In the American army the casualty rate in the infnntry—was higher than in any other service, and that for offi cers was higher than for men. For every man killed In battle seven were wounded. Five out-of every six men sent.to hospitals otuTrccovmt of wounds were Washington.—The war cost the TJnlted States directly about $22,000,- 000,000, or nearly enough to pay the entire cost of running the American government from 1791 up to the out break of the European war. For every hundred American soldiers and sail- many two were killed or died of dis ease during the period of hostilities. "The number of men serving In the armed forces of the nation during the war was 4,800,000, of whom 4,000,000 served in the army.
