Life Insurance companies, reading each day of tho enormous loss of llfo 011 Eu ropean battlefields, seo striking analogies In tho chances of soldiers eurvlvlng bat tles and tho chances of men at various ages to live through certain periods. The American Experience. Table of Mor tality, which Is used as a basis for mak ing ot llfo Insuranco premiums, shows that between tho ngos ot 49 and 63 deaths number 65.C per cent, out of every 1000 men In times of peace. ThlB represents exactly tho total loss ot life at the bat tle of Gettysburg, which Was considered tho bloodiest fight ot the Civil War. In other words, It Is pointed out by tho New York Llfo Insuranco Company, each soldier who went Into battle at Gettys burg had the samo chance of surviving that a man 49 years old now hns of liv ing to bo 3 years. At the battle of Antletnm, the Federal loss was 39,7 per 1000 men. Those who went Into that hat tlo had the samo chance of coming out allvo ns a man now 40 years old has of living to bo 44. At tho battlo of Chlck nmauga the death rate In the Union army wns 47.6 per 1000 men, which, In the opinion of the compnny, is equiva lent to tho peace risk of n man now 23 years old living to bo 29. At Shlloh the loss was 42.2 per 1000 men, equivalent to tho peace risk of a. man living from 30 to 35. Taking tho battles of tho Civil "War as a basis, Insurance actuaries have fig ured out a table showing tho battlo death rate and tho equivalent peace risk at various ages.
