The Genoa parleys have lost their importance in a large measure because the big thing they were call- ed for, the settlement of the Rus- sian situation could not be settled on any terms except those laid down by Russia herself, it was understood that Russia had accepted, in prin- ciple, the condition of meeting pre- war debts as well as those of the subsequent period, The_-rights of foreign nationals to their properties in Russia were also subject for dis- cussion, and fair headway was said to have been made in this respect.

Accepting General von Altrock's figures as accurate, it appears that the total of those killed and wound- ed in the German forces, reckoned by the hour, exceeds the losses of any other great Power in the con- flict except Russia. When Russia made peace she had been in the war forty-three months and three days. Her losses, in round numbers, in killed were 1,700,000 and in wound- ed 4,950,000. For every hour of her participation in the war 54.8 of her men were killed and 159.8 wounded. Russia's hourly losses ex- ceed Germany's in the number of killed by 8.8 and in the number of wounded by $0.5. Austria-Hungary lost 800,000 wen killed and 23.200,000 wounded, or on the average 21.6 killed and 86.6 wounded every hour; Framee lost 1,385,300 killed, or 37.7 for every hour, and 2,765,000 wounded, or 72.8 hourly. The British Empire's soldiers were killed at the rate of 18.8 an hour and were wounded at the rate of 55.4 hourly. The Central Records Office of the - American Expeditionary Forces, | from which the figures presented | come, gives the British loss in killed | as 692,065 and in wounded as 2,037.- 325. Italy was in the war forty-one months and nineteen days. Her 364, 000 men killed died at the hourly rate of 12.1 and her 947,000 soldiers wounded were stricken at the rate of 31.5 an hour. ; : The United States was in the war nineteen months and four days. Much of this time was devoted to #aising armies and tramsporting them to France: The total killed was 50.327, and wounded 205.690. American soldiers were killed at the rate of 3.6 and wounded at the rate of 14.9 an hour for the whole period of the country's participation. The ing. Broad jump--ILower School, Adele Lumbers, H.

This meeting should be of special interest to local business people, as upwards of two thousand visitors are expected here for the three days, with the consequent stimulus in pur- chasing from Oshawa stores. Also, from a publicity standpoint, the event will be a valuable means of broadcasting a first-hand idea of Oshawa"s progressiveness and hos- pitality. This program represents the prac- tical means of raising an entertain- ment fund and the gencrous patron- age of its advertising space by local firms will result in 2a measure of good-fellowship being provided such as the occasion certainly deserves.

Recent atroci- ties in those territories under the control of the Turk National- lists or Kemalists as they are some- times called after their leader, are said to outrival all that has gone be- fore. Even the massacres that aroused the ire of Gladstdne many years ago | and the more recent occurences, made familiar by newpaper reports to this generation, have been put into the shade. Under the circumstances it might have heen expected that the powers would take some practical steps to save the remnants of the Christian races. But they are seem- ingiy to coutent themselves with an investigation. Britain has asked France, Italy and the United States to join her in this. Austen Chamber- lain in making this announcement quoted the Foreign Office despatches as using the words 'appalling bar- barity" in referring to the massacres. It is probable that France and Italy will join with Britain in an inguiry. There appears to be in Washington, however, a determination to have nothing to do with old world troubles if these can be kept away from United States shores. The wor d would have reason to hail the United States with joyous acclaim if it decid- od to be not only a sympathiser, bat a crusador in this busingss of putting an end to massacres by the Turks. The European nations seem to be helpless through lack of means and utter war weariness. It may turn out yet, however, that Britain will have to handle this business alone.
