Losses in the Far East.

Figures Of the killed and wounded
IN the great war now being waged III
III. far East between Russia and
Japan convey little conception of their
cruesome enormity to the average
co,nprehension. The world is prone to
p.ss lightly by these events which are
distant and unseen. This is special
,v true with most of us when great
world movements are SO far remote
that they do not touch Immediately
uron the material and political inter-
ests of our own country. We glance
hastily over the summaries of the
dead and wounded in the great battles
waeed thousands of miles away with
perhaps some expression Of horror.
but with little real appreciation of
what they actually involve. The lat
est total figure for the Japanese who
have laid down their lives in the pres
ent war is $4,000 and it is believed
that the Russian dead will number
fully twice as many. for it must be re-
nembered that a considerably larger
proportion of the Russian forces have
died from sickness and wounds OWING
to the inferior sanitary ana hospital
arrangements that have been provided
in that army.
