VICTIMS OF PEACE

Eighty thousand dead over quarter
Of a million seriously injured. This
startling statement does not REFER 10
our losses in the world war. but gives
tha results OF accidents in this country
in one year. 1t IS another accident that
there - no wide divergence between
,hesc nEures and the losses which the
war has caused US in the time from tho
declaration to the ending or host'li''es'
Thus a comparison and contrast IS
provided which shows more forcibly and
more tmpressively than a long d'sserta-
ron the enormity Of the crime OF which
wa have 70 plead guilty from year 10
wear. without extenuat!ng circum-
stances.
For in the overwhelming majority OF
cases. estimated by experts at ninety
percent, these losses are TO be ascriosd
TO accidents which might have been
avoided and can be traced morally II
net according to tho letter or the law
to criminal negligence.

course. ALWAYS occur in spite OF all pre-
cautionary measures. especially IN the
industries. But the far greatest num-
Der can be charged to carelessness and
imprudence. and nearly all Of these
could be eliminated. II tho parties con-

ancrs is not sufficient, the workman

sake and that OF his comrades he must
use the greatest caution in handling
tools and machinery.
Ignorance indifference and selfish
lack Of consideration are tho three hu-
man factors which claim tho most vic

They are hard TO cXttrpate. but they

To the casual observer the garage
was charming twostory house fol-

was separated by strip Of woodland
and formal garden. The garage

at one end and at the other were a

"They may be agents. but not that

from fear or vexation at my refusal
to take his story seriously.
"If anything tangible happens,
