Somebody in Washington with love for fig ures has taken the mortality statistics of the AL lies and from them compiled a very interesting table of probabilities. The actual experience of Great Britain and France would to disprove the theory that modern warfare Is deadly than the ancient kind. Casualties much greater. but not in proportion to the number of men en- gagged. Machine guns. tanks and artillery make wholesale slaughter possible but modern surgery and medication work wonderful results in restoring men to life and service.
 As regards sanitation in camp, the elimination and control of diseases which formerly took dread full toll of soldier life miracle has been wrought. Based the actual figures of the British and French armies in this war, it is found that the modern soldier has 29 chances of coming home to of being killed He has 49 chance of recovering from wounds to one chance of dying from them.

STICK WITH ALASKA.

It cannot be reiterated too often that the best bet for Alaskan is to stick with the Ierritory. does not at all likely that the war Tn Europe can last longer another year. and the end may come at any time With the end of the conflict there will be great rush back to this Territory. Thou sands who left to enter the war service or some of the industries incident to war will return, and with them will come more thousands Frank w. Petty- grove, the well known commercial representative than whom few are closer of the trend of af fairs, talking the other day. said the rush to Alaska after the will be greater than was the Klondke stampede and it will be crowd of stayers that vii Every day someone gets a letter from someone else who has gone Outside in which regret is ex pressed that he had left the hope for an early re- turn.

 Let us not forget two things: This rush to Alas ka will come soon and when it comes, those on the ground those who stayed will be in best position tt reap the richest rewards.
 Writing about this situation recently, the Valdez Miner says:
 Parties returning from the States say that Alaskans who went outside at the beginning of the war, seeking to better their conditions, are already chafng to get back to Valdez and the Northland. Which is but natural longing when understands the spirit of these hardy and daughters of the Northand who chafe under the restraints imposed by the unreal con dtions outside. Like Lots wife, their spirit turns to their old home and they look back. with longing to the land of their first love.

We have had much to eat, and as many creature comforts, and much spare change the average workman ground between the corporation mstones of the big bosses.

And they will all come back to us, these citizens who for sock the old ship in it's time of stress. They may be penitent and ashamed of their lack of faith but they will back, and will be here to give them the glad hand of good fel- lowship and help them slough their eastern ways For the good book says that he that has tasted of the joys of summer in the North land cannot be denied from the land of his choice"

New Method for Potatoes.
(Whitehorse Star.)

Robert Lowe is experimenting in raising potatoes by new method and from the healthy, rapid and wig orous growth of the seed he has planted it looks though he may have hit upon the right way to pro duce tubers in Whitehorse and vicinity, where the nights throughout the entire season are cool and where frost is not an unusual condition at any time of the year.
 He planted the potatoes in a wooden slated crate of several feet each way in dimension. First he put in a layer of earth IS inches in depth and in this he made his initial planting.

o Find Duties for
Men Slightly Unfit
( St0f CO1resnOndencel

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Regula-
tions for the management of men in
the military service who have remedial
ply sical defects or defects which do
not interfere with the performance of
military duty will soon be announced
by a@special board of army medical of
fcers.
Preparatory to the first draft, in an
ticipation of the appearance of army
patients, a set of regulations was pre-
pared, and /. large number of men of
the two types were accepted and are
now in the service. Some of these cases
have given army medical officers much
annoyance. In some cases it has de-
veloped that the so-called remedial de-
fects have been relieved by surgical
operations. Where soldiers assert they
are suffering as the result Of the opera
ton, it is not possible for the doctor
to determine whether the claim is
based upon good grounds or not.
The new board Will endeavor to fix
some rule which will provide for the
elimination of these men from the SER
vice or u course of observation which
will determine their fitness.

AS an educator Henry Parkes
Wright was leader in this country
for many years. From 1884 to 1909 he
was dean of Yale, retiring because of

He was born in Winchester, N. H.,
on November 80, 1889, the son of
Parkes and Relief Wright, and served
with the 51st Massachusetts, Infantry
in the Civil War.
DR.. Wright was graduated from Yale,
receiving his A. 3. in 1868, his A. M. in
1871 and Phi. D. in 1876. He also
attended the universities of G0ttingcn
and Berlin in 1878 and 1879. An hon

In the first place. it has already cs-
tabi.shed more than sixty branch Of
hces and is rapidly increasing the
number all over the country. Many of
these branches are charged exclusively
with looking after farm labor. In many
other Offices special men will be sta
TONED to concentrate on farm labor.
Many special field agents travel from
Office to office and get in touch through
postmastcrs, commercial clubs, boards
or trade, etc. with labor supplies in
communities where there are no reg
ular Offices. Through advertising and
cooperation with the postoffice and in
other ways it IS thus hoped to create
competent organization to find and
deliver men. A complete system of
weekly reports IS planned. which, being
dlgestec by states and special districts,

of labor supply to meet the emergency
are:

harvest, to do their part in making
food and winning the war. Some in
dustries and some commercial and pro-
fessional activities Will be urged to
suspend altogether for time. Every
sort or business will be urged to ap-
propriate a quota of its employe4 sub

Amu11dsen Calls
On Scandinavians
To Build Ships
Your Duty Is to Aid the
United States, He Tells
Workingmen

s Asserting that America is a shackled
giant unless she has the unqualified
and tireless support of labor, Captain
Roald Amundsen, discoverer' of the
South Pole, exhorted all Scandinavian
workmen and shipbuilders to serve
their adopted country by working full
time, at the Scandinavian patriotic
mass meeting yesterday afternoon in
the Century Theatre. Captain Amund-
sen described his recent inspection of
the French, British and American
fronts to capacity audience.
Let me ask all working men of Scan
dinavian blood to do their very best by
working full time" said Captain
Amundsen. II call upon you Scandi-
navians, and especially you of Norway,
to rally to the flag of the United States.
You are here earning your living and
enjoying full liberty. 1t is your solemn
duty and obligation to aid with every
ounce of your vitality. The best way
for you to do it is to employ your
skill and knowledge Of shipbulding by
going to the shipyards and building
ships. The first thing to be done is to
conquer the submarine. Ships and more
ships"
Because of the excellent cooperation
and coordination on the Allied front,
Captain Amundsen said that there was
no question of the outcome.
Explaining why he made a six weeks
inspection of the Western front in an
unofficial capacity, Captain Amundscn
said:
II was curious to see the boys of
Uncle Sam-how they acted and how
my greatest expectations. | am sure
If Kaiser Bill, as all the soldiers call
him, could peek into the camps where
the American soldiers are training in
France, he would get what you say in
America an eye opener"
Thundcrous applause greeted Cap
tain Amundscn's explanation of why he
returned his German decorations.
"When the Germans wantonly sunk
Norwegian ships and then turned their
guns on the lifeboats, I felt it was my
country which had so barbarously vio-
lated all decencies," he said.
One of the purposes of the meeting.
Edwin 0. Hotter. the chairman, eX-
planned. was to stimulate greater in
terest in the war among the Scandi-
navian people.
"Whcn the casualty lists start COM
ing in of Western regiments and we
see the Scandinavian names in them.
then the United States will know how
loyal arc her citizens of Norwegian.
Swedish and Danish blood" said Sen
ator Knutc Nelson. Of Minnesota. Sen
ator Nelson said that all Scandinavians
should support their adopted country
with everything they own.
