The last performance of Carmen" for
the present season took place yesterday

comment In the performance, but II liz

Mr. Martinelli has given much pleas

"A MILLION PRlsoNERs'

Berlin officials asssert that th, Austro-German Allies have, up t. date, captured more than S00,000 sol diers of the Allied forces.
 The same authorities are sad t, concede the capture by the Allies of 100000 men-making grand tota of more than 1.000,000 troops III th, hands of the enemy.
 Leaving aside all question of the veracity of this alleged compilation the mere enumeration of such fig ures conjures up some interesting cJn parisons which if they do naugh, else. at least demonstrate the immense number thus cited.
 In the first place, it is stated that the German prisoners to date are double the number taken in the Franco -Prussian war sf 1870. It will be remembered that in two mem arabic eatstrophes in that struggle. the French regular army was all but annihilated.
 Even more astonishing is the state ment that the total is more than the total of all the troops summoned to arms when that struggle was particip- atated in. France is credited wut put ting 2S6,000 men in the filed, while all the German forces totaled 600,000.
 Other striking comparisons. are found in our own Civil war. For in. stance at Vickburg Grant commanded only 45.000 men. Lee, in his tremen- dous fight at Gettysburg commanded only 75,000. while Meade is credited with 15O,000-a total fighting force less than one-quarter of a million.
 Sherman on his famous march to the sea was in command of only 100000 men. while Johnson command ed about 65,oO0.
 Still more remarkable-at the close of the epochal struggle, the army that  Grant hurled at Lees thinning leg ions numbered only 124,700, against which the Southern arrayed 57,O0o
 Coming down to more modern times Field Marshal Oyama, at the battle of Liao-Yang commanded 240.000 troops with Kuropatkin marshaling 2o0,0oo. The succeeding and culimating battle of Mukden saw 100000 Japanese ar layed against 1000 Russians-few- CT fighting men than the number of prisoners cited above.
 Such figures, by comparison, give one an appreciation of the titanic nature of this conflict When it is conceded that it is possible to re- tire million men from the battle line through capture, without serious ly imparing the fighting strength of the nations at war, the mind has less difficulty in appreciating the enor- mity of the armed forces in Europe.
