i
0T1LY 10 PER GENT
OF ALL ACCIDENTS
U1JPREVENTABLE
CARELESSNESS, THOUGHTLESS
NESS, UNDUE HASTE, AND IG
NORANCE CAUSE MOST
ACCIDENTS.
Statistic compiled by one of the
ta4ing life insurance companies of
America ahow that In the United
States during the year 191C there were
approximately 34,000 fatal atxldenU;
100.000 serious injuries, and 4,000,000
Other injuries. These figures alone are
appalling, but when it is known that
jpproximately ninety per cent of these
accidents were preventable the realiza
tion begins to dawn on one that an
awful toll of life and limb is being
paid to grim "accidents," and the time
as coma when some step should be
taken toward eliminating this need
less human suffering.
Of this enormous number of aecl
lents over one-half have been classi
led as "Industrial" accident or acci
auts o.ccunin( to .'emyloyc of the
Manufacturing Industries and public
forvice corporations throughout the
country.
Of the great number of industrial
nocldents possibly 50 could have
eu avoided If workmen bad not been
sareless. Another 25 could readily
a attributed to "thoughtlessness"
While an additional 15 was caused
ty "undue haste" and "ignorance,"
thus leaWng only about 10 due to
unavoidable and unpreveutable acci
lent. Investigation of accidents reported
luring the past Ave months has re
fealed the fact that the greater part
tt these accidents could have been pre
nted. Disobedience of orders, wil
ful neglect, carelessness and bad prac
ttcea are factors In a large majority
f cases, and Inasmuch as untold suf
fering and a great economic loss are
occasioned by these factors, it might
be worth while to cite a few accidents
which have occurred in order to show
to what extent care and thoughtful
nesa are needed to reduce this awful
(oil which la being exacted as the price
f carelessness and Ignorance.
The following are a few typical
eases in which the above mentioned
factors caused the accidents and rep
resent the classes of accidents which
could easily be prevented If every
erson concerned would be careful:
ReckUsa Driving.
Three persons lost their lives when
. im driver after racing with a pa
T -----
senger train attempted to cross id
front of the engine because he had a
little distance on the locomotive.
Four persons were killed when an
automobile stopped on one line of a
double-track railroad while a train
.pa nn the other. As soon as the
train had passed another train com
inir from the opposite direction struck
the car with fatal results.
Disobedience of Orders.
a a rock auarrv an employe, in di
rect disregard , of orders, rode on a
nirif loaded with stone. This truck
was allowed to run down an incline by
oaviiv and instead of walking De-
hind as he had been told to do, the
,mi.tnvA limbed on a truck ana in
jumping got off under the wheels. His
left ankle was broken and in auuiuon
he was badly bruised, so that he was
compelled to remain away from work
for many weeks and to lose consider
able in wag'H, besides enduring a
great amount of suffering.
Taking a tnanee.
An employe of a certain plant had
occasion to examine a motor. Instead
of making the examination from the
ti,i f ihe ctiard rail, which in this
case was possible, he evidently climb
ed or stepped over the guard rail
and was caught by the driving belt.
He was immediately whiriea to nis
death. Had it been absolutely nec
essary for this man to go inside the
guard rail, his first act, should have
been to stop the motor, thereby re
moving all possibility of an accident.
The chance taker eveniuauy gets
caught.
Nealected Wounds.
Tko fr.iinwinar accidents demonstrate
,the necessity of the prompt reporting
of all injuries, no matter now mviai,
Vr ottftntinn and treatment. Serious
-ases of blood poisoning often occur
from neglect, and not only resuu in
the loss of dollars and cents but also
cause great suffering, with perhaps the
loss of a finger, hand, leg or even life.
An employe in a mill while changing
rolls caught his finger on a sharp
edge of a bolt and failed to have it
attended to. As a result the wound
became infected, necessitating the ab
sence of the injured man from his work
,for three weeks.
Improper Use of Freight Elevator.
An employe In a warehouse was or
dered to get some material from the
third floor. It was necessary for him
A i,.i tha elevator. Lifting up the
safety gate he' started the elevator and
when it reached the floor on wnicn n
. Bfnndine he attempted to Jump on
Lwhlle the elevator was in motion. Ills
foot slipped and his body was caugni
between the safety gate and the floor
of the elevator. . He was instantly
killed. No person should attempt to
step on or off a moving elevator. Re
atiiir iij'Hdpnts with serious and
fatal results have occurred in this
manner
Tota' Germane In Field
The approximate figures representing
the man power of Germany in the war
at the present time, together with the
casualties, have been made public from
reliable source, as follows:
Fixed formations on the various
fronts, employed on lines of communi
cation and' stationed In the interior.
5,500,000.
Divisions undergoing formation and
men In d4ots, tiOO.OOO.
Losses in killed, permanently disabled
and prisoners, 4,000,000.
Wounded under treatment in hospi
tals, 500,000.
Total, 10,000,000. t-
Those figures account for all the men
called out up to the present for service,
as follows:
Trained men mobilized immediately
on the outbreak of the war, 4,500,000.
Untrained Ersatz (compensatory) re
servists called out from August, 1914.
to February. 101."., 800,000.
Class of 1014 recruits called out from
November, 11)14. to January, 1015,
450,000.
First ban of untrained landstunn
called out at the beginning of 1015.
1,100,000.
Class of 1015. called out May-July.
1015, 450,000.
Remainder of ' untrained landstumi
called out the same month, 150,000.
Class of 1010 called out September
November, 1015, 450,000.
Exempted Men Drafted.
Contingent of hitherto exempted men
called out in October, 1915, 300,000.
Second contingent exempted men
called out early In 1910, 200,000.
Second ban landsturm early In 1910.
450,000.
Class of 1017, called out March-November,
1010, 450,000.
Third contingent exempted men late
In 1910. 300,000.
Class 1918, called out November.
1910, to March, 1017, 450,000.
Class 1910, called out in part In 1917.
300,01)0.
'Additional exempted men, 1917, 150.-
ooo. -
Total, 11,500,000.
The small discrepancy In the figures
is accounted for by the omission of the
mall units. The total moblllzable male
resources of Germany since the begin
ning of hostilities, including the yearly
classes of recruits up to 1920, number
about 14.000.000. Those called up num
ber 10.000,000. The remainder are ac
counted for as follows: The remaining
portion of the class 1919 awaiting call.
150,000; clnss of 1920 still uncalled.
450,000; men employed as Indispen
sable in Industries and administra
tions, 5o0,000; men abroad unable to
reach Germany, 200,000; men entirely
exempted owing to physical disability.
2 100 000.
Recruits of the 1920 class cannot be
called legally until they attain their
seventeen h birthday.
American Troop by Thousands Will
Leave For Battle Zones In France.
Arrangements on a huge scale are
being expedited by the war department
to accommodate the steady flow of
American troops to the battle zones of
France. A new section has been cre
ated In the ofllce of the chief of staff
of the army to take charge of all em
barkation of troops and supplies.
Work has begun on a large embarka
tion camp or cantonment on the Atlan
tic coast which will take care of 30,000
or 40,000 troops at one time. This will
serve particularly for the national
army. Steamer and trausport facili
ties will be so organized that troops
from the camp can be kept en route in
virtually a steady stream. Naval forces
will be assigned to protect the waters
along the route, and an elaborate plan
will be put In effect to make any dis
turbance of this transport service Im
possible. The American plan will have the ad
vantage of experience which the cross
channel Brltlsh-Frencu transiort serv
ice has had since the beginning of the
war. Although In close proximity to
the submarine routes, none of the D
boats has been able to operate effec
tively against this service.
General Francis J. Kernan for the
present will act as chief of the em
barkation service, with Colonel Chaun
cey B. Baker of the quartermaster
corps, who has had charge of army
transportation under General Sharpe.
This section will co-ordinate all ship
ments of supplies and all troop move
ments whose ultimate destination Is
Europe. It will arrange with the navy
flepartment for convoy service.
