WHAT WAR MEANS.

Worse Than Sherman Said It Was and Still Roosevelt and Hughes Want It. The French ministry of war reports the grand totals for the first ten months of the war as follows, as far as reports have been received: Killed Wounded France 460,000 660,000 England “... 181,000 200,000 Belgium 49,000 49,000 Russia ...1,250,000 1,680,000 Germany ...1,630,000 1,880,000 Austria 1,610,000 1,865,000 Turkey 110,000 144,000 5,290,000 6,478,000 What can any or all these countries win in the war that is worth the price of the lives of these fathers and sons ? Wilson hat? kept us out of war by an honorable diplomacy, gained every concession he has asked ahd Hughes and Roosevelt, who seek to run the government, are denouncing him for not taking a course that would have meant war and lost us hundreds of thousands of our fathers and sons. The financial debt which these countries owe as the result of the war is far more than all the real money in the world.
