Joining the Army Far from
Certain Death

Due to the heavy casualty re-
ports from some of the great bat
ties on the Western front, the i'm
preston prevails among many,
especially parents of the new
army lads, that joining the army
of the nations means practically
certain death.
No one would minimize the
dangers of war. especially in this
day of horrible efficiency of death
dealing machinery. There have
been millions of casualties. but
often, in dealing with casualties.
we forget that more men have
been engaged in the present war
it has been stated, than all preyi-
Gus wars combined.
The committee on public infor-
nation has figured out the exact
ratio of fatalities (not casualties,
which includes killed, wounded
and missing) to the total mobil-
lied army strength of the countries
at war.
Eleven men in every thousand
of mobolized strength of all the
countries have been killed during
the first three years of the war.
The number killed in action and
dying of wounds has never been
more than 20 per cent of the total
casualties.
| One obtains the impression o.
great slaughter of men from ths
reports of battles like the Marns
and Charleni, which deal with ths
ratio of casualties in the numbei
of men actually engaged In tha
battle at the front.

From the Lone Star State.

Dear old Vidette and its Readers !:
AS we have never seen letter
from this part, we viii doour best
to write you one.
We have only been here nine
months and like it fine. We
have made a lot of new friends.
although they are not.as near and
dear to us as our doar old Tisho-
ningo friends. We noticed in the
Vidette where several of our old
friends were answering to their
country's call. 1t makes us feel
so sad for our friends to have TO
go, but we hope they will all re-
turn home heroes.
Well, the big meeting season is
about over and it seems as though
they have had good meetings ev-
erywhere.
We will tell you little about
our country. 1t is a mountainous
country, with large valley farms.
The farmers raise cotton for their
money crop and milo, maize and
oats for feed. We have good
schools and churches. We are
sorry to say we don't have all-day
singing out here, but we have an
Old Harp singing in the afternoon
at the Primitive Baptist church,
once month. We are expecting
some singers from Temple next
Sunday. Trust we will have a
good singing.
Why don't you Tishomingo and
Paden people ever write to the
Vidette? We would be glad to
see letter from both places every
week, as we used 10 live near
both places, 80, come on, some
of sou good writer's, and tell all of
the news.
Our father takes the Vidette and
we arc always glad to get it, for
it seems like a letter from home,
sweet home.
If this escapes the waste basket,
we will come again.
