WHAT WAR HAS COST.
Calculated That 1,aoo,ooo.ooo Men Have
 Been Sacrificed in Battle.

Calculated That I,2OoeU00,oOO Men nave
 Been Sacrificed in Battle.
 Beginning with the Trojan war, which is usually regarded as the first chapter in European and Asiatic his tory, it is calculated that war has claimed 4o.000,690 of men every cen ..sf#. h Europe alone the loss of lives
 years since the date of that 4as been between 18.000, 900 and 26 o00 Three thousand years have elapsed since that opening chapter of history was enrolled, so that during those thirty centuries the almost in conceivable number of 1,200, 100000 men, women and children have been sacrificed to settle disputes concern ing some few miles of territory, to gfatify the ambition Of some monarch. or to soothe the wounded vanity of rulers and states. In the wars that Waged between =1793 and 1915 no few CT than 1,900,000 men were either kilIed. outright died from wounds or disease In the campaign of 1928 the number was 126, ,000. h the Gfi= mean war the losses sustained by the four countries which participated amounted 10 the terrible figure of 6o0.- l GOO. In 1859 the French and Austrian forces suffered to the extent of 63,900, while in the civil war in the United States the victims numbered =656. .000. The Franee-Prussian war caused the death of 290 oo0 and the Russo=Turkisb war meant death to 1S0,000 men. In order to show the fearful carnage that may be wrought in one battle, two instances in recent wars are cited. In the battle of Gravelotte, in 18705 the combined losses of the French and Germans were 44.000 men killed, and in the two chief attacks Oil the strong hold of Pleyna, so gallantly defended by the Turks under Osman Pasha, the Russians and their allies lost. 10000 men, independent of those who died from wounds after the battles.

that the concentrated thought of our

1.-THE NOBLE self-sacrhce with which our
soldiers refuse 70 return home as long as
they are needed az the front forms one
of the brightest pages In our annals.
