AMERICAN CASUALTIES.
Officials Estimate That American Cas-
ualtics in France VIII Not Ex-
ceed 100000.

Officials at Washington estimate
that the total casualties of the Amer
lean expeditionary forces in the war
will not exceed 100000, including the
men killed in action, wounded, died
of wounds, disease and accident and
the missing who never will be account
ed for. Some of those who have been
missing probably will be accounted
for when the prisoners are returned
from Germany
It is said that it probably will be
several weeks before the record of
casualties can be completed. 1t is
regarded as almost certain that many
casualties in recent heavy fighting by
the first and second armies have not
been reported. Deaths from wounds
also probably will be reported for some
time, while lists of slightly wounded
being sent by couriers may be delayed
The daily lists for several days have
consisted of approximately -l,1OC
names daily. Secretary Baker has
indicated that considerable number
OF reported casualties remain to be
given out but these will be released
as soon as newspapers can handle
them. An unofficial table of published
casualty lists, including those of No.
vember IL, shows grand total Of H..

inspiration to our folks.

can say it was greatly enjoyed by a
nice little audience.
There is some little sickness
throughout this community. None
seems to be of very serious nature
Mrs. 1. T. Brown has been sick, but
the general health of the community
is good.
l hope to be able to give some new:
concerning the Philadelphus higl

deeply grateful to the members of

Famine Seems Inevitable for Mil.
lions in Russia.

1OnS IN RUSSIA.
Relief for the suffering millions in
Observation-Disclosures Central Russia
furnishes a problem which the allied
and American governments have as
yet been unable to solve. In fact, one
official at Washington is quoted in a
dispatch of the 11th as saying that
not even a method of solution had
been determined upon.
It is now regarded as practically
certain that it will be impossible to get
food to the forty million people in
this territory this winter. With food
row scarce and anarchy rampant Off
cials here fear that famine is inevi-
table and that the toll of death may
reach astounding figures.
In their efforts to find a way to aid
these people, statesmen of the asso-
ciated governments are working on the
conviction that the Bolsheviki are not
representative of the Russian people.
AS long as the Bolsheviki remain in
power, however, it is admitted that
there is little probability of getting
even the very necessities of life to
them.
The way to Russia is through Ger
many, one official said today, and un.
til that way is opened there is nc
chance of aiding Russia. AS yet, how.
ever, the American and allied govern.
ments have not determined upon the
advisability Of sending military
force into Central Russia, even if the
situation in Germany becomes stable
enough to permit the passage Of troops
through that country. 1t also was saio
that no addition to the allied ano
American forces operating in Siberia
and northern Russia in conjunction
with the loyal Russians and Czecho
Slovak army is at present contemplat
ed.
Officials said that conditions in 81
| IBERIA and northern Russia were rapid
ly improving, while in Bessarabia an,
Ukrainia good order is being main
tained.
