THOUSANDS OF BULLETS
TO KILL ONE SOLDIER.
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON. Dec. 22.—One of the
things frequently noted by soldiers
at the front in writing to relatives and
friends is the extraordinary expendi
ture of bullets required to kill a man.
A German report states that many
German soldiers fired 4.000 cartridges
apiece during the first month of the
i war. An English observer estimated
that 25 German shells are wasted for
every man killed by them.
In 1870 it was calculated that the
Germans fired 150 bullets and six
shrapnel shells for every wounded
Frenchman. In the Russo-Japanese
War it is said .*1.000 bullets were fired
i
for every life lost.

December 16 declares that there
must be some secret history to be un

ten years have elapsed since the value
of the Matanuska coal was first pro

j open the fields. During that time, it
says, the government has paid a mil
lion a year to have coal shipped out to
the Pacific.
