WAR AND ITS COST.
A German Report.
Bkkun, July 19
General Blume has presented a remarkable report to the German General Staff. He states that Germany could put million soldiers in the field in the next war, which will cost Germany 300 millions annually, apart from indirect financial and commercial losses, which would be far greater. If several European Powers were involved, as seemed likely, the cost would be proportionately greater.
General Blume estimates that a European war of the same duration as the Russo-Japanese was, would cause at least 900,000 casualties, and would become a veritable orgy of blood.
