Those Who Come Back.

With the coming Of mobilization,
many families are unnecessarily distress

Star had occasion few weeks ago to
recite the actual mortal figures on the
western front. They are not nearly so
bad as most persons suppose.
There are cities in the United States
where half as many persons per thous-
and Of population die each year as are
killed in the fighting in Europe, There
Is one large Southern city where the
death rate is two thirds that on the bat
tie field.
These comparisons are not fair, since
the population in city includes babies
and old persons, while fighting men are

they indicate that the mortality is moth

Miles NJ. Dawson, leading actuary,
reports in the Economist World, that
the Prudential Company Of London has
encountered death rate OF 80 to the
100000 soldiers insured. The
French rate is about the same. The
normal death rate among men Of drai,
age in the United States is s to the /,
900 each year. Instead Of one man in
100 dying, the rate Of the army when
actively engaged should prove between
three aud four in 100.

German ambassador and said to him:
This Venezuela business has gone
on long enough, and I cannot afford
to let it get to the point where it will
cause trouble for this county"
AT that time England was backing
Germany and, while I had both against
me, I paid little attention to England,
but kept my eye on Germany. 1t was
the last flicker of England'S antagonism
10 the United States.
II called the attention OF the am.

a squadron OF warships near Venezue

Isthmiau canal. I demanded state
