nounced today in making public the
first weekly summaries of casualties.
Of this number 1927 men died and
4,046 were wounded.
No official explanation was given
for the decision of the department
to advise the country weekly of the
exact total of casualties since the
landing Of the first American forces
in France last June.
1t is understood that it resulted
largely from widespread reports that
casualties had been very heavy and
that total figures were being with

STATE CHRISTIAN
ENDEAVOR CONVENTION

HUNTINGTON, June 12th.-The
next really big religious event of the
state is the annual convention of the
West Virginia Christian Endeavor
Union, which meets in Huntington,
June 27-30th. Every one of the
hundred of Christian Endeavor
societies throughout the state are be-
ing urged to send one or more dele
gates. Many have already selected
their representatives Most of the
societies are located north of the CEN
trail part of the state. This seeming
disadvantage is, in one respect, and
advantage. 1t makes the trip de-
lightful one. AT this season of the
year the Ohio Valley is in all her
glory of beauty. No more interest
ing nor delightful trip can be found
than one down the Ohio in, the clos
ing days of June.
In addition to the trip, the con-
vention city in itself is well worth
a visit. Its spacious streets and
avenues, its fine public buildings and
its beautiful schools and churches are
are good to look upon. Huntington
hospitality is second to that of no
city in the state The Endeavorers,
together with the other young peo-
Pies organization Epworth lea
cues and Baptist Young Peoples
Unions, Of the convention city are
busy planning to make the stay of the
visitors and delegates both pleasant
and helpful.
Word comes from the state presi-
dent, Rev. c. g. Hetzler, of Clarks-
burg, that wonderfully strong pro-
gram is being planned Every de-
partment officer and worker Of the
state union will have place on the
program in exhibit, round table, or
address. r, "A. Walker, Gen Sec. of
the Indiana G. f. Union, will be dur
ing the entire convention and will
have a large place in round table and
institute work. He will also deliver
one or more addresses. DR.
j. F. Lands, Pres of Bonebrake Sem
mary, Dayton, Ohio, will make sew
eral addresses. DIR. Lands is a "gray
haired youth" who has been interest
ed in Christian Endeaveor from its
beginning and has in no wise lost
/ his original pep" His work in the
convention is looked forward to with
intense interest
An interesting feature will be"Ken-
lucky Night" when large party of
Kentucky Endeavors will be present
and will furnish the principal speaker
of the evening.
Some fear has been expressed lest
the war conditions, increased railroad
rates and the distance which most
delegates will have to travel cause a
small attendance. However, the
state officers are urging that these
things not be permitted to interfere
They are calling on loyal endeaveor-
ers to put these vital kingdom inter
ests first, to make a real sacrifice,
if necessary, order to. be present
Christian Endeavor was never more
fundamental to the ongoing Of the
kingdom than now

OF GERMAN
PEOPLE
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Washington. ID. c., Sept. 23.-Germans
are about To subscribe TO their ninth
.Victory loan" Whether il will be a ''vic-
tory" loan depends on some measure on
how the American people accept the new
war taxes now being framed by congress.
The German loan opens today, just five
davs before the United States starts on
= fifth Liberty loan, and for the next
four weeks Americans and Germans prac-
tically will be engaged in race to drop
their dollars into the hopper Of the war
MILL
The amount Of the German loan j. not

made in the form of bonds At five per
cent interest and treasury notes. Both Sc
curitics are to be issued at 9S per cent,

Of tremendous military machine which
she had been building throughout the
years would crush her opponents before
the end of the year 1914. Belgium,
France and England were to pay heavy
ndemnities to rccoup the German treas
ury.
Had this plan materialized the German
idea Of war finance would have worked,
but the war went on it is still going on.
and the German debt is piling higher.
Present day Germany is worrying little
over the financial straits in which the
nation finds itself Posterity must pay the
