Tho fol lowing Is a summary of tho first yenr of tho war: Tho second year of tho Euro pean war opens tomorrow. On August I, 1911, Germany declared war against Russia and tlio last chnuco vanished of localizing tho AiiBtro-Serblan war, doclarod thrco days previously by Austria-Hungary. All tho great powors of Kurapo wore drawn Into n struggle, tho llko of which history has not 'heretofore recorded. Eleven nations aro at war and almost nil lands aro af fected, directly or Indirectly. Mil lions of men hnvo boon killed, wounded or carried Into .captivity In hostile countries. Rltllons of dol lars have bcon expended. Thousand's of square miles of territory havo been devastated and hundreds of cities nnd towns laid wnsto. Half tho world Is In mourning for tho dead. And although tlio war has boon In progress with uncxaniplod fury for a"year thb result may he summarized In ono brief Bontonco: No declslyo results havo boon achiev ed and tho end Is not In sight. Determination to purBiio tho war to u decisive ending tins been express-, oil by high officials of all tlio belli gerent nations, preparations nro' bo lug made for next winter's campaign, ami, In fact, Indications from Eur ope nro that it Is moro likely to Increase In size rather than doorcase It Is still nn opon question whothor Rulgurhi, Rumania or Grocco will bo drawn In. Xo Standards. . In view of tho Immensity of tho struggle, previous standards count for II tt Io In considering tho prlco tho world Is-pnylng. Tho figures In volved nro so vast as to convoy lit tlo moaning. Tlio nations at war havo poured out their treasures of men mid gold without limit. Tho usual standards of Ufa havo boon subordinated or disregarded, and In somo cases social, Industrial and po litical activities huvo bcon virtually reorganized on a militaristic basis, to mnko all contrlbuto to tho su premo necessities of war. It Is Impossible to obtain accurato statistics of tho number of mon on gaged, the casualties and tho cost For obvious reasons thu slzo of tho various 'armies Is kopt secret. Most of tho nations do not consttlor It ox podiout to reveal tho number of cas ualties; In fact, Groat Rrltaln Is tho only ouu which has given nut offi cial totals. Ah to tho monoy ex pended, thoro aro avnllablo only par tial statistics. Involves Half tho World. More than half tho population of tlio world lives In tho countries nt war. Tho population of tlio warring countries Is estimated roughly at 917,000,000, and of tho countries at poaco 797,000,000. Tho popula tion of tho Kntonto nations Is per haps flvo times as great as that of their opponents. Tho number of men uudor arms has beon estimated variously, usually In tho neighbor hood of 20,000,000. William Mich iioIIb, writing recently In a Dorlln magazine put tho number of sol diers ut war nt 21,770,000; for tho allies; 12,820,000 for Germany, Aus tria-Hungary and Turkoy, 8,950,000.
