heavy, bl:, hey number only abou
! The ss.iae G. Canada's and we have Il
times her population. Belgium. is
credited win putting 100000 mer
into the war and her total casualties
are estimated as high as 100000, Of
(which 50,Ocv we're killed.
The French have refused from the
first to make public their casualties
but everybody knows that they were
terribly heavy. One list credits them
with 100000 men under arms, and
assigns total of 100000 casualties,
including 100000 killed.
Great Britain has also suffered
greatly, and with 100000 men in the
service she has had 100000 casual
ties with 100000 killed A widely
published estimate puts the Italian
casualties at 100000 and deaths at
100000. Russia is assigned by the
same authority a casualty list of s.
100000 and a death list of 3,500,000.
Serbia and Rumania are figured to
have lost 100000 men between them
and to have had a total of 100000
casualties
On the other side, Germany is es-
timated to have had 100000 men in
the field, Austria-Hungary S,000,000,
Turkey 100000 and Bulgaria 1,000,-
900; their casualties are placed at A.
100000 for Germany, the !. same or
more for Austria-Hungary, S00,00O|
for Turkey and 100000 for Bulgaria;
their killed are put, in round numbers
at 100000 for Germany, 100000
for Austria-Hungary, 100000 for
Turkey and $4,000 for Bulgaria.
Taking these estimates as basis,
the number of men that the leading
allies had under arms-not counting
the dozen or more nations associated
with them but supplying few troops
would be about 35, 100000, while those
that the central powers had would
be about 100000, or about two
thirds as many. The total casualties
for the allies would be about 16,0o0,-
600 and killed about 100000, while
the casualties for the central powers
would be 100000 and the killed a.
100000.
The aggregate casualties on both
sides would reach about 25,000,000
ard the killed about 100000. (The
London Times puts the total death
list, from war and sickness, at TO-
)00,000) And yet. this. death toll on
account of the war is considerably be-
ow that taken by the Spanish influ
,nza within a few months, according
o the. estimates. So that war, after
Ill, is not as much of al evil in that
,onse as these insidious diseases are.

spect to this enterprise which we
are more than glad to give. You
know, if you have remembered all of
President Wilson's proclamations,
that this is the third call for this
purpose. The amount collected two
years ago was 100000; and the
amount distributed to the 'Miser-
ables'' was $7,025 900. The Tele-
graph and Gable Companies donated
the use of their Billion dollar
plants; the clerical work is all paid
by one New York man, and the
Banks added 40 interest for all the
balances in their hands, from day to
day. There has been paid in nearly
$3.50, for this present county call
and already that is at work buying
food and raiment for the destitute.
This is not all nor half what ought
to be said to relieve the feeling of
The committee but it is enough to
touch that chord of sympathy. which
has become wondrously responsive
when Indebtedness, out OF this cruel
war, is brought to attention of Pay
cite County citizens.
Don't be afraid of over payment.
The committee at their first bud
get meeting figured that the ''irre-
ducible minimum" was over a hun
dred million, and they have not
changed their minds ON the basis of
meetling the actual need But the
word had gone out for thirty mil |
hons, because up to the "armis-
ice" Turkey prevented sending re-
lief to all but one million of the |
destitute. Now the whole four mil |
ION are within our reach, but the
committee sees no way to increse
he amount except to put the case
before America and hope for the
anne over generosity that has been
hown in all the drives" in which
Va have had part.

War Cost in Life and Blood.

IN know with any accuracy how

.lorities have figured the matter out

ave had 58,514,70 men under arms,
hat they have suffered 24,536,108

Tres are too suspiciously exact to be

Ill we can use as yet is Ground num-
oers," based largely on guesses or

Less than two months ago our peo-
pie were given to understand that the
total American casualties would run
over 100000, and yet shortly after
ward an official. statement was issued
admitting that the total reported up to
the close Of hostilities, Nov. IL, had
reached over $4,000. This is no
doubt somewhere near right, but the
figure is liable to be swelled still by
additions which will be made after ali
the lists are in and checked up.
Gen. Pershing cables that about 40,-
0CO casualties are still to be forward
ed to Washington-these being almost
all cases of severely wounded and that
these should be received at Washing |
ton within the next few days. The
figures as already given
out place the number of Americans
xilled in action or died of wounds at
about 10000, those who died of dis
Ease and unclassified causes at about
1000, those wounded about 100000

Bolshevism alone is a dangerous
destructive, malvolent system; and
when its devotees combine it with
"kulture," as they lave in Russia and
as some elements threaten to do in
Germany, the result is something
more insidicus and wicked than any
previous invention of the devil. Let
all the world be on it's guard against
such a combination.

IDAHO IRRIGATION
CONGRESS At
TWIN FALLS

| The big irrigation event OF the yeal
in Idaho will be the meeting of thu
Idaho Irrigation Congress at Twin
Falls, January 18th to 18th inclusive
in connection with the Joint Confer
ence of various state societies Not
only will matters pertaining to prac-
| tical irrigation be discussed, but the
program will cover range of sub
jects extending to the proposed crea
ton of an irrigation commission to
have control of all of the waters of
the state.
In several of the western states the
conflict of court decisions has been
remedied by the creation of such a
board. Such board, it is claimed.
would pass upon all disputes arising
out of the use of the waters of the
state, thus avoiding the expense, de-
lay and uncertainty of litigation. The
board would take over the state en-
gineer's jurisdiction of water matters.
as well as having the function of a
court.
The conservation of water will be
another topic dwelt upon at length.
1t is pointed out that there are both
vast wastes of water on many of Ida
hos projects and expansive areas of
land susceptible to irrigation The
purpose of the congress will be to
devise some means of securing more
efficient use of the states water re.
sources, in order to make water avail
able for the reclamation of greater
area of land.
Authorities on irrigation matters /
will address the congress on various
phases of irrigation, and after such
address discussion will be invited in
order to get the viewpoint of actual /
water users, irrigation company Off
,ids, irrigation engineers and others

Why Not Advertise.

| In rre-war days the railroads were
one of the newspapers best advertis.
ers.
Under government operation rail
road. advertising in newspapers is cut
of.
Now in Director General McAdoo's
information for the press, which OF
course is for free publication, news
papers are advised of railroad excur-
Son rates to different parts of the
country in order to build up traffic.
Freight and passenger rates have
bSen increased 25 per cent-more
than private management ever
thought Of asking.
The newspapers are wondering how
long it viii be before the Director
General uses legitimate advertis-
ing to build up the trade the roads
now need.
Why not advertise a little, Mr.. Nc
Adoo. The war is over and the news
papers have advertising space for sale
and advertising is o legitimate ex-
pense for any up-to-date business.

1t is not quite true that troubles
never come singly," for they come
singly, in pairs, in threes, in multi

WOMEN PREY OF LONELINESS


Men are amazingly and amusinsiy
ignorant with respect to the mysterious
life led by their mothers. wives. daugn-
ters and aunts. For years at time q
man may go on blindly with MS work
and his play and remain in totai igho
rance about the activities Of these mex
plicaDIe beings. He Is dimly anu duo'-
ously aware that they are not idle. In
his paroxysms in intuition he guesses
thai his comfort and even his happi-
ness 10 some fashion may depend upon
their labors. But the greater part OF
his existence is passed in sublime
ignoring Of all the immense miracles
wrought by women every day OF his
life.
1 have come to the conclusion that
women are the loneliest OF Gods crea-
lures. and that their loneliness Is the
great first cause Of their tireless ana
ceaseless toll, James Douglas writes In
London Opinion. Nearly every woman
goes about with a lonely look on her
face and the older she grows the lone
lier she looks. There are very few
lonely men. for men are gregarious.
They are also. upon the whole. less
imaginative than women. they 1--we
more on the surface. They do not pos
sess that quality of power OF living q
secret inner life Of contemplation and
broodingly retrospective passion. Men
live in and for the hour; woman lives
in and for the past and the future.
They are at war with their environ
ment. Like NOrah In "The Dolls
House." they are always waiting Tor
the miracle to happen. One seldom
sees the print of tragic intensity on
mans face. One seldom sees anything
else on a woman's. II Is this veiieo
tumult Of the soul that drives women
into frantic and feverish labors.
