C. witnessing the most dire poverty iu the ranks of a large portion of the world's inhabitants that can be Im agined. We are informed occasionally that millions of the people are hungry; that tens of thousands have no home, no houses I mean, to live In. Often we are confronted w ith an unemploy ment problem, thousands of able, wil ling workers tramping from place to place seeking an opKrtunity to earn a living. Often we have what Is call ed a panic, that drives men into the lowest marts of trade in search of the few things that are necessary to keep life Intact, and as we said at the out set, all of these conditions have been, and are, mixed up with the greatest producing period of the world's his tory. Evidently there Is some very specific reason why such a picture is possible under such circumstances. There must be somewhere In the great machine called modern clvtli xation a "screw loose," and If such is the case then all lovers of prncress, and all people who are well-wishers of the development of Ideal world conditions ought to search and find this loose screw and tighten it up.

To demonstrate this fact the divi sion Is made between land, labor and capital, the part going to land being termed "rent," and the amount so determined is shown to constitute a drain that reduces the amount that the labor and the capital employed can get.

Reporter. for $75,000, and it was such to them for they had made a clean profit, less the small tax, of $49.9225.000 and had done absolutely nothing to earn It. In other words, the State of Al abama made these men a present of $49,925,000. Some one may ask how do you make that out? Well. It's this way: If these owners do not wish to work those coal beds themselves, they will rharge the market price for them to the men who do wish to use them, and whether they use them or sell them will make no difference to the users of the coal, since a price will be fixed on the mine's output that will give the owners a legal rale of div dend on the $50,000,000 that specu lation says the property is worth. If this rate la six per cent, then the us ers of the coal will pay three million dollars more each year for the coal than it would otherwise have cost them. Therefore working men in North Carolina who use some of this coal will pay their part of the rent on the Alabama mines, and it will not make any difference If these North Carolina workers live in their own home, they pay rent just the same. This illustration shows us what is meant by the term "rent," and It ap plies to everybody because it's a charge levied against both labor and capital for the privilege to use the natural creations of God. You may buy your home If you can. In your case then you are paying your rent at the time of taking pos session. If you can't buy. you take possession at so much per annum, and pay your rent in installments. The in stallment plan is worse than the th- er, but it Is no less a charge for' the privilege to use land, and Is. in the real meaning of terms, no worse rent than the other. Novus Homo. publications of the War Risk In surance Bureau, will give the public some idea of the immensity and dif ficulty of the work that was before the nation, and more particularly be fore the Bureau during the World War: That some delays have occurred, and difficulties arisen, will, not l wondered at. when even some of the "easiest difficulties" if I may so call them, are seen. Noihing has been said iu thu article of the matter of addresses, though the number of let ters that come that have no address at all on them to the Bureau is enor mous. NothiDg is said here of the illegibility of some of the letters re ceived. It takes experts to read them, and the Bureau has these ex pens and patiently wades through every letter in the endeavor to do something, If possible, for the soldier, or if may be his relatives, who are In want or in need of assistance. Nothing is said of the letters in vari ous foreign languages that came in in every mail. The Bureau is man aged by the most competent men that have ever taken on an immense and unknown difficult task. They have given it their best thought, and the results have been more than gratify ing to those who thought out this excellent manner of avoiding the ter rible confusion that has hitherto arisen in managing the finances of the soldiers who go out to war for their country and for their country's flag. To get sixteen thousand absolutely competent employes is, we might say an. impossibility, so, therefore, some times mistakes occur; but the Chiefs of Bureau, are so well selected and so competent themselves that they have virtually, by the splendid sys tem employed eliminated error, and obtained the highest possible grade of work from their sub - ordinates. There are now ten thousand employes In the Bureau, and the work Is vir tually up to date, so that the desks are cleared every day, and answers written to correspondence the day thaftt la received. It has taken pa tient, careful work to accomplish this, and at the same time reduce the num ber of employes, but It has been done successfully, and the Director, Mr. R. G. Cholmeley Jones, has accomplish ed a task which Is almost super human. In Its Infinity of detail. What is there in a name?" Here is something that there Is. The War Risk Insurance Bureau is up against it "good and hard" In deciphering and finding out what some hiero glyphics mean that are written by the relatives of soldiers and in many cases by the soldiers themselves. In the first place some of the names are In themselves peculiar. Here are some of them: Mih Gosh, Asad Ex perience Wilson, Velvet Couch W 111 Swindle.

The Johnston family was loyal to the core, for no less than fifty-three thousands of them went to fight tne foe, and of these there were over two thousand William Johnston and there were also two thousand John John stons that were listed as fighters.

Since the Bureau was started an average of four miles of checks have been mailed every day and two thou sand and five miles of checks have been mailed since October 6th, 1917. That Is to say the checks if laid one against the other would have reached tnat distance. ii me insurance applications re ceived In a day were to be Joined that is to say those received in an average day, it would be a belt one and one-half miles long. Some of the Statistics as to the health of the recruits from the vari ous Stales is of interest. In Min nesota, Iowa. Kentucky, Arkansas, North and South Dakota, Wyoming. Nebraska, Kansas. Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas seventy-five men passed out of each hundred examined. North Carolina. Mississippi. Alabama, Louisiana and Florida sixty-seven passed out of each hundred. In Or gon. Idaho. Nevada. Utah, Virginia, Tennessee. South Carolina and Geor gia sixty-two men passed and only fifty-four out of the rest of the States, which include Washington, Arizona. California. Colorado. Mich igan. Vermont. Maine, New Hamp shire, Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. Some may care to know the num ber of men that were killed altogeth er in the Great War. Here are the figures: Russia. 1,700,000; Germanv, 1.600,000; France. 1.385,000; Eng land, 900,000; Austria, 800,000: Italy, 364.000; Serbia and Montene gro, 125.000; Belgium, 102.000; Roumania, 100.000; Bulgaria, 100, 000; United States, 50,323. Greece, 7,000; Portugal. 2,000; which is a grand total of 7.485,000 lives lost. This includes those who died of wound! also. A comparison of the disease and battle deaths of the Mexican. Civil "War, Spanish-American and World War a j far as the United States Is concerned show as follows, the deaths being per thousand men: Mexican war, disease 110, battle 12 to 15; Civil war, disease 65, battle 32; Span ish-American war, disease 26, battle 4; World war, disease 18. battle 53. It will be noted that 1 it every other war the deaths by disease far exceed ed those by wounds In battle. The figures here as to the World war are only for those men who composed the American Expeditionary Force. The war caused the loss of 12,946, 000 tons of shipping. Of this Eng land was of course the greatest loser, and these figures represent merchant shipping alone. She lost 7.757,000 tons, or 58 per cent of her shipping; Norway lost 177. 000 tons, or about 8 per cent; France something over 6 per cent, or 889.000 tons; Italy 846. 000 tons or about the same percent age of her shipping as France. Three hundred and ninety-five thousands tons represented the loss of the Uni ted States and this represented about 3 per cent of her shipping. Germany, who will eventually be the loser of al most all of her available shipping to compensate the allies, only lost 187. 000 tons as her ships were safe in harbor, from whence they will emerge ruder the flags of the Allied nations to whom they have been assigned, principally to compensate for her enormous losses by the sub-marine war.
