all deductions have been made, the
singular fact still remains, that we
are actually safer ahoat than

gers OF this present war are a strik-

On the face OF the figures the
navy OF any OF the first class powers
is one OF the healthfest places in

ish navy, for instance, from all
causes. for the ten years before the
war had averaged less than four
per thousand per year and in 1913
had actually fallen TO 3.24 per
thousand, a good average death
rate on shore being IA TO is per
thousand. And our own navy is
only a fraction Of the percent be-
hind England's. OF course, It must
be remembered that the navy is
manned entirely by boys and men
from fifteen TO forty-hve, the vast
majority being under thirty. in the
