Washington, May 5.-Just one vote

The South remains opposed to

of sentiment in some quarters.
According to the woman's party
figures, solid suffrage vote is as
sured in the coming congress from
the delegations of eighteen western
and one eastern state in both house
and senate. Only one state, Alabama,
they say, will vote solidly against the
amendment. The women entertain
hopes of the conversion of Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, because,
they quote him as having remark ed

The American people must pay
81, ,200,OO0,000 a year for the next
rs years to clear the war debt of
this nation, according to Treasury
department figures, based on an
estimate of the final war debt. The
calculation is made on the assump-
tion that Americas net war debt,
with deductions for loans to the
Allies, will approximate $4,000.
100000. There are those who con-
tend it will be more,
Interest on this amount, at the
rate of four and quarter per cent,
will total $785,000,0O0 a year. In
addition, $4l7,OO0,0OO will have to
be provided each year as a sinking
fund to redeem all bonds in Is
years.
To carry out such plan, includ-
ing the proposed cumulative sinking

WAR LOSSES

Atotal of 7,354,O0O soldiers be-
lonpine to the nations engaged in
the world war were killed in action
or died of wounds, so far as avail
able statistics show, according 10
Cen. March, chief of-staff of the
United States army.
These losses we're divided among
the nations in these figures: Russia,
100000; Germany, 100000;
France, 1,3S5,3OO; Austria-Huneary,
8OO,UOO; Great Britain, 70e,7OO;
Italy, 100000; Turkey, 25o,OOO;
Beipium, 10000, Bulgaria, 100000;
Serbia and Montenegro, 100000;
the United States, $4,000.
These figures are startling, more
50 when it is considered that they
represent only the number OF dead.
Other millions we're wounded,
and tens of thousands were Grip
pied and manned for life.
The wholesale devastation OF
country and destruction OF homes
and property is a matter Oh many
million dollars.
And there are many other losses
Incurred by the war which cannot
be figured in dollars aud cents.
Allin all, it would seem that the
world could not stand and live
through another such period OF
strife and destruction.
And when you begin to figure on
the awful losses, you are probably
quite unable 10 contemplate any
adequate punishment for those
who are guilty OF having inflicted
