the action of the missing limbs Will

If the Germans had had the entree

soil among the wretched crowds of
war-refugees, cold, hungry, and en-
feebled, who huddle together where
ever any sort Of shelter can be found
and are forced to live without regard
for sanitation or decency. We have
felt what one of these plaques of dis
porous and well-ordered land; from
trest humanity can do even to pros
the influenza epidemic we may judge
what some of the most miserable
parts of the Old World have suffered
from this and other plaques, includ-
ing typhus, which is still one of the
worst of all whenever modern san
itation breaks down under the stress
of a great war. A British authority
puts at 100000 the deaths due to
lice"
This war, with it's attendant rev.
olutions, famines, and plaques" will
have a tremendous effect upon the
population of the Old World, The
Republican concludes. We can not
yet precisely estimate the effect on
the birth-rate or death-rate or calcu-
late the population of Europe for
1920. In 1910 it was 450,0OO,00O. If
the war had not occurred, there
might have been gain of as much
as 100000 by next year, but now
"the actual increase is likely to prove
small"
The latest German figures are pub
ished in the Kolnische Zeitung of
November 25, which places the num-
Der of German casualties at 6,066,769
I including 140,760 officers and $780,
900 Prussians. The total casualties
include 1,161,104 dead, 1858, 143
wounded, and 1882 missing. Of
the missing the Cologne paper thinks
100, 1000 may be considered dead. This
does not include losses in the last two
weeks fighting on the Western Front
and final figures will probably show
that 100000 German soldiers were
killed. The Tacoma News-Tribune
confesses to certain grim satisfac-
ton in finding that Germany has lost
more men than any of the nations she
attacked, except Russia" And the
Grand Rapids News, figuring that Eat
least one out of every three able
bodied men of ripe age in the Ger
; man Empire suffered death, was
wounded, or missing in the war"
concludes that "that ought to be a
cure for madness of any nation" Our
editors wonder if anything ever will
