the modern weapons are so destructive
that numerical superiority in warfare
does not count as much as IN former

the old-fashioned muskets, It was pos
sible to get close TO the trenches before

then a rush could be made before the
defenders had time TO reload. The
modern gun has changed all this.
Trained shots can now with their maya

difficulty of advancing such distance
against a continuous rain Of bullets has

the plague Is gradually drawing into

4 London military expert suggests
that the new British campaign in South
Africa Is like that In the American
civil war, when the army Of the Poto-
mac held the Confederate forces in Vir-
glnia while the Union western armies
pierced through the heart Of the Con-
federacy and turned back on Lee from
savannah and Atlanta It should not
be forgotten, however. that there is q
notable point Of divergence There
was no dangerous menace to those
western armies such as now threatens
the communications Of Lord Roberts in
the form Of Commandant Delarey's I'M
defeated force and the colonals he
may call to his aid. The particular
comparison made by the expert does
not compare, so there Is likely to be
more unlocked for developments to both
parties In the present war.

Notwithstanding the perfection Of
modern weapons Of war, the chances TO
get wounded, or killed, In battle, are
not nearly as great as many imagine,
According to calculations during the
Franco-German war; with scores Of
battles on vast scale, only 1917 men in
each 1000 were Killed and los wounded,
while four and half per 1000 were
missing. Thus any soldier engaged had
about nine chances TO one that he would
not get scratch and over 50 chances
TO one that he would not be killed.
Most of the wounds he received were
slight-that is to say, one-fourth Of all
the wounds were severe and three
fourths were slight. But It Is surprls-
ing how small a wound disables a man
and knocks him out OF the ranks.

COLENSO CAMP, Wednesday, Feb. 2S,

fearful havoc in the trenches. Many of
the wounded were quite yellow from the
effects of the fumes. Over a hundred
prisoners were taken. Many of them We're
Hollanders and few were genuine Beers.
Considerable ammunition for rifles fell
ino the hands of the British, as well as a
damaged Maxim-gun. Beers of sixteen

majority seemed to be glad to be cap
tured They admit heavy losses recent

The women remained with the Beers in
the trenches until three hours before the
British charged. Two women were found,
one dead and the other shot through the
heart She has since died. She said her
husband would not let her go as she was
such good shot The woman was only
nineteen years old.

its case.
1t was announced by the defense that a

the part of Flamant, the forgers and
