expenses,
take on at this moment its r ma
tional Importance.
4. Encourage national industries,
avoiding goods, even though they may
seem better and less costly than
those made at home.
s. Do not look upon the departure
to the front of those dear to you as
an abandonment. Be with them CON
stantly in thought, as they are with
you, particularly in the hour Of dang
er; and do all that you a to replace
them in their former occupations.
6. Do not complain of the difficulties
annoyances and privations caused by
the war. Think of those who are
dying for their country and complaint
will halt upon your lips.
7. Multiply your activities. in your
home as we'll as outside, thereby ren
dering yourself useful to your coun-
try by the work of your hands, the
warmth Of your heart, and the clarity
of your intelligence.
s. Exhibit day by day and hour by
hour the same courage a man shows
upon the field of battle. Instruct the
ignorant, uphold the feeble. console
those who are stricken; transmit your
own confidence to others.
8. No matter how long the struggle
may last, await victory with strength
and patience.
10. If you are stricken in your dear
est affections, bear your sorrow nobly,
that your tears may be worthy of the
hero whose death you mourn.

"WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
BROOKINGS?"

This question has been asked sever
al times lately from tie public plat
form. one thing we believe is NOT
the matter with Brookings, and that is.
we are not a moral ccsspool or a de
PRAYED community. In calling off our
short comings the good things about
had commercialized vice, the saloon
has not been here for about thirty
years. Compared with other towns Of
like size We are as clean and decent
as any and Il agencies for good are
more numerous than many large cities.
We have seven churches well equipped
for all forms of worship. We have
ministers drawing as high as $1,000
per year, all doing a good work. We
have a splendid educational institution
with the best instructors obtainable.
We have unexcelled public schools.
Crime is an unusual thing among our
people. We are generous in giving to
worthy causes and We are patriotic.

paredneSs of the entente at the dis astrous retreats in France at the be- ginning of the war, in Russia from the Mazurian lakes and the Carpath- ians and in Rumania.
 The entente'S dead total 2,S9O,4OO against l,55O 500 for the central em- pires; the cntente'S wounded total l. 1 676,5OO, against 922,OOO for their enemies, and their captured and miss | ing l,652,OOO, against 912,OOO for the central empires. These losses are based upon the assumption that in Germany 90 per cent of the tota! wounded return to the front and so per cent in all other countries.
 Russia Heaviest Loser
 Russia is infinitely the heaviest loser so far, with a grand total of %,- OS4 POO men. The bulk of these losses occurred in the Mazurian lakes disaster and the two retreats from the Carpathians when prisoners were taken by the tens of thousands. More over. lack of communications and hos pital facilities has made the death rate in Russia extraordinarily high. Their dead total l,5OO,OOO, their wounded 7S4,2OO and their prisoners and missing SOO,OOO, which is sa;d to be much low-r than the probable number.
 France has suffered the second highest casualties with total of L. SlO,SOO Darre;y because of the early retreat to the Marne and the terrific losses in the batrle e Verdun. Her dead total S7OGOJ. her wounded 540,- 500 and her missing and cantured 100000, though this last figure IS be- lieved here to bc probably high.
 England Is Lowest
 England's to;al falls far below, bc- ing about one third of rrance's and one-sixth of Russia'S, owing, of course. to her laro sending of contj- mental army. ;'rom TOW on, however, her losses are 70 p cc:cd to keep fairly close to those o' thc cuch, who have seriously felt tho drain on man power. England's total comes to 5l5,4OO, with 2O5.4OO dead. lO2,5OO woandcd anal lO7,5OO captured and m.ssing.
 Rumania, though entering th" War only las, summer, has los, half 8 mjj- lion men through her taaM attempt to cross into Pennsylvania woca tay central powers were ontAan1irs her through the Dobrudja Her dead arc given as 100000. her wounded a. l5O,- ooo aud her captured and missing abca, 25o.oo0.
 Italy Escapes Lightly
 ItaDy has been saved from extreme casualties through the impossiblity of open operations on her mountainous frontiers. Her total reaches 100000, including 100000 dead 49,OOO wound ed and 55,OOO captured and missing.
 Belgium and Serbia, the two small states ovemun by the German ma chine, after desperate resistance, have both lost very heavily in proportion to population. Belgium's casualties come to ll2OOO, with 5O,OOO dead, 22,- OOo wounded and 10000 captured and missing Serbia's dead comes to CO., 900. her wounded to 2S,OOO, making a total of SS.OOO, with the number of missing and captured large, but un- known
