Japan,s rerrIbIe losses In the War.

In proof of his assertion in the Jan
uary McClure's that the treaty of Ports
mouth was premature, Gen. Kuropatlxin
points to the condition of the Japanese
army. He says:
Judging from numerous data, whose
truth we could not doubt, Japan had
begun to weaken both morally and ma
terially. All her resources seemed to
have been exhausted. 1t had required
extraordinary efforts on the part of the
Japanese to push our army through Man
churia, and had cost them enormous los
ses. According to the Information in the
hands of our general staff, the entire
peace force of the japanese army con-
sisted of 10000 men, of which as many
as $4,000 were on perpetual leave The
reserve Of the territorial army numbered
315, 900 men. Thus their entire force of
soldiers, according to our calculations,
consisted of only 418,OOO men. But ac-
cording to calculations made on the basis
of data published by the Japanese sani-
tary authorities, it is evident that during
the war over one million men were sum-
moned to their colors, which created an
extraordinary drain on the forces Of the
population.
1.-THE losses in killed and wounded were
very great. In the cemetery of honor at
Toxic alone $4,000 were buried who had
been slain in battle, and to these must
be added 90, 900 who died of their wounds
Thus the Japanese suffered battle losses
of 10000 men-that Is to say, a num-
Der almost equal to the entire army on
a peace footing. Our LOSSES compared
with our army of a million, were several
times smaller than those of the Japanese.
During the war $4,000 men were treated
in the Japanese hospitals, 220, 900 Of them
being wounded. Counting in with the
killed and wounded those who died from
disease, the Japanese lost $4,000 men"
