NEXT EUROPEAN WAR.
ITS TERRIBLE COST. A RIiMAIIKABLE REPORT'. GERMANY'S IIUGK AKMV FORCES. Received 18, 10.30 p.m. Berlin, July 18. General Blume lias presented a report to tlie German General Staff, stating that Germany could nut 4% million soldiers in the field at tne next war, which would 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 war, would cause at least 900,000 casualties, and become a veritable orgy of blood.
