That is a rule of modern war. hotly contested battle were apt to be the final British which were often ten times their own losses, The wounded were usually taken pri- casualties.

Few men burt seriously the numbers engaged on both sides were so escaped the fierce and close pursuit of the vic-amall that the losses of fights famous in their tor, Even the winning side had a far smaller day will attract little notice in the far view of proportion of losses which were merely tem- porary or technical than armies suffer in these times, when every man hit by a rifle ball figures in the list of casualties, and nine out of ten reported wounded recover soon and rejoin their comrades. In modern war, the so-called lossen | published after a battle can be cut down to 35 or 40 per cent of the official numbers in as certaining the permanent diminutios of the forces, engaged. In this respect, however, battles differ widely. Sometimes actions fought at close quarters under peculiar conditions,
