Losses and Duration Of theWar
Ono OF tho Day's Best Cartoons.

General Francis v. Greene. United
States Army. retired. having carefully
studied all available evidence bearing
on the war losses, included his findings
In an address to the West Point cadets
General Greene estimated that the
entente allies have lost In killed 1896
600. in wounded l.S46.oo and In pris-
oners and missing l,2s5.O0o--a total OF
$4,000. The losses of the Teutonic
allies and Of Turkey he puts at 1890
600 killed, 1,1So.000 wounded, and 1920
oOc in prisoners and missinE-a total Of
3.SSc,ooo. little more than year
has reduced the combatant strength of
each side approximately 100000. Some
OF the wounded will return to the
ranks. but the greater part will not
for General Greene has excluded the
slightly wounded from confederation.
The number OF males of military
age in any country physically ut for
war is usually put at 10 per cent Of
the population. although Germany as
scrts the percentage of her availnblcs
Is higher than this--about 12 per cent
Counting Germany at II per cent the
total number Germany was able to en-
list when the war began was 1900
600. Since. something like 100000 Ger
mnn boys have attained a military age

100000 tho 100000 in the new class,
ables are now 100000. II these hg-
ures are correct the net German loss

General Greene arc out OF the conflict.
Austria is thus theoretically able to
hold on at the present rate Of loss for
two years. AS to Turkey. il is prob
able her continuance In the war Will
be determined by strategic considera-
ton: so it is not necessary to estimate
how long she can endure attrition.
Loss Suffered by France.
On the other side, the LOSE of France
is put at 100000. with total availables
at the beginning Of the war. counting
the excellent military material of her
colonies, OF 100000. France thus has
put rs per cent OF her manhood into
the war. Allowing for the new classes
of recruits. she could theoretically hold
on for three years more.
Great Britain. counting English
speaking colonies. was capable on the
10 per cent basis OF raising for army
and navy approximately 100000 OF
this number she has lost $4,000 or
only a little more than per cent
not AS many as have come OF military
age since the war began. Great Brit
ain at the present rate of loss can thus
keep up the struggle indefinitely.
