RISK Is NOT so GREAT
Marine Officials Compile Statistics OF
Soldiers Deaths.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-That the
risk of the fighting man is not nearly
so great as Is popularity imagined is
the belief of marine corps officials
here who have compiled statistics
covering the allied losses in the war.
A careful estimate shows that only
one man in ID is killed. and one
out of five hundred loses Il limb. Re-
cent reports from French and British
hospitals show that about g5 per cent
recover from wounds. while about
ninety per cent are able to return to
the firing 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" re-
Gently engaged in warfare in Haiti
suffered less than one per cent losses.
These were sustained while covering

If sufficient space is available

Storage in large piles should
