WHAT HAPPENS TO
THE SOLDIERS
Interesting Statistics Compiled
Bv Canadian Government

The Military Hospitals. Commits
sion of Quebec has kept an account
of how Canadian troops Jared in
the war, and has compiled some
interesting and assuring statistics
based upon its Investigations and
observations.
Addressing Canadian mothers
and fathers, the commission says:
If your boy goes to the front:
He has 20 chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
He has % chances of recovering
from a wound to two chances Of
dying.
He has only one chance in 500 Of
losing a limb.
He will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training.
He is freer from disease in the
army than in civil life.
He has better medical care at
the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to one from bull
let's.
In this war one man dies from
disease to every 10 from bullets.
This war is less wasteful of life
than any other in history.
Only 10 per cent. of all Canad-
ians disabled for further service
have been physically unable to en-
gage in their former occupations
If your boy is one Of the 10 per
cent. the government will re-edu.
cate him in another vocation al
which he can earn a living.
This doesn't mean that war is
danger-free occupation, and tha'
life in the trenches is as comfort
able as in the easy chair at home
but it does make it appear less
fearsome than it has been painted
over here, especially by pro-Ger
man Socialists, disloyal pacifist!
and German born traitors in Am
erica.

ample has influenced thousands of
private families so as to cause food
substitution and food conservation
to be the rule among the 100000
people in Delaware.
Il am proud of your attitude as
| am proud of all good traits in
Delawareans. | trust now that you
will all persist in your plans as it
may prevent your being burdened
with a plan of Government license
and Government supervision. If
here or there in your business it is
found that there is one among you
who is not playing fair feel con-
fident that Patriotism and Public
Sentiment in the Community will
cause him to mend his ways. 1t
would be a pity indeed if a few
selfish or thoughtless ones among
you should cause the faithful and
patriotic ones to have brought
upon them a necessity for a Gov
ernmental supervision by a Food
Administrator when appointed.
"My relations with you have
been pleasant and hope that your
future actions will be such as will
shown to the whole world that
need no incentive to
do their duty other than pure AM
erican Patriotism and a mainly
willingness to share to some extent
the burdens of our soldiers who
now are or soon will be at the
front.

Josiah Marvel, acting food di-

setting forth that unless those who

places of business as a patriotic
American should, that it may bring
upon them as we'll as the loyal bus
