HAZARDS OF WAR
 GREATER IN 1862

It may be correct to consider the present war as the greatest one Of his tory when the number of men bearing arms and the principles involved are considered but tendency Is manifest to consider that the soldier who em- barks in it, either voluntarily or of necessity is sure to meet death. That this is erroneous is fairly evident to most men, just as it is evident that such talk may be either thoughtless or reasonable In any event. it may be the cause of much anguish of mind not so much to the soldiers as to their relatives. who may easily eNaSserate the dangers of the battlefield
 All of us know civil war veterans still hale and taking a lively interest in the present conflict, who in their day Weer subject to greater dangers than those likely to confront their grand children who are now in France or who will be there later. To be wounded in the struggle of 1861 -1S65 was a more serious matter than it is now. despite the German tendency to bomb hos pitals, for medicine and surgery were less efficient then and field hospitals were sadly lacking.
 It so happens that a fortnight ago the British government gave out fig ures which showed that it's losses on the western front. including those killed in action or who died of wounds, amounted to eleven in each thousand. Comparing these figures with the loss es in some of the actions in.the civil war, it can be seen that enlistment now is by no means suicidal
 By way of comparison it Is worth while to look at figures showing the losses in some of the battles of the civil war, and Antietam. which was fought fifty-five years ago. may he

GERMANS HATE, BUT
 RESPECT WILSON

Contrary to the general expectation in this country that the Berlin auth critics would repress President Will son $ great message or blue pencil il into a harmless scrap of paper, the message was printed in full. For sev- eral days after the declaration of war and the publication of the message. the Americans in Berlin were very nervous. Knowing well the temper of the popu- lace, we expected an outbreak. But there was no demonstration of any kind and in day or two we walked the streets without fear. It seemed as if the people had become so used to ~ultimatums and declarations that they took them as a matter of course
 As for the message as a whole it was resented as un impertin0ncc. Whatever comment it did arouse. it's critics could not say that the noble phrases of President Wilson were not received with respect. Bitterly as they have come to hate him. deep in their hearts the German people respect t.e President They know lin as a teach CT and a philosopher 1t one time the president of q great university, and as such receive his word with difference Time and tinia a2ain in lntelleCtu Il circles of Berlin we have heard the re- lative merits as leaders of Lloyd George and Mr Wilson discussed with the verdict always in favor of the presi- dent
 In his message President Wilson said that America had taken up the gage of battle with the natural foe of Hb- erty to fight for the ultimate peace of the world and for the hbera tion of the peoples. the German peoples included.' These phrases were the ones most resented in Berlin The

NEW YORK. Dec 13.-Families of all the officers enrolled in the United States reserve corps have been invited to see to it that as many of them as possible be made members of the So ciety of American officers before they are sent to serve with the American army in France These officers in clude the men who were trained in and received their commissions from such camps as those at Plattsburg, x. Y., and at other points.
 In a statement issued today by the Society of American Officers, the families of all the officers of the re serve corps are invited to send in ap- plications in behalf of their officers. giving their full names. addresses and that any officer who has been com missiOned by a state or the federal government is eligible for membership which he retains for life unless dis houorably discharged or convicted of a felony

 It is suggested by the society that the young officers should not be re- quired to add the cost of membership to that of their uniform and equipment. Yet" the statement adds, we doubt if there is a parent or a wife, or sister or 8 sweetheart in America who would not be glad to know that the young officer was watched over and guarded by such an organization and it's members and, if lost, that the little emblem was likely to come back to them with the brief word from some brother member in arms.

Livermore, in his Number and Losses in the Civil War" finds that the Union forces en- gagged numbered S7,164. this reckoning excluding Morelrs division, which took no part in the battle and that the num- Der killed was 2,10S or something like twenty four in each thousand.

CLASS|F F|CAT|ON
 TO BE STARTED
 IN SHORT TIME

After much preliminary work. the classification of all registered men un- der the new selective service regula- tions is to begin with the mailing on Saturday of this week the question aire to every man whose name is on the military service list and who al- ready has not been inducted into the national army.
 Physical examination of the men in Class ], the first class to be called to the ColOrs under the new regulations, is to be started as soon as that class is selected. According to a telegram received yesterday from Provost Mar shal Crowder. the local boards are urged tO include enough men, if possi- hle. i'm Class | to fill mp the quota of the state. 1T this is not possible, Class will be called upon.
 Following is the order in part:
 In accordance with Section ,. se- leCtive service regulations. registrants who on December , stand selected for service under the old regulations shall remain liable 10 be inducted into the service tO fill out deferred percentages of the current quota of any local board, and quotas of any future call, until it shall appear that there are in Class l SNlIiclenl or men 10 Illl SuCn quotas under such call or calls.
 "lt is desired as far as possible to fll all quotas after December 15 from Glass T. evolved under the new sys- tenn. but since the military necessity is paramount. quotas must he filled. and whether they are filled from Class | or not depends entirely upon the eN- petition with which the local boards place enough men in Class l. to fill their present and future quotas.
 The provost marshall general hereby directs that immediately upon the mail ing of the notice of final classification 10 registranLs who have been classi- fled in Class l. local boards shall send to all such registrants notices to ap- pear for physical examination. The boards shall proceed to the physical eX- aminstious without delay and. continue to examine all registrants as soon as they have finally been placed in Glass
 until all such registrants in Class have been physically examined or un- til the provost marshall general issues orders to the contrary.
 Local boards shall address them selves at once to the task of evolving at the earliest possible day d suffi- cently large number of physically qualified registrants in Class l to fiji

CANADA EXPORTS
 MUCH WHEAT AND
 FLOUR OVER LINE

Since April of this year wheat and wheat flour have been imported in greatly increased quantities from Can ada. This is attributed principally to the fact that on April 16 Canada removed the duty on wheat imported into that country. The Dominion's action automatically admitted Cana dian wheat free of duty into the United States under the provisions of the tariff law of 1913.
 Imports for September
 According to new statistics com piled by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. S40.9S1 bushels of wheat were imported from Canada in September. 1917. compared with g., 269.607 bushels for the whole nine months ended with September 19l6 For the nine months ended with Sep tember. 1917, we imported wheat frofa Canada to the extent of 21490. 289 bushels, more than 14,000 000 bushels of which came in free after April Is. The imports of wheat flour during these nine months totaled 403.270 barrels, of which 297, 695 barrels came in free of duty For the correspond ing nine months in 1916 the total inn ports were 157,2S9 barrels and in 1915 only 9O499 barrels.
 Received Through All Districts
 This Canadian wheat and flour is being received through every custom district on the northern border from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Buffalo led in September with 2S5.119 bushels of wheat and 1.596 barrels of flour. followed by Duluth and Superior with 223, SS3 bushels of wheat and 15.76I barrels of flour; Michigan. with 1SS.
