THE SOLDfER'S CHANXS3 GOOD la this junmtr of mighty con fllcts, the wire are burdened wlb tor lee of great losses oa tbe western front. We read tbat tbe sallenr held by the Germans between 'Rhelmi and Bplssons la itrewn thickly with th bodies of the dead and there are fruesome talet of the Marne chokel 'vfth tbe 1odtea of Hum who are on fhelr way to Parli by a different fwute from that planned by the high command. Conservative estimate Usee the German losses In the bat tla that la 11111 going on at some- " thing more than 150.000 and allied losses at aomethlng leaf than 100, 00. . . , Tbeee are large figures and their affect la increased by the fact that we are looking at them alone with nothing to giro as the proper per spective. In a similar way Spencer Butte, standing alon above the leaser hills to the south of Eugene, trnlks In the new as rather a notable eminence, but If It were seen by the ' s'.de of the Sisters It would appear so small as to he hardly worth not . ing. We must remember that In or der to get a relative Idea of the loss es ' In the fighting on the western ..front we must think of the casual ties compared with the total number of men Involved. When this Is done ' the danger to the Individual soldier Is not so great. The United States government has Just Issued some figures along this line that are highly Interesting to the mothers and fathers of the boys In France. Theyare based on the mortality statistics of the allied ar mies and show that the soldier has 29 chances of coming home to one of being killed; that he has 49 chances of recovering from wounds to one of dying of them; add that be has only one chance In 500 of losing a limb. They show also that if he comes home safe and sound he will live five years longer because of splendid physical training and the clean and carefully disciplined life he will have led while In the army. The difference between these fig ures and reports of losses in great battles Is that they are based on averages and take into consideration the whole number of men involved, whereas the casualty lists and the stories of losses concern only those who are killed or Injured. The moth er wha Is worried over her boy in France can take considerable com fort from the thought that he has only one chance In 29 of being killed and only one in 500 of coming horn? minus a limb.

Germans began their attack from the vicinity of Arras, oa the north, to La Fere, on the south, and centering their heaviest columns against tbe British forces, under General Gough at St. Quentin. Staggering before the Impact of:1' the blow, the British army fell back rapidly. For eight days the Germans poured throirgh the old allied Una In an effort to crush the lines to the south. Then came a period of re action and the Germans came to a stop. They, had driven ahead for 35 miles, along a front extending more than 50 miles before they were halted. Hardly bad their legions besn held before Amiens than a new of fensive was begun In Flanders )tt April I. It swept the British back through Armentleres, but did aot break their lines. The British, with the French who were rushed up to the front, stopped the Ger mans after they had reached the hills southwest of Tpres. There, on April t, the Germans suffered a ter rible defeat that halted their offen sive In that quarter. Pooh la Suprrme Command In the midst of the drive In the sector toward Amiens the allied na tions took, a vitally Important step. They . named General Ferdinand Foch, her of the first battle of the Marne, geiferallsalmo of the allied forces on the western front, which Includes all the line In Italy as well In France.

The Austrlans crossed the but on the west bauk met with such stubborn resistance that progress was Impossible. Slowly the Austrlans were driven back toward the river, and then the Plave, swol len by rains In the mountains, com pleted the overthrow of Austria's hopes. After suffering terrible losses tbe Austrjans retreated to be east era bank ot the Plave front the Mon tello plateau to the Adrtalio. Miaor thra4lona Among the year's operations of comparttlvely leaser Importance were the British drives In Palestine and Mesopotamia: the Turklah advance In Caucasus; the French and Italian offensive In Albania; and the fight ing la the German African colonies. Jerusalem was captured by the British on December 10, and shortly afterward the fall ot Jericho was an nounced. Since the taking of Jer icho the British forces In Palestine have not been active on the offen sive.

The Orientals, their American of. ncers declare, will make splendid over a wide front, but were unable to make ground against American troops near Chateau Thierry and could not advance rapidly further east.
