IVIiss Pattie Robertson, a stu

2:20 o'clock in the college infirm
ary from the effects of typhoid
fever. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
E. J. Robertson of Woodsdale,
were at her bedside when the end
came. The remains were- taken to
Woodsdale' Saturday night, ac
companied by the grief stricken
parents. The funeral arid inter
ment took place at Woodsdale
Sunday afternoon.
Miss Robertson, who was a
member of the senior class of the
State Normal, was a lovable young
woman and quite popular among
the students and her' untimely
death at the age of 20 years will

on most reliable' data. They , do
not include the losses of the color

British :armies, but as :hese color

used as much as possible m great
attacks, the total of French and
British losses probably is several
hundred. thousand higher. y : :
"In the engagements of the Som:'
me since July 1, 140- French and
British divisions have been em
ployed. These were drawn from
all parts of the front from the
ocean to Switzerland. I'he majori
ty of the divisions, after short
rests, returned twice or even three
or four times to the front.
'The French losses on the Som
me up to the end of November are
estimated as at least 250,Q00 and
the3ritish at 580,000, men. Thus
the total of vFrench - and - British
tively estimated as at least 800,000
men. They, therefore, exceed con
siderably the German losses as es
timated by Germany's enemies at
690,000 men. As a matter of fact
the, German losses were much less
than 500,000 men. At the same
time it must be taken into consid
eration that about 76 per cent of
all the German wounded, after a
short time, are able to 5 return to
the front, tha iks to the excellent
medical care they receive and the
