Rate 10 War Time Is
about Five Per Cent.

On the eve apparently OF a great war. IL
may be interesting 20 glance al the sub
Ject Of War Mortality. The conditions Of
warfare differ SO greatly that no exact
inference can necessarily be drawn from
past statistics as 10 the mortality likely
20 prevail in any particular campaign
The climate OF the sphere of operations:
the period Of the year over which the
campaign extends: the composition. equip
ment and resources OF the forces engaged
on either side, the available organization
for the medical treatment of the sick and
wounded: the nature OF the operations
whether military, naval, or both and the
tactics pursued by the commanding off,
GERS. are but few OF the elements which
must vary in every case. and which must
seriously affect the general result The
whole science of war has. moreover been
40 completely revoluttonized in recent
years that the mortality from battle which
VIII be experienced in the war for which
Spain and America are preparing may be
widely different from that of any war.
the statistics Of which are available 10 u.s.
and the resume which We give OF some
war-mortaity results tahuIated by actu-
aries is not intended to indicate any cri-
terlon of results which may be expected
in the threatened international struggle
But 1t will be seen by the figures which
We give that the results OF different cam
paigns have not varied so widely as might
perhaps have been expected. Looking 10
the climate OF Cuba and the destructive
character of modern weapons. il is not
probable that the war mortality expert
enced will he lower than the average
which has prevailed i'm the campaigns to
which We propose to refer.
In 1858 Mr.. Samuel Brown. one OF the
leading actuaries OF his day, investigated
the mortality experienced in the British
army during more than twenty years of
warfare. The period Of his observations
included the wars with France from 1913
10 1sla. and the Crimean war. As regards
the Napolenic wars he ascertained that
the average annual mortality in the Brit
ish army was about % per cent OF the
total force engaged. 2-3 per cent arising
from casualties in action, and ) per cent
from sickness and other causes. The re-
turns from the Crimea at the time OF his
Investigations We're too imperfect for him
10 obtain satisfactory results but a later
statistician has estimated the British army
mortality in the war with Russia to have
been at the rate of Il per cent OF the
force engaged per annum. per cent being
from battle and per cent from disease
