FIGHTING CHANCE
 NOT SO SERIOUS

The risk of a fighting man is not so great as generally supposed. Ac- cOrding to careful estimates of the casualties of the great war, only one man in fifteen is killed, and one out of five hundred loses a limb. About 95 per cent recover from wounds, as shown by reports from French and British hospitals. while about 90 per cent are able to return to the firing line.
 Figures taken when the casualties were greatest in proportion to mobil- ized strength and combined with ,ne highest percentage of deaths, show losses due to deaths from wounds and killed in action to be approximately eleven in every 1,00G of mobilized strength.
 According to figures presented by the French high commissioner in q letter to the secretary of war, the high water mark of casualties iii the French army was reached early in the war at the battles of Charleroi and the Marne. The casualties in that period Were 5.41 per cent of Sle mobiized strength, or 54l men in every 10000 with the colors.

 Those who attempt to tilt the lid at Camp Funston find that they have the government to deal with and that there is no red tape nor legal technicalities by which law violatOrs of this sort fre- quently evade punishment Further more. the government has made es. pecial precautions to keep the great camp morally clean, much more so than the ordinary city. The men there will be better protected from vice than they would be at their home city or town.
 Large forces of special agents of the government has been sent to Fort Riley and have located every possible source by which vice could gain ad- mission to the reservation. Also a special office has been established for the investigation of all suspected persons.

HOW TO EASE
 YOUR TAXES

This is a subject that interests every man. This war is costing sum of money so great that no man can realize what such an amount means We have to find eighteen and one-half billion dollars during the first year of the work. Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred Million Dol lars. Think of it! But perhaps you mad better not; it will only make your head go round, and you will not be any nearer to grasping the meaning of such an amount of mon- ey, when you have done thinking.
 To get down to something you can understand, it means that every man in this country has to give up nearly half of what he earns this year.
 The government is going to get this money, because it has to have it. Of course, it can tax your in come, tax everything you eat and drink, your land and your cattle, and raise the money this way. How ever, this would be too hard on you, so the government has decided to ask you to loan some of the money,
  he will pay you back, and pay you interest in the meantime. Uncle Sam's promise to pay is so good that his written promise in the form of bond can be handed around from man to man, almost like dol lar bill. You don't mind giving d silver dollar in exchange for bill, and you can feel just the same way about giving cheque i'll exchange for Government Bond
 NOW ,HERE IS THE POINT: JUST so MUCH AS THE GOVERN MENT WILL ALLOW YOU TO LOAN TO THEM, so MUCH LESS WILL THEY HAVE TO TAX. YOU.
 Looked. at fairly and squarely, is it not better to loan money. rather than have it taken from you? we are a-leVel-headed people, and when things are put up to us in a straightforward way by straight-for ward people, we are ready to fa-l in line ..-.
 You know the facts now straight 1 from the U. s. Government.
 You have money that you, do not need until next spring. Lend it tl Uncle Sam. If you must have il 1 back next year, borrow on youl bond, or sell it.
 | Your banker is good man te 1 talk to. You believe in him. Go ana ask his opinion. He will tell yot i that he has bought Liberty Bonds and he will advise you to do the same.

Distorted Facts.

John Murray, a member of the American Federation of Labor, and delegate to the recent State Federation of Labor Convention in Clifton, while in Globe recent ly made a statement for publica tion in a Phoenix newspaper as follows:
 While Sheriff Slaughter de cIares that he stopped an attack on Clifton by Mexican miners last Monday, the miners them selves assert that they did net appriach Clifton, but were pick eting the Detroit Copper Co. mines near AIoreali, because of the story spread by the operators that thousand -strikebreakers were brought in by trainload from the south. The miners state that all. of the seventy three strikers arrested <for al legged ri0tnng are on the black list of the companies, and that the. whole affair was a. plot to get rid of. the officers and Iead- CTS of the union before the ar rival of the commission. ''
 This will certainly be news to the Sheriff of Greenlee county and the operators of the district. For mass of distorted facts the above statement is on a par with the recent exaggerated state ments made by John l.. Don- nelly before the California Fed eration of Labor Convention. However,. in the meantime, these seventy rioters arrested by the Sheriff are in jail and the num- Der would have been more than three hundred if the remainder had not escaped.

SHE RIFF WHEELER ANSWERS HIS
 DEFAMERS

Purporting to represent the ac- ton of the Warren District Trades Assembly, E. T. Mccoy sends set of resolutions to Harry c. Wheeler that protests against his appointment as an officer in the U. s. army. The basis of these resolutions is the de- portations of the l. w. w. horde from BiSbee on the morning Of July 12. Notwithstanding the. fact that the United States government has moved their leaders in jail, Me Coy speaks for this outlawed order. AS to whether union labor is behind these resolutions is another matter. It is hard to believe that this is the case. -- -Fr
 Sheriff Wheeler's answer is one of the most dignified and patriotic and high minded statements that has been given to the public through the press for a long day.
