BATTLE VICTIMS
NUMBER TENS Of
THOUSANDS DEAD
REPORTS AS TO OUTCOME VARY
FROM THE TWO
SOURCES

LONDON, Jan. 2S.--Paris estimates
that the German losses on the west
ern front in the last three days were
10000 men. In Craonne alone the
German dead number 5000. In this
particular fight the French give their
losses at 500. Paris has announced
that every German attack has been
repulsed and that every French at
tack has progressed. In upper Alsace
brisk fighting has been resumed, and
the battle of Craonne continues with
undiminished severity. Berlin claims
victories in Graonne and upper AL
SAGE, where they say the French re-
treated. 1t is asserted that the
French were heavy losers, $500 being
found dead in one place. Official re-
ports are so conflicting that the out
come of battles is left in doubt.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sr: l

genteel paper and have read II daily for
more than thirty years to improve my
mind. You annot imagine how dread

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir:
Apropos OF a recent official appeal urg-
ing the apothecaries OF Germany to
gather medicinal plants to be aid aside
as substitutes for important drugs
against a day OF impending scarcity.
THE SCN reads a moral lesson on the
absorbing question of preparedness. "One
may as reasonably anticipate Illness"

OF poisonous drugs for its treatment as

tions of war and the training OF u
citizens for the prevention OF possible
war Will hasten wars coming"

and war materials. II would be inter-
esting to learn in greater detail just

their use In the hands OF civilized and
