STATISTICS FOUND IN PRESENT
WAR.

Rare indeed, and decidedly alone,
must be that individual who is not
personally interested in some one or
another of our young men in the
fighting forces. Few of us, therefore
can fail to find interest in compute
ton, based on the mortality statistics
of the allied armies, of soldier s
chances of coming out unscathed, or
at least not badly injured
We are informed that every soldier
in service has 'twenty-one chances OF
coming home to one of being killed;
forty-one chances of recovering from
wounds to one of dying from them
one chance to five hundred of losing
a limb" 1t is also pointed out that
soldier will live five years longer
because of physical training, is freer
from disease in the army than in civil
life, and has better medical care at
the front than at home"
In other wars from ten to fifteen
men died from diseases, to one from
bullets; in this war one man dies
from disease to every ten from bull
lets. There is decided encouragement
in these calculations. They can do
much to offset the anxiety and trepi-
dalton occasioned throughout the
country by the daily appearance of
our casualty lists. .ae
