y European critic reckons that at
least one hundred thousand men have
perished-killed outright or slowly by
wounds and disease since August t.,
when Weissenburg was stormed and
the first big fight ofthe war took place; /;
that half as many more have been
manned for life; that another hundred
thousand have imbibed the seeds of
disease which will not only shorten the
natural duration of their lives, but be
transmitted to generations yet unborn;
that probably dfty thousand widows
and more than two hundred thousand
orphans mourn the loss of husbands
and fathers that from seventy thousand
to eighty thousand other homes have
been made desolate by the loss of sons
or brothers who were their stay and
that four hundred thousand are in
captivity. BY this war fully one million
human beingshave, directly, either been
robbed of existence or deprived of their
fair share Of happiness and enjoyment
in life within the brief space of five
months, and upon a comparatively
limited area Of the surface Of Europe
