co-defendantfe didno t receive a sq tar
deal in the California Courts when

waerts the great German Socalist
Newspaper states that the German
war casualties reach the staggering
total of six million three hundred and
twenty thousand. This includes the
losses on all fronts and both by sea
and land. One million five hundred
| thousand or nearly twenty five per
| cent are comprised in the lists of
those who were killed or died of dis
ease and wounds, robbing the coun
try of the flower of its manhood, a
loss which will take years to replace,
not to mention the homes that have
been desolated.

loss of so much first class man power
greatly during the reconstruction
period after peace is declared as she
had to import long before the war
great numbers of laborers from Rus
sia, Austria and Italy for agricultural
work, minihg, building roads and so
forth, sources that cannot be reckon
