TOTAL CASUALTIES
Up to Cessation OF ttOstiIlties
Number Reached 236,ll7

Total American casualties up to
November IL, when hostilities
ceased. was 236,117. This In
cluded, according to a statement
made BY Gen. March, killed and
died Of wounds, died Of disease,
unClassifed deaths, wounded and
missing.
The casualties we're tabulated by
Gen. March as follows:
Killed and died Of wounds, 49,
ia; died of disease, 14,81l, deaths
uncIassi6ed, 2,204; wounded, 49,
625; prisoners, 2,153; missing,
1,16O. Total 236,117.
While the total losses at first
glance appear to be almost double
the total estimated by officers be-
fore an analysis Of the table, it was
pointed out, shows that among the
179, 900 wounded was included the
names of thousands of men whose
injuries were so trivial they we're
never admitted to hospitals and the
record of their injury was kept
only in company and regimental
stations.
The number of Americans taken
prisoners by the Germans, little
more than two thousand, is strik-
ingly low in view of General
March's announcement that a total
in round numbers" of A, 900 Ger
mans had been captured by the
Americans. The fact that the
American armies have been NOV
ing forward continuously since it
entered the battle, doubtless ac-
counts for the great difference.

the pre-legislstive gathering will
be as numerous as usual this De-

A GREAT RECEPTION
Promised Wilson on His Visit
10 London

A special from London says that
President Wilson will receive the
greatest reception we ever gave
any guest. No progress any en-
peror ever made will equal his"
says the Observer in an article
discussing the coming visit of the
president to England. It adds:
I'VE rejoice that an event we have
so urgently advocated is now as
sured."
The newspaper, discussing the
question of the freedom of the
seas, says: There is a profound
contrast between America, which
is solid continental unit, and
the British Empire, which is es-
sentially maritime system.

for guarding it correspond to the

countries and their sources of life

doubtless be difficulties surround

Germany's War Debt

Germany's war debt, not count
ing any indemnities the allies may
demand, is $4,000, 100000, aC-

When we add to this sum the
amount she will have to pay in in

do things. we will get some con-
ception of the cost the war has
been to the German empire.

one of the most effective pitchers in
the league. His mound work was the
best since 1912 when he won 10
straight games.
When Bender first appeared on the
Phillies' field last year it was easy to
see he was a different pitcher from
the man who had had such a bad sea-
son 1916. He showed the results of
training and exercise during the win
ter. When he rounded into pitching
form he proved the Bender of old one
of the hardest men in the league to
hit.
With Alexander, Rixey and Law
ender gone from the Phillies it looks
as though Bender will have to assume
the role of star pitcher for Moran's
team. Robinson has lost Sherry
Smith and Cadora from his battery
staff and Vanguard probably will be
called upon to the premier po-
sition there.

Two old-time pitchers as pitchers
go may be the bright shining lights Of
the National league this season if last
years performances have anything to
do with it.
Brooklyn claims one of them, Rube
Marquqard, famous as the $4,000
beauty who was transformed into said
beauty from a $4,000 lemon by Will
bert Robinson at New York and who
was believed about through a couple
of years ago when McGraw sent him
to Brooklyn.
The other is Chief Bender, since
1914 considered a member of the we'll
known Hasbeen club, whose sterling
work last year redeemed him and
makes him a candidate for premier
honors with the Phillies this season.
The work Of Marquard and Bender
in 1917 was one of the big surprises
in the National league. Vanguard was
