Billy 'Single* Clifford Coming. The question a Hues, why is the suc cess of Billy 8. Clifford in the clever musical satire "Believe Me." Several good reasons might be given, in fact myriad numbers of thorn, hut the con sideration of a few of the most essen tial will do here. First? Care baa been exercised to get a bill that will make an impressiou upon the i>eople before whom It is presented. There is noth ing at all lit the bill of "Believe Me" lacking to make it complete in every detail. The story is pretty, carefully worked out,' the climaxes are right to the ppint and cleverly1 worked up to. The comedy well defined and pure, the song numl>ers are up to the minute. Second? ^ Choice of a lead was careful ly considered and no better one could be secured than Billy H. Clifford, who .handles the title role. Clever to the extreme as a comedian. Third? In selecting a supporting company to a most capable lead only the very bgat talent itossible was to lie secured and one only needs to see the show to real ize that such is the case. Each mem ber back of Mr. Clifford has been espe cially selected for same on peculiar qualification necessary, when combined with the balance of the company, to make one complete whole strong in the presentation of the production. Here are three good reasons why this com pany is having-fucli unprecedented suc cess in their latest creation. They will be seen at the Camden Opera House on Wednesday, Oct. 21. As an added attraction Mr. Clifford in carrying a ladles band and orchestra this season. They will play a concert on the streets at 2 p. m. The ladies of Camden are especially invited toll ear them. ? adv. War's Awful Death Cost. ? ^Conservative estimates place' the losses of the allies for the first five weeks of the war at 100,000, and those of the Germans for the same period at 200,000, declares Leslie's Weekly. Ac^ cording to the best Information Ger many has more than 2,000,000 men on her various battle lines, so that in five weeks she has lost say 10 per cent of her engaged forces. The total number is. appalling, yet by comparison the losses on either side have not been hea vy. In our own battle of Gettysburg there were 82,000 Federals and 73,000 Confederates ? engaged and the total losses were Federals 24,000 or 29 per cent, and Confederates 20,450, or 28 per cent. At the battle of Sadowa, in 1806, the defeated Austrians lost 44, 400 out Of 210,000 engaged, or 21 per cent. At Waterloo, In 1815, the defeat ed French lost 24 per cent of the 124, 000 men engaged, and the victorious allies 10 per cent of their 214,000. In their case however, little of the fight? tag was done by the Prussians, the brunt of the losses being borne by the British rfnd Belgians. At Zorndorf, in 1758, the Prussians had 87,000 men and Jo*t-ll7Q00T or 30 par eont, whil<^ the Husstans with 60,000 wen, lost 24,000, per ? The loss of 200,000 men* to the Kai ser is not serious from a military stand point. The war footing qt the German army is 4,200,000. Therefore, the loss es are under 5 per cent, and thanks to small oallbre rifles and aseptic sur gery, ,half of the wounded wll be back witlv their commands in a couple of months. In the meantime a word from the Emperor will replace them imme dlately with recruits from the large number of men fit for military duty, but not included in the regular army and reserves. German partisans say that if forced to do ^o, <4ermany can ' raise, arm and equip 7,000,000 men. ? 1 i Charles Long, aged 15, son of Daniel Long, was struck and instantly killed at Rock Hill Saturday by an automo bile driven by Peter J.
