WHAT WAR MEANS.
The Balkan war has given this generation of Europeans some idea of what war means in detail. A Bavarian newspaper, an organ of the Catholic Centre Party, presents its readers with a record of the wars of the last fitly years. Under a series of pictures of fallen soldiers on the battlefield, it gives the number of killed in each great war of the past half century, with the strange exception of the Boer war. Here is the record ; Crimean War 75°,000 Italian War of lßs9-6o 45,000 American Civil War, 1861-65 800,000 Danish War of 1864 8,000 Austro-Prussian W ar, 1866 45.000 Franco-German War 215,000 Russo-Turkish War 250,000
Russo-Japanese War 200,000
These figures show that uo less than 2,313,000 men were killed in these wars.
