WAR LESS DEADLY NOW
THAN OF YORE
Formerly 22,7 Per Cent of Com
batants Were Slain Against
II Per Cent Now.

Berlin, Jan. 6.--In an article
published by the Vossische lei
tung Professor w. Dietz- shows
that in spite of the terrible instru-
ments Of destruction now in use
fewer soldiers are killed proper
tionately in the present. war than
III all former great fhrmed con-
FLEETS.
The statistics collected by the
professor show that in the six
great battles fought between 1851
and lG34, after the introduction
Of portable firearms and the bay
onet, 22.5 per cent Of the combat
ants were killed. In the wars be-
tween 1745 and 1881, when the
fEntlock gun was in use, the loss
cs in dead averaged 22.7 per cent.
During the third period, which
comprises the eleven battles
fought between 1854 and 1868,
beginning with Alma in the
Crimea and ending with Chatta-
noga, the percentage of killed
fell to 15.5 per cent. A further
decrease of the number of dead
is shown by the official reports
of the wars of 1866 and 1901,
although the battles of Sadowa
(Kocniggeractz) and Sedan were
among the hloodiest of modern
times. In these two wars only IL
per cent Of the men engaged in
the fighting were killed.
In the wars between 1898 and
1909, from the battle of San Juan
to that of Mukdcn, 1912 per cent
of the troops engaged were killed
and in the present war, according
to the official reports available so
far, the percentage Of the dead is
even a little smaller. The number
of wounded who will remain
cripplrs for life, however, is much
greater than in all former wars.
