SURPRISING FIGURESTAKEN FROM HISTORY
The Long Bom and the Cloth Yard
Shaft Killed Mere of the Enemy
Than Modern Shot and Shell
- Head and 'Wonder.
The horror of war increases part passu
with the advance of civilization, and the
value set upon life has risen proportion
ately with our Ability to appreciate Its
pleasures, its mutuality and associations.
Our interests are more catholic, our sensi
bilities mora acute. We have eliminated
from our habits and customs that ferocity
of temperament whose excitement could be
appeased with nothing; short Of bloodihed.
and have, to a large extent, lost our fa
molarity with death In Its most violent
forms which hardened the sentiments of
less law abiding ancestors.
The modern newspaper, the telegraph and
the ubiquitous war correspondent have done
much to unnerve us nowadays with their
speedy lints of dead and wounded friends
and relatives, whereas of old the news
was broken to us much more gradually and
after a considerable Interval had allowed
some period of preparation for the sorrow
ful tidings. How. for instance, would this
generation face such losses as those of
Crecy and Aglncourt, If they figured in
our telegraphies reports today, when we
regard with shrinking such casualty lists
as those of Colenso and Kin Chau?
Partly the sentlmentalism of uD-to-date
journalism, partly our own modern, sensi
bility of nature, hns disposed us to regard
any battle losses over 1,000 as "terrible."
But the strange truth is the further that
we go back In the history of war we shall
notice an extraordinary increase in t the
proportion of losses to the numbers en
gaged, until we begin to realize that 'the
long bow and cloth yard shaft of our
ancestors were much more deadly weapons
than the modern magazine rifle, with Its
diminutive bullot and high velocity.
Discredited Claims.
Such facts would doubtless have con.
founded M. Bloch, whose favorite conten
tion it was that owing to the deadlines
of modern weapons war was rapidly be
coming Impossible. A closer study of his
tory would have taught him that the dis
covery of gunpowder was in reality a
beneficent invention which has enabled an
armed struggle to be deoided without the
former necessity for prolonged close-quarter
fighting and the deadly weapons of
the melee. Moreover, the abolition of the
ponderous armor of , the ancient nrarrlor,
together with tho Introduction of a lighter
equipment, has synchronized with the
growth of maneuvering power and the
assertion of superiority In the field by the
application of successful tactics, and with
fje defeat by disorganisation of an enemy's
array In place of the heavy bludgeoning of
former days.
' It cannot be charged that men are less
eourageoua nowadays whi n they are cailed
sxpon to face much more terrifying instru
ments of warfare. Hut the fact remains

flrli artillery and high explosive shells
are productive of nothing like such an
amount of slaughter as the longbow, the
battleax and the sword In the hands of our
fighting ancestors.
If we take battles like Colenso and Kin
Chau since the employment of magazine
rifles, and qulck-nring artillery, and com
pare them with engagements such as
Crey, Poitiers, or Aglncourt, we can not
fall to be impressed with tho astonishing
discrepancy In the casualty lints. In Gcn
Bullers's attack on the Boers at the battlo
of Colenso his men presented as fair a
mark for the action of the modern fire
arm as the Boers could have deseed. Yet,
as a result of several hours' hot fighting,
during which many bra deeds were done
by officers and men, who recklessly ex
posed themselves to a stovin of bullets
and shell Ore, his losses were not more
than 1,100 men out of a for&e cf 25,000 to
80,000, while those of the Boevs were prob
ably far less.
Slaughter at Aglkcjoort.
Compare such a casualty list with the
slaughter at Aglncourt In 1415, a battle
which lasted for not much longer than
three hour between an English force of
14,000 men under Henry V, and 60,000
French led by their constable It was the
longbow and the clothyard shaft which
broke the French array, and was the most
potvjnt agent of destruction on that great
day In military annals. Over 10,000 French
were slain outright, and two or three
times that number were woetpded.
With the results of this three hours'
battle it Is interesting, to contrast the six
teen hours' struggle at Kin Chau between
the Russians and Japanese, where both
sides were armed to the teeJlh with mod
ern weapons, and a position of enormous
strength was defended and taken after
successive assaults in the fa.ee of an ap
parently murderous fire from heavy ar
tillery and magazine rifles. At the end of
this prolonged contest the losses of the
victors, compelled to advance through the
fire-swept sone In front of N(in Shan, were
no more than 4,000 men, of whom only 760
were killed, out of a total farce of about
60,000.
How Infinitely more terrible again was
the work of the bow and the battleax at
the battle of Crecy in 1348, when Edward
III, and his son, the black prince, routed
the great army of Philip of France. The
English army numbered 80,000 men, that of
Philip 120,000. Again the longbow proved
Its terrible effectiveness. The French were
utterly unable to sustain the heavy lire of
Its yard-long projectiles against which
armor was but an Indifferent protection.
and were routed with the loss of 1,200
knights, 1,400 esquires and 34,000 men, of
whom no less than 30,000 were killed out
right. The same heavy casualty lists were
noticeable at the battle of Poitiers, where
12,000 English defeated 80.000 French, and
so terrible was the execution done by the
English bowmen that 11,000 of their enemy
were slain outright. Both Hastings and
Bannockburn bear additional testimony to
the formidable and deadly character of
these old battles. At the former. 30,000 men
fell on both sides, while the latter resulted
In total losses of 38,000, in both cases a
heavy percentage of the numbers engaged.
Smaller Casnalty List.
As we gradually approach our own time
we shall And not only that the proportion
of those actually slain In battle to the
numbers of those who are wounded show a
sensible decrease, but that the total
casualty lists are almost invariably smaller,
in proportion to the numbers engaged, in
spite of the fact that the weapons, of war
are always described as growing more and
more deudly. In the campaigns of Marl
borough there was tUU much hand-to-hand
fighting, for, although artillery had taken
Its place in the battlefield, the Infantry
firearm was possessed of little range or
accuracy. Accordingly, at Blenheim and
ieuijji.hu.1, iwv vi me most Diooqy etrug- f
gles of later time, although the slain show I
a decreasing ratio, the losses on both sid a,
out of a total of about 150,000 couibata its'
were, In the former engagement, 41,000
killed, wounded sad prisoners, hl' tn
cost of driving the French from a strong
position at Malplaquet was 20,000 k Jled anil
wounded out of a force of about bo.ooo.
Although In the larger armlr 0f more
modern times losses have reached, tn many
Instances, a high figure, yet t'je percentage
of slaughter, especially of killed or woundad
combatants, has shown a remarkable de
crease from the horrible Agures of ancient
tattles and sieges, befofje the discovery of
gunpowder and the increasing perfection of
firearms paradoxical s It may "appear

carried on at such a distance and In sep
arate bodies of infinitely greater maneuver
ing power, that the least tactical advan
tage becomes Instantly obvious, while the
abandonment of armies and the ponderous
weapons of tho melee has endowed bodies
ef troops with superior mobility, both In
advance and retreat. In old days, when
the effective range of the longbow was not
more than eighteen to twenty score yards,
a battle could only be decided by armies
coming to close quarters at an early stage
of the combat. The consequence was they
became so Intermingled that they could,
with difficulty, be separated, ..and. Indeed,
th victcr was often quito unable to feel
assured of success until he found no more
of his opponents to slaughter. Moreover, It
was much more difficult to make effective
use of cover then than now, and the bow
man of Aglncourt was debarred from the
use of his weapon In the prone position
adopted by his successor, the rifleman of
today.
The romance of war once associated with
tie gallantry of hauberk and helm and the
g .'tterlng blazon of heraldry Is a fascinat
ing regret at this distance of time. But,
as we speak with bated breath In these less
warlike times of the deadlines of scientific
armaments and warfare, or shiver at the
reports of "terrible" losses in the field, it
will be well to remember that we are
alarming ourselves quite unnecessarily, and
that our warrior ancestors went Into action
with far greater odds on their becoming
dust and their good swords, rust than does
the soldier who goes up to battle against
the lend-pumplng weapons of today.-8t.

ONE of they most wonderful
events In the history of
medicine Is the multitude of en
dorsements which Peruna Is re-
.celving as a catarrh cure from
men of national Importance.
The most distinguished men
of the United States have no
hesitation In lending their in
fluence to assist In letting the
public know of the merits of Peruna.
Nearly one half the people are In some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore tt is
almost a national curse, and it Is of na
tional Import that the people should know
of Peruna.
Catarrh Is an American disease. Peruna
Is an American remedy.
Catarrh Is a result of changeable climate.
Peruna Is a result of long and careful ex
perimentation Catarrh enters the system through the
nerve centers and affects the mucous mem
branes. Peruna enables the nerve centers
to repel and expel the catarrh from the
system. (
Catarrh is a systemic disease and cura
ble only by a systemlo treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh must aim
directly at the depressed nerve centers.
This is what Peruna does.
