DEATH RATE IS LOWER
THAN OTHER GREAT WARS
CASUALTY LIST Is STEADILY DE-
cREASlNG so FAR AS THE
ALLIES ARE CONCERNED.
New York Times.)

For the widely current belief that
the casualties in this war are greater
than those of any previous conflict
there is only one basis-the vastly
larger number of men who are en-
gagged in it. That does make the
total death list sufficiently appalling,
but it does not prove that the soldier
now in arms has a smaller chance
than soldiers ever did before to sur
vive till peace returns. As matter
OF fact. the statistics are all the other
way, and, while it would be absurd to
deny that any participant in this war
may be killed or wounded, the ratio
of those who escape both fates is
probably larger than ever before.
Certainly 1t is larger than it was in
our civil war or in the Napoleonic
wars.
Allies Losses Less.
The comparative figures were re-
Gently given in full by M. Tardieu,
the French commissioner, and he was
able to demonstrate not only that the
armies of today lose fewer men in
proportion to their sizes than was for
merly the case, but that as regards
the forces fighting for the allies, their
losses are now less than at the begin
ming of the war and we are steadily
growing smaller. That is because the
offensive is now everywhere in the
hands of the powers .antagonistic to
the central empires, while the latter
are on the defensive, and it is the de-
Tense that suffers most from artillery
fire and the offense that is protected
by it.
Talk of towards.
All This is easily available informa-
ton, yet certain people are industri-
ously promulgating the assertion that
enrolment in our army Is practically
a commentator to death and that the
young American who sails for France
might as well take last farewell of
his friends and relatives, for he will
never see them, or them him, again.
The motives for this sort of talk are
chiefly two-the pro-German propa-
gandists do 1t in the hope of delaying
or minimizing additions to the num-
Der of Germans armed enemies, and
our own pacifists and conscientious
DIRECTORS do it order that their ar
guments may be echoed and support
ed by towards and slackers of all
kinds. One never hears from the
members of either class that in the
first six months of 1917 the French
lost in killed and wounded only 1.5
per cent of their force in the field, and
never word about the new SANTA
ton that protects the soldier almost
entirely from what formerly were
perils more to be dreaded than bullets
or shells.

DistiIery in Custer County Makes
Prune Brandy.
'(Boise Capital NeMs.l

Boise Capital News.)
A complete moonshine distillery was
discovered in Custer county by the
sheriff of Butte county. 1t was doing
a wholesale business in the manufac-
ture of intoxicating liquor known in
that part of thesstate as prune brandy.
The discovery was reported by tele-
graph to Governor Alexander.
The dlstillery was found on a ranch
not far from Mackay. The product
manufactured met ready sale to the
lawmakers and ranchers in that part
of the state, the sheriff reports He
took possession of the outfit and turn
ed it over to the sheriff of Custer
county, as 1t is within the boundaries
of that county
For some time an intoxicating bey-
erage has been used freely in the vi
entity of the distillery and the officials
have been baffled in their efforts to
locate its source. Every possible ruse
has been Nresorted to. The sheriff of
Butte county kept on the hunt and by
gathering bits of evidence was soon
in possession OF the facts as to where
the moonshine outfit was located
Then he raided the ranch and was re-
warded by discovering the moonshine
outfit.

The United States is by far the larg-

capacity, difficult feasibility and soiu-

make it one of the most generally
useful of all minerals in the arts and

is to prevent sore feet among the
