LOSS IN TRENCHES
Mortality Less Than in Any OF
the Previous Wars.
Physician Asserts That Disease Is So
Thoroughly Eliminated That q
Sick Man Is a Curiosity.

Readers with relatives and friends
at the front should get considerable
comfort from study of the mortality
statistics of the armies recently put
forward by a well-known physician,
London Tit-Bits states. While his fig
ureS are not so favorable as those
given out from Paris indicating that
all kinds of permanent losses-killed,
captured, missing and disabled-aggre-
gate but 3 per cent per annum of the
effective forces engaged, they are new
ertheless distinctly encouraging.
He finds that about sixty men per
1000 are being killed and $50 wound
ed and that very large proportion of
the latter return TO the trenches This,
naturally, is not to be compared with
the normal death rate Ia time of peace
of men of military age, which is but
eight per 1000; but 1t is vast inn
provement upon the showing of any
previous war.
For one thing, disease has been so
thoroughly eliminated that sick man
is curiosity. The soldier at the front
is certainly less liable to attack than
if he were at home. Everything he
eats and drinks and wears, almost
everything he touches, is subject to
| the finest medical supervision of which
science Is capable, and if any particu-
larly persistent bacillus were 10 get
into his system in spite of all precau-
tions, 1t would find him in such su-
perb condition that its work would be
futile. The high commands have thor
oughly learned the lesson that it does
not pay to train man to be soldier
and then lose him from cause that
Is in the least degree preventable.
By this same token, experience, both
In the protection of the soldier and
In the care of the wounded, is stead.
| lily reducing the death rate as the war
| progresses. Not only are new tactics
constantly being developed which re-
suit In loss exposure of the individual
soldier, but he is constantly being
better equipped with defensive ap-
paratus to minimize the effects of bull
let or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally,
from many classes of wounds which
would have spelled probable death In
1914 and certain crippling in 1915, re-
| covery is now almost a matter of
| course.
The drafted man who goes as an or
dinary soldier, taking his judgment
with him and leaving his excessive en-
thusiasm behind, has every chance
Of coming back, and in better physical
condition than when he left.

A patriot is one who is willing to
overlook his personal grievances dur
ing the period of the war. He is one
who will for the time consent to tear
himself loose from the vanity of his
own opinions if thereby he can assist
the war aims of his nation. A patriot
is one who is willing to eat less and
think more, if it will help Uncle Sam
A real patriot does not measure
his country's success from the view
point of what he is "going to get
out of it." Not on your tintype! The
"real stuff" sort of patriot is one who
rolls up his sleeves, spits on his hands
and says: Uncle Sam give me some
thing to do!

Search for oil in Britain.

Certain eminent American geolo-
gists, the house of commons was told
lately, hold that it is well worth while
to spend considerable sum Of money
in exploring for possible petroleum de-
posits in Great Britain. according to
a London correspondent. The speaker,
spokesman for the board OF trade,
added:
SIt is impossible to exaggerate the
Importance of finding oil In this coun-
try. We cannot yet say that it is here,
but Ii is certainly worth looking for.
"Oil is almost more important at this
moment than anything else. You may
have men, munitions and money, but
If you have no oil you are without the
greatest motive power we are using"

The subject of the Sunday sermon
at one of the uptown New York
churches was the duties Of the citi-
zen In time of war. The need of con-
servation of all foodstuffs was en-
phasized, and among the persons who
gave ear was a small boy, replete in
Sunday f1nery. lie sat with his grand
father, stout, rather red-faced man,
who was obviously devoted TO the
youngster. "And at this time," said
the clergyman, In the course OF his
sermon, ''it is the small sacrifice which
means so much to the good of the
nation generally. There Is a shortage
of sugar Well, let us eat less candy,
for instance" The stout man nudged
his grandson. "It is time for sober,
cIear-headed action on the part OF all. :
continued the clergyman; "and when
there are so many war needs for al
cohol, why, for instance. should any
man now partake of spirituous
liquors?" Then the small boy nudged
his grandfather.
