FEBRUARY 13, 1019 CROOK OOCWTT JOURNAL rage ARMY CASUALTIES AREJABULATEO Total of 53.807 Americans Killed and Missing In War. Washington. An official tabulation by divisions for the Amarloan eipedl Uonary forces, 1)5 per cent complete to date, in made public by the war department, showing that major cas ualtlet la the lat (Oregon, Washing ton and cither weitern itatei) totaled 1701. L " The tint division did not get to the front until about three months before the armistice ended hostilities. How over, It saw a total of 41 days of ac tual battle, although all regiments were sot ongaged for this number of days. Its losses, therefore, aro exceptionally heavy la comparison to those of divi sions which reached the fighting sonei earlier In the war. - The totals for all divisions eiclu slve of the two regiments of marlues la the Id division are: Killed In action, 27.782. Died of wounds. 11,31)1. ' Missing In action, 1 1,849. Total klllmi and miming. (3,107. Prisoners. 2715. Grand total of major casualties, 11.692. Examination of the losses by regl mmits shows clearly that the brunt of the fighting felt on the Infantry. In every division that got. Into action, losses were many times greater, even proportionately to the Btrenath of the units, thrti those of the artillery, ma cblne battalions, trench mortar bat teries or engineers. A score of regl nfcnts lost fully one-third of the full strength of 3700 mun In killed, died of wounds, missing and prisoners. When figures on the wounded are available, officers believe the total casualties now In several reginenls may equal the full strength. The first rrgulsr division, built up out of the original force Genxral Per shing took to franca, suffered the heaviest casualties with a total of (244. This division was first to reach the line and was almost consUully lu action until the end. AGREEMENT REACHED ON WAR REVENUE BILL Washington. The war revenue bill, revised to raise about 16,000,000.000 by taxation this year and $4,000,000, 00 annually thereafter, assumed final form when the senate and house con ferees reached a complole agreement n the measure. The tax on campaign contributions, a senate provision, which the house voted to reject, and later to accept If modified to apply only to future cam paigns, was so amended. The conference report and final re draft will be called up In the house Friday, with the expectation of Its ap proval before adjournment It will go to the senate Saturday and Chairman 8 Immons, of the senate managers, said Its passage was certain. . Absence of President Wilson, the conferees said, made doubtful the ex act date the new tax law would be come effective, but would not Inter fere with treasury plans for collection Cf new taxes.

' Thus the Itotimnulans of Bessarabia were sev ered from their klusiuen of tthe two Danublan principalities; and the In justice was only partially repaired In the Crimean war In 18MJ, when the southern districts of Cuhul, Isinsll and Itolgsrd were restored to Itou nianla. Hut at the Berlin congress (1878) HUuiarck and AmlrusKy, In their anxiety to prevent a rapproche ment between Russia and Kounmnla, prompted the Itusslan government to lay hsnds upon Bessarabia once more.

The first actual col lision and bloodshed was on April 25, 1840, between a band of Mexican troops tlmt hod crossed the Rio Grande and a company of American soldiers. On May 17, 18-10, President Polk sent a speclnl message to congress reciting the facts and grievances, and said: "As war exists, and. notwithstanding all our efforts to avoid It, exists by the act of Mexico herself, we are called upon by every consideration of duty end patriotism to vindicate with de cision the honor, the rights and the Interests of our country." During 1840 the bnttle of Palo Alto was fought, May 8; battle of Monterey, September 21.

Few people, unfortu nately, know how to keep honey. All too often It Is stored In an Ice chest or a cold cellar. Under such condi tions It Is almost certain to solidify or turn Into candy. The best place to keep honey Is on the top shelf In a warm cupboard. If you find that It has hardened set the container In a pan of hot water until the contents liquefy again. There Is little adultera tion of honey these days, for adulter ated honey Is easy to detect. You can buy It and eat it without fear. Hurrying Time.

Sometimes people ask us how fast the Franklin can go, and we usually ask them whether they have In mind just a short spurt or long distance running, for there la quite a distinction. , 1 When we speak of Franklin speed, we say that It will go most miles per day, take the roada as they come. Speed Is more than a succession of fast clips, interspaced with a succession of snail paces. The Franklin makes such good time because It keeps going, doesn't have to slow down for every rough spot or turn In the road. Most drivers who don't know the Franklin are aur prlsed at this quality when they have their first ride. They find it hard to realze that the perfect balance of weight and the flexible way the Franklin is builtk allow . It to hug the road nd the turns so much easier than a heavy, rigid car. The light weight and easy riding of the Franklin keeps down road shocks so that neither car nor passengers are affected by fast travel. In other words, Franklin speed ia different, and it gets you there without realizing you are making good time. It doesn't come from excessive power, that can be used only once In a while, but from the proper amount of power, that can be used steadily, hour after hour. It takes a ride In . the Franklin to show how true this is. Yours truly, WALT1IER-WILLIAMS COMPANY, GEO. E. McCLURE, Representative, FRANKLIN DEPT. BEND, anci THE DALLES
