Great Britain. The next heaviest suf-
ferer has been Norway. with France

Since Time of the War
With Spain.

Washington. March 2.-Reports from

counterbalanced by new enlistments.

of naval officers that on March they

Only Tactics Change.

The men in the trenches, seeing
only a brief and intimate part OF the
actual operations, are inclined to as
scrt that the major principles of war
fare have changed, but this is true
only of tactics. which, according to
Napoleon, change every 10 years,
period whicl had he been alive TO-DAY
ho probably would have reduced to
five years. This is due to the in
crease in inventive power over the
time when Napoleon fought. In the
tactics Of this war are seen three tre-
mendous Innovations which can prob
ably be placed in the following order:
First. airplares; second. improved
heavy artillery with highly explosive
snslls; third. machine guns. In
strategy the immutable problems of
time and space still prevail and were
Napoleon or Lee alive today the
genius which made them great would
