mortality in the villages of Belgium and Northern France directly attributable to the starvation and brutal treatment of the Inhabitants by the German soldiery, we still have grounds for the hope that General SMUTE figures are greatly SONSxaggerated. It is impossible also to understand his other statement that eighty million men have died in war and a greater number have been permanently maimed, but here there is more room for a mistake to have been made in the trans- mission of the message, nad that the number should be eight millions, Eveu if General SMUTs was referring to the total casualties in all wars re-

corded in history the figures attributed to him could scarcely be justified. Beliable statistics show that there were slightly over three hundred thousand casualties in the chief battles fought in the eighteenth century, and that the killed and wounded in the war of the nine- teenth century amounted to a little more than a million. In the eighteenth cen tury there was only one battle fought in which there were as many nr. 200,000 combatants in the four great battles of the nineteenth century-Leipsic, Wagram, Borodino and Bantzen-there were to. gether 1,373,000 men engaged. In the battle of Waterloo, where the fate of NAPOLEON WEB settled. 170,000 men were engaged, of whom 42,000 were killed and wounded.
