NEW YORK, July 2S-From a careful
study of what has been made public
regarding casualties in the three years
of war, it appears that about 5000, 900
combatants have lost their lives and
about 10000 0 have been killed, cap
tured, reported missing or so badly
wounded that they cannot return to
the front This takes no account of
the millions of slightly wounded men.
AS time goes on the difficulty of es-
timating the casualties increases.
Only Great Britain and Germany give
out official lists, and those of Ger
many are always far behind in their
reports have been attacked as
misleading.
The estimates given in this article
are conservative. Leaders on both
sides would declare emphatically that
the enemy's losses are much higher
h a stated here. The exact facts
await the end of the war to be told.
ven army staff statements are enor-
mously conflicting.
In addition to the troops losses the
war has also caused the death of, in
the neighborhood of a million civilians
Armenia alone has lost nearly a mil
lion men, women and children.
The table below gives the losses of
all the fighting nations in killed and
in men put out OF the struggle by
death, wounds, sickness or capture:

Private Goes to Top.

FTlNdlc 0Oc6 TO Top.
On July 30, 1861, Lieut.. Gen. Adna
II. Chaffee applied for enlistment as a
regular in the army of the United
States. There was nothing to differ
entiate him from other young men who
applied daily at the recruiting office.
He was assigned as a private to Troop
X of the Sixth cavalry, an organization
which exists today and in which John
J.. Pershing, now commanding u
forces in France, saw his first hard
fighting duty. General Chaffee rose
from private to sergeant, to first SER
geant, to second lieutenant and
through the rest of the ranks until
he was made lieutenant general of the
United States army, the ranking officer
Of Uncle Sans forces.
Chaffee was a soldier of the highest
order. His career in the Spanish
American war was markedly efficient.
He fought at San Juan and later went
to the Philippines. While there he was
ordered to take command of the Amer
lean forces which were to join the al
lied forces in their march on Picking,
the forbidden city. That was one of
/ int LuOSL ouCNCScLui anu 41lu- Nils
expeditions ever dispatched by the
United States. Chaffee won fame for
his service. Within the compass of
his years in the army he had served in
every rank barring that of corporal.
OF the three living lieutenant gen.
erals of the army. all of whom are on
the retired list, not n was a graduate
of West Point. They all came up If
not from the ranks, at least from the
lowest commissioned offices, working
their way by merit, until they received
the highest military honor possible un-
der then existing law, promotion tc
command of the army with the rank
of lieutenant general.
The fact that all young men between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one
are registered for possible service does
not prevent their volunteering for serv
ice in the regular army, the navy oil
the Marine corps. There is a chance
for high service "In the regular
! army. o."

The Limited
Stacks
By Mary l. Parish
(Copyright 1917 by W. G. Chapmanl

Copyright 1917. by W. q. Chapman.)
Everyone In Pentville wondered why
Homer Stack and Fanny Taylor didn't
get married. They had been engaged
Tor two years, and that Is n good while
to keep nm expectant community on
tenter hooks. Pentville was just about
the Size town to feel keen interest in
anything so exciting us wedding, and
to feel In a way defrauded when 1t
failed to come Off. Still. as there
seemed to be no change or decrease of
devotion In the attitude of the two
young people toward each other, Pent-
vile lived in hopes.
Jenny and n few of her intimate
friends knew why the wedding had
been delayed. Homer Stack was the
sole support of an aged father and
mother, who had married late In life,
and had only this one child. John
Stack had never been able to make
more than n decent living out of his
little dry goods store, and failing
health had brought the final collapse
when 1t was sold out and the doors
closed. He had regained his health,
but, like many other men at sixty-five,
had believed himself too old to again
get Into the business field, so often do
old thoughts and rooted race beliefs
make clods and towards of us.
So 1t was that Homer Stack, who had
been graduated from the high school,
and had hoped to go to college, gave
up his ambitions and took clerkship
In store in order to support the fam
lily. 1t was n dubious outlook for mat
i rinony and the young man determined
to steel his heart against the folly of
Ealing in love. But who Is there who
shall say the wind shall not blow
rom the south? AS well say that as
iia'' he shall not feel his heart respond
o"'hen the answering chord Is touched.
Jenny Taylor had studied music in the
big city and now she was giving plano
lessons In her home town. In so small
place her number Of pupils was linn

Making Doors Attractive.

Doors often cause great inconveni-
ence and worry to Mrs. Home Builder.
Few Of them, at best. are interesting
In themselves, and many open awk-
wardly, taking up too much room In
small places. In the latter cases the
door may not be slit in two and swung
from either side. so that II opens
through the middle, but II can be split
through the center and so arranged
with hinges that one part doubles back
sgninst itself.
PnnelS decorate door and add In

Iuite frequently In this country when
the Spanish iden of brass pieces for
this purpose cannot be followed out
because Of added expense.

Great Army of French War
Aviators to Become Mail
Carriers When Peace Comes,

1t Is said that the French govern
ment Is planning to convert its corps
of army aviators, thousands upon thou
sands Of them, into mail carriers after
the war.
There are no technical difficulties in
the way, according to the Toronto
Mail and Empire" Airplane engines
have been perfected to the highest de-
gree Of reliability; their speed has
been developed marvelously. Nothing
short of thick fog, a violent thunder
storm or hurricane bordering almost
on tornado now serves to prevent
fying-with rarely casualty from
natural causes.
Indeed, the greatest defect in the
army aerial service, according to off,
cials in that branch, is overconfidence
In what the airplane engine can do.
Flights of six and eight and ten hours
without replenishing the gasoline sup
ply are now Of common occurrence.
Mountains can be scaled as If they
were mounds under the foot Of Brob-
dingnagian. Aviators leave the Brit
ish side Of the channel and deposit pas
sengers or messengers on the war front
with no more sense of the unusual
than If they had taken a steamer from
Dover to Boulogne.
The possibilities Of mail carrying in
difficult regions have not been thor
oughly investigated, because only the
demands for war efficiency have
brought flying up to the point of de-
pendability needed for general service.
The French government did establish
some postal routes for airmen, but
nothing on an extensive scale was
adopted. Commercially, the utility Of
the fullest exploitation. Britain will
have scores Of thousands of expert
aviators, and not many of these will
abandon the sport" which now is serv-
ing the British armies so splendidly.

Opinions.

Every mans entitled to opinions Of his
own,
He has a right to think 'em out and
make 'em widely known;
But when you feel an impulse to arise
and have your say.
You want to choose your time an keep
from gettin' in tho way.
When Noah built the ark the skies above

That's why tho wicked nei8hbors gather

And Noah said: "If you won't work, why
go ahead and play.
But don't stand round conversing whom
you're simply in the way!"
