basis of the number thus reported, it may be assumed that the deaths from all causes including diseases and ac- cidents are probably less than 45 per cent, and may not be more than 40 per cent of the total casualties. On this assumption, the loss of life in the American expeditionary forces to date is about 10000 or 45,00O."
 The total deaths due to influenza in this country is not known, the an nouncemet said, as only the 46 cities for which figures were given report vital statistics to the census bureau. The greatest mortality due to the cpl demic, in proportion to the population, was 75 per 1000 in Philadelphia, and the next greatest, 6.7 per 1000 was re- ported from from Baltimore.

FOUR TITULAR TRACK MEETS
SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY
BY PAUL PREP

yT>HE intercollegiate track and field
season for 1918 rapidly Is drawing
TO a close. Virtually all the scheduled
dual meets will be completed this week
end. Two district Championships al
ready have been decided and four more
will be awarded this Saturday.
Last Saturday Georgetown University
through the great Individual work or
Gates won the first honors in the South
Atlantic intercollegiate championships,
held at Baltimore, with total of 80
credits. Johns Hopkins was the only
other contender
Gates Enters intercollegiate
Gates was a team in himself, taking
first places In the 100-yard dash. the
44O-yard dash. the .20-yard low hurdles
and the javelin throw. In addition, he
finished first in the l20-yard low hur-
dies. but was disqualified, and third in
the furlong Gates will compete In the
intercollegiates on Franklin Field May
81 aud June !.
In the other titular meet Dartmouth
had walkover. II was the first meet
ing OF the newly organized Connecticut
Valley Conference, held at Springfield.
Mass Coach Harry Hillman's squad
nearly doubled the combined scores of
the other contestants and revealed the
fact that Hilman has developed we'll
balanced squad.
Dartmouth Is Dark Horse
IL Hillman Is able TO bring this combi-
nation intact down to Franklin Field for
the intercollegiate, the Green will be
well up in the scoring because of it's
ability to land thirds. fourths and fifths.
II will be remembered Hillman,
through the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER,
nredicted at the Meadowbrook meet that
the institution which entered the largest
squad in the colleglates would be
returned the winner. Hillman Is deter
mined to cop thc big title. and although
Dartmouth closes ten days before the
championship meet he expects to enter a
large squad and incidentally win the first

will be decided this Saturday are the
Middle Atlantic States Conference A. A
meet at Lafayette; the New England

at East Lansing and the twelfth annual
intercollegiate championships of western
Pennsylvania at Pittsburgh.
II Is expected that the meet at Easton
will be battle between the representa-
tives OF Swarthmore and Lafayette.
Both have entered strong squads and
fully anticipate a victory. Both institu-
tons have several star men upon whom
they depend to win first places. SO 1t will
be the one that is capable Of landing a
greater number of third and fourth POSI-
tons that will win the title.
