49, 49 KILLED IN WAR
AND 224,O89 WOUNDED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Final figures
on army casualties in the world war are
contained in the annual report of Sur
geon General Ireland, made public to-
night, showing "a, 249 killed and 224 ,0S9
wounded.
The proportion of killed to wounded
is about the same as in the civil war,
although mortality from gunshot wounds
in the world war was only S.26 per
cent, as compared with 1876 per cent in
the civil war. The report said this indi-
Gated that improved surgical and sani-
tary methods in the recent war had
saved the lives of 534 per cent. of all
American soldiers wounded
or every 1000 men sent to France
10 were admitted to hospital as the
result of battle casualties, the report
says, and nearly seven men out of every
1000 died as the result of wounds. In
fantry losses were heaviest, PISS out
of every 1000 men of that arm being
wounded and 1917 killed The Signal
Corps was next, with 52.22 wounded
and 3.13 killed per thousand.
Deaths from wounds totalled 1851,
or slightly more than returned to duty,
the remainder being invaded home for
treatment or discharge. Shell wounds
were by far the most deadly, the report
said. adding that no American soldier
lost both arms and both legs in the world
war or both legs or both arms and one
other extremity. Eleven lost both legs
at the thigh, one both legs at the knee,
nine both legs below the knee. one both
feet and three one arm above the elbow
with one leg at the thigh. More than
400 soldiers lost a part of one or more
extremties. sixty-six lost the sight of
both eyes, forty-four lost the partial
sight OF both eyes and 644 lost one eye
or the sight OF one eye.

PURITAN SUNDAYS
OPPOSED BY K. OF G.
Nationwide Drive Is Launched
Directly Against Efforts Of
Lords Day Alliance.

The knights of Columbus have started
nationwide campaign against the plan
of the Lords Day Alliance for a re-
vival of the Puritanical Sabbath, 1t be-
came known yesterday.
1--WE already have received numerous
offers on the part of both men and
women to campaign under Knights of
Columbus auspices against the radical
proposals." said William j. Mckinley,
supreme secretary. Some have even
offered to contribute to campaign fund
to be used in counteracting the blue law
advocates. The organization will take
no part In paid activity against blue
laws, as that course is no less censuraple
than that of those who accept pay 10
agitate for them. 1t is a matter OF
patriotic conscience. Common sense
forces us to pity the man who VIII ac-
cept wages for his attempts to force ms
own views of righteousness on the pui
lie. America has common sense and Will
reject any programme calling for organ
lied and legalized unhappiness."
Not all of those prominent in the
Lords Day Alliance entirely synpathize
with the radical aims for strict Suil-
day observance. as outlined by the Rev.
Harry l.. Bowlby. its national secre-
tary.
II do not agree wholly with DR.. Bowl
by in the methods he proposes to secure
additional recognition of the American
Sunday" said the Rev. DR.. W. w. T.
Duncan of Brooklyn. ITO make Sunday
travel and Sunday newspapers con-
spicuous point of attack gives ground
for the unwarranted assumption that a
Puritanical observance of the Sabbath
is desired.
1T is for the preservation of Sundays
from greedy commercialism. which hopes
by raising the cry of petty Puritanism'
to obscure the issue and line its pockets,
that we are working for"
1--WE are not advocating blue law
Sunday, but a red. white and blue Sun
day, known as the American Saba&th. ="
said Mr.. Bowlby, yesterday. Il am in
formed that a prominent minister in
Brooklyn will discuss next Sunday what
we mean by an American sabbath. There
are certain interests and certain news
papers who have tried to make us appear
ridiculous, but my answer to critics is
that sixteen church denominations are
behind the movement for Sunday OBJ
servance, and in their national gath
erings a number of these churches have
gone on record in favor OF more strict
observance of the Sabbath"
The Rev. Bowlby admitted he had re-
ceived letters denouncing the plan OF
the Lords Day Alliance.

BLUE LAWS ARE SHY
A CONGRESS LEADER
Professional RefOrmers Fail
to Obtain Fighter for Their
Latest Plans.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C., Nov. 20.


Washington. ID. g., Nov. 20.
A thorough search through the Capitol
and Congressional buildings to-day re-
vealed that the professional reform or
CARNATIONS have not been able to induce
any member of either House of Congress
TO lead n fight in that body for any OF
, their demands for blue Sunday legisia-
ton or laws providing strict regulation
of amusements.
Some members have introduced bills
at the request of the reform organiza-
tons. but they have no intention or even
asking a committee to consider the
measures AS for leading a general re-
form movement in Congress every one
interviewed laughed at the impossibiiity
OF the suggestion.
Veteran Members of Congress, such as
Champ Clark and Speaker Gillett, say
there is not chance for any or the e@-
IRENE reform measures becoming law or
even receiving serious CONSIDERATION at
least for long time.
Several Representatives have the
habit of introducing bills with by re-
quest after their title, which usually
means that the Representative does not
intend TO sponsor everything that is In
the bill Others introduce bills oy re-
quest. but politely leave those words or
the printed copy
Such is the case with Senator Jones
Washington, who two or three times
has introduced the blue Sunday bill. He
made It clear to-day that he has no IN
tention of seeking to have the legislation
passed In fact, he admitted he never
had read the measure very carefully and
did not know all its provisions. He
said he always had introduced the bill
"by request" even though 1t was not
officially so recorded.

HOUSING SHORTAGE
TO BREED SOCIALISM
DR.. Copeland Gives Warning
to Convention Of Health
Officials.

Too Many Garages and Too
Few Homes Being Built,
He Points Out.
URGES GOVERNMENT AL

DETROIT. Nov 30.-Unless the United
States Government acts to relieve the
housing shortage in the larger cities
there is imminent danger that socialism
will prevail in the country, said DR..
Royal S. Copeland, Health Commission
er of New York city, before a confer
ence of Health Department officials of
larger cities, that opened here to-day.
THE shortage of homes is a menace
to the health, morals, citizenship and
future of our country and unless capt.
tai provides the means to build homes
the demand that the Government con-
struct them will become irresistible, and
that will be a step toward socialism, +"
DR.. Copeland said
This country is so afraid of social
ism that it's officials dare not advance
remedies to meet the needs of the people.
/ am for that kind of socialism that
would improve public health and
morals"
Declaring that the slums of New York
city. wiped out by Jacob Riis and Theo-
dore Roosevelt. were being reopened, DIR.
Copeland said city officials of New York
were to blame for the condition.
I'VE wonder why Bolshevsm crops
out in this country" DR.. Copeland con-
tinued. THE answer is found in the
housing SITUATION III many OIL our large
Cities
The housing situation is a health
problem, the speaker said, adding that
the question must be brought so forcibly
to the attention of Congress that the
Federal Government will act and pro-
vide means TO erect sufficient homes to
insure the comfort and health of per-
sons in the cities.
Dr. Copeland urged the creation of a
housing board in each community that
would decide whether q contemplated
building was essential.
There are too many garages and
moving picture theatres and too few
homes being built" he said.
