coast. From the river Meander to the
Gulf of Alexandretta, the southern
shore of the coast of Asia Minor he
would give to Italy. Russia has al

corner of Turkey IN Asia, and he would
give it the south shore Of the Black

Van and Mount Ararat, and including
the cities of Van, Erzeroum, Kharput,

might be given to her, with the prob

DISSECTING TURKEY.

There is a general conviction outside
OF the Central Powers that this war
would come to a lame and impotent
conclusion if it left the Turks in con-
troll of an inch of Europe. But the
Rev Charles T. Riggs, who has lived
long in Constantinople, but is there
no longer, writes to the New York
Times that Asia is as much entitled
to be relieved of Turkish rule as
Europe is. The Greeks are as numer-
Gus as the Armenians and Syrians put
together, and have suffered from de-
pCrtatinos and prescription and con-
fscation, and are entitled to deliver
ance. Turks themselves, not connect
ed with the government in any way,
look enviously at the regions once
Turkish, but now enjoying a much
better administration of their own.
Therefore, he would systematically
dismember the Turkish empire. The
proposal to administer Constantinople
by an international commission, and
with the city the Bosphorus and Oar
danelles, and the European territory
up to the Enos-Midia line, and Asiatic
territory including the cities of Brous-
sa and Nicomedia, has been strongly
urged by writer in an English review
and Mr., Riggs approves thoroughly of
this. Russia would secure free out
let for its commerce without assum-
ing the sovereignty of Constantinople,
and all Notifications of the straits
would, of course, be razed
Thrace, down to the Enos-NIidia line,
which Bulgaria won from Turkey five
years ago, Mr.. Riggs would restore to
Bulgaria. This includes Adrianople,
which the Turks surrendered and then

ing the proportionate number of men
engaged. there would be more dead
men than living ones over there.
It is an easy matter for some alarm
list to dampen the spirits of credulous
people by declaring that the average
life of a soldier in this or that branch
of the service is only so many weeks,
or days-possibly hours!-but there's
nothing to it in the light of fact.
Roger W. Babson, a world-renowned
statistician, has pust concluded a
studied investigation of the mortality
rate in the zones of the war, and finds
that approximately 60 men per 1000
engaged are 3elng killed, and about
$50 per ] 900 wounded. Of the latter,
most of them return to the front in
time, because medical science has adj
vanced to such an extent that proper
tionateIy few men die after being
found wounded on the field. In the
old days a severe wound meant all
most certain death or disablement; it
is not so today. Also in this war the
ambulance, rescue and hospital ser
vice, in every army, is so finely de-
veioped that the wounded are gathered
up with a minimum loss of time-thus
saved by prompt frst-aid attention.
And in this war mortality from dis
eases in camp has been exceedingly
low.
Mr.. Babson also reports that the
protective devices in use in this war
by far exceed those used in previous
vars, and Notwithstanding that the
means of destruction also have in this
war been brought apparently to al,
most the highest possible degree OF.
perfection, men have every possible
safeguard thrown about their lives
while in the trenches.
He rounds out his report by the de-
,laration, Furthermore, that the death
'ate is constantly decreasing" he OBJ,
serves that except when soldier is
in charge, he is statisticalls
as we'll off as in the streets of New
York ''ty''
Which, N view o. Mr. Babson's rec
1gnized conservatism and reliability,
should tend to shake the props from
under the hysterical impression that
service in France means almost GER
tain death.

Re no doubt; in fact, it has been
stated in print that the reason men
don't want to go to Europe is that they
feel that death awaits them if they
are made to face the trenches of the
Teutons"
But the plain fact that $4,000 regu-
lar army volunteers are now in uni

pointed numbers who have been reject

and that in a few days from now

Americans under arms, knocks a big
hole in such contention, And it
shows that such a presumption is a
reflection upon the courage of Amer.
cas- young manhood that is wholly I'M
warranted
1t must be admitted that the stagger,
ing reports of casualties on the battle
fields of Europe form a more or less
tangible reason for the conclusion that
trench service carries tremendous
hazard for those who engage in it, but
when one stops to analyze he is likely
to form the vastly different conclusion
rent war is below that of almost any
previous war in history; ana secondly;
that the prevailing impression that en-
listment for service against the leu
tons is tantamount to a death sentence
is part and parcel of the subtle under
ground proganda of the German sys-
TEN, intended solely to hamper Uncle
Sans aggressive enterprises.
Statistics, at least in conjunct'
with known proofs of the German
methods, point decidedly in that direc-
ton.
OF course, there are more casualties
in this than any previous war; but,
considering that there are infinitely
more men ENGAGED, and that almost
in its entirety the central powers do
main is bounded by battlelines, the
pIoportionate casualties dwarf Defore
the vital statistics of some other wars.
If the battle casualties in Europe
even approached those of Shiloh or an
Antietam day, for instance, consider.

SAFEGUARDING THE PUBLIC
HEALTH.

The periodical sanitary inspection OF
the city by the authorities has develop
ed the fact that there prevails in many
quarters a spirit of disregard for the
sanitary ordinances of the munici,
pality Property owners in many in
stances do not heed the regulation re-
lative to the cutting of weeds and when
their attention is called to their neg
lect by the authorities, they are in
clined to resent any implication that
they are remiss in their duty as citi-
zens.
No person who has any regard for
the health of his own family or that
of his fellow citizens, has any right to
ALLOW insanitary conditions to exist on
his premises, even though there were
no ordinances covering the supiect.
How much more, then, is he worthy
OF censure, who wilfully violates the
municipal laws which seek to safe
guard the public life and health.
1t is matter of common knowledge
that the sanitary ordinances Of Ameri-
Gus, while they are adequate and com
prehensive if enforce, are not as eff
fective as might be wished, for the
reason that there is not the proper
spirit of cooperation between the de-
partments in charge of this important
feature, nor between the citizens and
the municipal authorities.
The health of the community is
above all things most vitality important
ard the strict enforcement of every
sanitary ordinance on the city's statute
books should be insisted upon. If there
lie any particular department OF NUM-
cipal government in which laxity
should be absolutely unknown, it is
in the department of public health
and sanitation
There are citizens of Americas who
because of the financial expenditure
entailed, fail to make such improve
ments and changes in their properties
as will better the sanitary conditions
in the community How such individ-
uals find any ground of justification
for their NEGLECT and absolute violation
OF the law, is beyond understanding,
particularly when they realize that
by their neglect they menace the life
and health of every citizen of Ameri-
Gus.
We're Americas to acquire reputa-
ton as an unhealthy locality as the
result of a series of epidemics caused
By bad sanitary conditions, the growth
and development of the community
would be UNNECESSARILY retarded. 1t
is up to every loyal citizen who de
sires to see his home city continue
its progress, to insist upon the enforce
ment of the sanitary ordinances and to
cooperate to the fullest extent in pro,
tecting the public health.

Madison car service was a Mrs. A. d.
Davis of 12O N. Austin av. She was
found sitting in a car three blocks
from her home street, with baby in
her arms. The mOtOTman and con-
duCtOT of the car were nowhere in
sight 81 am going to stick on this
car until it takes me to where paid
to ride, if it takes all night" she said.
Il cannot carry this yOUngsteF home
every time l go down town. He's too
heavy. I have been on this car for
25 minutes since it arrived within six
blocks of my street, which is the end
of the line. We have just pOked along
in jam Of other cars. Is this what
we pay cents for?"
The suggestion that is made by
AUstinites for betterment in this
rank service in this:
When folks get on a car marked
Madison-Springfield, they know that
Springfield is as far as that car will
take Them. Practically all of the cars
that run out to Austin are close to
half empty when they reach Cicero
(4Sth). here IS a switch at this
corner, which would take cars from
the West-bound track to the east
bound track. Why not, then, make
about half of the present Madison
Austin cars Madison-Cicero and,
when they get to Cicero, switch them
back to the barns, or on downtown
for another load. People who get on
Madison-Cicero cars would know
that they could only ride to Cicero
and no arguemnts would occur. The
Madison-Springfield c ars cause no
arguments. Why isn't this sugges-
ton for bettenment of service (Which
the car company solicits) worth try
ing out?
At the same time it would not be
necessary, with the proper sort of
management, to send too few cars all
