number Of Americans who lost their

900. In the wars with France and
Tripoli, 1898 to 1905, about I75
Americans were killed. This does not
include the number who died In the
French dungeons at Guadeloupc or
in the slave pens at Tripoli, OF whom
no accurate estimate a be made
In the war Of 1912, 1874 men were
killed in sea fights in which the reg.

the number lost by shipwrcck, the

Neither does this include the loss in
American p%rivateeys which was
nearly equal to that sustained by tho
navy. The number killed in land
battles was about 450, so that the
total loss in the wal Of 1912 is about
1000 men. In the war with Aleicrs,
1915, Mexico, 1916 to ls4s, and IN
the minor conflicts between 1915 and
1860 about 1000 men were killed in
battle.
But the greatest losses, of course,
were in the Civil War, where brother

the North effectively participated in
supprcssing the Rebellion. OF these
$1,000 were killed in battle and 3D.
900 died Of wounds in hospitals,
while 1874, 900 died from disease con
tracted in the army. No accurate
estimate Of the losses sustained By
the Southerne S has been made, but
it is probable that they were fully
equal to those sustained by the
Northerners, bringing the total to
about coo, 900. Adding to this mum.
