Great as the danger and large
as the losses in the aggregate, the
individual soldier has plenty of
chances of coming out of the war
unscathed, or at least not badly
injured.
Based on the mortality statistics
Of the allied armies, a soldiers S
chances are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances OF coming
home to one chance of being
killed.
Forty-nine chances of recover
ing from wounds to one chance OF
dying from them. :
One chance in 500 of losing a
limb.
Will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training, is freeT
from disease in the army than in
civil life, and has better medical
care at the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to IL
men died from disease to l from
bullets; in this war l man dies
from disease to every 10 from
bullets.
For those of our fighting men
who do not escape scatheness, the
government under The soldier and

lion to the wounded and their de.

supreme sacrifice for their country

The Japanese Riots

Food riots, tending to assume an anti
capitalistic character, are as old as pov-
erty, and poverty is as old as human
kind. So there is nothing new in the
rice riots reported from Japan, and yet
the news is interesting and significant
Great industrial wealth has come to
Japan suddenly. People have not
learned how to manage it. This applies
both to those who possess it and those
who envy it. Some of those who newly
possess 1t parade it, and that is irritating
to the people, who are very poor in spite
OF being very Industrious This is the case
not because the Japanese rich arc richer
or more unfeeling than the rich any,
where else, not because of the rich ut
all, In fact, but because Japan, when
obliged to choose between living an
inert exploited existence or becoming an
industrial nation, chose the latter. She
accepted competition with Western in
dustrialsm on terms which were almost
heart breaking. For Japan to become an
industrial nation Japanese labor had

months, and there was every opportu-
nifty for the jury to become weary and
confused. Some defendants secured sep
aratc trials; with respect to others the
indictments were dismissed. The whole
proceeding, from its unwieldy bulk, Of
fered every excuse for a mistral or for
misconception of the facts by the
jurors.
Yet the issues of this trial that lasted
four months were settled by the Chi
cago jury in sixty-fve minutes. Confu
sion, eloquence, generalities Of class
appeal, were waved out of the window.
The twelve Americans took the straight
forward Interpretation of the acts
charged. Whatever other aims the de-
PENDANTS may or may not have had, they
had sought to obstruct our fighting abil-
ity. There was but one verdict posi-
bic. The result was splendid vindca-
ton of the jury trial. 1t was a stirring
expression of American resolve in the

Poland the Indestruct;ble

A thrill goes round the world at the
message of the ia Polish officers and
soldiers to their countrymen, asking to
die rather than that their cause be in
the slightest compromised Here are
Polish idealism and nobility at their
highest. These brave men, facing the
gallows, have as had our own Nathan
Hale, but one thought-their country.
That country has no existence on the
maps to-day. But it does exist, beauti-
full and real and eternal in the hearts
of Poles everywhere. 1t is coming into
its own again as certainly as right will
prevail. The I'D imprisoned officers and
men in Hungary are but uttering the
will and thought Of all their country
men.

I,nprovising Skill

The war is the day of the under dog
all along the line-the too old, the mere
woman, the unskilled, the theorist who
never hoped of so free a hand at remak-
ing the world while you wait. Manufact-
uring skilled laborers out of unskilled is
as interesting an instance of boosting as
we know. Our National Committee on
Labor (of which Mr.. Gompers is chair
man. has a "Section on Industrial Train
ing for the War Emergency" and it is
under this influence that this business of
improvising skill while you wait is
going on.
"Vestibule Schools" is the technical
name for this sort Of training school.
England and France compel every man
ufacturing plant to provide them. Says
j. j. Pierson, dilution officer of the
British Ministry of Munitions in the
London district:
You can make tool room operator of a
woman IN three weeks If you can't do
it in three weeks you can't do it at all.
You have simply got the wrong pom-
an. Pick out long fingered, sensitive,
intelligent woman from the shop force
who has been carefully trained and is
especially satisfactory and exact in her
production, and upgrade her in this way.
Miracles do not happen. 1t still takes
many years to train an all-around tool
maker; but if you start with a thor
oughly high grade machinist, for in
stance, he can be made quickly. So all
along the line. Upgrading has always
been done in every factory. But it has
been done slowly and carelessly. Now
upgrading must be speeded to the limit.
Recruits must be drawn from non-essen-
tial industries and trained as quickly as
possible for the lower grades of ma
chine work. 1t is stated that 100000
new trained workers must be brought
into our factories by January /.
1T is industrial training of an inten
sive, Immediate and practical kind that
is needed. Time is lacking to manufact-
ure skill in the old, slow, hit-or-miss
processes. Prejudces must be forgotten.
New methods, new tests, must be impro-
vlsed. Germany cannot be beaten by
brute force. She can be beaten onlv bv
skill, and here, in this labor of improvisf
ing fresh skill for our factories. is onh
OF the most important and absorbNq
opportunities Of the war. 1t is the onlv
way out for the manufacturer. It is also
his bounden patriotic duty.

The War Wins

The clean cut verdict against the 100
members Of the I. w. w. may surprise
and shock those of our intelligentsia who
had been raising funds for the defence
OF these precious "n,artyrs." 1t will
surprise no American who has been lv-
ing and thinking and feeling with his
country these crowded days. 1t will have
the overwhelming approval of the nation.
lhls was an extraordinary trial. In
SIZE and scope it was unique 1t was. in
erect, trial Of the entire I. w. w. Or
ganlzatlon, the entire movement, in it's
relation to the war There were five
counts in the indictment.
The first charged conspiracy to pre-
vent and hinder the government from
executing laws furtherng the prosecu-
ton of the war.
The second charged conspiracy to in
terfere with the production and trans
portation of food, clothing and muni-
tions essential to the carrying on of the
war.
The third charged conspiracy to inter
fere with the enforcement Of the se1cc-
tive draft law.
The fourth charged conspiracy to VIC
late the Federal espionage law and to
obstruct army and navy recruiting.
The fifth count, which charged CON-
spiracy to violate the postal laws, was
dismissed by Judge Lands.
Obstructing Americas fighting of the
war, it will be seen, was the broad sub
stance Of the charge.
The trial was conducted with the ut
most fairness to the defendants. They
enjoyed extraordinary freedom to pre-
sent their own evidence and pleas as
they sevcrally desired. For that reason

in the world which it Is The hardships
are terrific
The world is full of disparities. In
Japan they are vivid, like the landscape,
and understanding there, as elsewhere, is
confused by emotion. A little wealth
ostentatiously displayed in such a coun-
try grows big in the eye of the masses
and is grievously resented. In our own
country there is more wealth and more
ostentatious display of wealth than in
any other country on earth, and yet it is
less resented. Why? Because every
body who is not rich may hope to be.
The day laborer, with but little self
denial, may have his own automobile.

The Depth Gauge

How deep are we getting into the
war? The easiest way to tell is to read
Secretary Bakers testimony on his re-
current appearances before the COM
mittees of Congress. Mr.. Bakers utter
aces are perfect depth gauge.
When we were in the war up to our
ankles the Secretary bubblcd over with
optimism.
When we got in up to our knees he
was still full of complacency and salts
faction.
When we got in to our waists he was
still telling Congress that our war effort
was miracle as it stood. Two months
ago he was counselling Congress to go
slow about broadening the conscription
age limits
Now he is willing to let Congress do
what it wanted to do in June. What of
it, even if we do get in above our
waists? Said Mr.. Baker yesterday:
There are two ways of prosecuting this
war. One way is to make every possible
effort to do it now, and the other is to
proceed somewhat more leisurely and do
it later. The obvious advantage from
every standpoint, social, military, indus
trial and economic, is to put forth every
effort in this country and win the war as
soon possible.
That almost bespeaks the ardor of
genuine conversion. It is Fochan in
energy.
Yet when it comes to details the old
habit fingers a little. Mr. Baker is will
ing to support the Thomas ''work or
fight" amendment-in principle. He
was formerly an obstinate opponent of
what he called the "conscription Of
labor" He said yesterday with regard to
revoking the deferred classification of
draft registrants who quit their work in
useful industries: "That seems to me to
be entirely proper"
Yet when a member of the House
Committee on Military Affairs asked
him: "Then you would be willing to use
the draft regulations in industrial dis
putes?" he answered obviously: eyes.
to a limited extent"
In explanation of this dubiety he is
reported as saying that the President
could determine whether suspension of
work was "in good faith and could
defer suspending exemption of work..
men. There is an unfortunate sugges-
ton in this Of looking backward to
where the water was shallower.
Again, when the question of drafting
men from eighteen to forty-five came up
the Secretary talked of deferring the
calls for those between eighteen and
nineteen and for those in the higher age
classes. Probably this represented onlv
personal point Of view. The policy of
the government was emphatically and
candidly stated by General March, who
told the committee: eve will need eyerv
single man in Glass / between eighteen
and forty-five. We must not delude our
selves with the idea that those in the
eighteen and nineteen calls are going to
be deferred any length Of time. Thev
will have to be called early next spring
IN order to get their training in time
to get to France"
Here speaks the real will to win the
war, even if we have to go into it up to
our necks. Mr.. Baker is living and learn
ing He may get used to deeper water.
