Here and There.

Studies of various kinds of statistics
regarding the World War have given rise
to many estimates of the loss of life &C
tual and potential. The latest Is that of
Richard P. Strong, N. D., In the North
American Review. His figures are: First,
$4,000, 900 deaths which occurred in the
military service; secondly, the surplus
mortality over normal times 10 the civil
ian population through epidemic dis
eases, privssion, hsrdshlps, physical ex-
haustiop, and other like causes, which
he places at 10000, 900; thirdly, the de-
creased birth rate due TO the abnormal
times, which, after comparison with pre-
war normal times be places at %, 900, 900,
making in all 100000 souls as the
price demanded for an attempt at world
dominion. In addition to these figures
are others from Alopzo Taylor, who
thinks there are 10 Europe to-day some
more than $4,000, 900 people who have
lost their pre-wsr occupation through
loss Of markets and other causes, many
of whom have become and will become
refugees in and from Europe, suffering
poverty, hardship and disease, which can
only result In further decreased birth
rate.
