A similar dis aster is reported from Bombay, where for some years two large Indian py- thons had occupied a cage in the museum of the Bombay Natural His tory society. There was some mis- understanding between them over a partridge. for they were found so tightly entangled in each others coils that the utmost endeavors of peace making keepers failed to effect a sep aration, and they were left to settle the matter according to their own lights.

the 10th of September.

Modern war is the greatest of fol-
lies. Companies of $50 men in the 10th
Army Corps have been reduced to sew
enty men, and there are companies of
the guard commanded by volunteers
Of a year, all the officers having dis
appeared"
The following is taken from a letter
written by German captain of infan-
try:
I'VE were surprised by the French
and lost my company. Searching for
it in village, was made a prisoner.
Now my fate is in the hands of God"
Many Killed, 800 Injured.
Another German officer. who was
captured at Rheims, said:
For tactical reasons the guard had
to retreat. We had many killed and
500 injured. The LIST Battalion of the
LIST Regiment of the Guard has not an
other officer. The French artillery de-
filed SO well that we could not discover
its site. Gen. Won Setback and the col
onel OF the I'd Regiment OF Artillery of
the Guard are among the killed.

evening OF the death of our comrades

The following is from a letter writ

THE 10th Corps has been constantly
in action since the opening Of the cam

fallen. We fight every day from S in

of the French is frightful. We get SO
tired that we cannot ride a horse, even
at a walk. Toward noon our battery

We hope for a decisive battle to end
the situation, for our troops cannot
rest. A French aviator last night

and wounding eight and killing twenty
horses and wounding ten more. We do
not receive any more mail, for the pos

PARIS, September 10, $500 m-The
official communications issued thus far
have neglected The question of losses
which in a fight such as the battle Of
the Marine, covering front OF $50
miles. are almost impossible to esti-
mate, even approximately.
Some unofficial reports have placed
the allies losses at $4,000 and those
of the Germans at 100000, In the series
of engagements comprised in the great
clash of arms. How near these hg-
ures are to the truth no one will know
until the official figures are compiled
However, the impression derived from
individual accounts of wounded SOL
diers and from prisoners. the only un-
official sources of information at pres,
eut. would indicate that these estimates
are conservative. The losses certainly
are the greatest on record and perhaps
the proportion for the Germans rs
greater than two to one in dead, at
least. % - =
Deeds Of Greatest Heroism.
If the press bureau communications
are silent on this subject the order OF
