Losses at Liege.
IN the New York Times,

From the New York Times.
The taking Of Liege was accompanied
by a loss of German troops, as acknowl-
edged by the German officers. of $4,000
men. The loss of the victorious French
at Austerlitz in 1905 was only 1900 men
and at Jena in 1906 but 1000. The Ger
mans lost 1900 at Sedan, the eliminating
battle of the Franco-Prussian war. AT
Waterloo Wellington's losses were 22,OOO
This opening engagement in the war OF
Europe records heavier loss than the
victors sustained In the battles of Baut-
zen. Magenta. Marengo, Moscow, Sadowa
and Solferino. And it must be reckoned
only minor engagement. The main ar
mics Of the French and Germans have
yet to meet. The half million troops that
Great Britain is marshaling. the millions
that the czar is preparing to send down
across the Austrian and German borders,
have yet to render their account Of bat
tie with modern weapons. 1t was not
until the time of the Russo-Japanese war
that the casualties Of battle became SO
fearful. On the great battlefield Of shaho
in Manchuria the Russian combatants
numbered 100000 and their casualties
amounted to 1900 men.

The Canadian government is perfectly
right in going ahead with its war prep
arations. and depending upon the ap-
proval of parliament The purchase Of
the two Chilean submarines to help guard
the harbors of British Columbia-always
a part of the Borden policy-was a clever
step. abundantly justified by the presence
of German cruisers in Pacific waters. The
work of preparing our volunteers for CO.
operation with the British forces in Eu-
rope. is going steadily ahead: and there
ought to be nothing left for parliament
to do but add its blessing and vote the

BERLIN. via The Hague and Lon

tin given out today sets forth that the
operations in the East are progress
ing favorably. The Germans are ap-
parently using their victory at Wloz-

Russian army defeated near Lipno is
today probably in the vicinity Of
Plock and the forces defeated near
Wlozawek are now near Kutno and

For the continuation of operations.

Of the greatest Importance for the
German troops from thes region of
Soldau to make further progress
against the right wing of the main
Russian army. If the Russians in
tend to retire behind the vistula
such retreat, considering the ex-
tremely bad condition Of the roads,
would be most difficult. Consequent
ly the Russians probably will prefer
to make definite stand when the
Germans and Austrians attack. The
papers of. Berlin declare again today
that the fall of Belgrade, Servia, is
imminent. The fortress Of Przemysl,
now being besieged by the Russians,
is provisioned for twelve months.

lows:
1.-The day of yesterday passed much
as did the day before. There were
numerous artillery exchanges and
some isolated infantry attacks on the
part of the enemy, all of which were
repulsed. From the North sea to the
Iys the front was subjected to a fair
" active bombardment particularly
at Nieuport and to the east OF Ypres
Near Bixschcote the Zouaves charg-
ing with the bayonet brilliantly took
possession OF a forest which had been
disputed for three days. To the
south OF Ypres an offensive move
lnent on the part of the enemy was
repulsed. The English army also
maintained it's front. From Arras to
the Oise there is nothing new to re,
mort. In the region of Craonne our
artillery on several occasions secured
the advantage over the batteries OF
the enemy. The bombardment OF
Rheims has continued. From Rheims
to the Argonne there Is nothing new
to remit. In the region OF St
AIihfel in spite Of counter attacks by
the Germans we have retained ~ our
possession the western part of the
village OF Chauvoncourt. In AIsace
the Landwehr battalion sent into the
region of st. Marie-aux-Mines have
had to be taken out for the reason
that they lost one-half OF their effec-
tive strength.

In the meantime Russian progress continues through

of the recent order restricting the
outbound load OF foreign cars and
few other matters.
