the Gazette believes that the follow
ing letteaewill prove especially inter-
esting as it gives an insight into
the spirit of onr young soldiers and
their, feeling tward their corpand-
ing officers. The letter is from Priv
ate Gerald W. Irasek, of the 10th
Engineers, until few weeks ago in
training at Camp Humphreys, to his
mother, Mrs. Marion A. Irasek, of
Milwaukee, who came hire to be near
her son until he went abroad and,
having made number of friends in
Alexandria, is lingering here for
while. This is the letter:
Dearest Mother:
Just line or two to let you know
that | am feeling fine. At present
we are located in tn finest camp in
France. We are here IF business and
work like the devil but after a hard
days work, why, bath or rub down
and you feel like fighting man.
-Four to six weeks over here and,
by George, if you have any sense at
all you sure become soldier. 1t is
all in getting into the game. When
Won get over here you begin to realize
Just what has to be done and it surely
is a whole lot. The American Army
is composed of fine bunch of fellows
and over hire is where you begin to
appreciate them. They are more like
lot of "good fellows" always willing
to help a chap out when he is in bad
luck, though I don't mean when ne
disobeys orders. In regard to the
officers, they are all business when
YOU are working and during the
hours for work, and if you don't do
as you are told, it does not matter
if YOU are the King Of England, you
will get hell, but outside of drill hours
thew are the fust, most clean-cut
chaps you would wan: to meet any
where. There is lots of sn y and pep
and it surely does your heart cool to
see them.
You folks at home do not appreciate
the magnitude Of the work of the
American Army, but if you were here
|. you certainly would. 1t means that
YOU folks at home must get right
down to rock bottom and plug like
teh rest of us. Every minute counts.
You must be with us in every thing
we do. We are doing it for the best
of all concerned.
We obey over hire and do not ques-
ton the authority. Our commanding
ing officer says that he does what he
is told to do because the man higher

is the way we do things over here.
am just an atom in this great wheel
but each part must be we'll oiled or
the thing doesn't work.
In this camp every man shaves
every day, shines his shoes, presses
his clothes, has hair cut when needed,
keeps gun in tip-top shape, and if you
fall down, why, they attend to your
case at once and you soon find out
what law and order mean. Don't
worry; do not"

Money Value of Life

FINANCIAL Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In an article by Richard E.
Whittesley. Of tho Guaranty Trust
Company, figures have been compiled
to show the war losses Of the belliger-
ent nations. Such figures may be in
teresting in themselves, but as a basis
OF conclusions or predictions they are
not only worthless but deceptive.
Mr.. Whittesley estimates the total
wealth of the Allies at $4O6,O00,O0O,-
600 and of the Central Powers at
05,000.000,000 Such figures, if ac-
curate, might signify their respective
abilities to bear the burdens of war
and perhaps serve as a basis for meas
uring their nearness to economic ex-
haustion. Yet if the total prices at
current rates Of the various factories.
instruments, materials and goods in
stock, all constituting capital goods, are
added together. the sum will give a
very imperfect idea Of how much the
community possesses. Some of the
most valuable resources of q nation,
such as the efficiency Of its labor, the
fertility Of its land, its natural in
ternal waterways, the geographical
layout of its seaboard, Its forests and
the potential power of its waterfalls,
cannot be included.
Mrs. Whittesley further quotes
French authority as assigning to man
in the United States capital value of
$4,000. Mr.. Whittesley has been in
consistent, however, because in reckon
ing the total wealth of nations he has
not considered the human factor. since
a destruction Of 100000 lives would
mean a demolition Of the entire wealth
of $210,000,0 100000 ascribed to the
United States without the destruction
Of a dollars worth Of real property.
This is naturally absurd. because the
destruction of life can but indirectly
affect the value of property.
The fallacy Of afflxing any money
value to human life may be seen when
we consider the immediate effect Of
diminution Of labor force in a COM
munity. II that reduction leaves some
of the machinery Of production inop-
erative, then the returns to invested
capital decrease and labor gets a part
Of what was formerly profit to the cap
jtaist. The result Is an induccment to
migrate until the loss in man power
is rcplcnishcd.
But let us suppose that both capital
and labor are partly destroyed, both in
the same proportion to the total.
Wages then cannot rise at the expense

Hauls Freight With
Less Car Movement
Railroad Administration Re-
ports on Its First Five
Months

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.~-Railroads
under common management this year
have hauled approximately the same
amount Of freight az last year with
Jess actual train movement, owing to
7erouting and fuller loading Of cars.
This was shown to-day by Railroad
Administration report on freight train
operation for the year up to June 1.
In the fve-months' period the num-
Der Of tons Of freight hauled one mile
vas $4,000, 100000, as compared with
$4,000, ,000,0 600 last year. The apparent
reduction this year was caused partly
by new methods Of reporting Reports
showed the number of miles travelled
by loaded freight cars, considering the
movement of one car one milo as
anti, was 5,9o3 900, 900, an compared
with s,45s, ,0o0, 900 last year The hau-
ling of empty freight cars also was
cut down 44,0O0,060 car miles
Railroads had 30,731 locomotives in
servicc June !, an compared with 3O,321
year before. This was in addition TO
1855 locomotives awaiting repairs in
shops. There were 2,4l8.000 freight
cars in service, or 10000 more than
year previous. A tendency TO reduce
the miles covered by trains in Il day

of capital, because the demand for CAPT.
tai Is just as keen as the demand for
labor. The remaining labor will apply
itself to working the balance of capital
with the same compensation as for
merly. but without suffering the eff
fects of unemployment which would
certainly result if capital were de-
stroyed more than in proportion to
labor.
1t may be held, however, that war
debts will bear more heavily on the in
dividual if the population of the COM
munity is reduced. The debt per capita
will of course increase, but the ability
Of the individual to bear his burden
depends only on his individual wealth
and earning power. both of which may
be increased by destruction Of
lives without destruction of prop
erty, so that his burden will be no
greater in proportion to his ability to
shoulder it than it formerly was.
The effect of our national debt may
be troublesome, but it should not be
greatly magnified by reduction in the
number of producers. From a ma
tional point of view it may be said that
expenses are being paid as we go, since
the loans of the government are being
floated entirely within the country
Future payment of the debt will there
fore be nothing more than readjust-
ment Of the distribution of costa tax
ing from the pocket of one individual
to replenish the pocket of another.
That replenishment cannot incur
greater hardships in the future than
are Being borne at present, except in
consequence of injudicious taxation
policies.
In conclusion l would say that your
contributor is using science which
deals only with the wealth-getting and
wealth-using activities of man to de-
terminc the pecuniary value of the in
dividual to society. What is really the
ultimate factor in economics-man-is
passed over, with the result that the
figure obtained has no significance in
fact Though the human element un-
doubtedly possesses value, that value
is so variable that it cannot be stated
definitely in figures.

Scotch F Fishermen Not
Daunted by Submarines
Catch Last Year Only 10 Per
Cent Less Than
in 1916

German submarines prowling around
the North Sea and adjacent waters did
not interfere much with Scotch fisher
men, if catch statistics are of value
The Fishery Board of Scotland states
in its annual report that sea fish land
all to 3,O79,76S hundredweight, a de-
crease in quantity of 10 per cent only
compared with the 1916 total In value
the catch of last year exceeded that Of
the preceding one by 16 per cent
has increased in Scotland. Besides the
sea fish landed in 1917, shelltish
brought ashore totalled $18,O29,355 in
value
While the ranks of Scottish fisher
men were depleted to man the Royal
Navy, Scotland's fishing fleet included
4,609 vessels last year and crews to-
tailed 14,8O0 in number. The war has
brought about greater changes in the
fishing fleet. To minimize the danger
from submarines as much as possible
vessel owners discarded sails to
great extent and provided gasolene en-
gines for motive power
AS to the character of last wears
catch, tho Fishery Board reports the
quantity of herring landed at 10,172,346
hundredweight, valued at $3.50, ,349, the
the average price hundredweight be-
ing SLAP. Compared with 1916, there
was decrease Of 5 per cent in ouan-
tity, but an increase of 16 per cent in
value. In 1908 the quantity was 5000.
ia hundrcdweight, valued at $5, ,604 ,475.
the average price hundredweight be-
ing 9S cents. There was further de-
cline in the quantity of whiteiish land
ed. The value, however, reached the
record figure of $9.s39,172, compared
with $8,626,168 in 1915.
