General Maurice pointed out that
the German inability to exploit the
Italian disaster could be regarded as
significant Of Austro-German weak

THE results which the Germans at

propaganda among the ignorant soldi-

This success far exceeded any German
expectations. But. having gained this

Germans would do all possible to ex-

Landlord System of England Must
 Go Prelate Says

Leeds, England, July. 23-The Most Reverend Cosmo Gordon Lang, Arch bishop of York. is one of the most democratic Bishops in England, and during the course of speech at the Leeds Chamber of Commerce said he could not imagine the old system of private property in industry surviving long. Industrial changes after the war, he thought, would be far reach ing and 1t was inconsistent with the development of that democratic spirit which the war had helped to faster that the old system should continue. l,
 Cooperation between capital, man agement and labor would be neces- sary, capital must be prepared to re- ceive less and labor must be assured of it's just reward. The most helpful method of securing this cooperation was to establish boards representative of capital and labor and success de- pended primarily on a new spirit in which each sid would really try to appreciate the position and to sym pathize with the problems of the other.

Soldiers Hazard Was
 Greater in Civil War

While modern war seems to have inrreased the hazard to human life and induced long lists of casualties, tho fact that millions of men are con cerned in the fighting lowers the per centage of losses. With 100000 soI- diers at the front in France, Great Britain lost on one month of bomb ing and trench warfare 114,000 men in killed and wounded or less than 6 per cent.
 In the Civil war losses reached a much greater percentage. At the pat tie of Antietam 23.o00 Union and Con- federate soldiers were killed or wounded in twelve hours of fightin, representing about 20 per cent. of the forces enga ged. The hazard of the Civil war soldier was thus nearly four times greater than that of the British soldiers in France.
 Trench warfare is responsible for the greatly lessened percentage of European losses. If the armies of Europe had followed the open war fare of the early days of the war the opposing forces would long ago have been annihi1ated. The original army sent by England to France at the be- ginning of the struggle was practically destroyed in the first six months of fighting.
 Modern weapons and modern meth ods have. greatly increased the capacs ity for destruction, but trench warfare and improved defense systems have ninimized the risks, says the Seattle Post Intelligencer." The soldier of to- day has much less chance of being killed than the soldier of the Civil war.

MARRIAGE BY PROXY

Marrying by proxy is nothing new,
 although it is by no means frequent
 in America. Tn France, before the
 war, such a thing was almost nn-
 known, and only now, in the great
 extremity. is marriage by proxy com
 ing into vogue. Not that it is popu-
 lar, but it is necessity, for very of
 ten the happy bridegroom cannot
 be spared from the trenches long enough to permit him to attend his own wedding. Not alone this, but the
 French War Minister has arranged that prisoners of war may be marie d in this fashion. But don't think for a moment that marrying by proxy is 6 simple thing in France. The most scrupulous vigilance is exercised by l the authorities over the papers and ; documents that enter into the accom-.
