the soldiers, furnishing entertain
ment and canteen supplies and do
ig what It could to tighten the to-
dium OF the ocean voyage.
The Y, NJ. c. A. also. at the re-
quest OF the government, conducted
the canteen, 1t took this against It's
own Judgment at the request OF the
commanding general of the army as
a patriotic duty In order to relieve
II, 900 soldiers and officers for their
primary duty as fighters. It was
greatly hampered by lack OF supplies,
the government being able to deliver
only about half the tonnage II prom
ised. In order to make good this
deficiency chocolate and biscuit fac
tories were operated In France and
such quantities of, goods were pur-
Lchased there as could be obtained.
Railroad and motor transportation
was also totally inadequate to move
supplies to the points where needed,
The criticism OF the Y grew large
ly out OF the fact that canteen sup
plies were insufficient. The charge
OF exhorbtant prices was unfoanded.
Prices were slightly higher than
government prices because the Y, NJ.
C. A. had to pay freight and hand
ling charges; but the canteen was
not run for profit. on the contrary,
was a source of loss from the outset
to the association. "A confusion ot
coins has also led to misundertand'
ing. The French centime Is abre-
waited cent. It's value was little
less than one-flfth OF a cent. Many
men undoubtedly confused 1t
the American cent ana thought they
we're paying so cents, for instance
for bar OF chocolate. which was ac
tually costing them about . cents
Many men doubtless expected tina

ever, that the canteen service woul,

OF fact. it~could not be. The valu
OF goods handled on the French rail
roads alone in eight months begin
ming June. 1918, was over 800
600, 900. II would have required a
least half billion. probably near
billion dollars to have maintined
free canteen service for the entir
army. The money contributed wa

several millions OF dollars OF cantee
supplies were given away entirel

THE FRIGHTFUL ARCTIC

The Arctic regions seem to have
been misunderstood. They are not
bleak and barren, in the sense that
most people suppose. They are Won
derfully fruitful, or may be made so
by a little of the care which man has
lavished on other parts of the earth,
says an authority.
No less an authority than Stefans-
son, the scientific explorer, says that
the Arctic and sub-Arctic lands can
provide great quantities of food, par
tiularly wool, meat and milk. He
has gone so far as to lay before the
Canadian parliament a plan for in
PRODUCING and domesticating on a
big scale the animals necessary for
this purpose.
They are the reindeer, which fur
nishes milk and meat, and the musk
OF, which furnishes wool. There
are from 100000 to 100000
square miles, he says, in Arctic
North America, where ordinary cat
tie cannot live, but which can pro-
vide grazing ground for these ami
mails the year around. He says that
Arctic Canada alone will support
1000, 900 reindeer, which number
would produce as much meat every
year as 14,O00,0 900 sheep.
1t is no untried theory that Mr.
Stefansson submits. The United
States government introduced more
than 900 reindeer in Arctic Alaska
20 years ago, and they have beer
increasing rapidly ever since, the
herds doubling their numbers ever,
three years under Eskimo care ant
every two years under the care o.
white men. There is a herd OF 10,
900 reindeer in Lapland owned by
group OF American capitalists. From
this herd there were sold last yea.
in the American market 1900 car
casses OF $50 pounds each, at price
considerably higher than were pai'
for domestic beef.
The Canadian government seem
much impressed with the idea. Th
railway men say that transportatio
can be arranged. There will surel
be no difficulty about the refrigert
tion problem. We may yet see th
whole Arctic region, and most Of tn
great Antarctic continent too, ut
lized for the benefit OF man.
Alaska offers opportunities ft
much development along these line
and the United States should sure
not lag behind Canada in the matte

The war department, apparently,
is making slow progress in securing
recruits for overseas service. As an
extra inducement they have made a
new ruling providing that discharged
soldiers and marines may enlist for
direct duty from now until fall. at
which time they will be returned to
the United States and discharged.
Here is fine opportunity for those
who did not get to take a hand in
the big scrap to see war-torn Europe.

 set himself with those who were of

 We must never forget, that "the

preceding year, 8 per 100000, and was also greater than the rate for any earlier year covered by the Blu reau's records. with the exception Of 1907.
 Deaths from automobile accidents and injuries in 1917 totaIed 6.724, or S.9 per 1OO.OO9 population This rate has risen rapidly from year to year, but not so rapidly as the rate of increase in the number of auto mobiles in use.
 Accidental drowning caused 5.55O deaths, or 7.4 per 100000. This rate is considerably less than that for any preceding year since 1910, and is also decidedly below the average for the decade 19O1-191O.
 Deaths due to accidental asphyzia- ton (except in conflagrations) num- bered 3.375, or 4.5 per 100000. This rate is somewhat higher than for any year during the preceding ten-year period.
 Mine accidents and injuries result ed in 2,23 deaths, or 3.5 per 100, ,OOO. This rate is greater than the rates for the preceding three years and for 1912 but is lower than those for other recent years.
 Deaths due to injuries by ve- hicles other than railroad cars, street cars, and automobiles numbered D. 326, or 3.1 per 10000 The rate from this cause has declined somewhat during the past ten years, probably because of the decrease in the use Of hOrse-drawn vehicles.
 Deaths resulting from street-car accidents numbered 2,277, cores bonding to a rate of 3 per 100, 900. This rate is greater than those for two years preceding and is the same as that for 1912, but is less than the rates for other recent years.

Careless America Is
 Growing More Careful

This Is the outstanding feature Of an advance summary of mortality statistics for 1917 received by the National Safety Council from the Bu- reau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce. Briefly, the summary indicates that as a result of the accident prevention movement the total of accidental deaths in the death-rec.strat area of continental United States durinS 1917 was reduced by approximately $500 as compared to the previous year.
 The total number of deaths caused by accidents during 1917 as reported in the summary was 53,544 as against 60,O72 during the previous year. In as much as the death-registrat area of the country takes in only 70 per cent. of the population it is ap- parent from the report of the Census Bureau that more than 76,OOO per sons were killed in accidents through out the United States in that year.
 The report received by the Ma tional Safety Council summarizes the causes of accidents as follows:
 ''The greatest number of deaths charged any one accidental cause 11,114, or 14.S per O,OO9-is shov, Il for falls. The rate for this cause varies but slightly from year to year.
 Next to falls, the greatest num- ber of accidental deaths-S,649, or 115 per 100, ,OOO-resulted from rail road accidents and injuries. This rate is greater than the corresponding rates for 1914, 1915, and 1916 GOT, 9.9. and 11.S. respectively but is low CT than that for any year from 1906 the first year for which deaths from this cause were reported sep ara teIy-to 1913. inclusive.
