100000 WOMEN WORK
FOR THE KAISER'S GREAT
ARMY At FRONT
(By Associated Press.)

HANOVER, Feb. 6.-Over a million
women are engaged throughout Ger
many in work for the soldiers at the
front. Members of over two thousand
women societies give their services
voluntarily to the various branches of
assistance both for those fighting in
the trenches and for those who have
returned disabled by wounds or dis
ease. Not only are they doing splen-
did work in nursing in the field and in
the hospitals, but they are looking af-
ter those who are convalescing in
private houses and public institutions
or recuperating in order to be able to
return to the firing line.
In the numerous recreation halls
where the wounded soldiers gather
the women also do their best to pro-
vide entertainment. In other respects
also they are kept busy-for intsance,
in organizing popular kitchens where
food is provided cheaply for the in
digent dependents of the soldiers. They
also knit and make warm garments
for the troops, while many of them
devote themselves to the care of the
children of poor women obliged to go
to work to qeep their homes together
during their husbands absence.

DISEASE KILLS
FOUR MEN To
EVERY ONE SHOT
(By Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. Notwithstanding
modern medical science, eighty per
cent Of the deathes in the present war
are due to disease az against twenty
due to gun-fre. These are the figures
compiled by DR.. F. N. Sandwich, writ
ing in the current issue Of "The Hos
pital" This same proportion obtain
ed during the Russo-Turkish War Of
1S77-78. During the American Civil
War there were three deaths 10 dis
ease to every one from wounds, that
is to say, a mortality due to disease Of
sixty-six and two-thirds per cent.
During the French expedition in
Madagascar in 1895. according to the
writer, only twenty-nine deaths oc-
Cured in action as against seven
thousand who died by disease. In the
United States Army during the war
with Spain fourteen died of disease to
every one killed in action, although
the war lasted little more than six
weeks. In the Boer War the losses
from disease we're enormous, notwith-
standing the improvements in military
hygiene then in force.
The. Japanese, however, during the
war with Russia, we're able by exer.
cising the most scrupulous care to
reverse the ratio. In the case of their
troops only one man died of disease to
every four who died Of wounds.

AMERICUS GETS
FIRST SHIPMENT
WESTERN MULES
DEMAND FOR THE COTTON MAX.
Frs Is INCREASING. DEALERS
SAY.

The recently repudiated and dis
carded mule is again in active in ac-
tive demand in Americas, as else
where, and the first shipment to this
market. made this season, arrived to-
day. Quite recently hundreds of good
mules which year ago cost 5000 to
$3.50, were sold by local farmers at
prices ranging from 500 to Sis each,
and shipped to France and England
to haul cannon and army wagons. 1t
was not believed then than farming
operations here this year would war
rant keeping so many mules on the
JOB, but the recent little squirt in cot
ton values has, it seems, increased the
demand for mules, local dealers state.
At all events the first shipment made
to Americas arrived today and prices
are about fifty per cent. higher than
that which well acclimated mules
were sold here recently and shipped
abroad.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb 6.-Experi-

Dollar" can work probably will be
conducted in several Georgia towns,
following the success of that in enc
medium-sized city.
A merchant took new dollar bill,
pasted it inside a blank book and
wrote instruction on the first page to
each new possessor of the dollar to
make an entry each time the money
was spent, showing who got it and
what it bought. The originator OF
the idea bought couple Of neckties
with it, and the next day at noon he
got it again. 1t had been spent just
fifty-two times, had bought almost ev-
erything that could be thought of, and
had earned at least ten dollars in
profits according to estimates.

ASTUTE BUSINESS MEN
PROFIT BY THE WAR
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Men of business
with ready eye to changing condi-
tons have found that wartime offers
many new roads TO wealth, if the op-
portunity is seized quickly. Almost
every day since the war began some
alert British manufacturer or trader
has found openings in some new field.
The khaki boom, still at its height,
resulted in the sudden establishment
of huge factories in the heart OF Lon
don. Hundreds OF young women left
good places in the jam and pickle fac
tories nearby for the work CT making
uniforms. Tailors. pressers, who were
glad TO earn $40 a week In normal
times are able to take in three times
that sum at present
A prominent hardware manufacturer
in Birmingham put his factory into the
hands Of a manager at the beginning
Of the war and himself hurried to
nearby town and erected a plant for
the manufacture of emblems and but
tons. He has been making these nov
elites in wartime designs by the mil
lion at a handsome profit.
A photographer found a similar gold
mine by turning his entire plant over
to the printing of patriotic pictur post
cards. while struggling novelty
dealer has put his business on its feet
by the sale Of hundred thousand or
more sewing kits for soldiers.
Lesser successes have been achieved
by the men who have marketed such
minor articles for soldiers use as
boot-tag, pipe lighter, and patriotic
Itrooch. An American traveller at the
beginning of the war CHANGED to learn
that the supply of cheap buttons IN
England was precariously low, most of
the e. glish supply having been i'm
ported from Austria; he took immense
orders in behalf of an American firm
at prices presumably we'll above the
ordinary
The war has brought a moderate
degree of prosperity to makers and
dealers in foods. clothing, medical sup.
plies, war munitions, and an immense
number Of small articles required by
land or sea forces. Ship builders and
ship owners have scored heavily, and
the British farmer is getting UMPIRE
cedented prices for his products. Even
the dentists have had their share Of
war business, for it is necessary that
the man who is going to the front to
serve the King in water-filled trench
es, should have his teeth in sound
shape If he is to enjoy the excursion.

SOCIETIES RELIEVE
SUFFERING IN GERMAN EMPIRE

the encouragement they have given
to thrifty people to save in time of
peace, have found that in most cases
they have not had to break their rule
calling for ready money settlement for
purchases. Other cooperative organ
izations, such as cooperative building
societies, have experienced more
trouble in collecting the installments
toward paying off the cost of con-
struction of workmen's houses, but
this difficulty has generally been over
come by the aid of the cooperative
banks, which grant loans at small in
terest. The cooperative workshops
have found it difficult to obtain raw
materials, but those which have un-
dertaken military contracts have been
exceedingly prosperous.

displayed estimable and praiseworthy
military qualities. Their field artillery
consists of good guns and performs
excellent work and at their head
stands an army commander who
though he had won no decisive vic
tory has secured a name in the list of
most famous generals"
The Russians, the critic said, had
displayed an unexpected capacity TO
utilize the terrain and an accuracy in
artillery. THE fact that we found
none Of the $4,000 enemy wounded IN
LODI, they all having been removed in
good time and transported to War
saw and the further fact that immed-
lately after we compelled them to re-
treat they offered such a stubborn de-
tense are proofs that the Russian
command has learend mech from Gel
ebrated retreats of Kuropatkin in
