Unsatisfactory Casualty Lists.

We have tried to find out from the
War and Navy departments how
many men were killed or wounded in
action in the war and how many died
of disease, and we have not been able
TO get satisfactory answers to our
questions. The latest information
which has been furnished to us by
the War Department is that battle
deaths In the army, including ma
rines brigaded with the army, up to
September 1, totalled 1855; deaths
from wounds, 14,742; deaths from dis
ease here and abroad In army to-
tailed 5S,073; deaths from accident
and other causes 5000; total army
deaths 116,492. Wounded in action
in the army amounted to 205,690,
bringing the total army casualties to
322, 1872" but
war Department records are not
in such shape yet that the deaths
from disease here and In the A. q.
F. can be given with any accuracy"
Thus the total of 5S,O73 given for
deaths from disease here and abroad
is apparently an approximation, and
while 1t may be nearly accurate, 1t
cannot be accepted as final. Bad as Is
the situation In the War Department,
however, 1t seems to be better than

Ohio Is a close second TO New York in
tho number of automobiles licensed in the

second place. On August New York had

easily pass the 500 900 hgure and crowd

From TIE London Morning Pos


From what Mr.. Bonar Law tells the
House OF Commons It appears that DR..
Robert Bridges's post is wellnigh a sine
cure. Such was by no means the case in
Persia-the only country besides this where
poet laureate has been maintained of
recent years Narcisse Persin, a French
traveller who spent some years in Persia
at the beginning OF last century, relates
that whenever the Shah travelled outside
the capital his suite Included a dwarf, q
giant. a Jester, historiographer and q
poet laureate The last two were kept
busy for while the historiog rapher had to
record for posterity all the doings and
sayings OF the King OF Kings the laureate
was expected to celebrate a large propor-
tion OF these In verse. Persin highly COM
mends this custom. which he found rigidiy
followed. "for the Shah. knowing that
many OF his utterances and deeds would be
orystali.@ol in an ode, felt bound on these
royal progresses to speak and behave ma
jestically."

CATION of Kansas cattle raisers.
They represented that the big packers
were refusing to buy more cattle than
their current needs, on the ground ihat
the curing of large quantities of meat
at this time would put them under the
suspicion OF boarding foodstuffs In
consequence, it was said. Western cattle
raisers have been seriously embarrassed
as they have spent large sums fattening
their animals for market.
Attorney Palmer has previ-
ously made II clear that the department
did not consider the preservation OF sur
plus foodstuffs for consumption during
the lean season as boarding.

An example of the methods used
by the League gandists Is seen
in the text Of petition blank recently
circulated for signature In Nassau
county. The petition is addressed to
Senators CALDER and wADswoBrH and
reads as follows:
las a citizen (citizens) of Nassau
county. (we) heyeby urge you to
vote and use your influence to secure
prompt ratification of the Treaty
and the League of Nations Covenant,
without amendments or reservations.
We believe that amendments can be
secured later through the League Of
Nations, and we believe that prompt
ratification Of the Treaty is neces-
sary to stabilize economic and politi-
cal conditions throughout the world"
If any person who has signed this
petition were to be asked to sign a
contract affecting his entire fortunes
and Offering him most disadvanta-
geous terms, would he affix his name
upon being told that amendments
can be secured later? More likely
he would lock. up the spoons and
whistle for the dog. But the petition
asks the New York Senators to ap-
prove that very sort Of a contract.

President Moores report told Of the
efforts to get bail and a fair trial for
the Winnipeg men and intimated that
the action of the Government in Winni-
peg seemed to aim more at breaking
the strike than of securing the peace
and security OF the country. The pres
ident asked the congress to renew their
allegiance to the principles of trades
unionism and, second, that they advise
all local unions to place themselves in
the hands of their international execu-
tive, agreeing to abide by the decision OF
such executive and the constitution of
their respective craft unions. He asked,
third. that they repudiate any connec-
ton with the o. B. U. and its policies OF
massed action, and, fourth, that the
trades council and eleven local unions
affected by the strike pass resolutions
pledging themselves to observe the in
volatility of agreements entered into
between workers and their employers,
whether by tho individual union or by
the federation to which they belong. He
requested, hfth. that the full autonomy
10 decide their own action according to
the laws laid down In their respective
constitutions should be restored by the
Trades and Labor Council of Winnipeg

That clause in the report of President
Moore calling for repeal of the Fedora
ton act increasing the strength of the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police TO
5000 men caused some pointed com
ment and brought the friends OF that
splendid corps to the front Montreal
and Western delegates declared II would
be crime TO cut down or wipe out such
a wonderful body. They had acted un-
der orders in Winnipeg. In early DAYS
they had cleared the country of thieves
and murderers, and In the-last two wars
had proved themselves worthy to a man.
The Northwest Mounted Police should
be eulogiZed by every delegate to the
full extent OF his power, they said.
Other delegates argued that the mounted
men had violated and exceeded the laws
in Winnipeg in the manner OF their ar
rests and were more Objectionable than
any military body of men could be. But
the congress carried the recommendation
for repeal OF the act increas sing the force

force altogether.
