Too Much for the Skunk.

Mr.. Cackle Berry vouches for the
following story:
A Frenchman, an Englishman, an
Irishman and a German prisoner were
in an argument as to which was the
bravest.
A Yank overheard the controversy
and decided to settle it. Pointing to
a nearby poultry house, he told them
that there was a skunk inside and
asked the Irishman to step inside and
see how long he could stand 1t.
Pat did as he was told. In five min
utes he came out The Englishman fol-
lowed, but he stood it only four min
utes. The Frenchman next tried 1t,
but five minutes was enough for him.
1t was the Germans turn. He went
in and the others waited. The minutes
passed - O-three-four-tiv
-siX-seven, but no German. Eight
minutes-ten-the skunk came out.

U. S. LOSSES IN WAR
UNDER 100000 MEN
Total Estimate BY Washington Include
Slain, Wounded and Missing.

Washington-Ofici here estimate
that total casualties of the American
expeditionary forces in the war will
not exceed 100000, including men kill
ed In action, wounded, died Of wounds,
disease, accidents and missing. Some
of those who have been missing prob
ably will be accounted for when pris-
oners are returned from Germany.
1t was said that it probably would
be several weeks before the list Of cas-
ualties can be compiled. 1t is regard
ed as almost certain that many Of the
casualties In the recent heavy fighting
by the first and second American
armies have not yet been reported.
Lists also must be compiled Of un-
reported American casualties In Brit
ish and French hospitals, especially
from among the United States forces
brigaded with Allied units. Deaths
from wounds also probably will be re-
ported for some time while lists OF
slightly wounded being sent by cour-
iers may be delayed.
Secretary Baker has indicated that
considerable number of reported cas-
ualties remain to be given out, but
that these will be released as rapidly
as newspapers can handle them.
Unofficial tabulation of published
casualty lists including those Of No
vember IL, shows a total of 1880
men. Careful estimates made, lead
officers to believe that all unpublish.
ed and unreported casualties will not
exceed 10000.
Estimates based on previous rec
ords fixed the total marine casualties
in France at less than 5000.

NATION PREPARED FOR PEACE
President Favors Creation of a Com
mission to Map Out Work.

hington-Numerous conferences
of government officials and members
of civic organizations here brought to
the conclusion the frankly expressed
opinion that America is better pre-
pared for peace than she was for war.
The outstanding questions Of the hour
are:
What machinery will be devised
by the government to take advantage
of industrial lessons taught by the
war?
2-What part will organized indus
tries play in future control and distri-
button of raw materials?
President Wilson favors creation of
a commission to map out work of In
dustrial and social reconstruction.
Senate leaders say they favor plans
for reconstruction by their own con
stituted committees.
Chairman Baruch, of the war indus
tries board, is preparing for dissolu'
ton of his organization and, is ready
to hand over it's statistics and find
ings to officials of any governmental
body to whom may be given any part
of the duties which the war industries
board has borne.
Perhaps the most interesting side
light on the industrial situation is the
announced meeting of some $50 or 4OO
committees representing as many in
dustries of the country to be held al
