ALLIES HAVE LOSY MILLION
MEN IN SOMME OFFENSIVE
______
BERLIN, Oct. 25.—British and
French divisions, with a total of over
one million men, have been totally
annihilated in the Somme battle, says
the military critic of the Overseas
News Agency. According to the fig
ures from Swiss sources, as given by
the news agency, the Russian losses
from June 1 to October 2 were about
one minion men.
The News Agency's military critic
writes:
"The heavy sacrifices suffered by
the British and French for the recap
ture of each square yard on the
Somme front is proved by the fact
that in three and one-half months
about nlhety fresh divisions were vir
tuaiiy annihilated, so that it was nec
essary to withdraw them- forever.
(Ninety divisions represent a total
of considerably more than 1,000,000
men. There are about 12,000 men
in French divisions and 19,000 in a
British division). These divisions
disappeared entire from battle. Fif
ty-five divisions in consequence of
their great losses, were able to en
gage in combat only twice, fifteen di
visions three times and only one wa:
able to engage in combat four times.

Doctor Taken Poison.

Titus, who was arrested here today
on a charge of performing an illegal
operation, took a dose of poison while
being conveyed to prison, and died in
a few minutes.
Reasons for
Voting Alaska Dry
Because: The liquor business em
ploys only one-third as many men for
the money Invested that any other
business does.
Because: It retards the develop
ment of Alaska and Its people.
Because: There are 666,000 liquor
made orphans in the United States.
Because: Our drink bill would
pay a live years’ course of education
for 2,000,000 children.
Because: The licensed saloon is
making 100,000 drunkards annually,
one boy In every five dies a drunkard.
Because It has been proven that al
cohol has no food value: it is a pois
on, lowers xitality, lessons efficiency,
is degenerating and destructive to
man.
Because: The cost of added crime,
Idiocy, insanity and pauperism, caus
ed by drink paid for by direct taxa
tion, exceeds 200,000 a year. In Col
orado the expense caused by drink is
double the revenue from the saloons.
Because: Ninety per cent of the
Inmates of the State Homes for De
pendent Children are there because of
drink. “Eighty-five per cent of the
prisoners in the State penitentiaries
are there because of drink.”
Because: As a defective link
weakens the whole chain, so the state
is weakened by its derelict citizens;
and the State has a right to prohibit
that which makes a man Iobs valuable
as a citizen. A strong, virile citizen
ship is the greatest asset of a State.
