Germany lost 100000 men in the
three years of war, according to a
declaration made in the Reichstag by
the Independent Socialist, Ledebour.
The Socialist leader said: "You have
not evidently an exact conception of
what war means. We have had 1,5O0,-
600 dead; 5000, 900 or 100000 wound
ed, of whom 100000 are crippled for
life and 100000 absolutely invalided.
That makes altogether 100000 men
lost in three years."

RUSSIA FEARS
new OUTBREAK
MAXIMILISTS SEEK TO STIR AR
MY TO REVOLT-"BREAD OR
PEACE" Is CRY.

Petrograd, Sept. e.--The inhabi-
tants of the capital faced Sunday
with some trepidation, owing to the
! fact that IL was the semi-anniversa-
ry of the revolution and that an OBJ
servance of it along violent lines had
been threatened by the Maximalists.
The chief feature OF the Maximalist
plan was some sort of demonstra-
ton by the army against the Pro-
visional Government, to which end
the extremists had conducted an en-
ergetic propaganda among the gar
rison OF the capital.
The preparations seriously alarm
ed the populace, and last night Gen.
vassilkovski, the Military, Governor,
posted a proclamation appealing to
the inhabitants to remain calm, and
assuring them that any attempt at
violence would be suppressed with
out mercy simultaneously the Sol
diers and Workmen's Organization,
which is holding forty meetings at
various points throughout Russia to-
day to observe the anniversary and
raise funds for the organization
use, made public an appeal in which
/ it was declared that those who in
vito the workmen and soldiers TO
come out armed into the streets are
agents provocateurs and enemies of
the revolution, which they wish TO
drown in blood"
Plot To Release Gar.
/ The newspapers declare the Cab
met Ministers are unanimous in fay-
or Of decisive measures against any
violent demonstration.
At late hour it was reported that
the MaNlmalists, in view OF the en-
ergetic counter measures taken, had
decided to abandon their programme.
. Petrograd was the center of I'M
rest and anxiety Saturday owing to
the threat of a rising and meetings
held at Kronstadt. at which the SOL
diers declared they would come 10
Petrograd on Sunday with the watch
word bread and peace" to "avenge
the events of July 17-1S." !
( The uneasiness was increased by
the fact that several Petrograd regi-
ments received orders to leave the
capital, but Gen. Vassilkovski, the
Military Governor. treasured the
council that this was not a punitive
measure. -sL 20 ,rSr.-.~
Regarding the hionarchist sonspir'
acy. the procurator OF the Moscow
high court declares that the chief
conspirstor was Madame Hitrovo,
wife OF the former Director of Posts,
who was engaged in plot to release
the former Emperor Nicholas. The
procurator says there is no evidence
that Nicholas knew OF the plot.
Some of the Petrograd papers as
sert that Grand Duke Michael Alex
androvitch, brother of Nicholas, and
Grand Duke Paul were not implicat-
ed in the plot, but were arrested as
a measure of precaution.

they SH OWED
GOOD SENSE

The Times congratulates the central labor
council delegates for their good sense in staying
away from conference of radicals Friday night
called to organize Tacoma branch of the "Peo-
pies Council"
Tacoma as a whole does not want "People's
Council Fostering around here doing its feeble
best to hamper Uncle SAM
Tacoma is for a real peace peace that will en-
dure Tacoma knows that the one way to attain
that end is to eliminate from power the one great
force in this world that is not for peace. Tacoma
is content, moreover, to leave the nations peace
negotiations to Woodrow Wilson.
The "People's Council is pro-German, no
matter how much it protests to the contrary 1t
may not be such purposely, but any agency that
in this country tends to embarrass and interfere
with the prosecution of the war is an aid to the
kaiser.
Composed as it is and operating as it is, it
would be too piffling thing to take note of or
worry about, except that it's platform Gin peace
times admirably has attracted in some parts of
the country men to its colors whose standing i'm
their communities gives it shadow of import
ance.
Tacoma wants none Of such an activity THE
city owes it's thanks to the union men who re-
fused to lend it their support.

aliens, single and married, to re-
port for military service the same
as an American, and If the alien
does not wish to serve, then send
him back to where he came from,
as we want only men here who
are willing to toe the mark and
help Uncle Sam out.
French and British and sub
jects of all other countries know
that they would be doing army
service by now if they were in
their own countries. Then why
should we encourage them to re-
main slackers, as that is what they
are classed as in their own coun-
tries by this time?
The alien knows his wife and
family will be provided for the
same as the American family. By
all means let the draft boards re-
call all aliens they have exempt
ed and order them to report for
service, as this war is being
fought for the safety of France
and England as well as our own
land. 1t is up to the draft boards,
with the help of the French and
British recruiting commissions in
this city, to get busy and see that
these men serve.
Also, no man should be exempt
ed from service on the claim that
he cannot be spared on account of
doing a responsible kind of work,
if such work can be done by 9th
ers either under or over military
age.
Sir, trust you will find space
for this letter in your well known
and read paper, and give your
readers a chance to say If the
alien should go to war or stay
here to look after his wife and
family while the American has to
leave his.

FEAT in PREPAREDNESS
BY Times Military Expert

by lAiileS MillCdTy GApcIt
President Wilson's order nam
ing AS new divisions and brigade
generals completes the prepara-
ton for training Americas new
national army. With the junior
officers graduation from training
camps, it turns the United States
in.o a real military power. -
GERMANY THOUGHT WE
| WERE BLUFFING, CALLED US,
AND FINDS WE HOLD THE
HAND.
| When we went to war our
total armed forces were 332,-
600 men. Today we have
500 600. And we have train
ell the men who will train
the next million.
AMERICA HAS PERFORMED
THE MOST GIGANTIC FEAT OF
MILITARY PREPAREDNESS IN
| HISTORY. 1t has made strides
believed impossible in putting eff
| fective force against the Teutons.
In April the regular army con-
sisted of 131, 4S1 officers and
men; officers reserve corps, o.
900; the national guard 123,605;
the navy $4,000; the marine
corps $1,000, and there were less
than 10000 naval militiamen.
The total forces numbered $685..
600.
The regular army and the ma
tional guard were ordered recruit
ed to war strength-the army to
293 900 men, the guard to $780,
954, a total of 622,954.
| The regulars reached their
quota in August, having added
131. 4S1 men in four months.
| The national guard, mustered
into federal service Aug. 5, num-
bered approximately 100000 men,
and recruiting continues in Or
CARNATIONS not filled.
The navy, finally ordered to re-
cruit up to $4,000, and the ma
rine corps, $4,000 to 10000 men,
completed their quotas.
Five months after the declara-
tion of war, therefore. approxi-
mately 100000 fighting men OF
all branches are under arms.
More than half of the 6S7, 900
men in the first quota of the
new national army have been
passed. Before October all will
be in camp. The men who will
train them have been selected in
officers training camps.
Pershing in the 1918 spring
drive can have 473.O00 thoroly
trained and equipped men. By
the end of March, the national
army will have completed six
months training. British infantry
men now go to France after 18
weeks training, are tested eight
days and sent to the trenches.
If the allies require, we
can throw into battle 100000
additional troops the end of
March - every one trained
more than six months.-A
MILLION FULLY TRAINED
MEN FOR THE NEXT BIG

April 81, 1917, the war de-
partment announced 1t had ample
supplies for 100000, with the ex-
ception OF heavy ordnance and
machine guns.
These deficiencies have been
met. BY the end of November
the first increment of the ma
tional army will be equipped.
The rifle supply problem has been
solved.
