The adjutant general OF the army n
statement the other day demonstrated
that the deaths in our army. since the
beginning OF the war showed no greater
a percentage than the record in the
District OF Columbia for the same
period, and figures have been quoted by
other authorities to show that the death
rate for corresponding periods in large
cities is normally as great and even
greater than that suffered by our
armies in battle and In camp.
| Such statements are. however. plainly
deIusiye. In the large cities. in the
District OF Columbia, the aged. the in
firm and the infant population con-
tribute largely TO make the death rate.
But our army was made up OF men
physically superb, men selected by an
unprecedently high standard of strength
and good health. the very pick OF the
youth and the Drawn of the physically
strongest of nations. mostly young fell
lows whom the life insurance COM
panies would cheerfully have taken as
risks at lowest rates with a long life
expectancy.
IL is foolish to defend the handling of
our troops by any such comparison.
More honest as well as more encourage
ing to the intelligent student OF the sit
uation are comparisons possible with
other armies and other wars.
1t is estimated, for instance. that the
death rate I'm our army on n four
months basis has been about 225 in O
thousand. Now, of course, this is very
low by comparison with wars carried |
on by foreign armies in earlier years. |
while in our own army during the first
year OF the Civil War the annual death
rate was So per thousand per annum
GA per thousand by disease). On the
soth of June. 1868. there were in the
hospitals of the Union army 1856 men in
every thousand.
These comparisons, however. offer no |
for the losses occasioned in
our army this summer by evident lack
Of preparation and care. but they do
offer the hope that when all the returns
are In. the casualties will be proved to I

TO the Editor OF The News:
Here is a copy from an old memoran-
dunn by a member of the 18th Maine
Regiment Volunteers: 'In most of the
loyal states Thursday, November 26,
1868, was observed as Thanksgiving
Day; but little cared the soldier OF the
grand old Potomac army as he buckled
on his knapsack and fell into the ranks
on the morning OF that day. In obe-
dience TO the bugle calls. For him no
sumptuous repasts. no holiday relaxa-
tion from the stern realities of war. A
long march over frozen roads, a hard
tack. a slice or raw pork and dish of
black coffee. by the roadside. for his
thanksgiving dinner, and n cheerless
bivouac on the frozen ground, awaited
him"
On the 23d OF August the division
was reviewed by Gen. Birney. The 18th
turned out every available man. except
the camp guards. and mustered 1874
guns. Just one year previous we arr
rived In Washington with 1921 rank and
file,

OUR LOCOMOTIVE WORKS.

IT would be a mighty fine thing II in
the coming months Of industrial revival
the magnificent plant of the Rhode ISL
and Locomotive Works should be start
ed up.
Since the closing down OF this splen-
did establishment we have. from time
to time, heard rumors of its starting or
the creation Of a new mechanical in
dustry out of the old plant. But none
of these seem to have amounted to any
thing, and the great buildings present
today peculiarly pathetic sight with
their closed windows and their smoke
less chimneys.
The indications are that railroad de-
velopment is to figure conspicuously in
the new upward movement of Industry
that we are all expecting with con-
fidence. We believe that locomotive
works In other parts are doing rush..

one Of the prominent shops has had to
refuse orders. The Rhode Island loco
motive OF former days found a ready
market and was widely known as
first class machine. Sufficient gump-
tion and capital to start up the works
would most likely find profitable re-
sponse. while the benefit to the city and
state from the calling Of the small army
of skilled mechanics to take up their
occupation and make their homes here
would be impressive.
Are not the times propltious for
awakening the splendid plant where
mighty engines used to be launched,
contributing SO largely to the prestige
of our State as an industrial common

RED MEN.

Moshassuck tribe kindled its council
fire Monday evening, and one candi-
date was initiated and the exemplifica-
tion of the degree work was worthy of
special mention. Visitors were present
and a good time was had after the
work.
Great Sachem Frank s. Scott, and the
great chiefs have arranged for this ON
cial visitation, which Will commence
during the present month. The great
sachem expects TO see an increase in
the membership during the year and
has received words OF announcement
from the subordinate lodges through
out the state.
Several applications for membership
are pending in Wamsutta tribe and the
outlook for the winter is bright.
Clifford j. Dean OF Tahoma tribe No.
5. and BENJAMIN Maynard OF Narragan-
sett tribe No. 8. will leave today for In
dianapolis as the representatives to the
great council of the United States
which convenes In that city on Tuesday
next.
The first annual banquet of the
Rhode Island Past Sachems' Associa-
tion, which is composed OF members OF
the Order Of Red Men. was held at
Gelb's Wednesday. the 12 tribes in this
state being represented. Among those
present were: j. Peter Gardner, past
grand sachem OF Massachusetts;
Charles A. Weaver, past great sachem
of Massachusetts; w. A. Jordan, great
senior sycamore great council OF Mas.
sachusetts and secretary and treasur.
er Of the Massachusetts Past Sachems'
Association; A. r. Steele, great sachem
OF Massachusetts,, and several local
dignitaries.
At the close Of the banquet President
George II. Saunders acted as toast
master, and letters OF regret were read
from Gov. Dyer and Mayor Baker. Ad-
dresses were made by nearly all the
out-of-town visitors. and J.Peter Gard
ner OF Boston spoke upon the question
or the permanence OF the sick benefit
system. and expressed the opinion that
the system was all wrong and not bas-
ed on true business principles. No orr
ganization could AFFORD to promise to
pay in the future what the receipts did
not warrant Its promising to pay. Ev-
cry organization that was carrying on
the benefit system at the present day
was paying out the money TOO fast.
Brief speeches were also made by
Great Sachem Steele andGreat Sachem
Weaver, both of Massachusetts,. who
spoke upon the general good Of the or
der. and they were followed by Great
Senior Sycamore Jordan OF Massachu-
setts, and of the Rhode Islanders pres-
ent, Great Sachem r. G.. Scott, Great
Senior Sycamore C.. A. HILBERT, Great
Junior Sycamore H. s. Archer. Chair
man Joseph Tarr OF the executive
board and President George r. Saun-
ders. who all spoke briefly. but to the
point.
