Thla la because soldiers ara first selected carefully and are then looked aftar far better than civilian are. But how about the death rates from "disease In tlinea of war? In the Mexican War 11 per cent of the American Army 41 ed and 14 per cent were Invalided on account of disease. Tn the Crimean War the deaths from disease amounted to about 26 per cent of the total force. In the Boer War the sickness death rate In the English army was 3.2, but four timet as many were Invalided home on account of illness. In the Rosso-Japanese War the Japanese lost only l.SS per 1000 from iilness. The Kuaaeans lost 4.11 per loot) from ill ness. Thla war lasted nearly two years. It appears that in recent wars the rate for deaths from sickness of armies' In the field is not only lower than that of civilian males of the same age, but Is also lower than the sickness-caused death rate of the same armies times of peaee. It would seem also that the hazard from sickness among troops In training In barracks is great er than that of soldiers in the field. By the time of the next war we will build better ventilated barracks with more floor space per soldier, with few er In a room and with better methods of preventing colds and coURhs. Where upon we may expect to harden and toughen our boys, accustomed as they are to hot rooms, without having a high death rate among troops In train ing. In the long ago It waa expeoted that SO soldiera would die from disease for every one killed by bullets. Then the rata fell to 4 to 1. The rate In the Cuban War was 12 to 1. In the Civil War 1 to 1. In the German army in the Franco-German War It was 14 to 17. In the Japanese army In the Russo- Japanese War It was S to 8. Our sol diers will have a low death rate from disease. The rate will be lower than that of the civilian population of the same average age. 6 Come W Will Not IB bat ay iieey SB Had Cywt. R I M. wr!re: "What In the dif ference between a wen and ft cyst?

The present struggle on the Western front is known to the German people as "The Kaiser's Battle," according to the Washington Herald, and for this reason the higher powers realize that "it would hardly do to allow the Kaiser's name to be associated with a colossal' military failure as it would be if the present struggle were allowed to rest where it now stands." And so German legions fight desperately on in the hope of win ning a decision. That their hopes are futile is the firm conviction of the Allied amies as evidenced by Premier Clemenceau's assertion that "come what may they will not break through," and the assurance of General Foch that "most glorious hopes are permissible." To these assurances is added the statement of Lloyd George that "the French and British are buoyed with the knowledge that the great Republic of the West will neglect no effort which can hasten its troops and its ships to Europe."

Ssrltaeea Death Roll la A raay. IN all the wars prior to those of 100 years ago it was the rule that ar mies in the field were wiped out by disease. The commanding General, af ter a few flghta. would be compelled to stop his campaigning and gather to gether a near army. In the main the completely paralysing diseases of that day were Insect borne typhus fever, plague, malaria and yellow fever being good Illustrations, t In the Civil War, after one campaign of a few montha the Army had to be recruited to strength practically complete wiping out did not oucur. The great destroyers of that time were typhoid and dysenteryfood-borne diseases. None of these diseases now seriously threaten our Army. The indications are that the death rate from disease of the Army In the field will be leaa than that of the civilian population of the aame age. According to the United States life tablea the death rate of men SO to 20 years of age in the registration area ta per luud. For the entire country it Is higher, being not far from t. In 1W the death rate of the United States Army was 2.1. The death rate from sickness In other armies la that year were: Prussia. 1: Great Britain, Austria, l.t; France. I.S: Spain. 4.5; Japan. : . In all the armies except tnat of Great Britain the rata of dis charge of sick soldiers Into civilian life was much higher than that prevailing In our Army.

To confer with the newly organized Fine Grove Elevator Com pany and all other farmers of the Klamath district who may be Inter ested In the bulk handling of grain, L. M. Jeffera, grain aupervisor of Portland, will arrive Saturday nleht and ad dress a meeting at Pine Grove School- house, seven miles east of Klamath Falls, according to County Agricultur ist Agent IL R.
