A SOLDIERS CHANCES

Figures compiled by Tot, weekly paper
published by the soldiers at Fl. Totten, on the
soldiers chances of life make an encouraging ex-
hibit. The summary is follows:
HAS twenty chances of coming home to
one chance of being killed.
HAS ninety-eight chances of recovering from
wounds to two chances of dying.
HAS only one chance in 500 of losing limb.
''Will live five years longer because of physical
training.
'1s freer from disease in the army than in
civil life.
HAS better medical care at the front than at
home
I'm other from ten to fifteen men died
from disease to one from bullets.
This war is less wasteful of life than any
other in history, although the contrary opinion
prevails"
Americans already have got well away from
the idea, so industriously cultivated by the
pacifists, that going into military service meant
gong to certain death or, at least, permanent
loss OF health. The cheerful crowds of young
men who have marched through Buffalo's streets
for the last few nights, ,on their way to camp
were not thinking of death and wounds.
Neither were the cheering crowds of friends
who babe them goodbye. The boys nowadays
are all being sent away with smile. 1t is a
smile OF hope as well as of patriotism
The soldier is willing to give his life for his
country if that should be necessary but he is not
entering the service with the depressing thought
that it is going to cost him his life He is ex-
peeting to come home again and to share in the
honor with which every man who takes part in
this war will be regarded. That is as it should
be. Life in any pursuit is uncertain. No in
dividual can control the time or manner of his
death. Why think of death in connection with
military work any more than with any other?
The task which we have in hand is to crush
the power of the Huns and we are going to do it.
That is the one dominating thought of all
America today.

AN IMPORTANT VICTORY CROP.

1t is claimed by war experts, that after am
munition pork is next in Importance. The hog
is the subject of good deal of dislike and rid
icule, but it is the of lard, bacon and ham,
trinity of needs just at this time, says the
State Marketing Bureau. More hogs are to be
found in Florida at this time than ever before,
and the outlook is that the number will continue
to multiply.
According to statistics of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture this country had 81, 800 900
head of hogs on Jan. 1, 1917, and II 100000 on
Jan. /, 1918 it is believed with the interest now
manifested the number will reach 100000 by
Jan. /, 1919, and Florida will show satisfactory
increase.
The foreign demand is on enormous scale.
Over 1O0,000,000 pounds of lard and assorted
meats are going across the ocean every month,
and as our armies increase over there the ex-
ports will continue to increase
The stock of hog meats at the eleven principal
Western markets was 472,000, 900 pounds on
heavy decrease of a. 000,O 900 pounds in single
month, and this is but sample of the tremen-
dous demands on American reservoirs of meat
supplies under stress of the armies and the
European soldiers and civilian population re-
quirements.
The Z. s. government is reported to have an
elaborate series of warehouses under refrigera-
tion built in France and quantities of foodstuffs
being shipped there for distribution as re-
quired by the armies.

This shortage, due to so many physic-
ians being called to the colors and
which so much mulch has been written
about lately. is a real. serious matter

To prevent all communicable dis

AUSTRO.HUNGARY READY TO
HAVE WILSON SAY THE WORD

Basel, Switzerland, Oct. l6.-The

cision in their favor, and Bulgaria s
demand for peace only hastened the
presentation of their peace PROPOSE.
tions, Baron Burian, the Austro-H Hun.
garian foreign minister, declared in q
fairs committee of the Hungarian
delegation at Vienna.
although the central powers have
been able to force the new military
situation" the foreign minister said
'it must be stated that we cannot
hope any longer for decisive success
by arms, while our adversaries are not
sure of their power to crush our re-
sistance. Hence further bloodshed is
useless"
The foreign minister expressed the
view that the creation of n league OF
nations constituted a preliminary con-
dition for the establishment of a
peace of impartial justice "such as
President Wilson and we desire"
"Such league" he added, "would
form the framework of the new world
1t is upon it that the various states
will build up their reciprocal rela-
tions."
"Such league" Burian continued
Twill replace the policy of an equi-
librium of groups of powers depend
ing on force by an organization of
states voluntarily submitting to an
international law established by them
selves with the creation of an execu-
tive power above the states to enforce
the laws"
International arbitration tribunals
will settle disputes, the foreign min
ister said, and armaments will lose
the reason for their existence. The
baron then said:
ut is not my place to enter into n
discussion as to the reasons why Pres
ident Wilson delayed his reply to us
when he has communicated with Ger
many with view to enlightening GER
tain preliminary questions, for !
should be reduced to pure hypoth-
esis.
Wouiu oHHy say tHaI oui Sohh-
dence in President Wilson's word is
so firm that we categorically reject
suppositions attributing to his pro-
cedure motives, tactical reasons or in
tentions malevolent toward the mon
archy."
Baron Burian told the committee
of the Hungarian delegation that
President Wilson's declaration that
the evacuation of territory was neces-
sary before an grmistice could be
granted was "perfec:ly just and
founded not only on political reasons
but on positive military reasons"
"Our agreement and that of Ger
many to this evacuation is certain, "
he added.
