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.
The final draft, ll'te both house and
senate measures, provides that of the
gross levy, war excess profits and In
come taxes shall Lear the hoavloBt
burdens.
KEPT THEIR NATIONAL LIFE
LEAGUE PLAN IS FORMED
Outline of Scheme Is Presented to
Paris Conference,
Paris. Leon Bourgeois, the French
delegate on the society of nations, has
presented to President Wilson, Pre
mier Cletnenceau, Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Orlando the text
of the proposal for the formation of
the league of nations, as agreed 'upon
by the Internationa! organization em
bracing the American, of which Wil
liam Howard Taft . Is president; the
British, of wMch Vlsoount Grey Is
president; the Italian, French and oth
er associations.
M. Clemenceau had previously ask
ed M. Bourgeois to secure an agree
ment on the details in alIcountrles
and the plan presented was In re
sponse to this request (
It provides for compulsory arbitra
tion In all dUputes without exception;
the limitation of armaments and a
series of penalties against nations pro
voking war and a detailed provision
ts made for the organization of a so
olety of nations to which all countries
giving guarantees of loyal Intentions

guage and Customs.
' At the opening of the nineteenth
century Bessarabia wss still under the
domination of the Moldnvlnn crown,
but In 1812 ItusNla proposed to snnex
the whole of Moldavia as the price of
her victories against the Turks, Na
poleon, however, who was then pre
paring his great campaign against the
Ituaslau, urged the Turks not to con
clude peace on tbut basis; and doubt
less they would have continued to re
sist the Hussions had It not been that
Morutsl, the dragoman of the Porte,
old Napoleon's secret to the itUHslnns,
who then hastened to sign the pence,
contenting themselves w)th Hew
arable as the s Kills of war. ' 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.
After this annexation the cominer

of Mi-hhm rn lilnn life reinuined true, snd
never lost its ewientlul Uoumunliin

The Mexlcnn war of 1840 lasted
nearly two years. The first actual col
lision and bloodshed was on April 25,
1840, between a band of Mexican
troops tlmt hod crossed the Rio Grande

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,

average exports of pork prod acta,
With the heavy demands added la ear
log for the million who have boon
freed from Gorman oppression, too
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to
day In our every action of stlmulstlon
of bog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be to
fats, and pork will help to aave thla
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built np
In tlils country supplies which will en
able ua to aupply a very large part of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be a shortage In Eu
rope, due largely to limited refrigera
tor ship capacity. All freeier ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro
ducers of this country to the war pro

Reports compiled by the D. S. De
partment of Agriculture Indicate an
Increase In cattle of 10,2.18,0110 head
and 12.441,000 hoes. These figure
were compiled to January 1 last
In this period there was a decrease
In sheep of 81U.000 head. The Indica

ports. 81 nee January 1 unofficial Informa
tion Indicates an Increase In hogs of
not less than 8 per cent and not

Food Administration for an increase
In bog production for marketing In the
,fnll of 1018 and the spring of 1019 the
Increase may yield not less than 1,000,
1X10,000 pounds more of pork products
than were available lust year. With

Honey.
Honey Is the hst substitute for
sugar that has yet been found. In
deed, It Is more tluin a substitute, It
ts a real food. 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.

Franklin Talks ; No. 5
There are automobiles on the market today that will
go 60 miles an hour, or better, on smooth straightaway.
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,
