 Men killed in action or dead of wounds numbered 1,O28,000, and to this total must be added 299, 900 list ed as missing and given up for lost, making total of 1,327,000. The number of wounded was 3.ooo,ooo, with 435,0G0 listed as prisoners. Three-fourths of the wounded have recovered either entirely or at least to such an extent as to be fit to work again.
 Slightly less than 100000 are abso- lutely unable to work and have been penstoned. To these figures must be added those who will come back from prison camps in Germany unfit for work. The French government esti- mates that the total number of unfit and pensioned may finally be between 800.0o0 and 90O,oO0 men.
 The losses among native troops coming from French cc1ories or pro- tectorates were 42,5 killed or died of wounds. with l5,0O0 missing. and very probably dead. The mum Der pensioned after wounds or illness was 44,o00, to which must De added those Of the $500 held as prisoners of war. who will have to be pensioned
 If one considers only the losses among French citizens" said the onmission's statement ''and conn., pares their nrmher to the population of France, about 38,000,000. and to the number of men mobilized, about 100000, one sees that the total killed or dead of wounds, missing, and unfit for wor4- was between 5 and 6 per cent. of the French popula- tion and between 26 and SC per cent of the men mobilized''

OF NATIONS
 SHOULD FORM FIRST
Lord Robert Cecil Thinks This Is Initial Step Toward Peace

Paris, Jan. B. (By the Associated Press)-Lord Robert Cecil. who has arrived here with the first section of| the British peace delegation, ex- pressed the opinion to the Associated Press today that the definite organi- zation of a league of nations is in- dlspensabl as first step toward en- during peace and satisfactory settle ment of intentional problems.
 Lord Robert made It clear that his statements were pereoual views and not official.
 Joint Action Essential.
 Joint international action in an organized and recognized form is necessary" he said. 'fn order to re- heve millions of people who arc des- titute Of food and other neccssar ries Of life owing to the unsettled condj- tions of the world; 10 regulate per- manentlv many vital common inter- esus sUch as international railways, posts, waterways. telenraph and wire. less. the use Of the air, public health and the protection of women and iu- veniles in industry; aNd to discharge adequately and justly thc rcsponsi bilities of the greot civilized nations in such 2 great matter as tho protec- ton and guidance or backward pcO- ples. It is tho sum of all these rec ognized joint activities, interests end responsibilities that we call by tho name of league of nations It is our business to give this ia&Eue dcti- nite form here and now
 Opposes Indefinite Measures.
 Lord Robert showed that he has little sympathy with the view that 1 1,y, ora f1Iya \ drift into a prolonged session which will ultimately become Q league cf nations without teiug definitely and positively organized
 This imDresses mo as being a tims for the creation of 2 body Which will be effectively organized and not al- lowed to drop into inactfon.' he said. We are. moreover. anxious not to commit tine democratic peoples to re- responsibilities they are not prepared, deliberately and consciously, to ac- cept. It is, therefore, important to avoid vagueness and tc define our policy clearly and openly"
 Asked how far armaments can be limited. by O league Of nations, Lord Robert. replied:
 Disarmament Question.
 That. in my opinion, is probably the most difficult problem the peace congress will face. Individual na- tions will hardly be willing to dis arm until they are sure of peace and justice through the operation of the league. Moreover, how can any lin- itation of ornaments be actually en- forced? What assurance can We have, for instance, that Germany will not create an army more or less secretly?
 Cooperation Must Be Secured.
 "The world did not know how eX- tensivcly Germany was preparing for war. She might develop another force under the guise of militia. We must endeavor earnestly to secure CO., operation etween the~powers repre- sented at the congress in a broad policy of denobilization which will correspond with the yearnings Of all peoples to be relieved as scon as pos. sible from the burdens they have borne for these last four and hale years.''
 Lord Robert said the conditions were the same with naval forces.

AND THEY
HURRIED HIM
To THE JAIL

Speed records in crime for West
Hammond were shattered when Thomas
Clark. colored. while drinking with
Florian Angelo. stole his watch. pawned
it at a second hand store several blocks
away and got back in time for the next
drink without his companion noticing
his absence.
Clark. who was firing the heating
plant at the Majestic hotel. went over
to West Hammond Tuesday evening and
spent some time with Angelo at a bar
In some manner he managed to break
the chain on Angeles watch without at
tracing attention. Then after taking
another drink at Angeles expense he
beat it with the watch. At a second
hand store he received 50 for it and
the charm which happened to be a per-
fectly good fifty cent piece.
Returning TO the saloon he once more
slipped into his place alongside of
Angelo who bought him more drinks.
Presently Angelo decided ii was time
to 90 home and his hand sought his
watch At once he accused Clark of
stealing it. An officer searched Clark
but found nothing, but he was locked
up while an investigation was made. He
later confessed and this morning was
fined 5000 and costs and taken to the
Cook county Jail to serve his sentence.
