MORTALITY IN FRENCH
ARMY Is REASSURING

Roger Babson, the statistician,
has gathered the following figures
from a close study of war casual
ties. They are eminently reassur-
ing. Pass them along:
Fourteen men out of fifteen so
far have been safe. Under present
conditions, where man power is be-
ing saved, no more than one in
thirty is killed. Only one man in
five hundred loses a limb-a chance
no greater than in hazardous condi-
tons at home" Mr.. Babson's conclu-
SONS are based on the mortality
figures of the French army and for
the full three years of war. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that pre-
sem fighting is not claiming any
where near the number of dead re-
corded for the first two years. He
says: Most of the wounds sustain
ed in the trenches are clean cut and

WAR SAVINGS
RECORD MADE
GOLDFIELD EASILY LEADS THE
STATE IN SALES TO
DATE

According to advices received to-
day by Postmaster Helen Rosenthal,
Goldfield has unknowingly been
making a big record in the sale of
w~ar-savings stamps and leads the
state, standing "~easily first"
A letter received from Fred l..
White, postmaster at Reno and Ne
vada director of war savings under
the national war savings committee
of fthe treasury department., states
in answer to the report of the local
p~ostOffice covering the period from
Dec. g., the date on which the sale
of war-savings stamps started, to
Dec. Is, that lin sales to date, Gold
field stands easily first, with about
$1,000"
The Reno postmaster says that
Immediately after Christmas he ex-
poets to make a tour of the state to
consult with postmasters regarding
the sale of the stamps, SO that intel
ligent cooperation may be obtained
in the work.
Still more remarkable than the
record made to Dec. Is is the fact
that the sales of the local office this
morning totalled close to $4,000 and
it is evident that, although Postmas-
ter White says the campaign has not
taken hold" yet in some places,
they will have to hurry after they
do get started to catch up with Gold
field.
