SAYS GERMANS LOST 100000

LONDON, Sept 5.-The correspondent oi the Dally Mail in the French portion o the war territory estimates the losses of the Germans since the beginning of the war at two hundred thousand He estimates the losses o the allies at only forty thousand He declares that the sheer weight of numbers pressed the Germans forward at the rate of twenty miles day He also says that the Germans show no superiority in artillery or in transport and that to numbers alone ey their advance across France and Belgium He declares that the amazing speed with which the invaders travelled cannot be taken as an
 indication that the allied forces did not make determn ed resistance although he points out that probably in the history of wars no quicker march hostile country was ever effected This latter fact has been the most as founding one to the British people in connection with the war That an enormous army could face strenuous and bloody opposition without any opposition is something that cannot be understood unless be explained by the almost Superhuman perfection to which science has brought the German soldier.

TWO BRITISH BOATS SUNK

LONDON. Sept IA censored dispatch received here announces that two British boats have been sunk m the North Sea by German mines. Both vessels belonged to the British fleet but not important ships One was the old torpedo gunbOat called Speedy and the other was small vessel called the LinSel The manner In which the dispatch has been censored however has created feeling of some doubt that the whole truth has been made known The very effort to emphasize the SmalnesS and unmpOrtance of the vessels sunk is regarded as Sgnll- cant The Germans more active than ever m the work of laying mines and the loss of the two vessels shows that the danger is great
 Since the appeal of Prime Minister Asquth for more volunteers the recruiting offices constantly beSeged by men who want go out and fight The large business houses have kept open the positions of their assistants who joining the cOOrS that no loss will come to the young men that respect Most of those joining wifi probably be kept at home to defend the coasts of the Brit iSh islands from attack while the trained troops sent abroad The Indian troops will most likely not be used in the war as there is strong desire to guard against any trouble in that quarter Britain will not be satisfied until she has at least one million men in addition to those all ready under arms.
