Old Kaiser Bill is bad enough;

so arrogant and vain, with ego.
tism so insane his head outgrows
his hat. 1t must be tough to
have a King who always says a

quest, who was, before he took
the lance and started trespassing
in France, the universaljest. But
Kaiser Bill, with all his sins,' his
withered arm and shriveled shins,
has points one may admire; his
heart is not entirely stone, and
people say they've heard him
groan DER all this blood and fire.
The load he carries Is SO great
he'll sink beneath it soon or late,
and he will cash his string; then,
if the Hohenzollern line be not
uprooted, stalk and vine, the
Kron Prinz will be King. The

renewed vigor, and novelty.
The premium list is q startling

In their stead the offerings are

Special Inducements are given the

particular encouragement is Civ.

A high standard is pledged, and
the exclusion OF all fakirs. Re.
ligious services, and prayer meet
ings, will be features of this fair,
as they were in the first one, and

Not So Much Danger.

MI ~ MICH ulnSsI.
War danger and war mortality
among the men who will go to
Europe in the, e,,American conscrip.
ted army will not be unduly hea-
Wy, in the opinion of Babson's
Statistical organization, which
has issued a statement on the
subject, based upon the most &C.
curate information obtainable as
to mortality ratios since the war
began. The men now being draft
ed, says this statistical authori-
ty, stand only one chance to
four of seeing actual fighting,
and even il they take part in
hard fighting, statistics are in
their favor and conditions are
improving.
1t is brought out that accord
ing to the most reliable statis-
tics, which are difficultto obtain,
about GO men per 900 are le-
ing killed in the war and about
$50 men per 1000 are being
wounded. Most OF the wounded
later return to the iron t. The
normal death rate in peace times
OF men within the age limits OF
the soldiers now fighting is only
eight per 1000, but that is a
yearly rate, while the figure OF
go per 1000 covers the period OF
enlistment and in some cases is
for a period of three years.
The loss of life from disease,
which has been one OF the deadly
life-takers of other wars, is de-
clared to be in large measure
eliminated.
The mortality is said to be less
today than it was at the start
OF the war. Gas attacks are be.
ing we'll handled and with rea.
sonable precautions men are not
in lvery great danger from that
form OF attack. They are expos
ed to the most danger when q
charge is made.
At other times wounds art
mostly in the shoulders or arms
and easily treated. Skull wounds
are rather frequent, however,
and are naturally serious. But
the amputation of limbs is lest
than in previous conflicts
| Different branches of the ser
vice show different degrees o.
mortality. In the heavy artillery
the danger is said to be abou'
equal to the danger OF railroad
ing in civil life, lLe mortality a
mong certain classes of officers
: including lieutenants, sergeant
and cOrpOrals, is found to hav
been greater than among pri

When Germany started h i $
confagration, her war lords cal
culated that the armies she hurl-
ed across Belgium would occupy
Paris within six weeks. That was
three years and more ago, and
the German armies are not now
as near Paris as they were when
stopped by JOffrs at the Marne.
When the offensive was launch
ed at Verdon, the war lords cal
culated that the armies under the
Crown Prince would break thru
the French lines at that point in
two months. Some OF the Ger
man newspapers printed in A.
merlca contended, thatafter two
months had expired, the Ger
man Government had given it.
self four months to 60 thru at
Verdon; that it had figured to
the day the time that would be
necessary and had estimated to
the pound the amount OF ammu-
milton that would be required to
achieve this great victory; and
that with such ingenuity and ef-
ficiency, failure was impossible.
That was a year and a half ago,
and the French stand at Verdon
like a stone wall. Hundreds of
thousands OF lives have been sac
rifced and hundreds of millions
of money have been expends in a
futile effort to make a popular
military hero Of a prussian
princeling.
When Germany inaugurated
her ruthless submarine warfare
on February l, the warlords cal
culated that it would starve En-.
gland and France into submis.
sion in ninety days. That was
more than six months ago, but
England and France are notnow
as hungry as Germany. England
has announced that her food
supply for a year ahead is assur
ed, aud France is in asgood con-
ditlon. What these TWO Allies can
not produce for themselves, the
United States will produce TO
them, and it will get enough oft
to them to keep the wolf from
the door.

The percentage of exemptions
allowed for physical disability by
the various local boards in the
State is causing, and rightly so,
considerable comment and ques-
tioning.
It is inconceivable that in a
State that has a population so
uniform iu general characteris-
tics with practically the same oc-
cupations prevailing throughout
all sections, that detectives
should exist in such strikingpro'
portionsin one county while the
opposite situation should pre-
vail in the adjoining county.
The physicians engaged in the
examinations have been chosen,
it is presumed, because OF t h Q
fltnecss for the work. OF course,
in the speed with which examina-
tions are conducted, errors will
creep in, but the re.examination
system for the disqualified ought
to take care Of the largest per-
centage Of these. 1t may be said
that the physicians are capable
and are making the examina-
tions satisfactory. The disquali-
fications,s it would seem, are al.
lowed on the basis OF regulations
which are furnishing by the Pro.
vost Marshal General. These are
uniform and the same for all ex.
amining physicians. The inter.
probation of them, however; is
left to tho physicians and here is
the biggest opportunity for dis
crepancies to creepin.
Every physician who is engag-
ed in the medical examination oI
registrants ought to feel that this
is, peculiarly, a patriotic duty tc
see that all men who should bt
accepted, are accepted and al
who should be disqualified art
disqualified.
The Provost Marshal Genera
has caused to be prepared strict
requirements. These have beer
furnished exemption boards ant
from time to time notification
of amendments have been issued
The strict letter of those physica
requirements should be adhered
to in every case, unless waivers
are secured from the War De
partment. If this is so, if the med
ical examiners, to their utmost
hew to the line, it is not believed
that one county will escape will
ten per cent disqualification
while another has against it
record OF fifty.
There are many reasons TO
this, but the largest is Justice

justice to the registrant. Ever.
time q man is acccepte W h

ernment's expense. Every time
