In German Camp
EVERY BOOK IN PULPIT BEARS
INSCRIPTION, "A GIFT OF
AMERICAN RED CROSS

On the right bank of the river Spree
sc kilometers from Frankfort. lt IS
not hard to locate this former prison
camp. Just outside the city OF Berlin
The approach is not uninviting. There
are some fine old trees and we'll
made road, over which peasant carts
Jog in the early daylight. Over, the
entrance to the prison grounds there
is an ornamental arched gate, fashion
ed oddly out of birch trees. "Kriegsge-
fangenenlager," we read above the
arch-"war prison camp" The gate
way. we are told, was built by Russi-
an prisoners, many hundreds of whom
passed through it's portals to suffer
starvation and i'll usage at the hands
of their captors.
The little chapel just inside the
prison enclosure is quietest OF all. lt
has a friendly look. There is a group
of sparrows, those feathered cosmo-
politics, twittering on the doorslll,
holding heated arguments over an
edible morsel in the snow. They scat
ter frantically at the approach OF
human footsteps, carrying their dis
cussion and the crust to the tree tops.
There is a familiar symbol, still family
red. above the doorway, a cross snow
nowdered. Guilt by the American
ed Cross-1915."
There is an uncomfortable feeling IN
our throat as we push open the door,

ARMY DEATH LOSSES
NOW AND THEN

Editorial in the New York World
The battle death rate KILLED and
died of wounds) for the american ex-
peditionary army has been officially
given as 81 per cent for the whole
period of Americas participation IN
the war. The yearly rate is ST. per
cent, and with the disease death rate
of II per cent added, the total rate
averages IA per cent year.
Compared with searlier times IN
modern warfare, these death rates
show an extraordinary reduction in ar
my fatalities from disease and a heavy
increase in the battle death rate. But
the total death rate remains, curious
W.. about the same.
The official record of death losses
in the British expeditionary armies on
the continent during the Napoleonic
wars from 1898 to 1915 averaged al
most exactly z per cent, but more
than half of that rate must have been
due to disease The battle death rate
for the British at Waterloo IN not
more than two days of fighting was a
little over per cent, which was much
more than the average battle death
rate for a whole year at that time.
Our Civil war battle death rate on
the Union side per year was 3.3 per
cent, but the disease death rate was
6.5 per cent, or a total of 9.8 per cent
per year. Meade had $4,000 men at
Gettysburg and lost 1884 in killed
during the three days, or about 3 per
cent. But this apparently does not
include those who died later from
wounds.
On the other hand, and by way of IL
lustration from an extreme case, the
One Hundred and Seventh United
States infantry regiment, the old
New York Seventh, lost in killed and
dead from wounds in the single battle
of Sept. 20, last, against the linden
burg line about 400 men out OF at
most 5000 men in action, or around
IA per cent.
The great advance of invention IN
death-dealing appliances thus ap-
pears to have had only the effect of
making up in the battle death rate
what had been gained over former
times from a reduction in the disease
death rate. Battles now are more
continuous and bloody, but when the
old average rate of losses has been
reached the fighting stops for recu-
peration of forces as it did then.

The average business man thinks
he is a pretty busy, efficient fellow,

pity. See, he thinks, how sturdily !

couple of hours at lunch time telling
his friends and associates how busy he
is.
Some day, instead of leaving for
the office right after breakfast, let
him tarry round the house or apart
ment for half an hour and watch his
wife tackle her daily job. Then he
will see something in the way of real
business! The odd thing is that

HOME RULE BILL
READY FOR SENATE

Springfield, H., Feb. 27.-The Hi
nois Municipal League, which last
week had introduced in the senate a
bill repeating the referendum clause
from the act allowing cities to levy
20 mills on the dollar for corporate
purposes. instead of the Y mills al
lowed for many years, is having drawn
another bill aimed to give cities of
Illinois home rule in the matter %
public utilities. 1t is expected TO be
ready for Introduction either this week
or next
The bin will be different from any
OF the home rule bills at present in
the assembly in that it provides that
any city may elect to take over the
management of its public utilities or
referendum vote of the people. The
same city may at any time in the flu

nit the state utilities commission to
remain intact and viii at the same
time permit any city desiring so to
do to exercise home rule in its own
affairs. However, instead of the city
council determining utility action, Cho
people must decide for themselves
the ballot box.
The Municipal League will push this
measure, while the Illinois Home Ruiz
League, also composed of officials in
many cities and villages. Will demand
passage OF an out and out home rule
act for all cities, regardless OF refer,
endum and shearing the state public
utilities commission of large portion
Of its power.
A canvass of the house and senate
by officers of the Municipal League
shows little or no opposition to the
passage of the bill increasing the tax
rate, and it is expected TO go through
with an emergency clause at an early
date.

Think Of Yourself.

You cannot reach a high degree Of
success in anything without making
enemies.
Perhaps your lack of success has
been caused by this very feeling that
you desire to make and retain your
friends.
You might have improved your po-
sition many times, but you feared the
Ill feeling engendered in certain cir
cles with your advancement.
There are times in the lives of all
men when they must each choose be-
tween what Is for their own best in
terest and their friends, and this does
not mean that it is a case of taking
advantage of friends-merely dis
pleasing them.
Perhaps it is a principle of bust
ness rvolved-perfectly honest and
honorable, and to your financial credit
but what would your friends think
II you took the decisive step?
