THE WAR LOSSES.
New York Times.)

The latest available table of casual
ties in the great WEI is necessarily
incomplete, and it may be doubted
known about the sacrifice of life, the
manning of men domed to be rem
nants of humanity, and the many lost
to view and never to be accounted for
The casualties Of the Russians can
only be conjectured; records were
loosely kept during the imperial re-
gimc now gone, and such records as
existed have been negulfed in chaos.
1t is estimated, perhaps guessed
would be the filter word-that 1,700,-
900 Russians were killed in the war,
100000 wounded, and that the sum
of the missing or prisoners" was
100000, the grand total being
100000. If these figures We're APP
proximately correct and those given
for the German forces are trustwor-
thy, Russia's losses would be the
greater by nearly 100000.
1t is to be supposed that the French
casualties have been registered with
some care, but druing the war not a
figure was published, and now that
the war is over admitted losses are
limited to the dead, of which the
number OILS 1,07l,800. How many
French soldiers and sailors were
wounded, and how many were cap
tured or missing" has not been di-
vulged, leaving gaps in any table that
can be constructed. The Austrian
casualty list also leaves n good deal
to be desired. The dead are given as
100000; nothing is said about the
wounded and missing or prisoners"
Can anything be definitely known
about Austrian losses Of any kind in
the war, even in Austria, where the
military system broke down long be-
fore the armistice was granted? The
Italian figures have the color of truth
100000 dead, $4,000 wounded, and
SOC, 900 missing or prisoners" most
Of whom the disaster following Cap
oretto accounts for.
1t is when we come to the casualties
of the British Empire, Germany and
the United States that the ground to
stand on has stability, but this should
be qualified by saying that vanquished
Germany is not interested at present
in revising her records, they have
been brought down to date. The Ger
man dead are given as 100000, the
wounded as 3,683,143, and the "miss-
ing or prisoners" as 772,512; total of
6,055,655. Records have probably
been kept well, but there is danger OF
impairment in the confusion now wide
spread in Germany. Great Britain
has published her losses by the month

THE LITTLE TOWNS.

NNcW 1Ork llmeS.)
Oh, little town in Arkansas, and lit
tie town in Maine,
And little sheltered valley town and
hamlet on the plain,
Salem, jackson, Waukesha, and
Brookville and Peru,
San Mateo, and Irontown, and Lake,
and Waterloo,
Little town we smiled upon and low
cd for simple ways,
Quiet streets and garden beds and
friendly sunlit days,
Out of you the soldiers came,
Little town of homely name.
Young and strong and brave with
laughter
They saw truth and followed after.
Little town, the birth of them
Makes you kin TO Bethlehem!
Little town where Jime Brown ran
the grocery store,
Little town where Manuel fished
along the shore,
Where Russian Steve was carpenter,
and sandy Pat McQuadc
Worked all day in overalls at his me-
chanic's trade,
Where Allen Perkins practiced law,
and John, Judge Harper's son,
Planned little house for two that
never shall be DONE
Little town, you gave them all,
Rich and poor and great and small,
Bred them clean and straight and
strong,
Sent them forth to right the wrong.
Little town, their glorious death
Makes you kin to Nazareth!

THE SOLDIERS MEMORIAL,

Shall we, or shall we not, build II
memorial in honor of the bows who
went to war?
Ihere seems no question that n
memorial OF some kind should be erect
cd. Public sentiment favors it. The
question OF moment is, what shall il
DC! Other towns and cities are con-
slderlng several propositions. Some
body proposed that Roanoke should
build great highway up Mill Noun
tain. Happily, this proposition seems
to meet with small favor. Another
proposition is library building. and
one which should be preferred bv n
long ways to the road proposition.
other towns propose a plain, but n
suitable shaft of appropriate design.
This Kind of monument meets the de-
mand If only such an one is wanted.
A far better and more appropriate one
is building of some kind, which can
be used for other purposes-a Y. NJ.
Z. A. hall, for example. Such a build
ing can be brought within any desired
cost. The uses to which it could be
put are many and readily suggest
themselves. What shall be done about
it?
The Clinch Valley News takes the
liberty to suggest that the Mayor call
meeting of interested citizens at 4
suitable time and place to talk the
matter over and put the bail in mo-
ton.

NOTICE

One chief source of road deteriora-
ton is the tendency of traffic to fol-
low constant line of travel, which
wears and depresses the road crown
along this line of continuous use. The
entire road surface, including the
shoulders, ut least in dry weather,
should be used with the view of avoid
ing as much as possible this objec-
tionable propensity. Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drop in holes
or ruts, which ol'struct proper drain
age and cause water to soak into the
road, greatly to its injury. We are al
aware how important and expensive
feature is the maintenance of our
good roads; let us apply willingly,
therefore, since it is to our interest, If
for no other reason, one of the RENE
dies for their economical use.
Respectfully,
G. A. MARTIN,
County Read Engineer.

THE PRICE OF NITRATE.

The interesting information is sent
out from Blacksburg that farmers
will be able to buy nitrate this year
the same rs last year. This informn-
tion is specially comforting in the
fact that the price of the nitrate this
year is very attractive, particularly
TO the small farmer, being only $S1 90
ton f. o. b. factory. We think of
buying several tons to use on the
Experiment Farm" 1t will be graf
