OXK YEAK OF WAIi. - V ??? Twelve Months of Fighting Has Cost .Millions of Men. A few days over a year ago, the Austrian archduke, Francis Ferdinand, and his wife were shot and killed in the little Bosnian town of Serajevo by Garvio Prinzip. It was the act of Prinzip. a poor student, which ultimately resulted in ten nations going to war. These nations """" hand Great Britain. OX C, VU VAiV wv.?v. France, Russia, Serbia, Japan, Belgium, Italy and Montenegro, and, on the other, Germany, Austria and Turkey. The war to date, according to conservative estimates compiled x from the best available reports, has caused a loss to the various belligerents of more than six million men. V * dead, wounded and prisoners, and more than 500 ships. Of these about 120 were war vessels. The outstanding results on land are these: The greater portion of Belgium is 'under the control of Germany. Germany has been driven from the .. , ' Far East. A part of the Dardanelles is in the possession of the allied troops. Portions of France and Russia are in the possession of German troops. A strip of Alsace has been taken from Germany. On the continent of Africa parts of territorial possessions have been lost by both sides. ; . Various island possessions of Germany have been taken by the forces ^ of the allies. Italian troops are in possession of a strip of Austrian territory. The outstanding results at sea are j these: German and Austrian mercantile shipping has been driven from all the KfeTi open seas. War vessels of the allied nations having a total displacement of approximately 192,000 tons have been sent to the bottom. The greater portion of the German and allied fleets in the North sea reJ main intact. pf-" Except for communication through Holland and the Scandinavian nations, Germany is cut off from the rest of the world. Efforts on the part of the Germans to place the British Isles in a similar ' oredicament has resulted in the 6ink ing by submarines of hundreds of vessels flying the flags of the allied and neutral nations. I*. The sinking in this manner of the Cunard liner Lusitania with the loss i of more than one hundred American *,/ lives, precipitated a request that such & practices in so far as they might men. ace Americans, be stopped. Prinzip's crime was committed o"h June 28. An investigation disclosed what was alleged to be proof that the j?r-- v assassin was the tool of a group of Serbians. On July 23, after considerable correspondence and negotiations >\ an ultimatum was sent to Serbia by the Austro-Hungarlan government, which Serbia declined to meet. A week later a general mobilization of Russian troops along the German ? border was ordered, and the following day Germany declared war on Russia. The news of that event was followed in a few hours by the announcement that a general mobilization had been ordered by the French cabinet. On August 2 German troops entered Luxemburg and Germany demanded free passage through Belgium to the French frontier. This was refused, and two days later Great Britain dispatched to Germany an ultimatum ' demanding that the neutrality of Belgium be maintained. The ultimatum ; rejected. German forces attacked , Liege. On the same day President Wilson issued a proclamation of neul&lT trail ty. The following day saw the declaration by Great Britain of a state of war with Germany, and two days later the Germans entered Liege, as the French invaded southern Alsace. These events were quickly followed by an affirmation on the part of Italy of her neutrality, by an Austrian invasion of Serbia, and by the sending by Japan of an ultimatum to Germany. This had to do with the ( German possession of Kiao-Chow of 1 which Tsingtau was the port. i By August 17 the first British expe- < ditionary force had completed its i landing in France and on that day < there began also a fierce battle on i the Jadar between the Austrian and Serbian troops. Victory was with i the Serbian arms after five days of ^ eAnf. ugnixng ituu me .ius?jcwia ?cic iv/m.ed. In the meantime the battle of Lorraine had opened and the German troops had entered Brussels, the Belgian capital. A few days later, August 23, the ' victorious Germans entered Namur and began an attack on Mons. defended principally by the first British expeditionary forces. The next day the British troops began a retreat from their position and from then on until September 12 the German troops drove through France under the leadership of General von Kluck. Zeppelins bombarded Antwerp; the French i t were forced to evacuate Mulhausen: the Germans took and swept over Longwy and reached Senlis. thirty miles from Paris, where the columns swung to the eastward. The French government tied to Bordeaux. In the meanwhile German and Aus- ; trian troops had met the Russians. A victory at Krasnik was announced by the Austrian government on August 23, while on August 2P the German army under General von Hinden burst defeated another Russian force in a battle at Tanneburg. which j lasted for three days. Louvain wasj burned by the Germans on the same day that the Japanese blockade of Tsingtau was begun. The blockade was maintained more than two months before Tsingtau surrendered. Two days after the French government moved to Bordeaux the battle of the Marne was begun, a few hours)1 before Russian troops succeeded in ' occupying Lemberg, the capital of Galicia. 1 Owing to the activities of the allies' troops, the Germans in France 1 were forced to retreat as far as the Aisne. Events of the next few days 1 included the bombardment of Rheims by the Germans, and the sinking by 1 a German submarine of the British 1 cruisers, Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue. ' On the same day the Russian troops ! attacked Przemysl and took Jaroslav. ' British troops from India were landed from transports at Marseilles 1 on September 26 and were immediate- * ly dispatched to the northward. Be- ' fore their arrival at their destination the Germans inaugurated a siege of Antwerp, which resulted in the Belgian p-ov^rnmpnf mrtvinsr from that city to Ostend. Two days later the 1 bombardment of Antwerp began. The ' Belgian government remained at Os- l tend for about a week and then re- ' moved to Harve, France. Forty- ! eight hours later the Germans cap- 1 tured Ostend. Meanwhile the allied < troops occupied Ypres. and a des- ' perate battle had begun on the Vis- '< tula river. German assaults upon ' the allied lines between Ypres and' Nieuport continued'for a week and * then weakened. The Germans operating in Russia < meantime had been defeated after a ten days' battle before Warsaw. i In Africa revolt and mutiny broke < out. These disorders were headed by the Boer leaders, General de Wet, 1 General Beyers. Colonel Maritz and ' others. 1 Colonel Maritz was driven from i Cape Colony, General Beyers was kill- i ed at Vaal river, and General de Wet 1 was captured after he had been in the field for more than a month. Na- | tive troops in the African provinces i belonging to Germany, Great Britain { and France were lined up on the bor- j ders of their respective provinces. ( Fighting was general. t During the latter part of October e the British dreadnought Audacious ? was 6unk off the Irish coast; the Rus- t sians successfully attacked Lodz and ( Ramans. Turkey joined the war at i that juncture by naval operations in j the Black sea. Odessa was attacked. November opened with a German i naval victory over a British squadron z off the coast of Chile and the Turkish i warships bombarded Sebastapol. Two \ days later German warships ventured from their anchorage behind the c naval base at Heligoland and bom- \ barded the British coast. France c declared war on Turkey and the forts e guarding the entrance to the Dar- i danelles was bombarded by a fleet of c allied English and French warships, j On the north the Russians reoccupied a by Jaroslav after several days of fe- t rocious fighting. , a German cruisers which had been c stationed in foreign waters at the i opening of the war had by that time i given a good account of themselves, i The Emden bperating in the Indian a ocean and adjacent waters overtook a and sank more than a score of mer- c cantile ships belonging to the nations E allied against Germany before she a was finally run down and destroyed j] off Cocos Island. In the Atlantic the 0 Karlsruhe and a number of auxiliary t narfArmoH cimilnr duties. J II UIOUS pgiLViUivu u They too sent to the bottom more q than a score of ships. t On land the armies of the belliger- a ents settled down to hold their posi- i tions for the winter months. Activities from November 11, when the p German forces captured Dixmude, re- t suited in Russian defeats at Vlot- t slavek. Ix>pno and Kutno. The bat- <] tie in Flanders progressed at inter- s vals, vigorous actions taking place r and thousands of men on both, sides a being killed or wounded. Intrench- ( ed for the winter, the armies con- j tented themselves principally with t hnldine the positions they had gain c ed. In the Serbian-Austrian cam- i paign there was considerable activity during the early winter months, t The Austrian? occupied Belgrade. the \ Serbian capital, on "December 2. and f; retained it until December 1"., when, t after the Serbians had captured large! t force? of Austrian?, they were driven back into their own territory. j In East Prussia during the winter E there was severe fighting, resulting a in the loss of many men, dead, v wounded and captured.

If one advertises in Ohio to sell all wool trouseis for $2.95 a pair, it behooves him to l?e sure they are all i wool. Otherwise the State is likely to prosecute. And the action will be' ' constitutional, declares a Cincinnati' court. The honest advertising act wasj passed by the legislature in 1913. It \ declares that one who tries to sell; goods through an advertisement j which "contains any assertion. rep-| resentation or statement of fact! which is untrue or deceptive, shall; be guilty of a misdemeanor." A' 1 merchant of Cincinnati, it seems. 1 doubted the efficacy of the law. and.j on being accused of the practice eon-j demned. assailed its constitutionality. J His trousers, it was declared, were, not all wool. i So the merchant will have to stand 1 trial for deceptive advertising. The,1' trousers will be brought into court i an'd their texture analyzed. It is well to have fixed in mind thej fact that dishonest advertising in! Ohio is proscribed. The statute put; ; upon the books two years ago was;1 sound law. designed to protect the j buying public from the arts of those, who might wish to defraud, and any-! : one who attempts to evade its clear j erms does so at his own risk.?Cleveland Plain-Dealer. i His Salary.

German cruisers bombard-; ' id Hartlepool and Scarborough, and i 5 ;he German armored cruiser Bluech- 1 jr was sunk in the Xorth sea by a 1 >ection of the British fleet operating J here. German submarines became especially active during the winter ( noctths, sinking many warships and ( nerchantmen. March opened with an announce- 8 nent of British reprisal measures j igainst the Germans for the submarine warfare and the development of jattle in France. British troops in France again besame active, taking a notable ad ance at Neuve Chapelle. By the end .f ATaiv?>i thp Russian trooDS had Den- 1 >trated the Dukla pass and entered * iungary. April saw the beginning ?f violent assaults upon the German ines by the French east of Verdun s ;nd the Meuse. The French stormed * he German position at Les Eparges C ind about the same time it was offi- e ially announced that the total of iritish casualties to that date were 39,347. By the middle of April the tussians had penetrated Hungary to . point twenty miles over the border, I .nd the Germans had begun a sue- c essful assault upon the allied lines s lear Ypres. For several weeks the a rmies struggled back and forth los- ^ ag thousands of men, gaining ground ?ne day and being forced to evacuate c heir positions the next.

A month ago the Observer received a personal letter from an Englishman to the effect that as he wanted this paper to get a correct view of events transpiring in Europe, he had ordered the London Sunday Observer sent us. The paper has been coming with the regularity of normal times Ir is filled with war news. as a matter of course, but all the departments usual with a metropolitan paper are maintained, there being columns of book reviews, theatrical notices, court and society affairs, miscellaneous reading matter and advertisements of all kinds. There is a two-column display advertisement featuring Lord Kitchener's call for 300,000 recruits to form new armies, to which, the paper says in large i type, "there is only one reply?that our king and country expect from ! every man who is between 19 and 40 I years of age and physically fit?that is to go to the nearest recruiting office and join the army." Under the "Roll of Honor," is printed column ! after column of colonial losses; in- I eluding officers and privates killed or 1 wounded in all branches of the ser- I vice. Under a subhead is given names of those killed or suffering I from poisoned gas. They speak of Zeppelin raids as things to be expect- I ed and guarded against. But it ap- ' pears that there is but one way in which the population of London can 1 minimize the effects of the Zeppelin i bombs and that is in the extinguish- < ing of the fires started by the explosives. One of the warning notices carries this paragraph: "As everyone knows, it is not the mere dropping of a bomb that is so much to be feared as the serious after-danger from fire, owing to the fact that these bombs are charged with thermit, a terrible compound, which upon ignition immediately generates the enormous heat of 5,000 decrees Fahrenheit, "which can best be realized when it is stated at this heat east steel runs like melted tallow." Only the day before this paper had been printed there had been discovered a new chemical called "antizep," which was advertised as a compound that would immediately overcome the effects of the thermit bombs and extinguish the fires. The antizep is put i up in hand grenades and the Londoners are advised to keep a grenade in every room in every house in London, rhe cost of a grenade is 5s, 3d, and | this is regarded "as so trifling that it would be foolish, indeed, for any tiome to be without one or more." Much space is given to fashion and shopping news, and the New York ' narket reports take up considerable j oom, "Bethlehem Steel," being conspicuously quoted. The editorial page s ponderously heavy. There is one iditorial which would make four ;olumns in the Observer, evidently )ne that is strong and to the point, is it declares the "next need is action, lot delay." There is a review of President Wilson's last note to Gernany. The conclusions of the editor ire interesting. He judges from Wilson's note that "nothing is further rom his mind than to let the subject >e 'talked out* in an evasive and disngenuous correspondence," and, also, that "his interrogatories have >een so framed that, even by shuting 'her mouth, Germany cannot ivoid giving them an effectual an- " swer. Placable as it is in form, the lialectic of the two notes is in esence almost mercilessly ineluctable." ( ?Charlotte Observer. I Sartorial Synthesis.
