Marines Want to Retain Distinctive Green Uniform to Distinguish Service American Training Camp In France. Au*. 10 (By The Associated Press). — The marines of the expeditionary force will make a fight to retain thslr forest green uniforms against a ten tative order which would place them iii regular khaki. The marines think tisey can arrange a necessary supply of their distinctive clothing, but army officers feel it would perhaps be better to have the entire expedi tion uniformed alike. The marines hold that to abandon their distinctive dress would tend to lower the morale of the men, which in turn would rob the expedition of the spirit of friendly rivalry now ex isting between the services. The ma rines cite the case of the Alpine Chasseurs In France, who won Jnclr fight early in the war to retain their distinctive uniforms of d ar £, blue against an order that all French should wear horizon blue. The marines to-day subscribed to a fund of $60,000 to buy French war bonds, the fact evoking great cheers from their French trainers.

Its proponents and the national legisla tures who enacted It, were denounced and excoriated In the Capitol yester day at a meeting of pacifists held In the auditorium of the committee on military affairs of the Senate.

The pacifists demanded that Congress stay in session until it has repealed the conscription law. In obtaining the use of the com mittee room to indulge in a series of scathing attacks on the President and Congress, the promoters of the meet ing. who call themselves the People's Council of America for Democracy and Peace, are alleged to have deceiv ed Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of the military committee.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ARMY ORDERS TO DRAFT MEN SOON TO BE IN CAMP Local Boards in Control Until Conscripts Reach Train ing Camps •Washington, Aug. 10. Regula tions under which men of the new National Army will be called to the colors September 1 were Issued last night by Provost Marshal General Crowder. They give in detail the whole program to be followed until every soldier of the selective draft army .has been accepted by the adju tant general of the training canton ment to which ne is assigned. Two hundred thousand of the first 687,000 men will be called up Sep tember 1 and forwarded to their camps before September B. The whole business of assembling the levies at entraining points, provid ing them with shelter, food and transportation, and giving them ac tual induction Into military life is Instructed to the civilian local boards which selected them for service. Un til the men reach the camps they will not be in contact with uniform ed officers. The civilian control is carried forward through every stage of the draft, to the very gates of the military camps where the making of soldiers will be given, to be complet ed within sound of the guns in France. The actual call for men will go in each case from the Provost Mar shal General to the State Adjutant General, giving the number of men to be supplied at a specified time by the state. Each local board will be promptly informed of its proportion in the call, and the Adjutant Gen eral will tlx the date when men from his state shall entrain for the camps. Boards to Issue Calls Immediately the local boards will make out the list of men to fill the call from the roll of accepted men, and it will fix also the place of en trainment and the exact time of de parture. Orders to the men will be posted and also will be sent to them by mail. They will be directed to re port to the local board at its head quarters not less than twelve hours or more than twenty-four hours be fore the time of departure for camp. "From the time specified for re porting to the local board for mili tary duty," the regulations state, "each man in respect of whom no tice to report has been posted or mailed shall be in the military serv ice of the United States." Prior to the arrival of the men at the board headquarters, board mem bers are instructed to make arrange ments for their accommodation, to find clean and sanitary sleeping places at hotels and lodging houses, to arrange for their meals and to provide lodging and meal tickets to be taken in payment and redeemed for cash later by a government dis bursing officer. In their discretion the boards may grant permission for the men to remain at their homes. Arrived at the board headquart ers at the hour fixed for reporting, the men will be drawn up, the roll called and agents of the board will take them personally to their quar ters, remaining with them until every arrangement for their com fort has been made. Emphatic in structions are given that the qual ity of food furnished shall be good, and the board is held liable for see ing that meals are adequate. First Military Ceremony Retreat rolleall at the board head quarters, set for 6.30 p. m. on the day of reporting to the board, will be the Arts military ceremony the drafted men pass through. The board members are directed to be present in person and to inform the men of their military status, im pressing on them tho fact that dis obedience of orders is the gravest military crime. The light hand baggage containing toilet articles and a change of underclothing, which the men are permitted to take with them to camp, will be in spected by the board and the lists of men sent forward made out and copies of original registration cards prepared. For each district Ave alternates will be summoned to the board headquarters, in addition to the men actually selected to fill the board quota. They will be held at the as sembling point until train time to fill vacancies should any men of the levy fail to report. Except for retreat rolleall, the men will receive town liberty until forty-five minutes before train time. The board will, during this interval, select one man from the levy and place him in charge of the party for its trip. He will name a second in command to aid him, and the other men will be told that the orders of these two must be obeyed under pain of military discipline. The men in charge of the party will call the roll at the board head quarters just before train time. He will then line up the draft and ac companied by the board members, will march them to the station to entrain. There a final verification of the list will be made and, if any man of the selected number is missing, an alternate will be sent forward in his place. The tickets, with meal tick ets, all papers relating to the party, including the copies of registration cards, will be turned over to the man in command, and the party will start for its training camp. I'arty Commander's Unties It will be the duty of the com mander of each party to watch over his men during tho trip; to see none is left behind at any station; that all are fed regularly and that no liquor is furnished to them enroute. When within six hours of the camp he will file a telegram to the. cainp adju tant general, notifying him of the time of arrival. Immediately upon the departure of the train the. local board will send a similar message. Every precaution has been taken in advance to meet any emergency. Should a train be delayed by acci dent, the commander of each party will have proper telegraph blanks to report the fact to the camp adju tant general and to ask Instructions. After the departure of the levy for camp the local boards will turn lo gathering up stragglers. If there is evidence of wilful violation of or ders, the offenders will be reported to the Adjutant General of the Army as a deserter and the local police will be asked to arrest him on srght and turn him over to the nearest army post for trial. Where there was no intention to desert, however, and the missing man reports of his own will, the board will send him into the camp with an explanation and a recommendation as to his de gree of his sulpabillty. Final Examination at Camp Arrived at the camp the party will undergo final physical examina tion by army doctors. If any are rejected the local board will be noti fied and an alternate will be sent forward In each case. The net quota of a board will be regarded as filed only when the full number of men called for has been finally accept ed. Provision Is made, also, for a strict accounting as to quotas, be tween the Federal government and BATTLE LINE IS FAIRLY SAFE FOR AMERICAN MEN Death Rate in Trenches Only 60 in 1,000 a Year, Says Statistician For the man who is picked for the national army the chances are 4 to 1 that he will see little actual lighting In Europe. If ho reaches the firing line the chances of being killed are 60 in 1,000 in a year; of being wounded, 150 in 1,000. He will be less liable to disese than If he is working in a city. Furthermore, if he is connected with some branches of the service, such as" the heavy Held artillery, he is no more likely to be killed than If he were working on an American railroad. These are some of the comforting the Adjutants General in the first Instance, and between the Adjutants General and the local boards In the second. Reports to show the stand ing of such accounts will be filed every ten days Until every quota has been filled.

Strouse figures culled by Roger W. Babson, the noted statistician, and published In the current Issue of Babson's Weekly Reports. "Of course, It Is very difficult to obtain rell&blo figures," says Mr. Babson, "but we understand that about 60 men per 1,000 are being killed In a year, and about 160 men out of each 1,000 are wounded, al though most of these wounded re turn again to the trenches. Below Normal Death liatc "This percentage of casualties is not high. Of course. It cannot be compared with the normal death rate In peace times, which is about 8 per 1,000 for the ages of men at the front. The great loss of pre vious wars has been from disease. This has been very largely elimi nated. So'ne claim that a man at the front to-day Is less liable to dis ease than If at home working in a city. "The mortality is very much less I to-day than it was at the beginning of the war. 'JJ'he gas and other hideous forms of attack are being well handled at the present time. Men who are sensible and careful can well protect themselves against these things. Experience, both in the protection of the soldier and the care of the wounded, is constantly reducing the death rte as the war progresses. With the exception of wounds ob tained during charges, which, of course, are very dangerous, most wounds are in the arm and shoulder, which can be esaily healed, or in the skull. The skull wounds are nat urally serious. Amputation of limbs The New Store of Wm. Strouse AUGUST 10, 1917. la very much less than In previous wars. "The mortality varies considerably with the different branches of serv ice. A man who is connected with the heavy tleld artillery Is no more likely to l>o killed than If In the em ploy of our.railroads, but tho fellows engaged in certain other branches are in much more danger. It is also said that tho mortality among cer tain classes of officers, such as lieu tenants sergeants and corporals, Is proportlonaaly very much greater than among privates. "It is very interesting to see how much greater the mortality is among volunteer corps than among drafted men. if the Roosevelt volunteers had gone to the front, the mortality among such a body would doubtless have been very high. 1 kittle Serious Fighting "We believe that the drafted man who goes P.S an ordinary soldier, tak ing his Judgment with him and leav ing his enthusiasm at home. Is not only most effective, but is fairly sure to return In better physical condition than when he left. Of course, during the one or more days a month that It Is his turn to charge, he is subject to great danger; but the rest of the time, with reasonable precautions, he is, statistically, almost as well off as in the streets of New York. "Most of tho drafted men may see France, which, by the way. will be beneficial to many of them. Since, however, tho aeroplane appropriation has passed, there is good chance that but few of them ever will be engaged in serious fighting. "We believe that the war will con tinue until wo have several hundred thousand troops and 10,000 or more aeroplanes In France, which should be some time next spring or summer. We, however, feel that by the time these men and aeroplanes are over there, ready to do something worth while. Germany will have come to her senses. We eo no reason for Germany to stop until we are ac tually in Europe with self-supporting bnscs, prepared to strike hard; but we sec every reason why Germany should bo anxious to settle with us at that time, before wo do strike. "Our regular army, and perhaps the militia, mar get Into action at any time, but tne chance are 4 to 1 that the* men who are now being drafted will see very little actual fighting In Europe. Even if they are required to do hard lighting, statis tics are very much in their favor, and conditions are Improving."
