Ratio of Casualties.

Granting that war ought to be outlawed
the preparedness advocate who has recog-
nized that conflict may be absolutely impos-
sible to avoid now has a new argument to
support his intention. The figures of casual
ties suffered by the central powers and the
allies during the world struggle show ratio
out of all proportion, but are explained by
calling attention to the circumstances under
which the contending armies were engaged.
Preparedness IS credited with having made
it possible for the central powers to suffer
a lower casualty ratio than that borne by
the allied soldiers.
The central powers had a total of 22S50,-
600 men under arms. They inflicted upon
their enemies 100000 casualties, almost
one casualty for every man in the service.
That is a high mark of efficiency in effect
ing damage AS against this the allies had
AZ, 18o0 900 men in the war, yet the central
powers had only 900 casualties or one
casualty on the enemy for nearly three allied
soldiers enlisted. 1t is bound to appear not
only were the central powers better able to
protect themselves in battle but that they
also could inhict more punishment per capita
than could the allied fighters United States
army experts, in studying the reports, have
concluded that the disproportionate results
were due to the intensive, universal system
of training given the German and Austrian
soldiers before the war started. Inasmuch as
one of the heaviest costs of war is that OF
human life it might be better national pol
icy to train men and have them fit for war
which may not be avoided. When prepared
ness can lower the rates of war casualties it
can also lower the ratio of physical suffering
and mental anguish This is something new
for the advocates OF unpreparedness to con-
slider

The Worlds Cotton Situation.
From the Manufacturers Record.

The world is discussing cotton to a great
er extent than ever before in history, tor the
world is realizing that it is facing an acute
situation which might endanger, as it has
never before been endangered, the supply OF
this stable SO essential to civilization.
The boil weevil has threatened the cotton
crop Manufacturers, bankers, producers and
consumers, alike, are studying the posslb1ll-
ties of lessened production in the south. Many
English financial authorities are claiming that
Great Britain cannot pay its indebtedness to
this country unless it can get cheap cotton
from America. Some writers say that it will
be impossible for England to pay high prices
for cotton, or high as compared with former
years; and continue to meet its promises to
pay to this government. Mighty influences
are at work to break down the price OF cot
ton.
For 100 years Europe has been carrying on
exactly the same kind of campaign to grow
cotton elsewhere and to break down the price
of American cotton. Its success in producing
cotton to meet its growing needs and the
needs of the world are no more promising
now than they were 100 years ago, nOtW1th-
standing all propaganda to the contrary.
Unfortunately many people in America, not
fully understanding the situation, are eager

A Word for Husbands.

The Portland Oregonian characterizes as
tommy-rot the suggestion of the Information
al Womans Suffrage Alliance that wives
should be paid wages, and in this connection
somewhat courageously speaks in defense of
the American husband The time has gone
by, the Oregonian asserts, when husbands
stnted their wives. ITO put it plainly" It
continues more husbands are stinting them
selves than there are husbands who
are niggardy with their helpmates. On any
street car, on any street, you will see men
whose apparent shabbiness is such, the evil
dences of whose toll is so patent that one
wonders what they are getting for their
wages. The answer is, for most Of them, that
they are maintaining homes" The Oregonian
probably understands that it isn't popular to
talk that way, but Notwithstanding, there is
a lot of truth in what it says. The Interna-
tional Woman's Suffrage Alliance might well
say word in behalf of wages for husbands.

crowds who throng the thoroughtares on

should be especially neat and clean 1t IS

nothing makes a better impression than a
well kept town. The cleaning of the streets
Saturday night, after the large crowds OF
the day have gone, will put the city in good
shape for Sunday, and stimulate the pride
of every citizen. Dirt and litter make bad
impression, beside being menace to health.
Citizens generally will appreciate it if the
proper authorities will give this matter at
