King Johns Bath,

As to the washing habits Of royalty
In former times, there Is one thing, at
least. to be remembered to King
Johns credit. His accounts show that
that constantly travelling king nearly
always had a bath at his resting
places during his journeys.
His water man" could generally
reckon upon getting the bath fee of
fvepence. For to our early king, as
to the modern sojourners In most no.
tells. bath was officially accounted
as an extra, to be paid for as such.
The royal water man obtained hts
special fee every time his majesty de.
manded bath-except upon the three
great church festivals. - London

writer In the Family Journal (Lon-

After that time, 1t is believed by
competent authority, not more than
$4,000 men were added before the
capitulation, although the classes of
1918 and 1919 should have produced
minimum of 100000, and the new
law affecting the Lanstrum between
the ages OF SO and SIS should have
produced 100000 more.
Again, on teh eve of Caporetto
the Italian General Staff estimated
the Austro-Hungarian electives to
number 2,239,00G. According to
official statistics received at Geneva,
the Austro-Hungarian armies suffer
ed loss up to the end OF May. 1918,
OF above 100000, and the total
number of dead was placed at 8OO,-
900.
As the, Italians took in all over
100000 Austrian prisoners, and as
the Russians captured over 500, 900.
The total number OF prisoners may be
approximately arrived at. while the
wounded would be the difference Of
sum OF prisoners and dead and the
total casualty figure, 5,211.0OO,
which is reached by adding TO the
100000 the estimate of 1,2l1, 900
Austrian losses suffered since last
May-an estimate made by the Ital-
ian military anth~-'''~"
The Turkish figures employed in
:he great table are British official
estimates except as regards the mum
her of prisoners; that Is exact.
On January 6 the Bulgarian Gov
crnmcnt at Sofia sent out statement
which approximately agrees with
expert estimates, except that the
number Of wounded Is made to ex-
Iced the number of men modified
Evidently the million unit is here
mistake. The statement reads:
"Bulgarian's losses in the war
we're: Killed and missing, 10l,224;
wounded, 1,152,399. and prisoners,
10.825. These figures do not in
clude the losses during the retreat
from Macedonia. when many died of
influenza, exhaustion, and famine and

When Did Civil War End7

Ask anybody the date Of the Civil
wars end. The answer will Invariably
he: april, 1885," But, in n literal
sense. that answer is all wrong.
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war came to an end "at the pc.
Rod designated In the proclamation Of
the president Of the United States"
That proclamation was dated April
2. 1866. Thus the Civil war came to
a formal conclusion on that date, not
In April Of 1885.

Germany's U-boatS were recalled
on October %, 1918. and in the
morning Of November 18th her land
'hosttlfties ceased. UP to August,
1917. she had published nearly l.
900 casualty lists, which were of
great service in calculating her man
losses. Henceforth the lists did no.
appear regularly in the German
newspapers until the Ebert Govern
ment came in. So far. the most COM
prehensive data In regard to Ger
lnany's losses in the war are those
based on Casualty list No. 1884, Of
October "a. 1918, and published in
the Cologne Gazette Of November Is.
They include tho nava! losses, whose
relatively high figure, 70,509, was
due to the fact that numerous naval
brigades were used in the trenches.
Upto October rs the total casual
ties reported were 6,O66,769 of
whom more than 4,750,00 were Prus-
SLAMS. The total includes the naval
casualties, which were 10000, COM
prised OF more than $500 dead, more
than $1,000 missing. and nearly
$4,000 wounded
Casualty List No. 1884, published
on October cath, according to the
Cologne Gazette, placed the num-
Der OF dead at 1,611:1O4. the num-
Der OF wounded at 3.GS3,143. and
the missing at 1852. The paper
says that of the number reported
missing 10000 may be considered
dead.
The Cologne paper uses the word
appalling in describing the casualties
among the officers. The total on Oc-
tiber Gath, included 44,70O officers
killed, 82,460 officers wounded, and
1860 missing, total of 14O,76O.
The loss in officers alone, the paper
points out, exceeds the total casual
ties Of Germany in the Franco-Prus-
sian War of 1870, when the total
losses were 1868
Although the man power of Aus
tria-Hungary was organized on lines
similar to that OF Germany for war,
yet two influences contributes 70 pre-
vent her from mobifizing her full
strength OF 100000 men--the con-
trived absence from the war OF large
number of Austrian Germans and
Magyar officers of noble family, and
the fact that the troops themselves
did not form homogeneous body.
In the first year OF the war the casu-
atty lists published by the Vienna
War Office showed the following re-
suit: Killed. $4,000; wounded. L.
1900; prisoners, 672,100.
Shortly afterward Vienna ceased
to publish casualty lists from which
calculation could be made that
would produce useful general sta
tistics. Early in 1915 the Italian
General Staff estimated, ON informa-
ton obtained from the Intelligence
Department, tho situation Of the Aus
tro-Hungarian Army to be as fol-
lows:
With the armies, 2,220,000; Loss
es after 16 months campaigning at
the rate of 10000 men a month, o.
$4,000; Starred" men tndispen-
sable to the work OF the country,
100000: men abroad, 10000. Total.

WORTH THINKING ABOUT,
FOR THE FUTURE

The State Highway Commission is
looking ahead as to the proper loca-
tion for the Lincoln County Highway.
They know that Lincoln County has a
bright future, and this road is going
to be popular one as "a market and
scenic highway, so who knows but
what the main line of travel will be
across the Yaquira river at Toledo,
ard UP the river on a water grade,
thru Elk City, Morrison and by way
of Chitwood.
Who knows but what the Roosevelt
Highway will cross the Yaquina river
at Toledo? Something to think about.
If the bridge is there, so much the
better. The Government will look
after the upkeep when made part OF
the Roosevelt Highway.
Look the situation over wherever
you are and see If the River Route
wouldn't tap in about the right place
