Soldiers Much Safer
Than in Civil War

Surgeon General Gorgas says in
the March American Magazines:
General Gorgas's reply was
quick, clear AMI confident.
!" There seems to be an impress
sion in this country that to fight in
the present war means almost sure
death to a soldier AS matter of
fact, both in the danger from dis
ease and in the deadliness of the
actual fighting there is no COM
parison between the war in Europe
to-day and our Civil War.
"'In the Civil War our mortality
was something over five per cent
for the four years 1t is true that
the French armies suffered almost
exactly thesssame death losses dur
ing the first five months of this
war. But people must not forget
that those first five months were
the most disastrous period, especi-
ally for the Allies, who were I'M
prepared in every way.
"By 1916 the French had reduced
their mortality to only about two
per cent for twelve months! That
is a rate of only twenty per thous-
and. Even in civil life a rate Of
thirteen to fifteen per thousand is
usual. Therefore it is evident that
the additional war risk is surpris-
ingly low.
"After a three days'battle in our
Civil war--such a battle as Gettys-
burg, for instance "a third of the
men engaged were left on the field
You cannot find in the present con-
fct any three days as disastrous as
that. ,"

AGO. 900 for shipbuilding, 100, 900 to

portation, and 250,00O for the
manufacture of munitions. This
will inevitably take many more
men from the stores. The more
intensive phase of the delivery
campaign is intended to help the
stores give up these men in an
orderly way.

It has always been our OPINION
that when food conservation efforts
reach extremes that border on a
fright propaganda, i'll effects follow
the purpose of the government has
been to prevent waste and hoard
ing, but many of the scare head
lines and calamity preachment have
not tended to promote these ends.
A people who will not listen to rea-
son and respond to patriotic appeals
are given to a sel6shness which
finds "expression" in caring for
No. /, and boarding food essentials
rather than distributing them is a
result of two much calamity howl
ing.
The fact that these extreme pre-
cautions and strict regulations are
measures of prevention, designed
as a precaution against distress and
shortage, is all lost on this selfish
class, and, constituting all those
"starvation" articles literally, the
,snokehouse and granery remain
filled with supplies for a full year
or two, products which ought to
be distributed, put on the market.
Just how to make this class "loosen
up," we don't know, but certainly
not by repeated warnings against,
and predictions of, future want and
famine.

1t is a fact that the average res
