The frightfulness of the European

figures of these leases are put at, ---un-

The above figures .do not include
the Italians, the Belgians nor the Ser-

the dead and incapacitated more than
300,000. Russian casualties and dead
are believed to be underestimated.
Crazy 'With War Passion. •,
More than 40;000,000 men have been
summoned to war in Europe, and of
these, 15,000,000 have been killed or
wounded, more than half of whom are
either dead or incapacitated.
The terrible earnestness of this
struggle may be judged by the fact
that all accounts agree that the spirit
of both the French and English is to-
day' more for war than over before.
It is said that if any man in London.
seriously proposed peace lie would be
hung to the nearest lamppost. The
_Frencb. are crazy with war passion,
and demand not only succeed for their
side, but revenge across the line. The
fighting is at closer range than ever
before. Rifles are of less importance;
hand grenades end knives are the
dire range weapons, and few. prisone
ers are now token.
We have .report ,froni an English
Observer at Verdun as follows:
-"I could clearly see through - my
field, glasses the Germans maiiving for-
ward in mass formation. Suddenly
the French vino opened and mangled
humanity was 'piled in windrows. •
"I thought, the batble ended, but in
a short time another line in solid
formation was 'sent steadily forward,
and as they started to page over the
heaps of their deed and dy-
ing comrades the French cannon
again blazed, and the pile of dead and
wounded looked a solid wall. I had
never dreamed of such slaughter,,,hut
the sight that followed -I think 'no,
man ever before saw. High .explosive
shell's began blowing into pieces the
masses of dead and dying. ,
e Walla, of Dead and Dying.
"It eeemd fiendish; I\ wondered that
the French Were so insatiated; when,•
horror of horrors, I discovered that
the' high . explosive Shells were from
the Getman guns, bleating .the Walls
of dead and dying that another line
of Germantroops might pass through
and execute the. German order 'For-
ward!'" •
There have been runlets of peace,
but they all 'arise either in. Germany
or America. We have advices from
many points ' indicating' that the
'French line is invincible, but is will-
ing to trade ground for German dead
ab the retie it his been traded around
Verdun. •

The boat, with three white Men iii -
eluding the bishop, and a crew of 'five
negroee, had tied up on the edge of a
deep forest in a quiet bend of the river.
A stout plank was laid •aa gangway .
from the bow to the bank, and the
crew worked until nightfall cutting
and pilling firewood for the boat's
furnace; then. they came on deck for
their evening meal. The three white
Men were already at dinner, when a
fearful yell from the natives 'brought •
them out of the cabin to see a large •
elephant viciously attacking the wood- -
pile. The blacks sheeted and threvt
missiles,. and two of the more venture-.
some even went ashore with firebrands
snatched out of the cookstove to drive
the monster away. But he paid no
