The Vienna press shows by careful

We're swept of by cholera. In 1866 the
Prusan Army lost 6,427 men from
cholera, against 4, 450 on the field. In
1907 the Germans lost 1900 men
by disease; less than half that number
fell in battle, but the sanitary arrange
ments had never been so good.

from it also. A French diplomatic lady
was once allowed to enter this room
She beat hasty retreat after one
glance round, for she felt that if she
stayed her principles would succumb to
her admiration, and that she would try
to steal some of the contents.
