SO. when the organization is thus
broken, IL Is said 10 be annihilated or
destroyed, although perhaps only a
small part of the soldiers have actually
been killed or wounded. Indeed. it is
rare that fighting unit survives the
loss Of more than 10 per cent Of its
men. That is because the mortality
OF officers Is always higher than that
among the privates, and when nearly
half OF its officers are killed or wound

He was defeated and lost about $500
men, killed and wounded-less than
one-tenth OF his whole army. Yet his
army was said to be destroyed, as, I'm
fact, 1t was. After the defeat It had
lost all organization and virtually de-
