"To resurrect these regions, to reconstruct these factories, raw materials alone are not sufficient we need means of transportation. Now the enemy has destroyed our railroad tracks and railroad track equipment. Our rolling stock, which In the first month of the war. In 1914, was reduced by 50,000 cars, has undergone the wear and tear of 50 months of war. Our merchant fleet, on the other hand, has lost more than a million tons through the submarine warfare.

In a general way these 'figures mean something to us, but an Illustration may help visualise those allied dead. Not more than 100,000 persons have marched In the greatest parade that Fifth avenue has ever known. Our preparedness parade, and possibly the Third Liberty loan parade, totaled thut number of marchers. All day long they marched, and until after sundown. We thrilled at the sight of these living Americans. Let us visualize the inarch of the British dead. At daybreak they start down Fifth avenue, 20 abreast. Their fallen comrades follow a few paces The enemy dead, although definite figures aro not available, number about 4,800,000. For them to pass In review would require more than six weeks. Throughout all the daylight hours of June, July, August and September, then, the ghastly procession would continue. It Is an appalling picture to contemplate. As preliminary punishment for the fugitive , kaiser, for whom so many horrible fates have been suggested, there may be torture available here. For him to stand at attention throughout four hot summer months, while the ghosts of those he sent to death pass In constant review surely, that might Inflict mental agony enough to appease the most vindictive. Historians will finally agree that $221,000,000,-00- 0 or some such figure was spent by the nations Involved. They will eventually place the toll of dead at llj000,000 or thereabout.

As regards personal property of every description, either destroyed by battle or stolen by the Germans, there stands an additional loss .of at least 4,000,000,000 francs. This valuatlou of lost personal property does not Include as definite figures are lacking as yet the countless war contributions and fines by the enemy, amounting also to billions. I need hardly say that. In those wealthy lands, no agricultural resources are left. The losses iu horses and In cattle, bovine and bovine species, hogs, goats amount to 1,510,000 head in agricultural equipment to 454,000 machines or carts the two Items worth together 6,000,000,000 francs. Now as regards Industries, the disaster Is eveu more complete. These districts occupied by the Germans and whose machinery has been methodically destroyed or taken away by the enemy, were, Industrially speaking, the very heart of France. They were the very backbone of our production, as shown In the following startling figures: In 1913 the wool output of our Invaded regions amounted to &t per cent of the total French production. And corresponding figures were: For flax from the spinning mills, 90 per cent ; Iron ora, 90 per ceut; pig iron, 83 per cent; steel, 70 per cent ; sugar, 70 per cent ; cotton, 60 per cent ; coal, 55 per cent; electric power, 45 per cent. Of all Is left. Everything has been carried away or destroyed by the enemy. So complete Is the destruction that. In the case of our great coal mines In the north, two years of work will be needed before a single ton of coal can be extracted, and ten years before the output ts bark to the figures of 1913. "All that must be rebuilt, and to carry out that kind of reconstruction only there will be a need of over 2,000.000 tons of pig Iron, nearly 4,005,000 tons of steel not to mention the replenishing of stocks and of raw materials which must of necessity be supplied to the plants during the first year of resumed activity. If we take Into account tharrptanrs.-TnachtTjery;-Tntnes.-not- hlng epidemic. When we consider the number of Americans who died in our Civil war, our present losses seem almost trivial. The deaths from all causes In the Civil war totaled 618,528 about 15 times as many lives as the world war cost tho United Rtates.
