LOSSES " TILE W4R-

General Methuen was reported to have called
the engagement at the Modder River "the
bloOdiest battle Of the century If he did use
such phrase he must have done so with the
roar Of battle IN his ears and the bleeding bodies
Of his comrades before his eyes and with his
judgment held in abeyance to the moment 5
senses 1t was, no doubt, severe conflict and
the losses were heavy. But far from being
the hloodiest battle of the century" il was in
comparison with many others that rise in
stnctively to mind, scarcely more than a skir-
mish. In fact, considering the numbers en-
gagged. the plans Of the engagements and the
scientific perfection OF the armaments. the
smallneSs Of the losses sustained is the most re-
markaOle feature OF the war
Let II be borne In mind that at Modder River,
as In almost all other engagements In this war,
the British have attacked about equal and some
times superior numbers Of Boers. the latter
being ntrcnchcd upon hills and armed with the
best output of German and French arsenals
In fact. the Boer army Is without doubt the
best armed that has ever taken part in a1y war
in the whole world. IN such circumstances wo
might naturally expect 10 hear ot enormous Brit
ish losses But what arc the facts? At Modder
River 5000 British troops fcnght 5000 Bocrs
