I returned. driving the Phoenix, to
New Bedford. and. as it was a Satur-
day. when the store closed at noon, I
had the ineffable delight of taking
Polly Briggs for q drive. AS chap
erons she invited two young friends of
hers named Lowell. They had been
but lately married. and regarded me no
more than a chauffeur they had hired
by the hour. This left Polly, who was
beside me on the front seat and my
self to our own devices. Our devices
were innocent enough. They consisted
in conveying the self-centered Lowells
80 far from home that they could not
get back for supper and were SO forced
to dine with me. Polly-for as Polly
now thought of her-discovered the
place. 1t was an inn, on the edge of

not get home until late, but 1t had been

They were 80 insistent that between

them. They wanted to know why I
had not appeared at the wedding, and
who was the beautiful girl.
The next morning on our return trip
to New Bedford Polly said: II read in
the papers this morning that those
girls in that theater party last night
were the bridesmaids at the Coates

Polly shook her head and laughed.
Then she turned and looked at me.
"You never sold an automobile in
your life," she said.
With difficulty / kept my eyes on the
road; but I protested vigorously.
Don't think I have been spying" said
Polly: IT found you out quite by acci-
dent. Yesterday young man I know
asked me to persuade you to turn in
your Phoenix and let him sell you one
of the new model. I said you yourself
were the agent for the Phoenix. and he
said that. on the contrary. he was. and
that you had no right to sell the car
in his territory.
I grinned guilty and said:

by taking the highest casualty rate
II is found that out OF every 10000 men
with the colors s41 were killed in ac-
ton or died of wounds. Military experts
in this country are agreed that the kill
ed in action and died of wounds have
at no time since the beginning Of hos
tilities exceeded 20 per cent Of the total
casualties. Consequently. this brings
the number OF fatalities down to 1882.
figuring on the basis OF 641 casualties
per 10000 and gives an average NOR
tality rate Of approximately 40 per
10000. or II per 1000.
while these figures deal solely with
tho French army. NJ Tardieu empha-
sizes the fact that the French have
been covering a larger territory in their
dsfenses than any other army. and thus
makes the conclusions reached as re-
CARDS the mortality rate applicable to
conditions as q whole. by showing the
maximum rate for that portion OF tho
allied forces most exposed. He states:
THE western front has an extension
Of 73e kilometers. Twenty ty-seven ktlo-
meters are held by the Belgians, 1873
kilometers are held by the English. 674
are held by tho French.
THE French army holds. according
~, more than two-thirds Of the western
front; that 10 to say, Of tho front whore

exertion.
