ENORMOUS LOSSES IN BATTLE
WITH FRENCH AND ENGLISH.
Request for ArmIstIce Of Twenty-four

MED by Frenehmen, who Estimate
German Losses at 10000.

Official reports from both Paris and
London indicate successful movements

lied armies against the Germans. Lon
don reports that the British have
pushed the opposing forces back ten
miles and that the allies are gaining
ground along the line Of the Oureq and
Petit NORM rivers.
Accounts of wounded soldiers who
reached Paris Tuesday afternoon indt-
cate that the result of the three days
lighting in the Champagne country has
been more favorable for the allies
than at first supposed. They say the
German losses in killed were enorm-
GUS, and that great number of pris-
oners were taken. One French officer
estimates the prisoners at 10000.
The Champagne district includes parts
Of the department Of Marine, Ardennes,
Aube and Haute-Marne.
With hundreds of thousands of
men engaged on both sides, the bat
tie now in full swing TO the east of
Paris promises to be the most import
ant of the campaign up to the pres

In reply to request by the Ger.

It seems that, under cover of the

new siege guns into position from
which they could concentrate their
FIRE ON a single point of the Namur
defences. The guns were at minimum
distance of three miles from the Bel

Using of Go to Church Sunday" may
result in awakening religious con-
seriousness. The hope is not likely to
be realized. There are too many &C.

was clearly shown in Denver when

the campaign succeeded in bringing in

is to be remembered that Denver is not

the purpose Of pacifying Ulster and

is quoted as saying that they will go
to an extent short of the exclusion

demand for exclusion under the Home

David Lloyd George was in Glasgow

the report.
