it is. Experts from other gas fields

GERMANS ATTEMPT TO
CROSS The Y!sTULA

Petrograd, Oct. 21.-Offcial state
ments say that the Germans attempt
ed to cross the Vistula river at sew
eral points despite very heavy rains.
At no point, says the statement, have
they succeeded.
The Russians are said to be ad-
vancing steadily, although slow on the
Ivangorod frontier, driving the Ger
mans before them. According to a
statement published in the Army Ga
zette some $4,000 German dead, left
on the field by the retreating Ger
mans, were buried by the Russians.
The war Office states that the Ger
man right wing, which extends into
Galicia, has formed junction with
the Austrians, but at no point has the
Germans and Austrians succeeded in
gaining any distinct advantage. The
Austrians have attempted to cross
the San river only to be repulsed with
heavy losses, while $50 officers and
many soldiers have been taken pris'
oners.

GERMANS FIGHTING
TO REACH DUNK|RK


Paris, Oct. 21.-The Germans are
continuing thei- efforts to break
through the allies Gordon to attack
Dunkirk, the main objective of the
present campaign.
Reports tell of heavy fighting in
the vicinity of Dixmude and Roulers.
A series of attacks in force were de.
livered by the Germans, but accord.
ing to military headquarters here all
failed.
There are significant rumors of
impending trouble for the Germans
from the north through bold strike
by the allies. Reports are current
here that the allies have been able
to land a strong force either at or
near Ostend Under the guns of the
British fleet If this should turn out
to be true the Germans would be
menaced by an attack from the rear.
Fighting without definite results
continues at Coutrai, in the vicinity
of Lille, and along the Lys river and
the La Basse canal.

SURVEY MEAT PRODUCTION
Equalization Would Restore Prices to

Chicago, Oct. 21.-The equalization

animals, according to the first report
of the committee appointed a year
ago.
Announcement of the committees
program was sent to the American
Meat Packers association by Beverly
T. Galloway of Cornell university,

A careful study of the subject is to
be undertaken under two heads:
First, a general investigation of the
methods of producing, slaughtering
and distributing meat products to de.
termine what is to be done to increase
production in the United States.
Second, general investigation of

TOTAL CASUALTIES
PLACED At 100000

New York, Oct. 21.-Estimating the
casualties among the eight hostile ma
tions on the proportionate basis Of
British losses the total number Of
killed, wounded and captured during
the first ten weeks of the war is
nearly 100000.
The official report of British casual
ties from Sept. IS to Oct. 8, which has
just been issued, places the number
at 1886. Previous reports have CIV
en- the British casualties from the be-
ginning of the war to Sept. 10 as ap-
proximately $4,000.
The total British losses for the first
ten weeks of hostilities, therefore,
aggregate about $4,000. The total
British forces combating on the fight.
ing line Is placed at 100000.
The British losses. therefore, are 16
per cent Of this number, and by using
16 per cent as the basis of losses Of
all hostile powers the total casual
ties by minimum reckoning are about
100000.
