PKOCKESS OF THE WAR.
Military exports estimate that the
Austrians must have lost at least
:br)0,000 man as a result of the present
Russian offensive in Galicia and Vol
liynia and according to review who
have followed closely the incidents and
events of the war, it is probably that
Australia will be demoralized by
this mammoth campaign. Fear that the
Russians will run into a trap as they
did early in the war when they press
ed the Austrians and Germans back
is discounted by military writers be
cause the Russian leaders have a
sufficient supply of shell and men to
carry on the offensive over a great
area. Germany will be kept busy on
other lines.
The military expert of the New
York Times sees no prospect of a
British offensive soon. In the first
place, the German offensive at Verdun
has about exhausted the supply of
ammunition accumulated for the
spring drive, and in the second place
commanders of armies are not in the
habit of advertising when they will
strike next, las busy newspaper
writers have done for the French and
British. In case the French should
decide to hold Verdun at any cost, the
British may strike in the Ypres
sector, but only in that event.
The strategy of the allies evidently
is to let the Germans hammer away on
the western front, where very little
can be gained and to inflict the
maximum punishment on them with
the minimum of losses for themselves,
meanwhile handing over to Russia
the task of smothering the Austrians
in a field where entrenched lines are
almost impossible. The chances for
operations in the field in Galicia and
Volhynia are unlimited.
Newspaper readers cannot help
from following the sensational camp
aign of the Russians in the east, and
it is here the greatest results, at least
for the present, are to be expected.
with the capture of Czernowitz and
the lengthening of the line, the chances
for a general retirement of the Ger
mans and Austrians increase. On this
front it is possible that the Russians
may destroy the Austrian military
power.
PRESS COMMENT
The Ex-doctor and the Ex-judge
Greensboro News.
Judge Clino did a graceful thing
yesterday in taking occasion during
his charge to the grand jury to pay
a tribute to S. Glenn Brown, up to
yesterday judge of the municipal
court of 'Greensboro, but today under
orders to exchange ermine for khaki.
Greensboro suffers the loss of but
two men by reason of the mobiliza
tion of the national guard, but they
are two that she can ill afl'ovd to spare
Judge Brown and Dr. Tankersley beg
pardon. Major Brown and Captain
i ankc rs'ey :re both men who have
made too'lr citizenship count. The
hidge. I.-,' reason of his position, has
necessarily been more within the vis
ion of the nublic at large: Judge Cline
condoles the city on the loss of a judge
who knows the law and will enforce
it; and it is a serious loss, although
not irreparable.
Our chief regret at seeing the judge
tarn soldier is the fact that he had
been making his court, so far as he
was able, less an instrument of ven
geance than a corrective influence in
the community. We are not ofFering
him the palpably ins'neere praise of
alleging that he made no mistakes;
but we do assert with pride that he
labored earnestly to save what rem
nants of manhood could be salvaged
from every rni'.iefac-or brought before
him. That type of judge is nor to be
found in every aw office and that is
why we consider the lossof Brown a
heavy one.
Needless to say, both he and his
comrade in arms will render the state
and the nation good service; and if we
regret partir with the men, Greens
boro is corresponding v proud of fur
nishing such soldiers.

LIFE AND WAR
New York Times.
At the end of two years the Euro
pean war will have cost between 3,
oOO.OOO and 4.000,(i()0 lives, as nearly as
one can estimate the toll, not counting
the hopelessly disabled, which would
add perhaps 40 per cent more. The
maimed who will still be able to pro
duce their own sustenance are a sepa
rate number. Never before has human
material been used up at such a rate
as this. During the whole nineteenth
century the cost of the'world's wars in
male life probably did not exceed
o.OOO.OOO men. That includes the ten
Napoleonic years, in which the total
loss of life must have

JOIN THE GUARD
Indications point to the speedy re
cruiting of the local military company
ro 14 men, minimum war strength
and it is to be hoped that Captain
Eyerly will not be long in signing up
enough volunteers to enable him to
report his readiness to move on Camp
Glenn.
We cannot promise of course that
men who join the company at this
time will not be in danger on the bord
er, in case they are sent there for
patrol duty, but it will be a valuable
experience for young men, and most
of the fighting, if any is to be done,
and the chances are that they will not
run many risks. The regulars will do
most the militia of New York, Penn-
syalvania and Illinois, it is declared,
will be ordered on border duty first.
Even if the company is not callea
on for duty, the members will have
valuable training at Camp Glenn dur
ing the hot months; and if they are
called on for service, they will be able
to render it. Furthermore, they will
have gained experience that they will
value the rest of their lives.
Laying aside all patriotism, there
ought to be sufficient inducement to
cause young men in this section to
swell the roster of the local
to its limit.
company
It is to be hoped that the next
general assembly, when it tackles the
question of fixing license taxes, will
make it possible for a town that does
not want a carnival to keep it out. In
the revenue and machinery act the
general assembly specifies what taxes
shall be collected by the counties and
municipalities for carnivals and other
shows, and not a cent more can be
assessed. The municipalities are help
less, if we are informed correctly.

rope at that time. When you think of
it in percentages jt is not so terrible,
at least not at first. Thus, a toll of 1
per cent of Europe's population for
tne .apoleonic wars is a reckoning
which in its statistical interest seems
almost unimportant. And, likewise, the
population of Europe having much
more than doubled in the meantime, it
is surprising to find that the toil of be
tween 3,500,000 anil 4,000,000 lives
chargeable to the present war at the
end of its second year will be less than
1 per cent of the eopIe inhabiting
Europe. It is even comforting, and
one will prefe to think of it statisti
cally, saying that though actually the
wastage of life is staggering relatively
it is not so.
But to destry out of a whole popu
lation 1 per cent of the strongest man
hood may have, is almost bound to
have, consequences which cannot be
expressed statistically at all. The
people now surviving in the world are
the progeny of but an extremely small
fraction of the number living a few
generations ago. There is a constant
elimination of the less adaptive or a
running out of the unchosen lines
which have not the qualities naturally
preferred for perpetutation. This
process has been thought to account
for perhaps 5 per cent of each gener
ation. Thus, one does not have to go
back many generations to find the
apex of the existing racial structure.
Consider, therefore, the consequences
to the future of marking at any time!
even 1 per cent of the population for
oremature destruction and of selecting
ior mis tare, as war does, the most
virile part of that population. When
you think of it in that way, the per
centage which in the present seems so
small multiplies itself rapidly into the
iuture ot the race, and causes one to
wonder whether the price the living
generation will have to pay for this
war is remotely comparable to the
price posterity will pay.
War makes a remorseless selection
oi human material for its own pur
pose and destroys it without taking
ine irouoie even to count it, carefully.
