STATlSTlCIAN DECLARES
MORTALITY RATE AMONG
ALLIES DECIDEDLY LOW

PITTSBURG, March Edward
A. Woods, life insurance expert and
statistician, after an exhaustive study
OF mortality in the present war, has
compiled statistics to refute the
widely circulated statements that the
war is causing frightful loss of
life on the side of the allies.
Timely and scientific medical
treatment has reduced the rate of
life on the side OF the allies.
Timely and scientific medical
treatment has reduced the rate of
mortality in the present war to a
lower percentage than that of all
great wars" says Mr.. Woods.
More than ninety per cent of the
.oldicrs put under the cars of physi.
clans and surgeons have been able to
return to tLe firing line.
AN American soldier twenty
years OF age. who is now in the
trenches, has the' same chance of
being alive at the end of the war. If
it lasts year or so longer. as a man
of sixty in civil life has of living the
same length OF time"

RUSSIANS RATIFY
PEACE TREATY
With Central Powers BY Vote
of Four Hundred and Fifty
Three to Thirty; 0utgrowth
BoISheviki Steps

PETROGRAJS March l5.-All OF
the Russian congress OF the Soylets
meeting at Moscow today by a vote
of four hundred and firpy.thrcc to
thirty, decided to ratify the peace
treaty with the Central powers.
Ryasonov, a prominent Dolschyiki
theOrIst and representative of all the
professional unions, resigned from the
Bolshcyiki party after the vote was
cast. This action Of all the Russian
congress accepting the German ppaca,
clears the way for an announcement
Of the allied intentions rs regards the
Japanese Intervention in Siberia, and
gives Germany vast oppori unities for
political and economical penetration
of the former Russian empire.
The decision ffcongress is a cul-
mination OF the peace steps begun by
the Bolsheyiki in December
LONDON, March ia Reuter- dis
patch filed yesterday al Pelrograd
states that the BolshcviKi majority at
the Moscow conference decided by a
vote OF four hundred ana li.ty.thrce to
thirty to support the peace treaty.
The foregoing indicates that only
the Bolsheyiki delegates TO the Mos.
cow conference were represented in
the vote taken, in what might have
been majority OF the caucus Men
shcyiki and other factions which were
represented at the conference, but in
view Of the Bolsheviki strength it Is
impossible that their decision coulj
be reversed. The dispatches from
Russia are very incomplete.

TO GIVE SPECIAL ARMY
TRAINING AT u. OF N.

Provisions are now being made at
the university to train unit OF 100
to l5O men in specialized branches Of
army service in cooperation with the
war department. and it is thought
that the work will begin about May l.
Ben w. Johnson. federal agent for
industrial education with the federal
board Of vocational education, spent
yesterday in Reno in conference with
the war council OF the university fac
ulty, regarding the establishment of
training unit here.
Mr.. Johnson said that 25O,OOO men
trained especially as radio operators,
mechanics. chaulcurs, machinists,
wood workers and other branches are
needed badly by the war department
and il is the plan Of the department
to have these men trained at the uni
versities OF the country where special
facilities are provided.
Specially trained instructors will be
sent TO the universities where the war
department decided to locate units
and they will follow n syllabus sent
out by the war department in instruct
ing the men.
All men who enroll in the course
will be under strict military discipline
and in addition to the special training
will be given regular military drill.
II Is estimated by Mr.. Johnson that
eight weeks training for eight hours
each day is sufficient for the average
man to become proficient in any spc.
cial branch and therefore fitted to go
into regular army service. With units
established in all universities OF the
country it will only take a two or
three months course to supply the
army with the 25O,OOO men.
Mr.. Johnson is on an inspection
tour throughout the western states ir
preparation to mobilizing the uniycr
stiles for this work. The University
Of Utah is making preparations tC
take five or six hundred men. tht
University Of Chicago will take sever
al hundred and many of the big east
crn schools will train between OOO
and 1000. The government will pa!
all expenses for the work and tn,
universities are only expected to fur
nish the facilities.
II the unit is established here tn,
shops nt the high school and possibl!
the shops in Sparks will be used il
