Enormous Number of Prisoners
Official Berlin statements, which
correspond closely with those previ-
ously received and with Berlin and
Russian casualty lists, state that
240, 900 prisoners have been taken
since the beginning of the war, and
that they are to be put to work.
or these, about 100, 900 are Rus
slams, 40, 900 Belgians, 1000 English
and SO 900 French. No confirmation
can be obtained from Belgian and
French sources OF these figures, for
nothing has been given out regarding
the losses of these nations; but the
Belgian prisoners probably number
about 40 900, for only about 80, 900
men, at most, are left Of the Belgian
army.
English troops are said to have
come to the aid OF Antwerp, and Bel
GUM declares that the forts hold

made regarding Liege, long after the
city had fallen. Germany maintains
that wide breach has been made in
the first line OF defense and that the
second line is now open to attack.
Germany has warned neuteral ship
ping that England is planting mines
in the North sea. Berlin hears that
Portuguese troops are being taken
aboard British ships at Lisbon for
service against Germany. Some weeks
ago Portugal announced that its "an-
Gent treaty" with England would
compel it to support that country.
Germany now expects war with the
new republic.
