of it left as large as il tahlrlcai.-
This was followed by a passenger

The Prussian authorities have
been very reticeHt on the subject OF
tie devastation caused 10y sickness
in THEN army during the late war,
but the facts are beginning TO trans.
pire. The Central Bureau of In
formation in Berlin, which is under
the supervision Of high military an.
thority, has published some inter
csting statistics in this regard. 1t
thus appears that the institution
has within the space Of twelve
months authenticated G33, 900 sick
and wounded cases, and that OF
these only 5000 belonged to the
French, the remaining JJJ,l 90 to
the German army. The circum-
stance that only 10000 of these
were South Germans, and that near
" sos, 600 were North GermdnS.-
shows, by the disproportion of the
numbers. that the bureau had really
been occupied with the North Ger
man army; and it is believed that
the wounded number 100000, and
the unwounded sick 100000.
