Chances of War

few days ago The Republican in an article show ed from French reports essening mortality in the war That is subject of vital interest to hun dreds of thousands of Americans of more acute in- terest to the fathers mothers wives. and sisters of the boys who will shortly be in France.
 The following article by MT. Roger w Babson of the Babson Statistical Organization whom we have previously quoted regarding conditions will be . Of great interest and comfort to many of our readers:
 Clients whose sons and friends have been called under the recent draft should considerable com fort from study of the mortality statistics the armies in Europe Of course it is very difffut to reliable figures. but understand that about sixty men per thousand being killed, and about 150 men out of each thousand wounded, although most of these wounded return again to the trenches This percentage~of casualties is not high. Of it cannot be compared with the normal death rate in peace times. which is about eight per thousand for the of the at the front. The great loss of previous wars has been from disease This has been very largely eliminated Some claim that a at the front today is less liable to disease than if at home working in a city.
 The mortality is very much less today than 1t was

Already we have applied the selective draft to men; now what is the next step? It is that we must apply the seective draft to industry, or the war cannot proceed" says Professor J. Russell Smith, who in the September Century will sound warning to Americans in his prophetic article Food or Fam ine? "The old volunteer system is gone from the army, going from industry. We are one people This is war of grain and steel The food question is already acute and is forcing into far reaching changes. What must dO?" Pro- lessor Smith, who, it is said, will answer these ques- tons, is wefitted for the task of nstructing Amer cans in the economic necessities of the day. He is professor of industry in the Wharton School of Ff- nance and Commerce. and has investigated agricu- tural conditions in Northern Africa and Southern Europe.
 The glib gabble of the unintate about the "neces sary exaggeration" of moving picture acting makes those experienced in the movie game laugh, accord ing to Virginia Tracy whose article on Acting for the Camera, or the Experiences of Woman in the Motion-Picture Studios" will appear in the Septem- Der Century. Miss Tracy it is said, reminds her readers that what the theater dminishes the enlarges. The actor must not think too violently, Every motion taken strips of celluloid inch long, is magnified several thousand times before is thrown the In consequence any but the slightest quiver of the lids twtch of the brows will loom like a thunderstorm So much as ones action must b slowed down before the camera, must it be lightly touched in
 France is traditional about in many ways. so singularly almost startngly lacking in called feminist agitations that it quaint to find there an entire acquiescence in principle which is making slow headway in America. But Dorothy Garfield Fisher, it is stated will show in the September Century how in respects the United States is far behind her sister republic in recognizing the two primary rights of women. In some Observations French Education" she de- cares that "The French people a whole, have all recognized what is after a the first and most important right of woman the right to york; and being endowed with a keen of the realities and exigences of human nature, it has occurred to them to make work privilege be purchased only by celibacy and childlessnesss Half of the French women teachers of my acquaintances are married and mothers, often of grown-up children. My little daughters teacher is fifty eight years old and has son of twenty She brings into the classroom sort of grandmotherly element of pa tience and wide experience with children which is most edfying spectacle to an American mother accustomed to almost all teachers young unmar- ried women not very long out of their child hood"

AS DONE IN ALABAMA
fErcm Mobile Recisterl

Not always the pest jokes are pro- duced by the professional funny men. Here is true story which we take from our news columns, just as it stands, for it needs no embelishment:
 ''Dr. E. D. Bondurant of Mobile, for many years dean of the medical de- partment of the University of Ala bama, and widely known in the med ical profession in the state arrived in Montgomery Tuesday and became a major in the service corps. He will be assigned to advice duty at once.
 Major Bondurant came before a medical examining board which was charged with the duty of determining his qualifications. It happened that q member of the board had studied medicine under Major Bondurant.
 The first question in the eXamina- tion was: Major, how are you"
 Major Bondurant answered: Very we'll
 The second was: How is Mobile?
 He answered: All right
 Then Major Bondurant questioned:

at the beginning of the war. The gas and other hideous forms of attack being well handled at the present time. Men who sensible and careful can well protect themselves against these things Experience both in the protection of the soldier and the care of the wounded, is constantly reducing the death rate the war progresses. With the excep- tion of wounds obtained during charges, which o1 are very dangerous, most wounds are In the arm and shoulder, which can be easily healed, or m the skull The skull wounds naturally serious Amputation of limbs is very much less than in pre- vious
 The mortality varies considerably with the differ ent branches of service A man who is connected with the heavy field artillery is more likely to De killed than if in the employ of railroads but fellows engaged in certain other branches are Tn much danger It is also said that the mortal ity among certain classes of officers. such as eu- tenants sergeants and corporals is proportlonaily very much greater than among privates It Is very interesting how much greater the mortality among volunteer corps than among drafted men, If the Roosevelt volunteers had gone to the front the mortality among such body would doubtless have been very high.
 We believe that the drafted who goes as an ordinary soldier, taking his judgment with him and leaving his enthusiasm at home is not only most effective but is fairly to return in better phy- sical condition than when he left. Of course during the days month that it is his turn to change he is subject to great danger but the rest of the time, with reasonable precautions he is sta tisticaly, almost well off in the streets of New York. Most of the drafted men may see France which, by the way, will be beneficial to many or them Since, however the aeropane appropriation has passed, there is good chance that put IeW ol them will be engaged in serious fighting
 We believe that the will continue until we have several hundred thousand troops and 10000 or aeropanes in France, which should be some time next spring summer. We, however, feel that by the time these men and aeropanes are over there ready to do something worth while, Germany VIII have come to her senses. We reason Tor Germany stop until actually in Europe with selfsupporting bases, prepared to strike hard; but every why Germany should be anxious to settle with us at that time, before we do strike Our regular army, and perhaps the militia, may get into action at any time, but the chances four to that the who now being drafted will very little actual fighting in Europe Even if they required to do hard fighting sta7 tstics very much in their favor, and conditions improving

acknowledgement of their kindness.
Mr.. Carter, who labored for so
many years in all departments of

tell people what to do and how to
do 1t, except as a medium of trans

to tell what is worth knowing of

o'clock. About dozen were nomin.-
ated. After about 6 ballots there ap-
peared to be deadlock. This contin-
ued until the 10th ballot, when the
gentleman who was leading with
drew, and asked those who had been
voting for him to vote for the new
man who had been recently brought
forward, so that it might be unani-
nous. The result was the on the
next (the 17th) ballot, the Rev. Ro-
bert Saunders COPELAND, D. D., of
Trinity Church, New Orleans, was
elected, and it was made unanimous.
Dr. Coupland was born in Will

mer, who withdrew in his favor, was
also born. DR.. COPELAND is about
forty six years Of age, he has not
yet given decision But it could
hardly be expected so soon. Such a
great and responsible work requires
careful consideration from all
sides.
