A.H1 A TEAGIC PICTURE Much has been written of the hor rors of war. But the most terrible and impressive picture of what war really means is given in a few brief statistics published in the June issue of Current History. For many months Rex F. Harlow, with the as sistance of the fifteen active bellig erent nations in the war, has been conducting a careful research into the direct military losses in the World war. It has been completed and even to those who thought they realized the full tragedy and terror of war, it comes with a shock. No conflict since time began ever approached the World war. There were mobilized for actual conflict the enormous total of 64,6S3,S10 soldiers more than half the total popula tion of the United States, nearly double the population of the entire country when the North and South clashed in the Civil war. Of these, 8,461,595 were killed and 21,699. 935 were wounded, making a total casualty of 29,561,53S. Not less striking were the enor mous armies mobilized. Russia led with 12,000.000; other nations were: Germany, 11.000,000; Great Britain, S. 904. 476; France, 8,410.000; Austria-Hungary, 7,S00,000; Italy, 5, 615000; United States, 4.S00.000. The mobilization of the small na tions was fully as great proportion ately to their population. Germany led in number of killed with 1,175, 000 and Russia next with 1,700.000. Russia's wounded were 4,950,000, with Germany 4,216,058. One of the most pitiful features of the war. a feature not generally realized, was the terrible toll paid by little Rou mania. She put 7o0,000 men in the field. Of this number 335,766 were killed, while the wounded were 160,000 the largest proportionate number of dead probably ever known in any war. And Roumanla was in active warfare on a large scale only for a few weeks. No history of the war has given an adequate description of the scenes when the routed Roumanian forces were caught between Mackensen's army and the Bulgarian forces com ing from the east and south, but thev must have been terrible in their slaughter. In commenting on these terrifying estimates, Mr. Barlow says: "The facts and figures that have been set forth show two things: First, that war such as that con ducted in Europe from 1914 to 191 S has kept pace with the development of other human activities, and is con ducted on a scale commensurate with the increased power of the human race; and, second, that in spite of human devices and scientific devel opments, both of which played a dominant part In the recent conflict, it takes men, millions of them, to make war. Just as It always has done There is another thing the figures show, and that is that war Is grow ing to be too expensive for nations to Indulge in it. But when there is added to the enormous cost in wealth the ghastly loss of nearly 30,00.0,000 of the best young manhood of the civilized world, then there can be no doubt as to the senselessness of war. When the people of the world, the financiers and wealth-loving mem bers of society especially, reach the definite conclusion that war is too expensive, then this frightful dls- ease'will be wiped from the face of the earth. Men, millions of them. paid the supreme price of war with their bodies during the world con flict. Avarice and love of power, the evils of envy and greed, were be hind it all. When the curtain is raised and those behind the scenes are exposed, then there will be no more 65,000,000 young men march ing away to death and destruction." There have been many arguments against war. None ever can be is sued more easy to understand, more terrible, more convincing in Its sim plicity than these figurea 40 By the way, old Doc Cook is about the only "expert" on polar conditions who has n6t been resuested to give his opinion as to the fate of the Amundsen expedition.

HAIL DESTROYS CROPS IN SOUTH WESTERN IOWA Storms Sweep Paths Across Mills and Montgomery Counties in Iowa. From Monday's Daily Reports that hail Sunday morning destroyed whole crops of grain on many farms in western Iowa were received here Sunday night. A severe hail, rain and wind storm swept a path a half mile wide thru the western part of Mills county near Glenwood, practically destroyed all small grains in the storm area. It was estimated that the damage to crops in the country would reach a half million tlollars. The fruit crop of the J. W. Carter orchards, four miles northwest of Glenwood, was practically ruined for this year. Other orchards also suf fered heavily. Four inches of rain was reported to have fallen in and near Glenwood in forty-five minutes. Keg creek was running bank-full, and the swollen waters of the stream carried trees and timbers from small bridges washed out above Glenwood. Many cellars in Glenwood were flooded. The well-drilling outfit of the Lane & Boulder Co. was washed some dis tance by the waters rushing down the valley. The vicinity of Elliott, la., north of Red Oak, was hit hard by a severe hail, wind and rain storm which to tally destroyed small grain in a strip from four to five miles wide across Montgomery county. Pilot Grove township, northeast of Red Oak. was hardest hit, grains be ing beaten into the ground, leaves stripped from trees, corncribs and barns being blown over, and many window panes broken out by the hail and wind. Nearly all creeks in Montgomery county were reported out of their banks by the heavy rains, but no particular damage from the swollen waters was reported.

Jeeps Fords quid and well behaved Civ Look for the Polarine $ign FEW cars will stand more or work harder than Fords. But they al ways have had certain peculiar habits. Their brake bands and trans mission bands get glazed and alter nately slip and grab. To develop an oil that properly lubri cates the motor, timing gears and trans mission, has been no simple or easy accomplishment. But Polarine "F" for Fords does all these things. Introduced to Ford owners of Nebraska in 1924, it has stood the test. Thousands of motorists use it regularly and report that it does all that we promised. If you have not tried Polarine "F" you have a pleasing experience ahead. Next time you have your crankcase drained get it filled with Polarine "F" for Fords. It will cost you no more than Polarine Medium, but it will give you a smoother-running, quieter, better lubricated car. Drive up to any Red Crown Service Station where you see the Red Crown sign, and be sure of proper lubrication and balanced gasoline.
