F525. while in time of peace his profession is the healthiest of all, when WM. comesit is transformed at once into one of the deadliest of all callings.

Under favourable conditions of peace

the mortality among soldiers is practically the least known, with it death inte of °“]Y 5 in ever! l0w.Compared with a sol- dier's life the placid dayseven of 3 ¢1¢|-gy.

iman are full of danger, for his death rate

is 11 in Iwo. or more than twice as great as that of the militant brother. Solieiggn die oil’ quicker still, 16 out of every 1000 °°l`¢hdin¢ln their bill of taxation" every Yeah Catholic priests die off even more .rapidlfeven than lawyers, at a rate of 13 P9-Y lunsahd cabllllll take their last fare _gli I-he yearly rate of 26 per 1000.

But the tables are completely turned

when the soldier turns fighter, and his normal mortality for a full year beconms his death rate for every m0n1,h_ This means that war is just twelve times as eadly for him as a life of peace and had racks.

During the first live months of the pre-

sent war 2418 English soldiers in South Africa were killed; 8747 were wounded' 3483 missing, and 1029 died from dismsef

no less than one man in every six has been

rumnv ~ubsci-ibeis who are res; ,put hors du combat during this short 3

time.

It is, however. scarcely fair to count the

full number of wounded as permanently placedout of the lighting, for of out 231 wounded otliciers 67 have been able to re. turn toduty at tbefront,and 705 out of 4583.

‘It is one of the risks of n.soldler`s career ` iv

for every 14.5 men. As the proportion of i

onned_ men are similarly fighting again '

S3 that at least one man out of six wound- 6 has been privileged to have ‘another shy’ at the enemy.

So far the death rate due to battle has reached the alarming total of 60.5 deaths P'-1' leer for every 1000 men employed," Bild lf We add deaths from diseae at- tributable to the campaign, the rate is 86.2 per 1000- Apart from epidemics, this is almost greater than any death rate re- °°l`defl» although in times of plague (as in "ery recent days in India) it has been far I exceeded. ‘ I The risk of deaths faced by-at soldier in

battle are more than six timesas great as me d9'“8¢rS of railway service. In 1898, 490 out of a.totalof53-1,141railwayemployes _

in the United Kingdom were killed in thel

discharge of their duty, and 4117 were in- Jured. The mortality was thus less than °“° Per 1000 as against the 61.5 of the S°1dl°I‘, while wounded soldiers are t0\1ghly three times as numerous as in- jured railway employes.

The soldier, however, every year faces

9' Slight-ly greater risk of losing his life -than Mr. Atkins, for in the mercantile marine 61.7 out of every 1000 sailors lost

their lives by shipwreck and accident.

The dangerous work of coal mining is approximately a third as fatal as the battlefield, for of every 1000 miners 23,2 re killed evey year in the performance .of their work.

' It is interesting to compare the propor. tion of officers to men killed and wounded ln the present. so far one oilicer has been

killed for every 9.5 men; and one wounded ,

ed and wounded, and is- followed by

men to officers is as nearly as possible 20 to 1, it is clear that the men have fared very much better than their leaders. In no battle of this war has the causalty list containedmore than 9 per cent, of the fighting numbers, unless we except Spion - Kop, a battle in which it is almost lm-` possible to ascertain the _ exact number I engaged.

The ratio has been far exceeded in many

of the great battles of history. AsSa- dowa the Austrians lost 14 per cent. of their forces in killed and wounded; at Gettysburg the opposing armies together lost over19 per cent.; at Waterloo 28 per ’ cent. were placed hors. du combat, and I- at Borodino the total loss of both armies A

was slightly greater. ` . Of all the battles in South Africa during

the present war that of Spion Kop was the most fatal, with aloss of 1729 men; Colence ranks second with 1123 men kill-

Magersfontein with 970, and Modder River with 4%. At Jacobsdal the 'English loss was least of all and only amounted to 12

00.

men; at Gaoerones-it was 32, ; and at Koodoosberg Drift 43. ‘

At Elandslaagte the English lost no

fewer than 9 out of every 100 of the men engaged; at Modder River 5.8, and at Graspan only 2.8.

At the~ battle of Modder River it was

stated that the Boers tired no fewer than 1,000,000 bullets, killing 72 and wounded i396men. Thus of every 2137 bullets 2136 failed to “find a. billet”-a fact which is eloquent rather of the Bocr's prodigality.

‘I MONTREAL, June 20.-At high mass in St. Ann’s Church on Sunday Rev. Father Scanlan preached of the evils of intem- perance, axd roughly handled _licensed grocers and saloon keepers who made a I practice of selling liquor on Sunday. Since he started a campaign against t-he illegal sale of liquor, he said, several threats had been made against him. No numberof threats would intimidate him in the least. To stamp out the unlawful sale of liquor was his ambition, a duty he had to perform and he was going to do it. Some, said Father Scanlan, had threaten- ed to stay away from church, or not con~ tribute to the support of the church, be- cause he had a number of dealers fined or deprived of their license on account of continued infraction of the law. “To these 1 say, keep away, the church will ` continue to exist without you,” ,he said.
