yl lOAKLAND TRIBUNE EDITOmAL mGElf I I Fearful Losses in Europe's Battles. I PRINCE AS FRESHMA'N ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR PEACE In Magdalen everything was made eay for htm to -take an Immediate place in couple' lira ana ini.ere uw muw ments." He was entertained arut gave ew tertalnmenta In retttrn; and those present found. that though he was at first rather shy, he was a delightful addition to a dinner party, moiit attractive inv the quest and humble part he took In the conversation, but full of humor and; with opinions at once decided and sane. An Impression of the Prince of Wales' life at Oxford, written by a fellow-undergraduate, appears In the Times. The prince's life in the university, he says, has been an experiment of a rather daring kind.

It was decided that he was to1 be in every ense an ordinary undergraduate. No distinctions were to be observed by those he met in manner or in style, of speech." There were to be no special privileges. He was to come up as a "fresher" and behave as a "fresher." Thus, when he eventually arrived, we found that he was In no way different from any other undergraduate, except that he looked rather more youthful than most, that he still retained a passionate and almost wistful love of his life as a sailor, and that he had taken the unusual course for an undergraduate of bringing with him an equerry and a'tutor, who lurked somewhere in the background. his laugh ana smue are pernac particularly attractive. Berlin admits that 104,589 German soldiers have been killed or wounded or ar missing.

Paris, London and Vienna are more reticent and gives out little regarding the slain and hurt except as applies to the enemies of Russia. Vienna bars the use of crepe and Berlin has suggested that wearing black is not in accord with the spirit of the empire. The reasons are obvious and require no explanation. Berlin's tosses are underestimated and neither of the other four capitals want to give details because of the moral effect. To print the entire roster dead and maimed would appall those who await the news from the firing line to an extent that volunteers would cease to tender their services and those liable to call to the colors would shrink from performing their military duty.

One hundred and four thousand in a little more than thirty days' fighting continuous in character on the part of Germany in marching through Belgium and down into northern France when every step was resisted What misinformation Especially when it is considered that the grand tactics of Germany include he "attack brusque" ly and perseverlngly for the college sec ond Eleven; he became a private in the officers' training corps; he played goif, ran with the beagles, drove his motor car with enthusiastic speed. When he was not actually playing there was no more zealous spectator o( college competitions, and in Eights week no more untiring follower of the boat from the towpath. London Times. ffttUilii n.ur.u.vp. in masses as compared to the open order of many other nations, our own included.

Especially also when it is remembered that Russia applies its force in battle on the same lines and seeks victory THE TRADE CIRCULAR 1 that escapes the wastebasket is the exception. Soliciting letters largely go the same way. No one disregards a telegram The manufacturer, jobber or merchant who uses superiority of numbers. That which applies to Kussia also, applies to Austria and to Servia. France and England only are battling on the principle evolved by the first Napoleon imitating the American Indian when he ordered his troops formed in double line, with intervals so as to show a broad front to the enemy and to fight from covet wherever possible.

So far as losses are concerned we cannot believe that Germany has lost in killed, wounded and missing only 104,000 and it is certain that in the long-struggle between the troops of the Kaiser and thoscof French, Joffre and Pau are equal to those who have died in the German advance and retreat. Why this total issupd by the German war office means only a loss of 3466 men a day for thirty days, when it is patent that in some of the charges on the fortifications through Belgium, before Germany had her big siege guns in action, the empire lost men in winrows, while the defenders suffered in proportion as to attack and defense. It is more than safe to assert that the men who have perished or have been incapacitated in the advance and retreat marking the effort to take Paris will total a quarter of a million and that the attack and resistance in eastern Prussia will amount to nearly as many more, with enough killed, wounded and missing in the assaults oh Belgrade to make up a half million of the best young men of Europe offered on the altar of war. 1 It is small wonder that the nations involved do not want to print their casualty lists. When the truth is fully known the effect wijl be appalling.

The.whole world will shrink in horror at the results of a truggle that might have beeri settled fytd Austria answered yej to the plea of the nations for mediation. Villa appears determined to stay on the front page if he has to start a revolution to accomplish it. Dr. J. Arthur Ballard, of Lancaster, advises people to retain their vermiform appendices; that this supposed rudimentary organ serves a useful purpose, acting as an oil can for the intestinal canal.

The City Garden Soldier movement, is lining the streets and vacant lots with flowers that will appeal Consider for a moment Back east the geranium is a house plant, cared for like a sick child, nourished and fostered and cuddled. Here we use it for a hedge, a fence it you please.

Here it runs riot in all its varied varieties, a mass of color and splendor. East the rose is a plant that blossoms once a year; in Oakland it is perpetually in bloom. That which applies to geraniums and rose applies, to other blossoms. Imagine the delight of an eastern visitor at looking upon the riot of flowers all pver the vast area of the cities of Continental California. In the east the palm is a dead plant, kept green by artificial methods, is housed in a tub and looked upon with a certain amount of reverence'.

In Oakland the palm is ever present in all its varieties. In the east the semi-tropical plants of all sorts are coaxed and tended season after season; here they flourish without aid by human effort East the scenery is soft, here it is grand and rugged.

There remains some three or four thousand feet of this road to be completed, but it is half done and the section remaining unfinished is in such good ground that a small gang of men can finish it in two or three weeks. But to save expenses following the winter rains, the transfer should be made now. While the road is open for automobiles from the Snake Road to a point within three or four thousand feet of the Tunnel Road junction there are some slight repairs needed for protection only. If these are made at once the highway will be preserved in splendid condition for tourist travel next year when thousands will be here. And as THE TRIBUNE ha remarked previously, Mt.

Tam-alpais is in no respct' superior to this drive when opened so as to admit of entrance or exit from either side. The Snake road is in fairly good shape right now. At the top there is an inexhaustible supply of shale rock that makes the finest sort of roadway when used with oil, and with this utilized and rolled as in the Tunnel road to the point where the junction will be made, no street in the city will have any advantage over any portion. Every motorist in Oakland knows the Tunnel Road fa a splendid driveway, and when it is considerd that at a minimum of cost this can be connected with another with far more beauties of a scenic variety, it looks as if something should be done at once. Repairs now mean permanency next year.

That this boulevard will be the delight of the thousands who will visit the city no one who knows will doubt. It 5s available for the big sightseeing cars and there is not a foot of the distance that cannot be traversed by machine with ease. But to insure the best results the work should be done this fall before the heavy rains and then next spring, the permanency attained will be of such a character that the expense will be negligible. three montfes' trip of business and pleasure In NeWYorK and Europe.
