With tho English channel the Yser canal was choked with tho dead. According to official Drltlsh stat istics, tho Drltlsh army alono has been losing of late, In killed, wound ed, and missing 2,000 a day. On Juno U, Premier Asnulth announced that DrltUh casualties slnco tho be ginning of tho war excluding naval losses of 1.1.IM9 i' to May .11, amounted to 2&8.0C9, of which tho total or killed was r0,:t 12. Him Into Millions Tlio losses of (lermauy, France and Itussla, by reason of their largor nrmlcs, have been far greater. The Hecr Und Polltlk of Dcrlln early In June estimated that more than fi, 000,000 soldiers or tlio countries at war with (lermany and her allies have been killed, wounded or cap tured. Hlllalre llolloe, tho English military writer, said (lermaiiy's po tential manhood for actual fighting probably had dlmislicd from nil causes by nearly one half In tho rirst year of tho war, and asserted a conservative- cstlmnto was that Germany hnd much nearer 1,000, 000 and II.OOO.OOO mnii permanently out or the field. Estimates or tho total casualties run from 0,000,000 to 8,000,000 with the former figure probably conservative. Cost In Millions. Tlio coat In money runs to n simi larly hugo total. Great Ilrltaln Is now spending about $15,000,000 u day on tho war, according to Premier As(iillh. Albert Motin, general bud got reporter of tlio French Chamber of Deputies, calculates tlio war is costing France fio.ooo a minute, or 14,100,000 a day. William .Mich no I In recently estimated tho dally cost to tloriminy nt $8,250,000, Hay ing forty ilaH of this war cost as in iif h as tlio whole Franco -Prussian war of 1870-1. In March Dr. Karl llolffcrlcli, secretary of the Imperial treasury of (iorninuy, said tho war was costing all belligerents $:I75,. 000,000 a week. On tlio basis of Dr. llelfferlch's estimate, thu first year of the war cost (bo stupendous sum of $11,. 000,000,000. Mr. Mlehaclls putH the figure at 15 billions of dollars, not Including Italy'H expenditures; a sum more than 50 per cent, great er than the gold production of the world during tho last .'.oil years. Other estimates run still higher, to 20 billion dollars or more. Loss of Property In addition to the money expend ed directly on the war, tho loss in destruction of property on laud and boa has run high into the millions proachlng decision, Tho Uerman plan is generally as sumed to have been to deal first with France, In tho early weeks of the war before the Russian army, slower to mobilize, was able to pre sent a serious menace; and then to turn on Itussla. Tho flcrco resis tance of Hclgluni and tho unox uectedly quick mobilization of both the French nnd Husslan armlcB pre vented the full fruition of tills plan. Nevertheless Germany has been able to hold her own on both tho east ern and western fronts. Separate Warn. In reality, the struggle of tho ele ven nations Is divided Into n number of separate wars, related to each other In only a general way. Tho wholo field of military operations may he summarized as follows: In Franco and Dolgliini, Germnny Is battling with Great Ilrltaln, Franco anil Delglum. In August Germnny Invaded lUclgiiim nnd France, pushing southward almost to tho gntes of Paris. Following the hnttlo of the Marne, perhaps tho most Important contest of the war thus far, tho Germans wero com pelled to retreat and have slnco held an entrenched lino from tho Delglau coast to Alsace, retaining possession of northwestern Franco and most of Delglum. In this theatre the war has been so even that tho enpturo of a group of bouses or a row yards or trenches has been considered a victory wor thy of mention in tho official re ports. The Uerman nttempt to break through to the I'ugllsh chan nel; tho Drltlsh victory at Neuvo Chapolle, tho German triumph nt SoIhkoiis, while calling forth au premu efforts, did not materially change the relative positions of tho antagonists along the front of nearly :I00 miles. Eastern Front. On the eastern front Itussla faces Germany and Austria-Hungary. Husslan armies Invaded Gallcla and DiiUowiua, capturing most of the former province, but lost the great er part of this territory as a result of Field Marshal von Mackensou's great drive front Cracow. The Ger mans Invaded Husslan Poland, and their attempts to capture Warsaw led to some of the deadliest fight ing of tho war. In time the struggle hero settled down to trench warfare, much as In tho west, wltli Germany retaining a large pint of Husslan Poland. Russian invasions or East Prussln Great Iosbos are being occasioned by I resulted In disastrous defentH. Fur the cessation or curtailment of ninny t,u"' north, the Germans swept Into forms of productive Industry. Tlio'"11' H'Utle provinces ot Hussla, cap energies or the world have been large- tilling Lilian, on the sea. The un ly diverted to making war.

Neutrals as well as belligerent empllt'lcatiou in this campaign, In which the front has been drawn out more than con miles, from the Dal tie to Dukowlua. Italy, after ten months of uncer tainty, began war with Austria-Hungary. In May, and has occupied a fringe of Austrian territory In tho mountainous region to the north. Trent and Trieste are the objectives have been aflected. The financial of the Italian campaign. Owing to stringency which followed the nm. 'the difficult nature of the ground glou. Neither sldo lias employed large numbers of troops In this campaign. There has been fighting In the Caucnsus and Persia, with no great accomplishments. Further south, In Mesopotamia, there has been sporadic fighting between Tur kish nnd Drltlsh troops. Turkey sent an army to attack tho Suez caunl, but tho main body of troops fa.llcd to reach Its objective. In Africa French and Drltlsh for ces occupied Togolnnd and part or the Knmcrun, German possessions. A Drltlsh nttack on German East Atrlca was defeated. Tho Insular possessions of Ger many In tlio Pacific woro captured by Great Drltaln nnd Japan. Tsing-tau, the German fortress In China, was captured by tho Japan ese, aided by a Drltlsh contingent. Avoided Ken Rattles On tho sens tlicro have buou no great battles. Great Drltaln's su premacy, owing to tho overwhelming slzo of her fleet, has not been dis puted to tho ultimate Issue, tho main German flcot having remained In homo waters. Two Gorman cruis ers which wero In tho Mcdlttoran I'lin when tho war began went to tho Dardanelles, nnd woro acquired by Turkey. A row Gorman cruisers and convorted merchantmen, Inclu ding the famous Emdcn, and the Karlsruhe, Kronprlnz Wllholm and Prims Eitcl Freldrlch, raided ship ping of tho Allies for a time, but wero eventually sunk or forced to lutorn In neutral ports. Tho Austro Hungarian fleet tins remained In tho Adriatic and the Turkish fleet has been kept from tho Aegean. Gor mnny's merchant mnrlue has been swept from tho sens. There havo been several hattlcii cf liuportnuco, however. In tho first month of tho war Hear Ad mlrnl Dently's squadron dashed Into Helgoland Dlght, ueai tho groat Uerman naval station, nnd sank three Uerman cnilseis and two tor pedo boat destroyers. In January occurred a battlo In the North Sea between Drltlsh warships and n Ger man squadron which presumably was attempting a raid on tho Eng lish coast. In this battlo the Ger man cruiser Dluecher was sunk. Off Chilean Coast Tho German Far East squadron defeated Vice Admiral Craddock's Diitish squadron off tho Chilean coast on November I, sinking the Good Hope and Monmouth. Tlio Drltlsh obtained their rovengo In December when, ofr the Falkland Islands, a powerful DrltlBh squad ron defeated tho Germans, sinking the Schnrnhorst, Unelsenau, Leipzig and Nuernberg. Germnn squadrons hnve twice at tacked tho English coast, causing sonio loss of life ami damage to property. English towns Including London have also been attacked by German aircraft, which have made several successful trips across tho North Sea, raiding points on tho east coast. Alter the .Methods. Methods of fighting have been al tered radically in consequence of tho lessons learned In tho first year of tlio war. It has been pre eminently a war of machines. The resources a f forded by modern scien tific development have been taxed place or cnvalry. It has caused a revision of the tactics and strategy of war. Aorla,! observers, flying over the opposing lines, aro nbjfi to discover movements of any largo bodies of troops, rendering that form of strat egy based on surprise attacks or quick movements In force Impossl divided Europe for years Into two alliances with a theoretical Imltnira of power: Great Ilrltaln, Franc) and Hussla. formliig tho triple ontotito and Germany, Austria-Hungary end Italy, constituting tlio triple 111- a nee.

Every considerable movement of In fnntry Is preceded by a heavy ar tillery bombardment, nnd frequently tho Infantry has llttlo more to do than occupy the positions ot tlio en emy made untcnblo by artillery tire. The doadllncsB or machine guns necessitated recourse to trenches, for no troops In exposed positions could llvo within tho range of the rapid rircra. Consequently 'trench warfare has developed to an extent never boforc seen.

Tho remarkahlo exploits or submarines have proved their efficiency bo thor oughly that already tho supremacy of battleships has been challenged.
