FEW KILLED IN BATTLE.
Only One Man in Fifteen Loses Life
Late Statistics Prove.

Only One Man in Fifteen Loses Life,
Late Statistics Prove.
That the risk Of the. fighting man
is not nearly so great as is popularity
imagined is the belief of Marine Corps
officials who have compiled statistics
covering the allied losses in the war.
A careful estimate shows that only
one man in fifteen is killed, and one
out of five hundred loses limb. Re-
cent reports from French and British
hospitals show that about 95 per cent
recover from wounds, while about go
per cent are able to return to the fir
ing line.
While the Marine Corps officials
hold unbiased views in regard to the
expected casualties among their own
troops in France, it is pointed out that
the Soldiers of the Sea" recently en-
gagged in warfare in Haiti suffered
less than one per cent losses. These
Were sustained while covering wide
terrain, fighting from house to house,
and capturing and holding small re-
doubts, taken one by one from the
enemy. This method of warfare is
said to be rapidly superseding the
trench system on the western front in
Europe.

United States. Colonel Jenkins is con- sidered one of the strongest and most in- telectual preachers in the Salvation Army in this country. He is a prolific writer on various subjects, and is a member of several governing boards at the national center.'
 "Our work in Birmingham has been most gratifying," said Major Quirk. When we started it 15 years ago here, it was on a very small scale. Now there is located in this city rescue home for women, an industrial home for men, a hall for evangelistic services, where hun dreds of men and women have started out to live new lives, encouraged by the pray CTS of Salvation Army officers and sol diers. The rank and file of the army are to be found in many of the large corpor- ations in this city, holding responsible positions. These men and women give of their spared time to help uplift man. kind and to make the world better, with out any compensation from the army division and relief headquarters for the gulf states are also located here"
