AMERICAN LOSSES
 NOW OVER 2O,0OO.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Casualties in the army and Marine Corps over- seas made public today aggregated 432, bringing the total for the week to 4,916, and the total since American troops landed in France to 20,112. Most of the casualties for the week represented losses in the fighting on the Marne-Aisne front.
 Of the total casualties announced today, 345 were, soldiers and ST ma rines, while of the weeks total, which included today's lists, 4,198 were sol diers and 718 marines. The weeks aggregate of 4,916, compared with 1,43O the week before.
 In the 20,112 casualties total deaths, including 291 lost at sea, men killed in action, dead of wounds, dis ease, accidents and other causes, num- bered 7,716-soldiers, 6,883; ma rines, 833. The wounded aggregated 10,874- soldiers, 9,048; marines, 1926, and the missing, including prisoners, 1922 soldiers, 1,431; marines, 91.
 Of the weeks increase, deaths from all causes aggregated 1,572, as conn pared with 651, the week before The wounded numbered 2,610, compared with 732, the previous week, and the missing and prisoners 34, compared with "A, the week before
 While the proportion of the deaths for the week as compared with the wounded was large, attention was called today to the fact that the cas- ualties being reported now by Gen. eral Pershing represent an accumula- ten as the result of the fighting which began July 15, and it is not to be assumed that the ratio of killed and wounded will be maintained when the final toll of the Marne-Aisne vic tory is complete.
 DecduSe ol IiIc ldCt eHdI tHe AiiSi jeans were brigaded in the fighting with Bitish and French forces, many of the wounded were taken to French and British hospitals, and the task of collecting their names was diff cult one. The problem of securing the names of the killed and missing
  was said to be much simpler and this is taken here to account for the relatively large numbers of killed and missing reported in the first lists.

QUAINT OLD INDIAN COINS
So AduIteratei That They Were Not Even Accepted in England as
 Value in Metal.

In 1908 the independent state of Fly deraDad, India, obtained modern mint and called in the coins that had been current up till that time. The old mint of Hyderabad was little more than a coppersmith's shop in which scrap cop per of all sorts was melted up, ham, mered into plates, cut up into very rough approximations of one tola in weight, and stamped between dies, one of which was Ill the anvil and the oth- CT in toll held in tongs. A blow from sledge hammer made the impression. There was no regularity in shape, weight or stamping, nor was the metal uniform in quality.
 The mint could not furnish supplies fast enough, and licenses were issued to coppersmiths to assist in production. Naturally, the Scientific American states, nonlicensed persons began to manufacture, and adulteration with lead was so fragrant that when several tons Of these coins were sent to Eng land as old metal they were returned on account of their impurity and were finally worked up into brass for local consumption. A "dub," if held in the flame of a spirit lamp, would before it reached red heat begin to discharge very fine jets resembling mercury the lead, having reached it's fusing point, burst from the copper with a force in dicating very high internal pressure.

SOLLIER'S ALLOWANCES.

Under the new plan adopted by the authorities, every enlisted man in the military or naval service, regardless of rank or pay, must make the same compulsory allotment to his wife and children, S15 month.
 To this the government will add a monthly allowance of $5 for moth erless child, $15 for wife without children, to a maximum of $50.
 Heretofore, allotments have been on sliding scale, varying according to the soldiers pay or personnel of family.
 The plan will simplify the distribu- tion of allowances and allotments both by the Bureau of War Risk h. surance and in the field.
 The thousands of dependents in Ar Kanyas who receive these checks will get smaller checks in August for July than they have been accustomed to receive, but the difference will be made up by supplementary checks from the department of the service in which they may be enlisted.
 The readjustment is being made as rapidly as possible, and everybody is urged to be patient, and not to write letters to the department when their checks are received, as it will all come out right later on.

Europe to the United States. In oth- CT words, it ould furnish Europe with the same amount of food and in the same length of time could make one trip as a troop ship and another to transport additional food
 With men leaving our farms in ev- er-increasing numbers to engage in direct war work, we probably see this year the height of our agricultural production. To protect ourselves and the Allies against the inevitable shortages of the future we must take advantage of this years production to lay by reserves.
 Although public eating places and households which voluntarily went to a no-wheat basis earlier in the year have been released from their proTi- ise to forgo entirely the use of wheat, they must still practice economy. Re- lease from their pledge only places them on the same basis as the rest of the American people. Probably as long as the war lasts they must use Victory bread. They must face as rigid economy in other directions. Especially is this true at present in the case of sugar. The American people as whole are expected to adopt on August 1, an honor ration of two pounds of sugar per person per month.

MUST PREPARE FOR LONG WAR.

"We cannot administer the food problem on the basis of one years war. We must prepare for its long continuance if we are to insure ab- solute victory" declare the Food Con- trollers of the United States, France, italy and Great Britain in a joint resolution adopted at conference in London. The resolution, which was cabled today to the United States Food Administration, emphasizes the necessity of building up reserves in North America as an insurance against possible crop failures here and elsewhere and the diminution of agricultural labor. The cable fol- lows:
 Resolved, that while the increased production of the United States rem ders it possible to relax some of the restrictions which have borne with peculiar hardship upon all our peo- ples, yet it is absolutely necessary that rigid economy and elimination of waste in the consumption and han ding of all foodstuffs, as we'll as in- creased production, should be main tained throughout the European All lied countries and in North America. It is only by such economy and elimination of waste that the trans portation of the necessary men and supplies from North America to the European front can be accomplished and that stocks of foodstuffs can be built up in North America as an in surance against the ever-present danger of harvest failure and the possible necessity of large and emer- gency drafts to Europe. We cannot administer the food problem on the basis of one years war. We must prepare for it's long continuance if we are to insure absolute victory"
 Before the war, only about 10 per cent of the food deficit in the allied countries was provided by America. Approximately. 5e 55e per iseess. eeessst of the AL lied deficit was filled last year by the Tinted States and Canada, And from the 1918 crops we will very probably be called upon to supply a much larger proportion of this ever- increasing European deficit.
 About 1,500,000 tons of shipping could be saved if we made it possible to withdraw ships now taking to Flu rope food from Australia, India and South America. Were this done, it would be possible to transport and maintain in France much larger army of American soldiers. Many of the difficulties of convoy could be overcome if the bulk of shipping piled the single lane between Europe and North America. Interpreted in terms of men on the fighting front, every ship diverted from Australia could perform an equivalent service from American ports and in the time it had taken for one round trip from

Guard Your Breath.

"A mars breath" says Popular Sci- ence Monthly, lis often betrayer of secrets. He may have been out late, sitting up with a sick friend, but when he reaches home his loving wife at once opens up her battery of re- breaches.
 "Now comes the news that two in ventors in Osceola, Ark, have joint ly invented breath-guard of new pattern. It is said to be efficient, but not in the manner you were thinking of. It is intended to protect dentists, barbers and physicians from inhal- ing the germ-laden breath of their pa tients or patrons. It consists of a small curved shield of glass placed so as to cover the nostrils and held in position by q spring clip gripping the partition wall of the nose on the ln- side. Many diseases are directly com- municated through the Inhalation of tainted air, and a device of this kind should be boon to professional peo- pie who are compelled, by the nature of their duties, to be in close proxim- ity to those whom they serve"

 FEELINGS OF THOSE
 GOING 'OvER THERE"

In these days of war and colossal. tragedies the letters written by the American soldiers to their parents have proven to contain the choicest bits of sentiment to be found in our present. day publications. Usually these let ters come from the heart and are merely for the close communion that so frequently exists between father and son or of the mother.
 The letter reproduced in part below was written by Sergeant Robert c, Buchanan of the 144th United States Field Artillery and contains his mes sage of farewell to his father before going "over there' He writes to his father, who has been for some time in Phoenix. in the following language:
 'In all of these days, which all we boys are passing through. we think of those of our own flesh and blood prob- ably more than anyone else. We won der if they think of us, and if they fully realize our work and our mission. Per haps they do and perhaps we expect too much sympathy. But whatever it is, their letters are the sprouts of new energy. the breath of new life.
 q have been in the service now for eight months. These months have done much for me, more than probably the same months would have done for me in civil life. I have seen and heard much and it has brought me closer to the true meaning of true fraternalhood. There are men in my battery whom eight months ago never knew l existed, nor that l was aware of their existence Today we would gladly carry death on our "tunic" to help one another. Time and the fraternalhood has brought that about.
 Il am your only son. Maybe have not always been what you would have me but always in my heart you have been my Great Big Ideal, and why because you were my Dad. The name implies it all You have seen me grow from babyhood to boyhood, from boy hood to manhood. You have seen me in trouble and you have seen me in happiness and you have always shared whatever there has been with me.
 But Dad, you and have gone those years thinking little too much of our selves. Yes, we have been selfish. We have not thought of her who has given us of her all who has made a home we can look at and be proud of. Today l am about to face the Great Adventure, as they would have it called, and, Dad, if ever I am sent "oYer the top it will not be my training or my confidence in my gun that will take me. It will be to protect her who brought me into the world and watched and cared for me these 25 years-my mother.
 NOW, Dad and Pal, l want to come back from over there, and the first place l want to come is home. I want you and mother to greet me first. Then ] want to take off my coat and all three of us join hands and secure happiness. Now, Dad, I'll soon be back-it will not be long-and I'll do my best against the boches and when it is all over, let's make our home once more glisten with happiness and, joy. Let's always be pals and let us always be true to our selves-we two-father and son.
 T feel proud to tell you that I passed the highest gunner's examination in the battery and am now an expert gunner"

RANCH LISTED AND
 SOLD IN ONE HOUR

When 1t comes to genuine alertness, the Davie Realty company who already have the well earned reputation for progressiveness in real estate matters, certainly are entitled to go to the head of the class. One of the sales closed by the firm the past week is a good illustration of it's wide awake methods. A rancher came into the office of the company to list his place and while he was giving the description to one of the salesmen another party came in to buy place. It was the first visit of both parties to the company's office and the parties were strangers to each other
 The salesman who was attending to the wants of the prospective purchaser overheard the details of the listing as it was being taken down by the other salesman and as soon as it was com pleted he obtained the particulars of the property and immediately took his customer to see it, arriving there and actually selling the ranch before the owner returned. The whole transac- tion from the time of listing in the property, covered. but little over an hour. The property is known as the I'itzer ranch and was purchased by William A. Abbott
