pie from leaving automobiles stand

Mortality In Battle.
Editorial in the New York World.

Editorial in the New York World.
To read of battle in which 100000
men are engaged naturally raises visions
of wholesale slaughter. All the appliances
ofmodern warfare are designed to that end
all the skill and science of the greatest
military experts are directed to that pur-
pose.
Yet, basinG estimates on authentic his
torical records, there is good reason to as
sumo that the number of men killed in any
one battle in France will be surprisingly
low when compared with the death rate
under normal circumstances among the
same number of men. At Gettysburg, for
instance, the death rate per 1000 was
55,5, the highest in q battles during the
Civil War. According to the figures pub
ished by the Northwestern Mutual Life
Company in the American experience table
of mortality, for every 1000 men living at
the age of 40 there will be $50 deaths
before reaching the age of So. For all
purposes, this is exactly the same rate of
mortality as that on the field of Gettys-
burg. That is to say, each soldier had the
same chance of surviving the battle of
Gettysburg that man now 40 years old
has of living TO be SO. At the battle of
Charlottesville the death rate among the
soldiers engaged was 20.3 per 1000. Ac-
cording to the life insurance tables the
death rate per 1000 among men in peace
full pursuits ranging in age from AZ to a.
is exactly the same. Every soldier at
Shiloh, where the death rate in battle was
42.2 per 1000. had the same chance of
escaping alive as the average man of 30
has of reaching the age of 35.
These figures are surprising in showing
how far we are likely to be led estray in
calculating the relative mortality in battle.

Gently fold this faded treasure.

Memories sacred around il cluster,
Memories Of a nation torn;
Rent by passion fire, relentless.

Tell by miehtier forces vanquished
Cause and flag pass out Of life.
Hearts there are DER all our Southland
Ever loyal, brave and true
Where devotion's flame burns brightly
For the Gray and not the Blue.
Meier can we forget our soldiers.
Brave defenders Of the home,
While our harps hang on the willows,
Prayers ascend where'er they roam.
Though our banner now be conquered,
Though the cOlors trail in dust.
The arm Of the Lord defends us.
In His promise is our trust.

The Players Club Coming.

The theater-eoing public of Rockville is
to be given an opportunity of witnessing a
performance at the Lyric Theater of the
famous Players Club of Washington. Ar
rangements have been completed between
Mr.. William A. Brooke and the producing
directors of this organization to give "An
Evening in Vaudeville" in Rockville on
Monday evening, October 5th, 1914.
1t was not until recently that the Coun-
Gil of the Players Club decided in playing
few limited ENGAGEMENTS in the nearby
States, and after much persuasion Mr..
Brooke secured one of the open dates.
Rockville will be the only town of so small
population which will be visited by this
club.
The Players Club have in their member
ship of both men and women some of the
best-known entertainers and theatrical
folk in this section, and their successful
productions in the city of Washington dur
ing the past three years have made them
an important factor for furnishing high
class performances for the Smart Set"
society and charitable productions Having
a membership of both men and women, it
is better prepared to produce seriously and
accurately dramas, operas, farces, musical
comedies and vaudeville than the Mask
and Wig Club of the University of Penn
sylvania, Triangle Club of Princeton Uni
versity and the Paint and Powder Club of
Baltimore. 1t does not have to depend
upon its male members impersonating
female roles.
In Washington the Players Club has its
own Little Theater. fully equipped with
stage, lighting effects, scenery and an audi
forum with a seating capacity of two hun
bred and twenty-five. This seating capac-
ity will just accommodate the members
and very few outsiders who are invited
from the theatrical profession to witness
the TRY outs" Of plays. musical sketches
and vaudeville acts The club also holds
its "Frolic" nights in the Little Theater"
several times during the winter season and
at these affairs club members alone are
admitted
The coming of the Players Club promises
to furnish society theatrical night for the
residents of Rockville and it is the hope of
the local management that the represen-
tative families of this town will be present
to greet this popular organization. In
order to accommodate the demands of
those who will be anxious TO secure their
tickets in advance. reserved seats will be
placed on sale in advance at Wilson's
Drug Store. Notice of the date for opening
this sale will be announced latter.

George M. Kober, President OF the National
Association for the Prevention of Tubercu-
lOsis.
This hospital having been legally made
part Of the county's public business and
the work having been inaugurated by the
creation Of the Commission, it is to be re-
gretted that more of our citizens did not
hear these three men. eminent throughout
the land for their expert knowledge and
proved ability.
After a general conference the following
action was taken:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting Of citizens and taxpayers that the
Trustees Of the Poor, acting for Montgom-
cry county, convey or deed to the Tubercu-
lOsis Commission of Montgomery County

purpose Of establishing tuberculosis Hos
pital in execution Of the Jones Bill also
that we request the Board Of County Com
missioners to appropriate from the county
funds as much in addition to the valuation
of said fifteen acres as will be needful to
make up the sum Of $4,000.
A list of very liberal voluntary contribu-
tons to further this cause was started and
steps taken to organize a systematic can
