n costs far more to kill a man in modern than
n did in ancient warfare. According TO the
best authorities of Russia and Japan, the con-
dict which has just ended involved total cost
Of 81 500 100000. Of this the Russians suffered
Q loss of approximately $1O00000000 and the
Japanese $500, 100000. The Russian casualties
amounted to 100000 and the japanese to 100
600 men,
It may be estimated, therefore, that every
man who fell on either side in the recent strug-
gle for supremacy in the Far East represented
an expenditure Of 500 It cost 81 ,225 to van
quish one Russian, and Russia had to spend
s. 600 to overwhelm one japanese.

great guns Of modern invention costing thou

dollars to fire, and the batteships, representing
expenditures OF from 100000 to 100000

Large armies were common in the days of the
Asiatic supremacy of the world and the great
battles of those times bloody ones. Ac-
ccrding to the Bible, Abijah "set the battle in
array against Jeroboam with 100000 "chosen
men" Jeroboam's forces 100000 chosen
men-mighty of valor." According to the
record Jeroboam lost 100000 in the pitched
battle which ensued. Xerxes's famous army
contained 10000 men and Darius confronted
Alexa nder the Great at Arbea with a million,
II one may believe the statements of the early
historians.
It is said that Of the 100000 men engaged in
the battle of Palate, about 4I9 B. c., when a
Greek army defeated an invading host Of lightly
armored Persians 100000 Y per cent, lost
their lives. These were chiefly Persians AT the
