from this work that the German army lost, during

force of the German army during the war amounted
to A. l20 officers and i5l 94i men, of whom 49, lOl
officers ana l. 49, 25i men took part In the campaign.
Wlhn seven months $50, 900 persons were nuIsed In
the field hospitals; sl2, 02 patients received In the
reserve hospitals. Add To this the losses of the
French, which were greater than those Of Germany,
the destruction OF property the losses to the produc
tive Industries OF both Germany and France during
the war, the immense cost of war material, reaching
into the billions Of dollars and we can form some
Idea OF the wicked desructlveness of war, and the
crlminalty OF rulers who resort TO settle some
