(Atlanta constitution.
Staggering as are the totals Of kill
ed and wounded on the battlefields of
Europe, the fact remains that the
hazard Of the soldier to-day in Franco
is mathematically far below that
faced by participant in the Civil
War.
In one month Of bombi''g and
trench warfare France and Great
Britain lost in killed and wounded
114,000 men, according to authentic
reports-which is enough to make
the world throw up It's hands iii hor-
ror.
But when it IS remembered that
total of 100000 soldiers were en-
gagged and subject to the same dan
gers to which their 114,000 COM
rades fell victim, the percentage of
casualties is brought down to less
than 6 per cent.
In twelve hours fighting at Antie-
tam $4,000 Union and Confederate
soldiers were killed or weunde l-or
20 per cent of the forces engaged!
And taking the war as whole, the
hazard of the Civil War soldier was
almost four times as greatAs is that
Of the soldier in France.
This Is largely accounted for in
the modern methods Of fighting. as
compared with the old. Trench wal
fare is responsible for the greatly
decreased percentage Of losses in
Europe.
Military experts tell us that If the
armies now engaged in the greatest
of all wars had continued to follow
the open warfare methods that mark
ed the early days of the war-.and
that characterized the methods en-.
ployed in the Civil War-the oppos-
ing armies long ago would have been
annihilated. 1t Is remembered that
the original army sent to France by
England at the beginning of the war
was practically destroyed during the
first six months.
hat was DSCduSS lHCy pul Iho
open warfare tactics. But the sue
cessors of those unfortunate fellows
soon learned to dig themselves in;
with the result that the percentage
Of casualties is greatly decreased.
1t is true that modern weapons
have maximized the capacity for de-
struction; but to Offset that fact,
trench warfare and improved defense
methods and systems have minimized
the risks.
And the soldier in France to-day
stands far better chance OF coming
out alive and whole of body than did
the soldier of the Civil War--what-
ever comfort that may afford TO the
mothers, fathers, wives and sweet
hearts at home!
