TURK-BALKAN WAR LOSS OVER 200,000 Statisticians in Casting Up Ac. counts Estimate This Num ber Have Perished. London, Feb, 22.—With what Is be lieved to be the heaviest fighting of the Balkan war already recorded, Kuropean statisticians have been busily engaged In trying to figure the loss of life and money entailed by the campaign up to the present day; During the International conference between the envoys of the rival fight ing forces here, however, enough facts were gleaned to warrant the assertion that the present conflict has been one of the mast bloody and costly In the hlstery of modern warfare. Conservative estimates have placed the number of dead In the larger bat tles of the early campaign as follows: Turks. Allies. Kirk Klllsseh and Adrlaneple .26,000 7,000 Lule Burgas.40,000 26,000 At Kumanova . 7,000 6,000 Around Scutari. 8,000 6,000 Total .78,000 43.UUU These figures, however, are regarded as conservative and only- cover the im portant battles of the campaign before the truce was called. In addition to them it is estimated that 60,000 Turk ish soldiers perished as a result of minor engagements and cholera, which ravaged the Ottoman ranks on the re treat to Constantinople. Thirty thou sand men are also said to have been lost by the allies through the same causes. ThlH brings the estimated Turkish loss up to 126,000 men and the estimated loss to the fighting forces of the allies up to 78,000, a total loss of 199,000 men, which may be said to in clude the thousands who fell victims to wounds, sickness, sudden death on the field or were listed as missing. These figures, of course, like all oth ers that have been compiled, are based only on conjecture and are believed by many experts to be too conservative. The actual losses of the campaign will not be known probably for year* after peace has been restored. Money Lots Hard to Figure. The monetary loss is incalculable. Aside from the vast amount of money required to carry on the actual opera tions in the field, there is the destruc tion of property, the Injury to com merce and personal liabilities to figure. Hundreds of towns and villages have been devastated during the struggle. Great cities have been damaged by fire and pestilence. Private property has been ravaged and the resources of the governments involved have been almost exhausted. It Is significant that the Indemnity asked by the Balkan envoys at the recent conference with the Turks ran into the hundred millions. A guess as to the probably cost of the conflict would make a total amount run far into billions of dollars of American money. Another side of the conflict has been the suffering entailed by the peasants of both the allies and the Turks, the depredations against women of both nations and the butchery of non-com batants, news of which filtered into the press with the return of correspond ents from the front. If these reports are true, the Balkan trouble has been marked wdth savagery and rapine more atrocious than that which usually fol lows in the wake of war. Allies Suffer Losses. A Oettlnje dispatch to the Times says that the allies suffered seriously in the three days’ fighting which ended in the capture of Bardanjolt. The Montene grins lost 1,000 killed and wounded on the Tarabosch side and nearly 4,000 at Bardanjolt. The Servians lost 800 at Berdlca. Scutari has proved itself able to withstand the attack of 50.000 troops. The Servians were handicapped by a lack of heavy artillery. It Is believed that the attack will be renewed before the end of the week. JUDGE GOFF CHOSEN WOGWtt’S SENATOR Compromise Reached By Re publicans — Legislators Name Party’s Choice. Charleston, W.
