Disease, chiefly influenza, which seems to follow every great war, caused the death of some 20,000,000 men and women, making a grand total of 35,000,000 dead. Ten million adults became refugees. It is estimated that there are 15,000,000 s of whom are Chirefugees today, nese.- In addition to this tremendous loss, millions of women were prevented from marrying, owing to a shortage of men, and the birthrate has fallen. The economic effects of the World War have never been accurately gauged, but losses soared into the billions of dollars. Government debts everywhere mounted and in many cases were defaulted, thus destroying the credit of nations.

For some time the National Capital has been awaiting word of this kind, and were it not for the reference to Jim Farley's candidacy, many here would believe the article was 'inspired from authoritative quarters; especially since it was published on the seventh anniverSary of Mr. Roosevelt's inauguration. The article first states that Mr. Roosevelt believes Cordell Hull should be nominated for the presidency. It then mentions Attorney General Jackson, Paul McNutt and Senator Wheeler as possible vice presidential candidates. Then Mr. Lindley quotes the president as saying:: : "You know what a lot of people down your way would thinIC and say If we nominated. Jim for vice presLindley - anti-Farle- ident- - f with Cordell Hull). .1 know, toe, because I've lived among them. They'd say we were using Cm-deHull as a stalking horse for the pope."
