COMPENSATION ACT
SAVES LEGAL COSTS

Madison, Wis, Jan. 22.-The work.
to show the beneficial result of the
amendment of 1913, in reversing the
manner Of elections of employers af-
| fected by it. During October there
were 901 industrial accidents in Wis
consin, not including railroad acct
dents. OF this number 791. or SO per
cent, were under compensation. Ac-
cording to reports made to the indus
trial commission, the number of acct
dents is increasing. but this only ap-
parently is true. The fact is more &C
cidents are reported thar formerly: In
the case Of shop accidents, which here
tofore have been accurately reported,
a decrease. is shown.
Because of the federal liability act
applying to accidents in interstate COM
merce, the larger railroads, except the
500. have not come under the act.
5000 Gases a Year.
During October last. 553 accident
cases were settled under the compen-
sation law. This was at the rate of
$3.50 cases for the ear. The cost a,
case on the average. excluding medical
and hospital charges. was $62.89. APP
plying the same cost to the $3.50 cases,
S417.374 is the total cost a year for
indemnity. If to this is added the es-
timated cost of medical and hospital
charges, $626.061 is the probable cost
of compensation for SO per cent Of the
industrial accidents in Wisconsin for
1913. Indemnity is paid only in cases
where disability extends beyond the
seventh day, while medical attendance
applies to all accidents where such
services are needed. 80. s,a.r
The cost here given accounts only
for money actually paid to or on be-
half of the injured workmen, and does
not include overhead cost of insur-,
ance. The amount paid to injured
workmen is easily more than three,
times as much as they received in any
one year under the old. law. But this
does not by any means show that it
cost the employers three times as much
under the old system. Under that
system, the injured workmen did not
receive more than Is per cent Of the
amount paid by employers, while I'M
der the compensation act at least IS
per cent of the amount paid by en-,
ployers goes directly to the men whoa
are hurt.
Insurance Rates Fa1k
In another way the results of the
operation of the compensation law last
year are gratifying. Old time insur-
ance rates were reduced twice during,
the year. In February rates were re-
duced about % per cent, and in Oc-"
tober they were reduced about Is per
cent and at the same time coverage
was increased from $4,000 and &c. 900
to an unlimited amount. For unlimit-
ed coverage under liability the rates
were about 20 per cent higher than
under limited coverage.
In addition to the foregoing 11S
cases of accidents were settled against
the state and municipalities at a cost
OF $39, 942.
The cost OF administration of the
compensation act by the commission
for the year Of 1913 did not exceed.
$4,000. The saving in costs of litiga-
ton to countries is safely estimated
at over 100000.

special trains to carry the welcoming
party to New York.
Two Banquets Planned.
A banquet fitting in proportion to
the party which leaves here and
which returns from the globe circling

the night Of March s. the day after
the boat lands.

Batersea, in England, has elect
ed a negro mayor-F. j. Archer.
He made a vigorous and popular
campaign against a white man who
was not very well liked. The ques-
ton of color was not often men
toned, and it had practically no
influence with the, voters. The new
mayor is said to be a negro Of
some education and social stand
ing, inasmuch asst is possible for
a negro to- associate with respect
able white persons in England. In
Battersea there was perhaps less
feeling on account Of the mans
color than there would have been
in the, heart Of London, where
there is acquaintance with the
American feeling on this sub
ject.

Some high school teacher was quite
successful last week in Installing a very
real thirst for. knowledge among her
students, and the public library was
thronged with seekers of the same:
The yearning for light on the lives of
eminent authors was most noticeable,
and a few were very earnest in their
researches concerning the architecture
of Greek theaters. Among the anxious
questions heard at the loan desk were
the following: Can you tell me where
| can find some information about
Adam?" WAS Poe married?" us the
Cal of the Wild in?' which is the
shortest of the books for required read
ing? / have to have one ready to re-
port on, on Monday" Much reference
work for debates and club papers has
been done lately, and perhaps the fol-
lowing subjects will give some idea of
the questions that are of interest to the
people in these days,-Mother's Pen
sions, Workingmen's insurance, En-
ployer's Liability, Immigration, Dis
armament, n Ownership of public
utilities.

LIBRARY NOTES

Library hours, 9 a. NJ, to 9 p. M,
daily except Sundays, when the read
ing DON is open from 2 to s p. m.
Children's room is open every day from
1880 to $3.50 p. m, and on Saturdays
from 1880 to $50. The children's story
hours are held on Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons, after school.
The percentage of class books loaned
at the library Is much greater than
ever before. Especially is this true of
the class we call philosophy. The
thinking man or woman today seems
to want to know what other thinkers
have to say about the eternal problems,
and whether 1t is a fact to be regretted
or not, blind faith has a much weaker
hold on the human race than it had in
the years past. Some of the more
popular books in this class are, the
books of Eucken and Bergson, In After
Days; Thoughts on the Future Life, by
such writer's as HoWells, Henry James,
Julia Ward Howe and others, Bruce's
Riddle of Personality, and Ross Social
psychology.

FRENCH RECRUITS
READY FOR ACTION
The 1914 Class Has Now

Training

Paris, November 90 correspondence of
the Associated Press, THE class of 1911
recruits called out two months in advance
of its time, has now had three months
OF training and is reported by its COM
manding officers and instructors to be
ready for action.
This, 1t is said. may seem a remark
ably short time in which to whip into
shape, discipline and aeeustom to the hard
duties of campaign an army of 250,0ot
0-year-o old men, but 1t is explained how
ever that the material was excellent
Their fine physical condition is attributed
largely to the development of sport. There
are many indications that these young
soldiers are now near the fighting line.
The recruits of 1915, called out one year
before their time, have just passed the
medical examination but the years diff
ference in age does not show the antici-
pated difference in physical fitness The
proportion of accepted men will not fall
far short of the proportion of the class
of 1914. These soldiers will shortly leave
to take the place of the preceding class
In the instruction camps, and it is expect
ed that they will be ready for active serv-
ice by March.

BROKE IN THE WARS
Explaining How the Wounded Are
Cared for in Present Day Battle

The proper care of the wounded in
war is comparatively modern innova-
ton, dating from the time of the Crimea,
says London Ideas. Before that things
were left pretty much to chance. First
aid was unknown. Those badly hurt were
often left to die or recover as best they
might.
It's nucleus so to speak. is the adj
vanced field hospital. A modern battle
may extend over a front of % or 70
| miles, or even more upon occasion All
along behind this far flung line direct
ly In rear of the advanced infantry, and
close to the great guns, the advanced
field hospitals are to be found
One field hospital of this description
is usually attached to each brigade. go
ing forward with it, or retiring with it.
as the case may be. 1t consists, as a
general rule, of a small central mar
cuee, constituting a combined operating
room and dressing station, with a num-
Der of bell tents around il, capable of
accommodating so to 100 men. Above each
tent floats the Red Cross flag of Ge-
Deva.
Four or five or more miles in rear, out
of range of the enemy's fire, are the
stationary field hospitals. as they are
called, to which the advanced field hos
pitals act as feeders. They are much the
same In appearance as the others. but
the operating marques are larger and
more commodious. and the number OF
bell tents is far greater.
1t Is when a wounded soldier is passed
down from the advanced field hospital
that he first comes In contact with the
nursing sisters. Women are not allowed
to serve with the advanced field hos
pitfalls, their place there being taken by
male orderlies.
wounded mans stay In the advanced
field hospital is usually reckoned by
hours only, while he may remain In the
stationary field hospital for two or three
days, or a week.
Sooner or later, however, he is sent
down the line of communication to the
base hospital there to recover or die, as
fate, and the nature Of his wounds, may
| direct. If permanently disabled. he is in
va1ided home.
OF course. the wounded man in one Of
these establishments presents very DIFF
ferent spectacle from what he does
when the stretcher bearers first bring
him in to the advanced field hospital in
rear of the fighting line. In the one case
he IL surrounded by every comfort; in
the other, he Is dazed. sick, and help
less. He may have been given first aid.
or he may have not. 1t all depends.
In any case, it will be Of very rough

tablishing his claim, but the proceed
ings we're lively and proved of a lot of
interest--to antiquariansl
It would have been ironical indeed IL
Cunninghame Graham had donned the
coronet and ernie of a member OF the
House of Peers, he who. in spite of his
lineage declares that he 'glories most
in having, in his day. been hailed as
comrade by blacksmiths, miners and
artisans and who. in advocating the
candidacy of Kerr Hardie for the lord
rectorship of Glasgow university, de-
scribed him as being ten times more
widely known and a hundred times
more respected than Lord Curzon and
lLloyd-George."
He sat in Parliament for North Lam
AYRSHIRE for six years, and during this
| time was associated with John Bunrs
| in the latter's famous fight for the
right of free speech in the. labor riots
| of 1887 both men being sentenced to
| six weeks Imprisonment. Soon after his
release he wandered off to Morocco,
| where he adventured for year or two,
since when he has been a recognized
authority on the country and its
swarthy denizens. Later he went to
Spain, where he acquired a mastery of
the foil which made many maitre
darmes envious, and had a lot of queer
| adventures. Once, owing to a railway
accident in the land of manana, he
chummed up with a young passenger
who was carrying violin, and who
| played to him by the wayside, for close
on an hour. That passenger was Sar-
asate! Another time the author had to
act as interpreter and mediator between
a shipload and angry Basque emigrants
and a drunken Scotch crew.
| Cunninghame Graham sold his estate
of Gartmore, in Scotland, a few years
| back, but has kept that of Ardoch,
| which fact recalls curious story. Some
/ two hundred years ago, the reigning
| Graham of Gartmore, married Miss Bon
| tine. the heiress of Ardoch. but, with
| characteristic Scottish tenacfty, the cou-
pie would neither of them consent to
surrender the family name, nor could
they agree to hyphenate the two names,
as, in that case, one would have to take
precedence of the other So they hit
on an ingenious compromise by which
/ the son and heir for the time being
| should always bear the name of Bon
| tine of Ardoch. changing it to Graham
when he succeeded his father So the
pride of the Bontines was appeased.
| A keen lover of Spain, cunninghame
Graham, I have been told, said hard
things of us Americans during the
| "Yanko- Spanko" war, as Punch ingen-
| iously termed 1t. But he has had even
/ shrewder hits at his own countrymen,
| many a time and oft! In his work he
/ takes as his favorite text the right of
man to be happy and undisturbed IN
| a lowly and cheerful destiny, and south
| America is the canvas on which he loves
to embroider it. Lastly he has lofty
contempt for his readers, for while he
writes travel as 1t ought to be written,
| he complains that he does so in lieu of
