ABOUT 5,000,000 DEAD IN BATTLING ARMIES

New York. —From a careful study of what has been made public regarding casualties in the three years of war, it appears that about 5,000,000 combatants have lost their lives and about 5,000,000 have been killed, captured, reported missing or so badly wounded that they cannot return to the front. This takes no account of the millions of slightly wounded men.
