Reports from the French war office
state that the losses OF the French
army In killed. seriously wounded and

slightly more than 590,OOD. OF this
number nearly 100000 have been killed

published from time to time, now
amounts to about 10000. The British
list OF dead to the middle of Noyemb Der
is reported at 10000; the Russian list

France has had more men In the
field than either of her allies, and
her army suffered the earliest losses.
Statements of Austrian, Belgian and
Servian casualties are unavailable. Il
Is needless to say they are very heavy.
Austria has put million and a half
men in the field and they have been
fighting constantly and desperately in
both western, eastern and southern
areas. Belginm's little army, origi.
nally about 100000 strong, has swum
