BRYAN'S INFLUENCE. For all their strictures of Mr. Bryan the newspapers must have before this begun to wonder if it is not possible that the influence of Mr. Bryan did not at last prevail in the toning down of the second Lusitania note to Ger many. And who shall say that Mr. Bryan's influence and action has not exercised a soothing effect on the troubled American-German waters. If we are to judge from the tone of the German press comment Mr. Wilson'B latest note bids fair to accomplish much more toward the preservation of peace than might have been ex pected from a less conciliatory docu ment It is true that a portion of the Ger man press still insists that Germany cannot grant the things that the United States asks, and one or two papers take the position that the friendly character of the note has simply delayed the Issue; but even these sound as If they regret that this Is so, which we believe all -peace lovers win agree Is a much more hopeful at titude than that of defiance which greeted the first note. This is a psy chological condition which we think might easily have been foreseen. One whose attention Is wholly concerned with a powerful adversary, is not likely to greatly fear the threats of on? whom he thinks could scarce add much to his discomfiture. The ques tion, "ro you think you're treating me rlpht?" spoken with the propn ac cent, has stopped much brewing trou ble. And the conciliator tone of the note throuch interpretation ha been intensified many fold, we should say, since It reached Germany, by the publication of the statement of Mr. Bryan that he did not sign the note because It was not pre sented to him until after he had re signed; that Is, after he had lost pe rused It as active secretary of state, It j wag materially changed, In the re- i spect, so it is surmised, of giving Ger- many an another opportunity to con trovert, if she could, the official proof that the Lusitania was not armed. State documents of this sort are of course susceptable of about as many Interpretations as there are Interpre ters. The German papers, as most of the American papers, must have been not a little puzzled by the receipt of such a document in the knowledge that Mr. Bryan had resigned to keep from signing it They saw there was an eloment of conciliation in the note yet they could not be sure that It was conciliatory In Intention as well as tons because it was not conciliatory enough for Mr. Bryan to sign. There fore It must be "very firm. Learning of the change in the note following Mr. Bryan's resignation, they can better estimate the degree of con ciliation really Intended. 000, those of France 1,500,000 and thjse of the Turks, South Africans, East Africans and others 100,000. This gives a grand total of T, 600,000. It Is reckoned that about 1,500,000 have been killed, 4,500,000 wounded and the rest given as "missing" are for the most part, prisoners of war. Russian particularly has lost an enormous number of men as prison' era : - . , - This estimate means that for the first ten months of the war the aver age loss has been 750,000 a month. It is easy to see that but little more than two years of such warfare say until the fall of 1916 wlll eliminate all the regular military forces exist ing In the belligerent countries when the war began. After that, if the war continues, they would depend on their "unorganized strength," consisting of all the men of any age able to perform military duty In extreme heed. That would provide enough men to keep the death mill grinding for three years longer. Then, In theory, there wouldn't be a single able-bodied man left In any of the warring countries. Of course, this reckoning takes no account of the large numbers of wounded men who return to the front after convalescence, and of the miss ing men who rejoin their colors or ap pear in later lists and so are counted twice. The growing fierceness of the struggle, however, in the next few months may more than balance what ever discount must be alowed In these particulars. Seven hundred and fifty thousand men a month thus the manhood of Europe is being cut down by bullet, bayonet and shrapnel, every victim suffering keen pain and leaving a train of anguish and sorrow. Seven hundred and fifty thousand families, every month, grieving for lman kill ed, wounded or lost Seven hundred and fifty thousand strong male bodies swept away in fire and blood, and an other 750,000 coming forward to take their places.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR R A DAILY LESSON HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST? As the war drags on without any decrease of intensity or any promise of the end, military experts are fig uring on how long the available sup ply of human material will last The las test casualty reports give a pretty good basis of computation. The British dead, wounded and missing up to May fl numbered I6S, 000. The total had almost doubled In seven weeks, and the figures will run up still more rapidly as the army is brought to Its full strength and as sumes its share of the fighting. Servla has lost about an equal num ber of men. llelglum's losses are given as about 200,000. Gorman casualties re estimated by careful observers at perhaps 1,215,000.

Mrs. Reddy had pick ed out their new home In the park and had settled all in nice order, they determined to explore around a bit. It's all very well to have a good home," said Reddy, "and this new one In a big tree trunk surely is a good one, but I for one, want to know something about the place I live. Now let's visit around a bit and see i thore Is anybody we want to get ac quainted with. We may have very good neighbors. Anyway we ought to find out and see who lives near. Come now, let's be oft!" But Mrs. Reddy didn't want to be off. She wanted to stay and nx the nests some more. "Just see, Reddy," she said, wo want this pile- of rubbish cleared out and we want oh there axe a lot of little Jobs we want to do. Let stay and work at home." "No, I'm tired of working at home" complained Reddy, "I'm going out" "Alright then," said Mrs. Reddy contentedly, "you go out and I'll stay hero and finish the work. Then you can tell me all you see and hear," she added persuasively. So Reddy allowed himself to be persuaded t- do exactly what he had intended all along to do anyway. He said "good-bye" and started out. He had not gone far when he saw before him a little squirrelu nearly as big as himself and exactly the same color. "There Is somebody who looks like 'a good neighbor," he whispered to himself, "I'll hide here and watch him. If ho seems to be my kind of a squirrel, I'll make his acquaintance." So Reddy pushed himself tight Into the bushes and watched. The stranger squirrel sat up straight on his hind legs and daintily nibbled his nuts; but Reddy noticed that he had a curious habit of turning his head way round sideways when he Otherwise he seemed to do quite as Reddy himself would do. So Reddy decided to speak to him and see if they could be friends. "May you Uways have as many nuts before you as now," said Reddy politely. The stranger squirrel took a quick glance at Reddy who was edging his way out of the bushes and then at the pile of nuts before him. "That surely Is a good wish," he said, "won't you have one yourself. Are you new in the park? I don't re member seeing you before." "We lived here a few days last year," explained Reddy as he helped himself to a nut, "but hornets came to our nest so we went away. But we mean to try it again this year because the eating Is so good. "Yes, isn't it," stld the stranger squirrel, "I got all this pile of nuts from the children visitors yesterday. That's better than hunting them your self, says I." They .talked back and forth a few minutes and all the while, Reddy was noticing that queer sideways move ment of the stranger squirrel's head. At last his curosity got the better of his manners and he said, '"why do you turn your head so queerly? Is something the matter with your eye?" Then the squlrAel turned the other way and Reddy saw that he was quite blind In his left eye. "Yes that Was an accident that happened before' I came to the park. Some hunters shot Into the tree where I was hiding and though the shot missed killing me, tt blinded me as you see. That 's the reason why my friends advised me to live In the park. Food hunting Is much easier here because the children are so kind to me," added the squirrel bravely.
