DEATH TOLL IS APPALLING
British In France Fired 200,000 Tone
ef Ammunition In Five or Six
Weeks— How Transportation
Difficult!## Are Overcomo.
Loudon.—Qou. Sir William Robert­
son tn a speech recently gave a graph­
ic Impression o f some of the extraor­
dinary aspects o f the present war. It
has become merely trite to observe
that the war hns now completely over­
shadowed every other occupation and
Interest In the world, but the exteut to
which It has done this Is suggested In
a moat forcible way by some figures
which General Robertson employed.
In the armies o f all the belligerent«,
he said, there are now 24,000,!KK) men.
which excludes the great civilian
urwlcs behind the fro n t; lu the Fran-
co-Prussian war the total o f all casual­
ties was less than 300,000, while In
this war the killed aloue can ho count­
ed by tho mltltou.
•'During the past five or six weeks
we have. I suppose,” said General Rob­
ertson, “ expended some 200.000 tons of
ammunition, which hns had to he
moved by road, rail and sea from the
factories In England to the guns In
France and man-handled probably not
less than half a dozeu times.”
Great Transportation Task.
Tw o hundred thousand tons of am­
munition means rutlier more than 16,-
000 carloads as measured by the mlulu-
tnro freight curs commonly loading
about twelve tons that are used In
England.
General Robertson dldu't
suggest, hut any railroad manager with
whom one talks will promptly make
good the omission, that the mere trans­
portation o f this one Item of war sup­
plies at a time when freight cars have
been sent to France by the thousand
constitutes u terrific drain on the coun­
try's capacity to move things.
T o transport ammunition Is a par­
ticularly delicate and dungerous busi­
ness and It Is only because o f splendid
organization and high efficiency among
railroad employees that there have
been so very few accidents and prac­
tically no real disasters as Incidents to
this service. General Robertson paid
a special tribute to the men who huve
organized and carried on this branch
of war work.
Comparing the scale and scope of
the present war with former struggles,
General Robertson was particularly In­
teresting and Impressive. He observed
that the greatest peculiarity o f the
present war Is In the colossal numbers
of men employed at the front. As a
matter o f fact, he omitted to empha­
size his figures by observing that the
great proportion o f the civil popula­
tion Immediately engaged In work for
the support of the army Is quite as Im­
pressive a peculiarity of this struggle,
A W arfare of Machinery.
It Is a warfare of machinery anil
mechanisms, many of them new anJ
heretofore almost untried. These have
required to be pro», .iced, to he tested
and to have great bodies of men
trained for using them.
Comparing the present war with
that o f 1870 between Germany and
France, General Robertson observed
that “ In the 1870 war armies were
counted by the hundred thousand, and
at the battle o f Gravelotte, where the
heaviest losses were Incurred, the to-
tul casualties were only about 33,000
men on both sides, while for the whole
war the total casualties of both sides
were less than half a million.
“ In the present war the killed alone
can be counted by the million, while
the total number o f men engaged
amounts to nearly 24,000,000. In fact,
this war Is not, as In the past, a war
merely o f opposing armies, hut a war
o f nations, and there is not today a
man or woman In the empire who Is
not doing something either tn help or
to hinder the winning of the war. A
man o f great distinction told me the
other day that he estimated the weight
of purely military effort at only 25 per
cent o f the whole, the remaining 75
per cent being, strictly speaking, o f a
nonmilitary nature, and made up of
many elements— agriculture,
food,
shipping, diplomacy, etc. I think he Is
probably not far wrong, and when peo­
ple ask me, as they sometimes do, how
the war Is getting on, I feel Inclined
to reply, 'W hy ask me 7 Why not ask
yourself and the remainder o f the 75
per cent 7* ”
Allies Outnumber Enemy.
General Robertson's figure o f 24.-
000,000 as the number of men octnally
engaged In the mllltnry operations Is
probably based on as good Information
as any man In the world possesses.
The British general staff knows all
about the armies of the entente coun­
tries, and knows nil that anybody out­
side Berlin and Vienna knows about
those o f the central powers.
He didn't suggest how the numbers
are now divided between the two sides,
but it la very certain that the entente
nations decidedly outweigh their ene­
mies In mere numbers. The Germanic
powers on the other hand, have the
great advantage of shorter lines and
easier communications. With Russia
comparatively Inactive, It la not at all
certain that the weight o f numbers la
now very decidedly In favor o f the en­
tente peoples. But the weight of ma­
chinery la decldely to their advantage.
In this connection there has been
some Intimation In I'etrograd recently
of the possibility that Japan might be
called upou In some fashion to take a
more active part 1» the struggle.
The first suggestion o f this sort
which came from Russia was In a brief
dispatch saying the government had
categorically denied persistent rumors
that Japan might he employed to bring
pressure against Rusala with the pur
pose of couvtuclng Russia that It would
he highly uudeslrahle for her to re­
pudiate livr obligations to her allies.
Such a suggestion of course would he

I'etrograd Is unquestionably absolutely
correct, according to tho best authori­
ties here.

au Immense cxpuualou of the currying

such prejudice us formerly existed
against Introducing Asiatics uud A fri­

The conception of this war as u war
of the whole world has been strength­
ened very greatly since tho bcgluulng
o f the present year. It Is looked upon
by the western powers now as every­
body’s war, a war In which everybody
