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.”

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.

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."—
