WAR CASUALTIES OF ALL
THE NATIONS ENGAGED
It is rather hard to conceive the immensity of the great
war that wrought such cataclysmic changes in the map of the
world. When one considers what a small thing started such a
conflagration it is still harder to conceive that men should en
gage in tearing the world to pieces for such a cause, but after
all when the cause of the defenders of liberty is taken into
consideration it is not so astonishing. Germany found a weak
excuse to begin the war and the allied nations undertook, to
defend the inalienable rights of man to the last ditch and won.
The actual figures showing the. number of men engaged in
the war and the losses are startling in their vastness. All the
wars of previous history sink into insignificance compared
with this one in -'very way. Statistics show that over 58,000,-
000 men of all nations were under arms from the beginning of
the war to the end. The total of killed, wounded and captured
was over 24,000,000, while the total deaths from all causes
reached 10^000,000.^ .. .
The greatest sufferer, was Russia, which had 14,000,000
men in battle during the war and of the total losses of 5,000,-
000, about 3,500,000 were killed or died. Germany had 11,000,-
000 men engaged, with total losses of 4,000,000, of which
1,580,000 were deaths. England had 7,500,000 men in battle
or under arms and of the total losses of 3,000,000 over 650,0Q0
were deaths. France had 6,000,000 men under arms, with
losses of 4,000,000 and deaths amounting to 1,100,000. Austria-
Hungary had 7,500,000 men in the armies and lost 4,500,000,
of which 2,000,000 were deaths. Italy had 5,000,000 men un-_
der arms, with losses Of 2,000,000 and total deaths of 500,000.
Turkey, Bulgaria, Rumania and Serbia had over 3,000,000 in
war frith total losses of 1,500,000. __
Belgium, of all the nations, was hit the hardest and the
United States suffered the least. Belgium had 350,000 men
under arms, with total losses of 300,000 and 50,000 deaths.
The United States had 3,764,000 men under arms and the total
casualties were about 240,000, of which 53,000 were killed or
died The total Americans engaged in battle were about 1, •*
000,the remainder of the 1,900,000 that were in Fmncetong
engaged in work connected with transportation. About 1,750,-

The leading scientists we convinced no Jon* g P

™The Miowh^^tmta from the American Machinist show
how human beliefs are changed by daring men:
*•1* recall how Prof. Simon Newcomb in 1902 proved be
yond question’ that it would be ‘impossible’ for a heavier-
than-air machine to rise from the ground.
"After the Wright brother made their first flight on
December 17,1903, and foi* five years after, people all over
the woBd disbelieved that an airplane could actually fly.
. Some admitted that it could rise, like a skipping-stone,
but would be unable to turn in the air. The reports of the
Wrights’ circular flights before 1908,were, not believed
and the circle of Henri Farman in France ta 1907 was held
as being a stunt. Thenjn 1908, Wilbur Wright proved be
yond doubt in his flights in-Franc*-that circling was pari
, of flying. He took the word ‘impossible’ out 6f the aerial
dictionary.
“Only six years ’ ago, when the Aero Club of America
offered to order several airplanes to compete for the In
ternational Aviation Trophy and required that-the air
plane make a speed of one hundred miles an hour, it was
criticized very generally by people who held that airplanes
could only be used for scouting, and'that for that purpose
a speed of from fifty to sixty miles an hour was best.
They held that beyond that speed the observer could not
get a good view of what was going on below him. When
the Aero Club of America authorities answered that speed
would be one ol’ the'principal factors in military airplanes,
because they would be employed in fighting and for
bomb-dropping, the so-called authorities then asked, What
will you light with—your ffrts?’ The Aero dub authori
ties "stated that machine guns and bombs jvould be used,,
and the technical obstructionists presented mathematical
compilations to show that the recoil of a gun and the drop
ping of a bomb weighing more than fifty pounds would
upset the airpianc. We know now that it does not, but
many people bcliev&Tthem.”

STRANGE ANIMAL
PROWLS AND SCARES
ATLANTA -PEOPLE.
(Special Correspondence.)
Atlanta* Ga., December 13.—A
strange and terrible,animal roaming
at large in the woods near Grant
Park in this city .was first believed
to be a tiger or a leopard escaped
irom the zoo, bqfc examination of the
cages disclosed the fact that all of
the animals answered present to
their names.-
Then it was thought the animal
might be an escaped inmate of a
menagerie in winter quarters at
Lakewood Park, but the circus keep*
ers could find no occupant missing
from any of their cages. Hence the
police are on a new "track, this time
without a clue to guide them.
Persons who have seen the ar.imai
say it is three feet high at least. It
travels in a lope with a long, spring
ing stride, like a cat or a tiger leap*
ing on its nimble velvet pads. Sev
eral dogs in the Grant Park neigh
borhood have had their throats cut
when they chased tjie strange night
visitor. Mothers are very much
alarmed for the safty of their chil
dren.

Tight shoes and dancing even when

You don’t have to fool with the corns

Public Must Be Careful To Avoid
A Second Epidemic. Easier
To Prevent Than Cure.
What To Do.
’ "Encouraging report* of the fewer
case* of Influenza in thi* vicinity
ihould not allow us to relax our vig
ilance or to become careleu in the
belief that the danger i* all over,’
says a well knoyrn authority. '-With
the coming of cold weather there is
apt to be a return of this frightful
epidemic and its seriousness-will'de
pend on the extent of the precau-
(ions, taken by the public, to prevent
infection.
When the air is full of influenza
germs, you may be constantly breath
ing them into your nose and throat.
But their danger may be avoided and
rou may make yourself practically
immune to infection if you destroy
the germ before it actually begins
work in your blood.
During the recent eerious epidemic,
which hit Athens so hard, most suc
cessful results were obtained by
many through the simple breathing
into the nose, throat and lungs of the
medicated air of oil of Hyomei. Prob
ably no better, safer or more sensi
ble precaution against Influenza,
Grippe. Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis or
Catarrh of the nose and throat could
be eirploved than to go now to the
nearest drug store* and get a com-
ilcte Hvomei outfit consisting of. a
bottle of the pure Oilof Hyomei and
a little vestpocket hard rubber in
haling device Into which a few
-iron* of the oil are poured.
Carry this Inhaler with you dur
ing the dsv and each half hour or ;o
nut it in vour mouth and draw deep
breaths of its oure healing germici
dal ni- into the passages of yonr
nose, throat and lungs to destroy anv
-erma that mav have found lodgment
'here. This simple orccaution may
<ave you a serious illness and the
