MILLIONS WORK IN MINES
More Than Half Of the 6,oooooo Men
Employed Below Earth's Sur
face Dig Coal.

The magnitude of the mining indus
try may be grasped when one realizes
that more than 100000 men are en-.
gagged in the mines of the world. or
this number 3,S00,000 are employed In
the coal mines and 100000 In the
metal mines. In addition, millions
more are engaged in allied industries
dependent directly upon the mines for
coal and metal, according to the En-
glneerlng and Mining Journal.
Mining Is one of the hazardous In.
dustrles employing over 100000 men
in the United States, In which three
out of every 1000 men employed are
killed every year by reason Of some ac-
cident. While complete data relating
to non-fntal injuries are not available,
reports to the United States bureau OF
mines for all metal mines in the
United States show that about 200
men per thousand per year are In
jured sufficiently to cause a loss OF
time. A reduction of 30 per cent In
the number Of mine accidents would
mean saving OF 1900 lives in the
United States every year. in addition
to reducing the loss of time and suf'
ferlng resulting from more than 2OO,'
900 non-fatal injuries.

THE Y. M. c. A. IN WAR.

Every parent of an American soldier should give the
utmost and support to the work being done
by the Young Mems Christian Association among the SOL
der boys in this country and the battle fields of France
This organization is meeting human need that none but
it or a similar organization can fill.
General Sherman was pretty near the mark when he
gave his famous definition of war; Putting it at the mild
est it is hardand hardening to the finer sensbities of
those who engage in it. This no doubt necessary We
are told by army officers that before recruit is fit for the
trenches he must have mbbed desire to kill This also
probably necessary if they to stand before the foe
and give the best account Of themselves.
But it is precisely this hard side of the boys nature
that needs to be corrected not by eliminating the hard
ness but by rearing up alongside of it totally different
naturea nature wherein the better and finer things of
life accounted of worth This can be and is done with
out taking from the boys usefulness soldier In fact
the most important preachment of this organization is
consecrated patriotism But while viewing patriotism as
sacred duty and efficiency it's twin virtue, the organ
zaon would have the soldier regard the resort to force
necessity and not DESIRE deadly weapon to be
used effectively possible long the need exists
but to be laid aside when no longer required.
This together with the fact that the organization fos
