WAH UtAIH Hilt
IS ONLY 1.1
PER CENT
Washington, Sept. 13.—The com
mittee on Public Information has
obtained from official sources th.e
moat nearly accurate f.gures possible
on the percentage of fatalities In
relation to casualties on. the west
ern front. Thtse figures, taken
when the casualties were greatest
in proportion to mobilized strength;
and combined with the highest pro
portion of death*, show losses due
to deaths from wounds and killed
in action to be approximately 11
in every 1,000 of mobilized
strength, .
According to the figures pre
sented by the French High Commis
sioner in his letter to .the Sec
retary of War, th.e Jiigh-water mark
of casualties in tha French army
was reached early in the war—at
the battles of Charreol and the
Mame. The casualties in that per
iod were 5.41 \>er cent of the mo
bilized strength, or 641 men in
every 10,000 with tlxs colors.
Military experts in this country
agree that the killed in action and
died Of wounds hare never at any
time in this war exceeded 20 per
cent of the total casualties. This
gives a figure of 108.2 fatalities
from these causes in every 10,
000 mobilized strength, or prac
tically 11 men killed in action or
died of wounds for every 1,000 men
with the colon. _ _ • ^
