SHOW WAR’S APPALLING COST Figures Reveal Price World Paid ta Prevent Hunnish Hordes Extin guishing Light of Liberty. Some compnrstive figures which force a realization o f the magnitude of the world war are given in Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent, from which is quoted: “ There were 19 m ijor wars fought In the world in the 117 year* from 1793 to 1910. The late war cost 50 per cent more In lives and coat 700 per cent more in monig spent than the whole 19 other wars put together. “The most coetK in lives of the pre nons wars ws* that between England and France. 1793-1815. a total of 1.900.- 000 men having perished. “ Next came the war of 1854-’5fl. In which England. France. Sardinia. Tur key, Austria and Russia fought ; 009.- 797 men were killed. The more recent war between Rus sia and Japan emne third, claiming the lives of 555.900 men. “ In our own Civil war both sides together lost 491.400 men, ranking fourth In loss of life in the great wars previous to the late one. “ In the struggle between France and Germany, so disastrous to France and which played a very important part hi the recent peace settlement. 311,000 lives were lost. “ We Americans who remember or have read of the Civil war. of Gettys burg, of Pickett's charge, of Sher man’s march to the sea. of Anderson- ville. have been wont to look on it as one of terrible slaughter—and it was. “ Rut Russia alone lost more than three times as many men In the late war as were lost by both the North and the South In the Civil war. Germany lost more than three times as many. “ France lost nearly three times as many. “ Great Britain lost nearly twice as many. “ Austria lost nearly twice as many. “ So great has been the development In the engines of death that it Is al most Impossible to conceive the In crease of fatalities in the late war as compared with previous wars. “ There were GO years of war among the various nations In the 117 years prior to 1910. “ As nearly as ova he learned. 5,008.- 097 men lost their lives In those wars. “ That would mean 73,883 lives lost a year, or about 200 a day. “ In the late war there were 200 men killed an hour, about 4,800 for every day of the war; a total of 7,450.200. according to the best available fig ures. That would be about 1,750.000 a year. “ In money cost of previous wars the Freneh-Engllsh war, 1793-1815. comes first with Its tax of $G,250.- 000.000.” Alaskan Fur Seals. A tentative annual census of the Alaskan fnr seals Just mnde by Dr. O. Dallas llnnna Indicates the strength of the herd as 524,2tB1 animals of nil nges. compared with 406.432 seals In 191.8. The number of pups horn, equivalent to the number of breeding cows, was 157.172, nn increase over 1918 of 10 per cent In each class. The aggregate figures for 1010 do not include the seals taken for their skins. According to the telegraphic reports, 22.027 fur-seal skins have been taken on St. Paul Island and 3,354 on St. George Island through the regular kill ing season ending Aug. 10. A special efTnrt has been mnde to rodnee the ex- i-ess of large male j-eals, with the re sult that over 0,400 such skin* have been taken.

An overseas dispatch say* 200 you a r maples have been planted oa the dap- ert of what was Vlmy Ridge. Tht« •• the beginning of the proposed Cano» dlan memorial forest— the maple I# Canada's emblematic tree— and th « saplings Just placed sre declared to- be the only living trees In the war zona- today. How the landscape has been - changed and how the reconstructed- one will differ from that before the~ war! Most Americans think of Hofc land, Belgium. Flanders as painted by ▼an Goy«>. RuyysdaeL Rembrandt and others. Instinctively the niestai picture follows Hobbema's “ Avenue p f Mlddleharols,” with spindling, thlo- shanked. wisp-topped and scant-eo- shade trees either side the road. Wha* a different aspect maples would gtvo* the scene, or oaks, or elms or other wide-spresdlng varieties. The Euro pean, like the oriental, seems to have chosen his favorite trees on some ether basis than expansive foliage— the cedar, the cypress, the palm, the- stonepine, the poplar of Lombardy: yet the inspiration for Gothic cathe drals came from the solemn groves o f orchllke trnnks and limbs and fo liage. and wherever two elms meet there Is the suggestion right at hand. Many years must elapse before the war-torn regions are again venerable with trees, and by that time a new school of landscape painting may have come, glad to paint full, rounded tree»- like the American. Inness; or. revers ing the Inness method, of leaving a circular opening throuch his trees to- reveal the scene beyond, this future- school may feature the transplantetl nipple’s rounded “ urea" in the fore ground while displaying the Europeat* background on either side. BANANAS MAKE BERLIN GLAI> After Five Years’ Absence, This Na tive of the Tropics Is Real Symbol of Peace. As I was passing down the Frletf- rlch«trasse. says a correspondent of the London Times, writing from Berlin, my eye was caught by a crowd o f people which suddenly collected la front of a delicatessen shop. It wns only with difficulty that one conld get near enough to see what It was that attracted so much attention. I heard exclamations of wonder and admiration, and on looking a little more closely saw— a bunch of banana» which the shopkeeper had Just hung up In the window and which was a? novelty to the Berliners, who for n e a r ly five years hnve seen not a trace of thl* fruit, once so plentiful anct cheap In the capital. The smiling faces and little Joke» made It quite evident that the banana wa* recognized as a symbol of peace, and that the delight felt at Its presence was due to the evidence It afforded that the blockade Is a thing of the past. Holding Down a Profession. A young fellow living in oue o f In diana's small towns wns graduated from the high school aud looked about for some easy, yet lucrative profession. He finally decided to s’ udy medicine, and settled down In the office o f the town's most popular doctor for a sum mer's reading. As he read he watch#«! thl* busy man’s hours of work. One day In the late summer the d *f»- tor came In out of a drenching rails, tired out, and a trifie cross. Gland a * at the Immaculate young fellow, who** heels were reposing on the office deefc, he asked brusquely: “ Still think you want to be a doe- tor?” “ Ye-ea,” came the languid snswea. “but I’ve decided to practice only tm fair days, and not go eat of nighta."— Indianapolis News.
