WIllS DEAD MINERS INDICTED
BY WAR COVER FORBISBEEI.W.W.
4 SQUARE MILES DEPORTATIONS
If Laid Side By Side, Slain In Con

Western States Require Grave
160 Feet Wide 61 Mile's
! (By John E. T.athrop.)
WASI11XGTOX, May 15. The 7,
400,000 war dcnd, if placed side by
side would cover four square miles,
or 2,500 acres, allowing the war de
partment's spaco for each body.
When one goes into the magnitude
of the lossc, and makes comparisons,
the horror of it grows. It is unpleas
ant; but perhaps occnsibnelly a sum
ming up, an interpretation, of results
caused by the conflict nuiy not be
. Valueless.
ThejVitimntcs that the German
dead alone number 3,700,000 that is,
the dead of the enemy central powers.
The allies have losr approximately the
same.
Kqiuils Whole Slates' Populations.
Were equal toll of human life tak
en, beginning on the shores of the Pa
cific, the entire population of Oregon,
Washington and California would be
wiped out. Then Idaho would be de
populated, and Montana and Wyo
ming. Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico also would be unpeopled
wastes only Nevada of the far
west would remain and since the
death war toll was estimated,
enough have been adde to eliminate
Nevada's equivalent, and carry on
the work of destruction eastward
several states more.
Likewise, were the destruction tj
begin at the head of tile lakes, there
would remain none to live in Minne
sota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, South
Dakota and North Dakota.
Gl Stilus of Slain.
Buried side by side, their grave
would be 1G0 feet wide and til miles
long; or in a vast mausoleum, tier
of tier, in vaults, they would oc
cupy a structure a mile long, 100
feed wide, and of 01 stories.
These of German dead alone or
allied dead alone. Both would
double the hypothetical structure, of
course or the mausoleum would be
a mile long, 100 feet wide and of
122 stories.
They would fill a tomb from here
to Baltimore, nnd then on to An
napolis, Md.
On a IfH'tlanil Street.
The bodies would fill Washington
street, Portland, to the top of the
Inchest building, from the corner of
Third .to the botton of the bill just
beneath St. Vincent's hospital. The
German dead would do that. Those
of both sides! From' Third nnd
Washington to Portland Heights or
Council Crest.
Or Market street, in San Francis
co, (from the Ferry House to the
post office, 102 deep.
Or On Superior Stroct.
They would cover Superior street,
Dnluth, from the Spalding hotel to
the old furnace in West Dnluth.
The German socialists agreed
with the military parly it. is under
stood that Ihey would not balk un
til 1,500,000 luid been sacrificed in
the present offensive of llindcnburg,
begun March 21.
The German losses promise to use
all the socialists were willing tn
throw into the hopper of the war
mill. If so, the dead would cover
nearly a square mile.
Tho Maimed.
How many have been maimed anil
lived? The number is appalling.
But what use to continue? Thirty
millions are under arms. Millions
arc dead. More millions have suf
fered wounding, other millions been
subjected to unnecessary hardhij
und privation.
Hundreds of ships lie on the bot
tom of the oceans. Millions of
property is in their holds. The sen
is strewn with mines. Tho peace
pathways of maritime man are dot
ted with dangerous devices. All of
man's usual efforts are subordinat
ed nnd for the allies properly, too
to winning the war.
This Is tlio Score,
So this is tho score against the
militarist of Prussia, the Kaiser, the
Junkers, those who were w illing I hit t.
t ie militarists utilize the 40 years
of preparation to conquer a world
commercial market for the dealers
of the central xwers.
What sacrifice unfitting to give
insurance that such never again
shall be! To make "the world sale
for democracy!" And to give the
world true democracy, instead of
an autocracy that used biminn blood
with which to buy or seek to buy
domination over the earth's activ
ities! ...

Coupled with the fall of Sehaatanol

in central Russia is generally feared
and tlio removal of tlio capital to
Yekaterinburg, In tho Ural moun

Germany's overthrow of the
Ukraino government, with which It
had mado peace, Is regarded by north

ENGLISH CHANNEL COAST
IS TEUTONIC OBJECTIVE
COPENHAGEN', May 15 The
Germans are still of the belief that
4hoy will bo able to reach tho English
channol coast, bar navigation of the
waters and bombard southern Eng
land, and that then It will bo easy to
.beRlii peace negotiations, according
to an interview tho Polltikon has had
with a promlnont German politician,
a member of the reichstag, who re
quested that liis name be not used.
Ho added that the German offensive
thus far had proved a failure, owing
to heavy losses and that the German
high command was waiting to obtain
more artillery.
Germany had lost In killed and
wounded and made prisoner three
million men, ho added. Answering
questions about the opinion of the
rolchstug main commlttoe on the sit
uation on the west front and the end
of tho war, tho nowspaper's infor
mant Bald:
"Wo Btlll bollevo, according to
messages from our military loaders,
that wo shall roach tho north coast,
whore our guns can bar navigation of
the channel, and fire nt south Eng
land. It is suggested from tho Gor
man sido that this course of war will
commence, and as far as Gormnny is
concerned, it will be very easy to
start armistice negotiations, as, do-
splto at assertions, we don't aim at
any conquering. We want nelthor
tho mine districts at Lorraine's west
frontlor, nor Antwerp.
"Wo havo lost, including killed,
wounded and prisoners, throo million
of men. Do you think that we Intend
to make foolish claims and send our
children thru another four years of
war? Moroover, wo ahall havo en
ough to do during tho ago of man to

politicians only demand that tho wes
