service, the officials OF the census
bureau consider that the increase in
population between 1910 and the Sum
mer Of 1916 has about compensated
for these.
Through a deduction Of 2h per
cent for morbidity the total Of 81
071,O76 becomes 2O,544.300. and,
through a deduction OF about 12h
per cent for physical defects, there
is a further reduction to 18,007,0S0.
1.-THE census tables showing the
number OF men in various occupa-
tions-farmers. factory workers. min.
ers, physicians, lawyers, railroad en-
ployes, clerks, public officials, and
so on-have been carefully examined.
and the effort has been made to
reach an approximate estimate Of the
number that could be spared for MILL
tary duty in a serious emergency.
This leads to the estimate that IT,
100000 out of the 30.091,564 employed,
or SIS per cent, could be brought
into service II needed. And this per-
centage applied to the 1907 900 ply
sically fit between eighteen and for
ty-five years old gives 1O.535.94O.
"Still unconsidered. however, is
marital condition, or dependency.
Though unmarried men have. Deepen
dents there are married men who are
in such circumstances that they: can
do military service without imposing
hardship upon their families. How
nearly the latter come to offsetting
the former cannot be stated, even APP
proximately. In this calculation all
the singled, widowed and divorced
men are assumed to be available and
all the married men unavailable.
"Of the 21,071 .076 men from eigh-
teen to forty-five years old. 1875 per
cent are single, widowed or divorced
(43.35 per cent being single). II this
percentage be applied to the 10,535,940
the figure arrived at after deduc-
lions for sickness, physical defects
and industrial necessities-the num-
Der available for service becomes
4,77S,050. or 22.7 per cent OF the en-
tire number Of males from eighteen
TO forty-five. This Is about one, out
of five"

477s, ESQ UNMARRIED
MEN FIT FOR ARMY

An army Of 4,77s,050 unmarried
Americans between eighteen and forty
five years old fit for military service
is available, asserts the Investigating
staff of the executive committee OF
Mayor Mitchel's committee on national
defense.
A still greater number might be
put under arms in a serious emer-
gency, according TO the committees
report, by the recruiting of older men,
by the lowering Of physical standards
and by the employment Of women in
occupations now open only TO men.
The morbidity, or sickness, rate in
dictated by researches Of the Public
Health Service and various insurance
companies las well as the records Of
physical examinations at various re-
cruiting stations, were considered by
the investigators. A more reliable
method, in the opinion of the COM
mittee, is to base the figures upon
actual experience OF other countries
walls. Using this method the COM
mittee has calculated that out of
100000 men reaching military age each
year. 100000 are fit for military ser
vice, according to the French standard,
and $4,000, according to the German
standard.
According to the figures presented
In the report more than nine-tenths
Of the force OF 100000 trained troops
which the war office division OF the
general staff thinks should be avail
able at the outbreak of a. war could
be made up from men of nineteen and
twenty years. II the French standard
were applied, and men of nineteen,
twenty and twenty-one years, accord
ing to the German standard.
Because Of her smaller population,
and of the desire to keep her force
as nearly equal to Germany's as pos
sible," the report says. France, be-
fore the war. did not enforce such
strict physical standards as her
neighbor.
I'm France the military class OF
1910 consisted OF 3O1, 467 young men.
After examination they were divided
as follows:
Fit for active service. -. .231, 7O3
LESS fit, assigned to aux
Hilary service ........... 1903
S-Unfit, exempted from all
service NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 24,O52
4-Final assignment post
pOneu ................... 34,409
IF this ratio-76.7 per cent-be ap-
piled in the United States there are
$50 young men fit for service who
reach military age every year.
I'm Germany In 1910 the young men
coming of military age numbered
55S,5s7, but only 81 per cent, or 1885,
455, were put In the flt-for.active-
service classification. On this basis
$4,000 Of the United States 100000
would constitute available military
material.
THE task OF estimating the total
resources Of the nation in men avail
able for military service between the
ages Of eighteen and forty.five, in
elusive, is more complex. For, into
this calculation, there enter many
uncertain factors. In addition to tn,
morbidity rate and the physical re
lection rate there Is to be considered
the dependency Of families and tn,
need OF men of mature years in tn,
business and industry OF the country
''In 1910 the males from eighteen
to forty-five years old in the Unite,
States numbered 21,O71.O76. Although
approximately 100000 were aliens

erroneous. The lower row, in which

GERMANS CONTROL cEMETERY.

Rome.-War has drawn attention
to the fact that the great Protestant
cemetery in Rome, where are buried
many distinguished foreigners includ-
ing the poets, Keats and Shelley, IS
the property Of the German govern
ment. and the rentals for plots there
in are still paid to German agents.
More than a century ago Prussia
was the only non-Roman Catholic
power represented at the Vatican.
Therefore, it was Prussia which OBJ
tanned the concession for a cemetery
to be used for the bodies of those not
OF the Roman faith. and the prop
erty still remains in the hands OF
the German government.
Prominent foreigners here are now
urging that the Italian government
should take over the cemetery and
place it under British protection.

Seven Years Task Completed and
Book Viii Soon be Sent to Press.
Tokio.-Great interest has been
created here by the announcement
that the new Japanese translation
of the Bible. which has beens in
progress for seven years at the
hands of a committee Of eight learn
ed Christian scholars representing
-four sects of protestant Christian
ity, has been almost finished. ana
that it will shortly be sent TO press.
The translation work, undertaken
by the American Bible society, was
started by a specially formed COM
mittee in May, 1910, and finished In
February last. Since then the trans
lation has been undergoing COM
parison with the existing one.
The new translation is said to be
written in more colloquial japanese
than the existing version.
