BIC WASTE IN WAR

$4,000, 900 DEAD AND MANNED

Berlin Paper In Making Comparisons
Says Funeral cortsee Of 100000
Men Killed Would Reach From Paris
to Vladivostok, One Hearse Following
Another.
Berlin.-The Berliner Tageblatt sums
up the results of the war to date as
follows:
war loans. $4,000. 100000; loss In
dead and wounded. 24,00O,O00 men;
killed, 100000 men; crippled for life,
100000 men; loss through decrease Of
birth rate In all belligerent countries,
100000 men.
THE gold production of the world
during the last 500 years amounted to
S15. 0O0OO0.O or less than one-tifth Of
the cost of the awful world war;" the
paper continues. "In five dollar gold
pieces the Ss7. 100000 raised In war
loans would form a belt that could be
wound around the earth nine times.
THE funeral cortege of the 100000
men killed would reach from Paris to
vladivostok II one hearse followed the
other.
when the war began the combined
public debt OF oil European states was
a little over $25,0O0.OO0OO and now 1t
is over Sl12OOO,0O0,OO0 The British
merchant feet In 1914 represented a
value of about $9J0,000,000. That Is
less than the annual interest England
now has to pay for her war debt. Be-
fore the war Germany exported goods
to the amount OF $ll3.000000 per year
to the British colonies. By cutting off
this export England can eventually re-
imburse herself for her losses. but this
will take more than 200 years
Germany, with the amount spent by
her for the war. could have bought all
the cotton fields the copper mines and
the whole petroleum industry of the
United States and still would have had
several billion dollars left over.
Russia. with her war expenses,
might have covered her immense terri
tories with a net of railways as close
as that of Belgium and France. whose
losses In men are larger than the entire
male population of Alsace-Lorraine.
could have bought all the Portuguese
and Dutch colonies with the money she
sacrificed for the war.

that the awful struggle would have
been avoided If the nations had any
idea of its enormity when 1t started"

Persistent and careful inquiry about
the potato crop OF 1916 brought me
three different answers. One was that
it amounted to 100000 tons.
Another estimate was 28,00o,0o0 tons,
and the third was 100000 tons more
or 100000. An acquaintance in
the Food Office, who became semi
confidential on one occasion, admitted
that the estimate OF 23,000,000 was
very close to right. I suspect that 1t
it erred in any way it was on the liberal
side"
Furthermore, it was not merely that
the 1916 crop fell alarmingly in guam
tity, but it was exceptionally poor in
quality and has not been keeping well,
says Mr.. Davis. The growing season
last year was one Of constant rain and,
we read, vast quantities Of potatoes
were cached while in soggy condition.

BOY PREDICTS WARS END.

case of a child. aged seven. which has
a bearing OH the present war. Up to

Then he was again mute. The father
then broke a dish to see If the child

said. Two dishes are broke"
A doctor decided to break dish also.
The child exclaimed. Three dishes

three days. and the war will end In
three months
The boy died on the third day. and,
according TO the letter, the citizens Of
Reform are eagerly awaiting for the
three months to elapse.

lINCOLN'S HOME PATRIOTIC.
Birthplace Of the Immortal Rail Split
ter" Makes Draft Record.


Frankfort. Ky.-Larue aounty, KY,
the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, has
made the record of furnishing every
man drafted for the national army
without single claim for exemption
and without a single rejection for dis
ability This fact was established
through a communication received by
Representative Ben Johnson Oem) of
Kentucky, in whose district Larue
county Is located.
Mr. Johnson says that the county was
called upon to furnish 1872 men under
the draft The men were all regis
tered, all appeared before the exemp
ton boards for examination. none
claimed exemption from any cause, al
though some of them were entitled to
make such claims because of depend
ent families
Il believe that this wonderful show
ing will be unparalleled in the history
of the draft" said Mr. johnson.

that is now old enough to retire to

Mr. Sisk's son Sam found a young
grounding pig. took it home, and that

spring and soon was missing.
Sight had been lost of the animal
but about two months ago the same
hog turned up again and went to the
same quarters where it was reared and
Is still with the family. Mr.. Sisk says
there is no doubt that 1t is the very
same grounding that strayed of from
home a number of years ago. 1t Is
gentle and seems TO have made up its
mind to die among Its former friends.
