Bullets Wasted In Battle.

1t is said that only about one out OF
every three or four hundred bullets
fired In battle is effective. Here are
an experts statistics on the question.
When Frederick the Great defeated the
Austrians at the battle of Czaslau, May
II, 1742, out of every 357 shots fired
by the Prussians. only one Austrian
was killed or wounded. In the cam
paigns of 1905 and 1906, when the great
Napoleon was victorious everywhere,
only one man was killed or wounded
out of every 5000 shots, and in 1913
and 1914 10000 shots were fired to kill
or wound one man. BautZen was an
exception, for there ia balls were fired
on enc man hors de combat. At the
battle of Victoria, Wellington's army
fired 500 shots for one man killed OF
wounded. At Solferino, in 1859, the
Austrians fired S.4OO,OOO cartridges, and
only killed and wounded 1900 French
soldiers, or one man out Of every zoo
shots. In the campaign of 1864 ard
1866 the average was sixty-six shots
for one man hors de combat. In the
terrible battles of 1S70-71, $50 shots
were fired for every man killed OF
wounded.
