PARIS. September 10.
NO mention has been made in recent
communicates Of the losses In the fight
ing on the Marne and on the Alsne. II
IL almost impossible To estimate these
losses, even approximately. Unofficial
reports here have placed the allies losses
at 10000 and OF the Germans al 100 900
In the great engagement so far.
While there Is no way OF confirming
or contradictIng these estimates until
the official reports are made. the state
ments OF prisoners aud of wounded SOL
dIers would Indicate that they are con-
servatlve. IT nlso would appear that
the proportion Of the losses Of the
Germans 10 those Of the allies is at
least ? 10 / and perha ps greater.
