Warfare of other days was described
In a fascinating lecture on Numbers
in History" recently at the University
college by Prof. Hans Delbrueck, pro-
lessor Of history at the University OF
Berlin. Professor Delbrueck said the
first point to which in any history Of
war they had to direct attention was
the number Of the warriors. 1t was a
recognized fact that Moltke displayed
great genius in 1870 when he directed
a monstrous mass of his troops from
n center, drew them up abreast,
and made them act together in battle.
Herodotus related that 5,1o0, 900 mep

Caliph Omar's act In ordering the

Gus age. What he did often Is par
alleled without the logic OF religious
fanaticism which can be pleaded In
his defense. From Paris comes the
report that an enormous number OF
documents stored In the national
archives and indispensable to French
history OF the nineteenth century have
been accidentally destroyed. The d.
