Timely Statistics ol Cost, Mortality and Dooty Facts Worthy ol Pres ent Consideration. From the London Dally Mail. Those who like to feel their pulses stirred at the prospect of war must have been more In their element dur ing the past twelve months than for a quarter of a century. International situations and rumors of war have been the order of the day since. Strangely enough, though almost everybody talks glibly enough of war Just now, It Is gcnernlly agreed that no one can possibly realize, much less describe, what the horrors of the next grent war will be like. Perhaps the statistical method Is as effective as any in nn attempt to represent the results of war. In the last really great war that be tween Franco and Germany France lost as many as 1M.O0O men, of whom some SO.000 died of wounds received In battle, Hfi.000 by sickness, accident, sui cide, etc., and 20,000 In German pris ons. A French statistician estimates that his countrymen who were wound ed, but who survived, numbered 13S, 000, those Injured on the march or by accident 11,421. those who recovered from Illness 32R.O00, making a totnl of 477,421 direct sufferers. The Germans killed numbered 40,877; 17,253 died on the Held and 21.023 in the ambulances; making 70,l.r5 In all. The wounded who survived numbered lS,r.43 men. From first to last the German field artillery II red 340,000 shots and the Infantry 20, 000,000. The booty of war consisted of 5,52(5 fortress guns, 1,915 Held guns and rapld-llrlng cannon, 107 eagles and Hags, and 8"i.000 rifles, exclusive of what was raptured at leisure on aban doned fields. The monetary loss suffered by France was 12.CGG.IS7.522 francs,1 including '2, ;1S6,412,?."S frrncs for military expenses, 5.742.93S.S14 francs peld to Germany, loans 1.156,327,95 francs, losses suffered by the Hate. 2.003,?3!.000 francs, public works 207.239.S00 francs, indemnities paid by the state to departments, 004, 022,425 franc:', ilamiges hot no by the communes and not reimbursed by the state, C.33,007,000 francs.

Spnln at least Is concerned about the presence of the Holland and Plunger among our fighting vessels. It is re ported that Spain is seeking to acquire possession 'of the Russian submarine destroyer Invented by Serglus Rok osfpky and now lying somewhere In the waters of the czar's dominions, with the most particular cue taken to guard her against the prying eyes of foreign sple's. for fear that this trump card of the Russian navy bo rendered less effective wdien the time comes for Its use. by the fact that there are others of a like nature In existence. Should Spain acquire this boat the dream of Jules Verne will be Improved upon In a terrible manner, for the next naval war may witness n light beneath the waves, in which the combatants will be the submarine destroyers of the hostile nations. It would certainly be the strangest battle of the century and almost Impossible to Invest with more terrors than the mere fact of the fighting being all carried on beneath the waves can give it. One feature of such encounters, aw ful to contemplate, Is that no Inkling of the fate that befell the boats would ever come to the surface In tho event of nn encounter proving fatal. Be neath the surface of the water the hostile submarine craft would light It out with only the fishes as witnesses of the duel, nnd should both be blown up, ns will be not unlikely wheie the weapons are so destructive nnd so eas ily used, the boats will sink to the bottom without a ripple having ap peared above to inform the world above of tho fate of the fighters. A submarine boat's crew will say good by to friends with tho knowledge that they may never be hard of again af ter they dive beneath the waves on n hostile errand. It is dllllctilt to Imagine a more ter rible encounter than this one. There will be none of the noise and grandeur of n battle tinder the conditions of a naval fight on the surface of the ocean. Tho crews of the submarine boats, shut In a hermetically sealed case, will hear nothing and probably see little of the effect of their onslaught on the enemy. There will bo no cheers of victory to make dying less bitter to the fatally wounded. War will be robbed of all the pomp and ceremony with which romance clothes it to tlio disgust of those who have experienced Its real ities. Beneath the waves the submar ine duel will bo a silent, swift and ter rible encounter with escape from death depending on the hnir-breadth chances for all engaged in the light. In the submarine torpedo boat Hol land, tho United States possesses, it Is probable, tho most dangerous craft of the sort In existence. What she renlly can uuroinpllbh In tho way of damage only actual warfare will dem onstrate. Suflhient is known, howev er, to make the statement worthv of consideration that she has created more in the uuuirc of genuine con sternation among the naval powers ot Europe than anything of the sort that hns come into existence. Then there Is the Plunger, which was completed at Baltlmoro not so long ago. She will, her Inventor promises, perform won ders when she Is given u c bunco to show what she can renlly do. Theory is not the best basis In tho world on which to determine tho usefulness of a craft, but that Is what tho rankers of the Holland and thf Plunger have to lie content with in the main. Ono thing is certain: So far us uny one has been able to ascertain, no one has a submarine cruft which H in the .nmo class as those owned by the T'nlted Stutes.
