RAILROAD INIirPTFc MORE THAN WAR Taking ,e mortality figures of the ,C, army for tho full three year, ' Hie war, B1.r ,tulmon( a HlultHtlclun. prove that our boys who ro to flKlit I.. Kuropo will not run anywhere near the risks of b,.r.g klllml or wounded thttt popular fear unI ImaKlnatlon havo conjured. Mr. Ilabson finds thut about lf.o men out of a IhouHund aro wounded and about (10 men out of every thou and are killed. In other words, tho odd are about seven to one agulnst tbo Individual soldier being wounded, und 1 to one against IiIh death. Thehci aro tbe French percentages for tbo entire period of tho warj but under present conditions, whero man power Is being better conserved by tlie uIIIch, only about one In 30 is be ing killed. In point of fuct, tho soldier's chance of being wounded is but little Kreuter than tliut of tbo ruilway em ploye In tho United Stutes of being Injured. The rullways employed 1,710,296 men in 19H, rikI tbo records of the InloTHtatn commerce commission show that In the year 166,212 of them were Injured In accidents of one kind and nnotber. One in seven wounded in wnr. about one in ten Injured In railroading. Hut tbe total number of railway employes on which thl:i computation Is based Included many not engaged In hazardous service, such as office clerks, telegraphers, etc. Official sta tistics at hand do not segregate the accidents by clusses, but it seems probable that the cbancea of a rail road trainman being injured are sub stantially as great as of r. soldier be ing wounded. Tho further reusnurlng fact Is re vealed that In war only ono man in GOO loHes a limb a chr.nco no great er tlii'.n In hazardous conditions at homo. War at best is dreadful enough, but the concentrated news reports, dealing necessarily with high per centages of bnttlo losses In the more critical struggles of tho campaigns, have given many a misleading con ception of tbo soldier's chances. In Ih'J h.".iiio way, news of the sinking of an ocean liner, with tho drowning of soveral hundred people, may give us a grossly exaggerated Iden about tho du nuer of ocean travel. Ex.
