This combined force Is estimated at 600,000 men and I presumably be'.ug held for an attempt to wrest Serbia from the Bul garians. The principal success won by Aus trian arm during the year wa a great offensive undertaken agalnt Italy in May. The Austrian forces swept the Italian Invader hark over a wide stretch of country In the southern Tyrol, reconquered about 270 square miles of Austrian terri tory and carried the battle into Italy The Italians rallied, however, and at the close of the 12 months had re gained a large portion of ground and ware vigorously pressing a counter offensive in accordance with the plan of the entente for concerted ac tion On the sea the year witnessed an event of surpassing interest.

One other event on the sea aroused intense interest On June 5 Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, (ir.-ai llrit tain's famous minister of war, was drowned with his staff off Hie Ork neys when the cruiser Hampshire went down It was at first thought the cruiser had been the victim of a submarine, but this theory was gen erally discarded when It was learned that the warship had struck a mine and gone down in the midst of a ter rific storm The second year of the war was a memorable one as far us the United States was concerned Ii marked the upparent final passing of the crisis between this country and (lermany over the submarine warfare which threatened more than once a rupture of relations aud even War other cause of friction between I'nited States and the central s was also removed during the Since the outbreak ol the war in propagandists had la-en but.y tngtlgatiug strikes in munition fac tories which had contracts with Hie allies and in endeavoring In other , Inwiliff llecember for ulmllur roa.nn. the president requested the recall of t'aptaln Hoy-Kd nnd Captain von Pasta, naval ond military attache respectively to Um Herman embassy A number of conviction were obtain ed In the criminal courts In other enses nnd the propaganda ceased.

No definite figure can be given of the cost of the great war In blood and gold but the most reliable esti mate present figure so vast that they become practically meaningless In March, 1916, the lulled stale. general army staff estimated that the total losses In men to all the belliger ents since the war began were 13, 033,000.
