Ambiguity Corrected

In publishing an account of salaries fixed by the town council, the News last week made a statement that was somewhat ambiguous. At least it was susceptible of two different constructions and it was given different meaning by some of our readers to that intended by the writer.
 The item referred to was that stating that "the mar shals salary from the time of his appointment until his successor is elected was fixed at $125." It should have been added further that this amount was for the whole period starting with the time of the marshal's ap- pointment, March 15, and ending when the marshal's successor is elected, which will be the fourth Tuesday in May. This is at the rate of $50 per month, as the period covered is approximately two and one-half months.
 The amount allowed the clerk by the council was S125, this being for the two and one-half months period, and not $125 per month as some of the readers of the 1 News insist on stating.

Bond Election Next Tuesday
 The special election called for the purpose of voting on the question of issuing $780, 900 in bonds for road impro- vement purposes will be held next Tuesday. Every quail fled elector in the county who has paid a property tax (real or personaD is entitled to vote at this election.
 The News favors the bonds for same reasons it favored incorporating the town of Holbrook. Goodroads bene- fit the entire population of the county; they shorten dis tances and thereby bring all sections of the county closer together. They also add greatly to the pleasure of living in the community.
 Incorporation of a town is the first step it must take towards an improvement in it's physical condition. Bet ter streets and walks, and more healthy conditions will naturally follow incorpora- tion. The residents of Hol- brook need incorporation in order that they may secure more sanitary and more pleasant living conditions.
 The people of Holbrook will also benefit by the con- struction of better roads in the county, and the people of all sections will be bene- fitted as well. For these reasons we believe that the taxpayers in the county will act wisely by voting for the bonds next Tuesday.

Bond Buyers ActiUe

The clerk of the board of supervisors has within the last two weeks received numerous inquiries about the proposed issue of $16O, : 900 in road improvement bonds. Several of the buy CTS of bonds have expressed their willingness to purchase the bonds immediately, sub- ject to the result of the cleo ion next Tuesday.
 The bonds when sold must bring par or better, and this is known by the would-be buyers. The fact that bond buyers are anxious to pur- chase these road bonds, even before they are voted, is evi- dence that there will be no difficulty in disposing of them at a good price if voted.

DIFFERENCE IN COMPILATIONS

The difference in the compilations
of people is due to the varying
amounts OF pigment or cololing ma
terials in the cells Of the skin. Very
light people have very little pigment;
very dark people, those with dark
eyes and black hair. have great
their cells. A great many people
are neither light nor very dark. They
have less than the dark complexion
ed people and more than the light
somplexioned people. When the hair
turns gray it is because the pigment
has disappeared. As this is due to
the loss of this soloring material,
dark somplexioned people turn gray
sooner than light somplsxioned peo-
pie. The structure Of the skin show
ing how these cells are made in lay
ers can be seen by examining the
skin with a microscope.

Figures Show a Decrease
In Battle Losses Today.

These figures taken wnen the cas-
ualties were greatest in proportion
to mobilized strength and continued
with the highest proportion of deaths
show losses due to deaths from
wounds and killed in action to be APP
proXimately eleven in every one
thousand of modified strength. Ac-
cording to the figures presented by
the French high commissioner in his
letter to the Secretary of War, the
high water mark Of casualties in the
French army was reached early in
the war-at the battle Of Charleroi
and and the Marine. The casualties
in that period were 5.4t per cent Of
the modified strength, or 511 men in
every 10000 with the coiors. Mill
tary experts in this country agree
that the killed in action and died of
wounds have never at any time in
this war exceeded 20 per cent. Of the
total casualties. This gives figure
of 1882 fatalities from these causes
in every 10000 modified strength;
or practically eleven men killed in
action or died of wounds for every
1000 with the colors, a ratio of IL
per cent.
To say, as we used to say, of cross
ing the Atlantic, that fighting in
France as now conducted is safer
than crossing Broadway, would seem
absurd; and yet the concrete fact is
that if the percentage Of American
fatalities, in an army of half mill
ion, in 1918, should not exceed that
of the French last year, more Amer
leans will perish from intentional and
accidental use Of firearms in the
United States than in Europe. Nor
is there APPARENT reason to doubt that
this will be the case. The heavy sac
rifces of the bewildered French and
the unframed British in the first
year of the war and of the German
boys cynically used for cannon fod-
der" throughout, conformably to sys-
TEN, signify nothing. American
fighting is to be done on the "precise
and scientific" lines wisely decreed by
the President in preference to the hap
py-go-lucky methods OF Rough Rid
ers: our men have no superiors in
intelligence or in iniative, and will be
trained to nicely before being sent
into action; and if there live more ca
pable officers than the professional
soldiers graduated from West Point,
the fact is vet to be demonstrated.
We would not think o. minimizing
the dangers which confront the young
Americans who go to fight their
countries battles. war is war and the
Huns are Huns; but we do insist, up
on the records. that the too common
assumption that they are going to
Certain death" or to certain any
thing except honor for themselves
ard slorv for their country is as
in fact az it surely is
harmful in PRONUNCIATION and alto
sether foolish.

George Harvey, in the North
American Review, makes some asser-
lions as to losses in battle today
which show that battle now do not
mean Certain death by any means.
He says:
As a consequence Of ignorance Of
the facts and increasing mouthings
Of traitors and pacifsts, trench
fighting" has come to be regarded as
virtually synonymous with "slaugh-
ter" and the impression has been
strengthened materially by personal
tales Of minor engagements made
vivid by ghastly pictures. The truth
is that the death toll cNactcd by
modern warfare is immeasurably
smaller than ever before in history
and has decreased steadily since the
fighting began.
Innumerablc comparisons might be
cited from the DAYS Of Alexander in
substantiation Of this assertion, but
a few will suffice. In the charge Of
the Light Brigade 113 were killed
and 1874 wounded out of 673, or 1867
per cent. In our Civil War the Ninth
Illinois lost at Shiloh 63.3 per cent,
the First Minnesota at Gettysburg
So per cent. and the SiXty-ninth,
New York, 1000 out of 1000 in TWEEN
ty minutes. Even the Prussians sac
rifced of the Third Westphalian
Regiment at Mars Ia Tour, in 1871,
,484 mon out Of 5000 or 49,i per
cent.
Similar losses were experienced,
especially by the inefficiency officer
ed British, in the early engagements
Of the present WAY, hut in open fight
ing, not in trenches. Later, too, az
we noted last month, the splendid
Canadians left COO out Of 800 on the
field, in consequence Of an unrescind-
ed order. BY way OF contrast VIC are
indebted to Sir Charles Ross for a
statement of the casualties at the
recent battle of Mcssines as follows:
Total number Of men engaged,
100000.
Total casualties less than . per
cent.
Total fatalities less than one in
seven Of total casualties.
Reported from the Same authori-
tative source OF another recent bat
tie:
Engaged: First line, 100000: sec
end line, 100000. Casualties: Walk
ing, 5000; stretcher, 1900; killed and
wholly disabled, 1.400.
These, Of course were single en-
sarcments and can he regarded only
as illustrative. But take the percent
age of casualties in the entire French
army in proportion TO modified
strength, with this result:
