WThat are a soldier's chances in this
great war? This question has been
debated for many months, but until
now little reliable information could
be had.
Because of the many Canadian cas-
ualty lists the impression seems to
prevail that the American soldiers
who go into action “over there” will
stand little chance of coming bacl^
home alive or uninjured.
The military hospital in the prov-
ince of Quebec, Canada, has kept an
account of the manner in which the
Canadian troops fared on. European
battlefields. The following statistics,
based on casualty lists from the time
the Canadians first weat into action
to the present time, were compiled
by the military hospitals commission
in Canada:
The man who goes to the front has
29 chances to come home, as against
ohe that he will be killed.
He has 98 chances to recover from
a wound, against two that he will die
because of wounds received In bat-
: tie,.- ;
L “ There is one chance in 500 that he
will lose an arm or a leg.
It is explained, also, that in this
war only one man dies from disease,
as against from 10 to 15 who fell
victims of various diseases in other
wars. This estimate is proportional.
But 10 per cent of the Canadian
soldiers disabled on the baltlelielas
are rendered unfit physially to en-
gage in their former occupations.
There ought to be cause for general
encouragement in these figures.—
