LOWEST RECORD IN
WORLDS HISTORY
American Of Twenty Has Same Chance
of Living in Trenches as Man of so
pared with Civil War.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The mortality
rate from all causes of this war has
been less than that Of all great wars
OF the past, of which we have records,
according TO Edward a. Woods, we'll
known statistician of Pittsburg. Wide
repetition OF n false statement TO the
effect than an American solder sent to
France has only one chance in two Of
returning indicates, according to Mr..
Woods, that its spread is largely pro-
German propaganda, assisted by
thoughtles4 Americans with the object
of causing encouragement among
American parents. The fact is, occord-
ing To Mr.. Woods who has made an cX-
haustive study of the subject in a state
ment, that the American soldier of 20
years of age who is now in the trenches
has the same chance Of being alive at
the end of the war, ii it lasts a year
or so longer, as a man of 90 in civil
life has Of living the same length of
time. Mr.. Woods wrote:
~ As matter Of fact. strange as it
may seem, the total mortality rate OF
this war is the lowest of any great war
ever fought; less than one-half that Of
our civil war, where there were seven
deaths out of every hundred per annum,
whereas on the western battle front
there are less than three per annum.
1.-THE most reliable data on the war
mortality is that of the. French army
which has certainly not lacked expos
ure to all kinds of danger, and is suf-
fcring particularly from the enormous
prcad OF tuberculosis, before the wal

of the probability that many more sol
diers would be sent into the state.

1t may be too much to expect, -
continued MIR. Smith, ito have the
state entirely free this spring. though
public sentiment has wonderfully
changed of late as to the deairabilitv
of continuing license in force. 1t
should be the patriotic duty of every
man to carefully weigh the question
this year, OF all years, before he casts
his vote for the open saloon.

Assuming that the American army,
certainly more free from tuberculosis,
has as great mortality as the last avail
able figures from the French army,
prottlng by the experience of the Brit
lsh and French armies. and after far
more preliminary training, it means that
the chances of dying from battle or
from wounds received in battle by the
average American soldier are about the
same as the chances of the average man
of 90 dying during the next II months.
1t is about three times the normal NOR
tally of the average man at ages, say,
30 or 40. 1t is not greater than the
mortality OF many hazardous civilian
occupations To put it another way,
the chances are greater that a man Of
40 viii die in the next three years than
that his son in the service will die from
the casualties of war in one year
The average soldier in the American
army runs very little more risk. if any,
of dying than the average coal miner.

or stonecutter of the same age One

fort of the French and British armies,
