German Losses Heavy.

Official casualty lists of recent date
which have been captured show that
the losses Of the Germans continue to
be heavy. One single list shows that
a company of German infantry had 1873
men killed and wounded. or more than
half of its war establishment. Other
companies suffered almost as heavily.
'It further appears that the number
Of men missing-that Is. those who have
fallen into the hands Of the enemy or
who have become marauders-is much
greater in the reserve battalions than
in the first-line units. This is evidence
of the inferior quality of some OF the
reserves now being brought up to re
inforce the enemy's field army. and 1T
Is all the more encouraging since every
day adds to our first-line strength.

another in the same general line will
continue to resist for a considerable
time. In some villages the inhabitants
meet our cyclists with kisses. while
at the next one the roads will, in all
probability, have the trenches cut across
them and be blocked with barricades
and machine guns. Under these cir
cumstances an incautiouS advance is
severely punished and 1t is impossible
for large bodies of troops to push on
until the front has been thoroughly re-
-connoitered- This work requires the
highest qualities from our cavalry, our
cyclists and our advance guards.
Armored Cars Effective.
"Armored motor cars equipped with
machine guns are now playing a part In
the war and have been most successful
in dealing with small parties of Ger
man mounted troops. In their employ
ment our gallant allies. the Belgians,
who are now fighting with us and ac-

themselves to be experts. They appear

Fighting Along the Aisne.
although the struggle in the north
ern area naturally attracts more at
tention than the one on the Aisne, the
fighting in this region still continues.
Although there has been no alteration
in the general situation, the enemy has
made certain changes in the position of
his heavy artillery, with the result that
one or two places which formerly were
safe are now open to lombard
ment. while others which were ap-
proachable only at night or by crawl
ing on hands and knees now serve as
recreation grounds. At one point even
a marquee tent has been erected.

RED CROSS RECEPTION
IN ST0CKHOLM CORDIAL
Dr.. E. H. Egbert Tells in Letters
Home of Arrival in
Sweden.

Paths of lavish entertainment led the
wav Of the American Red Cross units
to Russia, entertainments by prime
ministers, foreign ministers. grand
dukes and grand duchesses and just
plain dukes and duchesses, all trying to
outdo each other in bidding the Amerl-
can relief parties godspeed. But the
parties are constantly forced to think
of home, as the orchestras at the places
Of entertainment play everything from
"Old Black Joe" to the "Suwanee River
and from yankee Doodle" to THE
Star Spangled Banner"
"They bring the tears mighty near
the surface" said DR.. Edward H. Eg-
bert of this city, in one of two letters
which his mother received from him.
Both letters are from Stockholm, one
dated October and the other one day
later.
Stockholm was reached after boat
ride of 400 miles and a train ride OF
twelve hours, said DR.. Egbert. On the
way across the North sea there was
heavy gale and high sea: the boat
was packed with refugees. The pass
age to Stockholm had to be reached IN
roundabout way on account OF the
mines.
At the time of writing his first letter
Dr. Egbert said he just returned from
tea given in honor of the American Red
Cross party by the Swedish Red Cross.
He said Stockholm was more like WASH
ington than any place which he had
visited on his trip-so many pretty
buildings.

Enemy Is Driven Back.

"On the 14th our left wing advanced,
driving the enemy back, and on the
night of the 18th we were in posses
sion of all the country on the left
bank of the Lys to a point five miles
below Armentieres. The enemy retired
from that town on the 10th, and the
river line to within short distance
of Frelingheien fell into our hands.
THE state of the crossings over the
Lys indicated that no organized scheme
of defense had been executed, some of
the bridges being in state of repair.
others merely barricaded, while one
was not even defended or broken.
The resistance offered to our ad-
vance the 18th was of a most de-
termined character. The fighting con-
sisted of fiercely contested encounters,
infantry attacks on the villages being
unavailing until our howitzers reduced
the houses to ruins Other villages
were taken and retaken three times
before they were finally secured.

the enemy advanced from the north

ing from Mont Descats, about ten miles
northeast of Hazebrouck. through
Meteren. five miles south of that point,
and then on to Estaires, thirteen miles
west of Lille, on the River Lys. The
statement continues:
South Of the Lys his line extended
to three miles east of Bethune and
Vermelles. The allies encountered re-
sistance all along the line on the 18th
and 18th, when the enemy's right fell
back hastily. Bailleul, seventeen miles
northwest by west of Lille, which had
been occupied by the foe for eight
days. was abandoned without a shot
being fired

Hold Villages on Lys.

During the 18th, 18th and 18th of
October our right encountered strong
opposition from the enemy about La
Bassee, where they had established
themselves behind embankments. On
the center and the left we made bet
ter progress. although the Germans
were everywhere intrenched, and, in
spite of the bombardment, held some
villages on the Lys.
Eat the close of each day a night
cou . stroke was delivered against
one or another part of our line. but
they were all repulsed.
TUESDAY, OctoAr 20, a determined
but unsuccessful attack was made
against virtually the whole of our
line At one point. where one of our
brigades made a counter attack, 1.10O
German dead were found in a trench
and forty prisoners were taken"
The narrative points out that the
advance of the allies has been hindered
by the weather and the nature of the
ground, together with the impossibility
of knowing beforehand the reception
that advance detachments were likely
to meet in approaching any village or
town.

Support From French.

"The French cavalry here gave well
come support, and the evening of the
18th the resistance was overcome, the
enemy retiring five miles to the east
ward"
Describing an incident of the fighting
this night. the narrative says that the
important crossing of the Lys at
Warneton was strongly held by the
Germans, with a barricade loopholed
at the bottom to enable the men to fire
while lying down.
Our cavalry. with the artillery, blew
the barricade to pieces and scattered
the defenders" the narrative continues.
advancing three-quarters of a mile
our troops reached the square, when
one of the buildings appeared to leap
skyward A sheet of flame and a
shower of star shells at the same
time made the place as light as day,
and enabled the enemy, ensconsed in
surrounding houses, to pour de-
vastating fire from rifles and machine
guns. Our cavalry extricated them
selves with loss of one officer wound
ed and nine men killed and wounded,
but a party of volunteers went back
and carried off their wounded COM
rades from the inferno.

Eager to Get to Work.

After telling of luncheon arranged
by the Russian minister to Sweden, DR..
Egbert said: Such a royal greeting as
we have received here. I must go now,
as I have an appointment with some
newspaper men for an interview. The
newspaper men have tried to get from
me statements of how America stands.
I'm one of the finest little news givers.
but nothing like that goes out from
me- Everybody is crazy to learn how
the United States stands with regard to
the war Although the party is enjoy
ing the entertainments, they are eager
to get to the base of operations and to
get to work"
Mrs. Egbert at her home in the Cairo
and from press dispatches traces the
movements of he- sons party en- route
to Kief where the base hospital will be
established. She is also keeping a
scrapbook of the press clippings telling
of the movements of the unit of which
her son is the surgeon in chief.

Difficulties With Languages.

DR.. Egbert tells Of his difficulties with
foreign languages. but says he now I'M
derstands French and German very well,
but Russian not at all He sent his
mother a notice Of some kind printed in
Russian, declaring 1t sounded when
spoken like a keg of nails falling down
stairs, land it sounds worse than 1t
looks" he added.
In Russia 1t will be necessary for the
Red Cross party to give up their Ameri-
can uniforms and to don the Russian
uniform. This was believed to be neces-
sary by the Russian government, as
some excited soldier. seeing the strange
uniform and not knowing 1t. might be
tempted to do harm. There will be delay
in Petrograd on that account. he said.
He has praise for the Germans. being
prompted by German officer that he
met, at one of the teas arranged for the
American Red Cross. He was on three
weeks leave, and was one of the finest
fellows 1 ever met. If all Germans were
like him there would have been no war.
In two weeks he expected to go to the
front, and never expected to see his
wife or children again"
