Secretary of War Garrison aaya that It la much more difficult to kill men In battle nowadays than la generally sup posed. Medical reports of the Rosso Japanese war. he says, show thnt out of every hundred rnaunltlea S3 per cent were caused by bullets; also that In that war It took 10,000 bullets to kill one man. Another authority says tbat It took l ira rifle shots to put one Japanese out of the light In 19D4. whereas In the Franco-Prussian war In 1N70 one bullet In every 375 found lta mark. Next to bullets come artillery shots In effectiveness. In 1H70 It required eighty French ahota, weight 6K) pounds, to disable one German, bnt tn ISM I. 10 shots, weight nearly one ton. were Ured to disable one Itusslnn. Appalling accounts of slaughter, es pecially of Germane, have been given, but at their worst Geuk-Tepe In tbe Russo-Turkish war of lf1 leads In carnage.

It appears from analysis of retorts ot losses m r. u rope tnat wnen given in gross for any battle or campaign the prisoners are Included among tlie "missing." Where the classes are sep arated, aa In the English sod Oertnan reports, the ratio of killed to wounded does not sucuest canilvalsof slaughter.
