SHOW SOLDIERS CHANCE
TO ESCAPE WAR INJURY
Figures Given to illustrate Prob
ability Of 'Fighting Man" Com
ing Out Unscathed.

That the individual soldier has most
encouraging chances of coming out of
the war either unscathed or without
any very serious injury. in spite of the
large aggregate danger and losses. is
made evident. by some statistics given
under the heading of The Soldiers
Gamble" by the Vocational Summary.
the monthly publication issued here by
the federal board for vocational edu-
cation. The statements are quoted
from a folder issued by the bureau of
supplies and accounts, Navy Depart
ment.
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies a. fighting mans
cha noes are as follows:
home to one chance Of being killed. :.
"Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them. H.
zone chance in 500 of losing limb.
"Will live five years longer because
OF physical training. is freer from dis
ease in the Army than i'll civil life. and
has better medical care at the front
than at home.
"In other wars from ten to fifteen
men died from disease to one from bull
lets; in this war one man dies from
disease to every ten from bullets.
From those of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless the govern
ment. under the soldier and sailor in
surance law, gives protection to. the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

Senators Also See Assault on
ciyiI Service System in
Moves Planned.

Assertion that the government DEPART
ments have brought into Washington
many employees who are not really need
ed to perform the work Of the depart
ments was made by Senator Smoot Of
Utah yesterday on the floor of. the Sem
ate. Senator Reed Of Missouri and Sem
ator Thomas Of Colorado agreed that
there are large number Of employees
here whose services could be dispensed
with.
The discussion arose over an amend
ment to the military deficiency bill Civ
ing permanent ststus under the civil
service, regardless Of their having taken
civil service exaniina tions. to employees
of the naturalization bureau. Senator
Smoot charged tina: }t was an assault on
the civil service syHtem.. File predicted
that efforts would t.s made to cover into
the civil service all ot the employees who
have been hurried to Washington to
take temporary places.
euoses Head Of :, Bureau.
'The head Of a bureau told me last
week. said Senator Smoot." that IT
he were allowed to. pick out 40 per
cent of the employees in his bureau
he could obtain as great an amount
and better work than he can now
with the whole number employed"
Senator Thomas said that a cam
paign, was beginning to place all the
temporary clerks under the perma-
nent civil service of the government.
He said that. at least 40 per cent of
the employees here are not needed at
all. =,
"They are supernumeraries. even in
this time of great activity" said Sen
ator Thomas, "and if one may judge
from the work which some Of them
seem to be doing, I have understated
rather than overstated the percent
age"
The amendment to the bill finally
was adopted.

RED CROSS HELPS
10000 FAMILIES
IN THREE STATES
TIDING PEOPLE OVER PERIODS
OF STRESS.
Home Service Sections Render
Many Kinds of Assistance to
Soldiers and Sailors
Dependents.

About 10000 dependent families of
American soldiers and sailors are re-
ceiving material assistance or advice
from Home Service Sections of Red
Cross Chapters in the Atlantic Divi-
sion of the Red Cross. This state
ment was made by Alexander M. viii
son, Division Director Of Civilian Re-
lief. Three states, New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, comprise the
jurisdiction of the Division.
The majority of the families which
already have applied to the Red Cross
were in need of temporary assistance
to tide them over until such time as
the Government, through it's War Risk
Insurance Bureau, was prepared to
provide for them. The Red Cross Is
giving many kinds Of assistance
to these families-assistance which
ranges from outright gifts of money to
free medical aid and advice.
Every week the number of families
reported as seeking help from the Red
Cross increases. The Red Cross is
well equipped not only to assist the
families already under its care but
1t is prepared, it has announced, to
render service to many others. 1t
wants to be informed of the plight of
all persons experiencing want or
worry as a result Of the absence of a
husband, father, son or brother who
is in the service.

people who are waiting for their

when we consider that the War Risk
Insurance Bureau was organized in
Washington only about the first of
November, that the checks we're being
issued by the last of Decentralization
we feel that the Government has or
gained this bureau with incredible
speed.
while the Home Service Sections
of the Red Cross are prepared at all
times to render all the help they can
for dependent families, it is in a stu
alton such as this, when dependents
are waiting for aflotments from the
Government, that the Red Cross can
render the most effective assistance
to the families of our fighting men.
"Our work has infinite variety.
What is more, 1t is confidential. We do
everything, from giving families out
right gifts of money to making merely
a small loan or tracing a check or let

for automobiles, for auto trucks, for airplanes, for motorcycles, and for surgical instruments, as well as for some classes of firearms.
 Copper represents a tremendous factor in the winning of the war. Every part of the army and navy, in cluding the welfare of every man in 1t, is touched in some measure by this great necessity
 It is well for us to remember that from the time our boys leave home every moment of their lives is touched by the great part copper plays in their welfare. Their electric lights in camp, their orders from headquarters, their transportation of food, their goings and comings to and from cantonments and hospitals are dependent on the copper parts used in the machinery that maintains their organization.
 Copper enters into every detail of their progress, right up to the firing line. In the great transatlantic steam CTS which transport them across the sea we find it in hundreds of places. In the battleships that convoy them, we find a very network of copper wires. It is the essential factor through which the eyes of our service, the airplanes, convey the knowledge of the discovery of the enemy, and through copper wire speaks the voice of command to go into action, and when help is needed it furnishes the cry of Save, Oh, Save" to the world, foL ance. Through the winderful metal thousands of lives are saved and vic tory is made possible
 In the billets and on the firing line copper again enters into the lives of all. Telephone and telegraph, lights, transportation of foods and munitions are expedited because of its use. Soldiers are rushed to the front in motor vehicles made possible by cop per When the soldiers arrive, shells into which copper must go fire the ammunition against the enemy. The news of the progress of the engage ment is rushed back through copper wires to the commanding officer, and commands are given back over the wire, which lead to victory or which save our forces from destruction and annihilatiOn.
 Observation balloons. airplanes and outposts report back their informa- ton over copper wires. The wound ed are returned to the rear in motor vehicles made possible with the help of copper.
 So great a necessity is copper, that steel and lumber themselves do not play a more important part in the winning of the war.
