A Soldier's Chances 8
■ 1
Great as the?4to)ger and large as the losses in the
aggregate, tnel^ndividual soldier has plenty of
chances of coming out of the war unscratched, or
at least not badly injured. Based on the mortality
statistics of the allied armies, a soldier's chances
.3,re as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming home to one
chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering from wounds
to one chance of dying from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb.
The chances are of those who return, with
their broad experience and demonstration of loyalty
and sacrifice, will have an hundred chances to one
of employment. The question is: What are you
doing to meet the reconstruction days?
MORAL—Save, sacrifice and help win the
war. A splendid plan: Deposit your funds in this
bank.

IP TRAVIS PUBLICITY
OFFICE, U. S. N. A.
Camp Travis, July 20,—The
army has just about decided that
even from a coldly material point
of view, the religious influence
now placed about the soldiers of
the new democracy is indispen
sable. Recognition that religion
for the soldier has a solid basis
as well as one in sentiment has
come as a result of the splendid
work of the Y. M, C. A. and the
Knights of Columbus with the
drafted men as they came into
Camp Travis, many ot them
(■way from home for the first
time in their lives.
The first few weeks of these
men after they enter the army
are spent in quarantine while in-
cipient contagions are "spotted"
and isolated. During this time of
confinement to their company
]
or two colored preachers in the
enlisted personnel, and on Sun-
days they have free reign to ex-
hort their brethren in uniform
after their own faith and manner.
Indeed the shouts and rhythmic
crooning of the old fashioned
"evangelists" can be heard for
blocks, broken into now and then
by such singing as only colored
people can do. They have their
own "Y" building with a "Y"
man of their own race to look af-
ter them, besides visiting speak-
ers who come to address them.
Religion has found its place in
the army. It takes the sight of
thousands of uniformed men
stepping gladly to the insoiring
strains of "Onward Christian
Soldiers" in brigade and regi-
mental re view to realize the full
appeal of it. And yet there is no
compulsion. For the army goes
on the theory that for the man

Phon° 152 Courteous Treatment
K. of C. men with his song books
or boxing gloves, and plain man-
to-man talks are literally God
sends. Men who are homesick
and despondent cheer up, and
men who otherwise might have
developed into sullen and slack
soldiers find a new stiffening for
their spines and a new keenness
for the work to which they have
been called. Some call that
"grit," some call it "pep", some
call it "morale". The name is un
important, but without the thing
itself yoo cannot bave a good
soldier. • • ^
Religious surroundings are not
left in the hands of the Y. M. C.
A. and K of C. exclusively. Of
course,the buildings of these or
ganizations are visited by speak-
er^ of almost every f*ith repre-
sented in tamp. But the church
es*of the city are carrying on
their more strictly denomina-
tional work in buildings on the
edge of the camp. The Baptists
have been particularly success-
ful in this work owing to the for-
tunate location of the specially
erected chapel on the west of
Camp Travis adjoining as it does
both the can tenement and Fort
Sam Houston. At this chapel }
the soldiers carry on the service-1
*' I
es almost of themselves, the pas-
tor being himself an ex-soldier.
As many as seventy-five men
from a single company have been
known walk a half mile after
their day's work in order to be
at a service.
The Army Post Camp serves
also as a religious center, it be-
ing-not uncommon on Sundays
for the Catholics to^hpld high
mass there in the mornings the
Episcopalians to have Holy Com-
munion later on, and the Metho-
dist minister to give an old time
camp meeting sermon in the
same building at night. Various
denomitations about the Army
Post have put forth special effort
to aid the drafted men of Camp
Travis in every way and to make
them feel at home in their church
services.
Downtown churches also ac-
commodate the soldiers in every
way, on week days as well as pn
Sundays. By way of illustration,
St. Mark's (Episcopalian) church
after righteousness there should
be no forced feeding. But for
the man who is so minded there
is every opportunity to worship
after the fashion that tits his own
conscience.
CHAS. A. TOSCH FOR
TAX COLLECTOR
To t|ie voters of Dallas county:—
Owing to the new and addition-
al duties imposed upon the Tax
Collector by the last Legislature,
such as ,registering of wopien,
and the collection of State High-
way tax on automobiles and oth-
er ooptor vehicles, the increased
duties lias demanded a consider-
able portion of my time and
made it impossible to personally
meet, ^is many of the poeple in
behatt.flS'my candidacy for Tax
Collector as I would like to have
done but I hope my inability to
do so between now and the short
time intervening before the date
of the primary election will not
operate against my interest as a
candidate and I believe it is your
right to expect and it is my duty
to first attend to the work of the
office.
I am very truly,
Chas. A. Tosch.

THE SOLDIER'S CHANCES
TWENTY-NINE TO ONE.
Great as the danger and large
as the losses in the aggregate

of chances of coming out of the
war unscathed, or at least not
badly injured.
Based on the mortality statis-
tics of the allied armies, a sol-
dier's chances are as follows:
Twenty-nihe chances of com-
ing home to one chance of being
killed.
Forty-nine chances of recov-
ering from wounds to one chance
pf dying from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a
limb.
Will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training, is
freer from disease In the army
than in civil life, an,d has better
medical care at the front than at
home. , '
In other wars from 10 to 15
men died from disease to 1 from
bullets; in this war one man die.*
from disease to every 10 from
bullets.
F"6r those pft>tff fighting mei
who do not escape scatheless,

gives protection to the wounded
