STORIES OF TIE. WAR Egyptians Who Fought Under 6rtisF
 Fiao.

Ronald Lindsay, charge d'affaires of the British embassy, has made public a letter to Grover C. Hall. associate editor of The Montgomery Advertiser, Montgomery, Ala. in reply to an in quiry by Mir. Hall as to how many Egyptian soldiers fought under the British flag during the war and what was the number of casualties suffered by them ?'
 Tine inquiry, it is said. was prompt ed by the brief recently presented by Joseph W. Folk. former governor of Missouri to the foreign relations com mittee of the United State. senate. in which Mr Folk called attention ito the fact that 100000 Egyptian troops fought on the side of the allies
 "The British government" wrote Mir. Lindsay. who was in Egypt all through the war. has carefully avoid ed destroying Egyptian soveignty. Egyptian soldiers also serve under the Egyptian and not under the British flag. The Union Jack does not fly in Egypt except over the British military establishments in the country, else where the distinctive Egyptian flag is displayed. To answer your question literally, no Egyptian soldier joined the British colors.
 "Of course this is only partial statement. In February. 1915 when the Turkish army attacked Egypt. a battery of Egyptian Artillery joined the British force defending the line of  developed just the opposite this bat tery the members of which managed their guns in an ble manner and as sisted in the reDulse of the enemy. I believe they lost two killed and half a dozen wounded
 No other Egyptian armed forces were in action during the recent war. but later on, three or four Egyptian battalions guarded lines of cornmuni- cation in Sinai while General Allenby was conducting his campaign in Syria, and an Egyptian detachment was at one time in the Hadjaz. Neither of these forces was ever under fire.
 ''In addition to this, large numbers of Egyptians were enrolled in Labor and Transport Corps auxiliary to the British forces. These men were en- listed for short terms of three to six months and did the manual and un- skilled labor for General Allenby'S forces. As such their services were of high value. and they released for the fighting line men who. otherwise would have been engaged in the rear.
 How many of these men passed through the Labor Corps cannot be stated, but the total enlistments at one moment amounted to between S0000 and 90,oG0. or the Labor Corps men some came under fire while digging trenches and transporting stores and ammunition near the front and cas- ualties were suffered. I cannot give the figures authorita lively. but l g HeYe there were altogether about 900 killed and wounded during the four years of the war"

SOUND ADVICE,

What cannot fail to be regarded as a proposition that should make q strong appeal to those to whom it is presented is the statement made by the branch of the Federation of Labor in New York state when it declares that prevailing conditions are all wrong. that all the people of the country should unite in bringing about a change and that unless this is done it will result in disaster unparalleled in history.
 The committee of this New York state body not only believes but urges that there should be a suspen- sion of all strikes for a period of six months. the truce to be on the basis Of existing conditions, that the execu- tive committee should be made the judge of the necessity of strikes, that there should be an increase in pro- duction by intensive methods simi- lar 10 war time and that the efforts to reduce the cost of living should be given every support in order to get the country back on stable basis
 This shows recognition of the fact that the high cost of living is due to the high cost of production as well as a decrease in production. To continue the calling of strikes means to fur ther decrease production and to con tinue to add to the cost of production simply means the continuance of the uncertainty that already exists. The labor committee has made most val uable suggestion which should receive hearty endorsement. It is in keeping with the attitude of some of the na- tional labor leaders and it will be through the adoption of such sane suggestions and the living up to them that the desired improvement and re- lief will be obtained. It is time that common sense rather than hysteria r1reNaiIad

 And what is true of soft coal Is equally true of anthracite. There the gain made in the weeks report is not as large but it is appreciable amount ing to about 100000 tons. so that comparing it with a normal year there seems to be little reason for believing that it will be impossible to supply the countrys needs if transporta- ton is not too badly handicapped by having it restricted to a few rather than a number of menths.

PEACE TIME CASUALTIES.

We are appalled, by the reports that show the large number of cas- ualties connected with any war be- cause all eyes are eentered upon such conflicts. and casualty reports usually contain large numbers. but we seldom stop to give consideration to the number of casualties that are caused at the same time throughout this country in peaceful pursuits. This is stFikingly illustrated by the sta tement from the National Safety
 council to the effect that the casual ties from accidents in this country during the 19 months that this coun- try was participating in the war in Europe were mere than twice as great as the casualties among the American troops. This seems incredible be- cause we see such facts set forth in that manner infrequently but it can not fail to bring about the realization of the fact that while there is need of preventing war and all that goes with it there is likewise equally press ing need of doing our utmost for the checking of accidents.
 And this is particularly true when it is realized that a large proportion of the accidents are preventable and needless. When we stop to consider that there were approximately 10000 persons killed in accidents in this country last year, with about 50.00o
 killed in the streets and homes and 20. GOO in the industries, and an in vestigation shows that 5c.000 of the deaths were avoidable it makes one shudder but at the same timeit becomes evident that regardless of what is be- ing done to improve such conditions there still remains much to be done. And it is not solely organizations working to that end, those in! charge of industries and those delegated to enforce the laws alone who should shoulder this responsibility but each and every individual With all work ing for greater safety results would be different
