Early in the Russian campaign, ex-

ing to replace badly deteriorated locomo-
tives and cars. The events Of the Rus
sian campaign made this impossible.
Female labor already Is being drawn
on to the utmost, the experts believe,
and probably there Is little more labor
to be secured from the conquered coun-
tries. In any event at least year is
necessary to bring them up to German
standards.
The developing situation in Germany,
the experts point out, shows clearly that
even in total war the great majority OF
people must remain engaged in the ordi-
nary pursuits which make life possible
and endurable and that actual fighting
can be only fringe" activity.
Heavy Casualties.
Germany's losses in killed and wounded
since the war began can be placed at
approximately 1000 Oo0-close to half of
the number available for military serv-
ice.
This is the estimate of DR.. Thaddeus
Katelbach, former member of the Polish
Senate and well-known European jour-
nalist, who is now the German expert
of the Polish foreign office here.
His figures, DR.. Katelbach says. are
derived from laborious statistical
analysis Of hundreds of reports Of Ger

offices throughout the country. and, Of
course, Washington had its troubles as
well. and one Of the near-riots occurred
here in 1847. It was in January Of that
year that the National Era, an anti
slavery newspaper was established in
Washington. with Gamaliel Bailey as
editor and proprietor, and John G..
Whittier as corresponding editor. Bailey
was conservative sort of writer and
avoided as much as possible creating
friction with those OF Southern leaning,
who In all probability made up a large
part OF the population of Washington at
that time, though he never hesitated to
advocate the doing away with slavery
in the Territories and In urging a re-
striction upon it so far as new States
were concerned.
Hardly had the Era obtained q good
start here before an event occurred

Tragic Shooting.
Another tragic event Of local interest
involving an editor and his newspaper
occurred back in 1882. The National Re-

the south side OF Pennsylvania avenue

The editors OF the paper at this time
were Joseph Gales jr.. and William Win
ston Seaton. Mr.. Gales was English
born and Col. Seaton was of English
descent and both were earnest support
ers Of President Madisons policy in the
prevailing war. Mr.. Gales was then in

ground agents of the government in exile.
1t is system, he says, which covers
Eastern Europe in an extremely efficient
fashion and its agents, actually are in
daily communication with London.
Il don't believe" DR.. Katelbach says,
that there is such an efficient under
ground service anywhere. 1t is actually
an underground army with its units and
officers much as they would be in an
army fighting in the field"
His own job, he explains, is that of
come in and fitting them into compre-
hensive picture with Implications elimi-
mated. Previous reports Of these workers
often have proved extremely reliable
The German losses, DR.. Katelbach says,
now amount to about the total of those
in the last World War. When this point
was reached, with a death in nearly
every family, Germany cracked, but he
does not believe the conditions are quite
the same this time.
From analysis of the same reports he
says, the Russian losses can be placed
at between eight and nine millions
again approximately half OF the men
easily available for military service AS
a result after 18 months Of war the
relative manpower of the two armies
remains the same as at the beginning,
but with the Germans on the losing side.
Losses in Russia.
The majority on both sides, he says,
have been killed or wounded during the
Russian campaign. The figures include,
however, all the casualties from the be-
ginning-those OF Russia in the brief
Polish campaign in 1899 and in the
Finnish campaign; those of Germany in
Norway, the Low Countries, France and
the Balkans. Also included are the
German losses in Africa, for which he
has taken reports from other sources.
But the previous losses on both sides,
DR.. Katelbach says, were relatively insig-
nificant, considering the number Of men
engaged. He has eliminated from the
reports Of the Polish agents the Italian,
Hungarian and Rumanian losses in Rus
sia. Although these troops have been
literally sacrificed by Hitler, he explains.
their combined casualties will not run
much above half million. Very signifi-
cantly, he points out, the reports Of tho
Polish agents show that about 70 per cent
of the German casualties are Of men be-
tween the ages Of 10 and Is, great mass
Of the flower of German manhood.
DR.. Katelbach's figures are somewhat
larger than those admitted by either side
but, he stresses, the Polish agents are in
position to know and have no occasion
to exaggerate. He believes that his
own intimate knowledge OF Germany
and Eastern Europe gained through 4
lifetime as journalist has enabled him
to weed out duplication in reports which
might be source of considerable error.
The underground system. he points out,
accurately predicted the original attack
on Russia by day-to-day reports Of the
movements Of divisions out Of France
and across former Polish territory.
