G Of ReIgiara French and Russian terri tory. also many prisoners of the AI- lies while on the other hand the Allies have few miles of German territory and comparatively few German prs oners. is the substance of a letter which Prof. Carl Duesing of Kiel Royal Naval university has written to his brother, pr. Hermann Dueslng, or 1,169 East Main Street, this city In part the letter says:
 As the war was one year old yes terday. let us look over the booty of the first year of war The Teutonic allies have oeupied Of Belgium, 29 GOO square kiIometers; of France, 2l,0O0 square kiloneters; of Russia 10000 square kiIometers.
 { ssThe Allies have occupied: Of Ger many (Alsacel, 1.050 square kilome-s ters and of Austrian Galicia, 10000 square kilometers. The Teutonic All lies have 180 900 square kilometers; the Allies only 11,05o square kiiometers oe- cupieds The Russians have still one- ninth of GaEcia occupied.
 Prisoners. We have the following numbers of prisoners: In German prison camps and hospitals, 898 ,S69; en- gagged as workingmen, 10000; captured prison camps, 12O.000. This makes g total for Germany of 1068, ,s69 prison CTS. Austria has 636,534 fprisonerss to- tai Is 1, 1,695. 400 prisoners in Germany and Austria-Hungary- Among the captured Russians are: In Germany. 3,19o officers. 610,000 men, Grand total of Russian prisoners in Gefmanys and Austria, 8,790 officers and 133, GOO men. Captured cann9nl 5.835, and 1.556 ma chine guns in the interior of Germany up to June. great amount of cap tured cannon and machine guns were never sent to the interior. but were kept eby the victorious army, turned around and used against the enemy We have no exact figures about these But it is believed that the booty of the first year of war was. 1000 to 8, GOO can44on and 2,0o0 to 3, 900 machine guns. Another exchange of invalids has been made in July between Germany and France We returned to France 30t officers and 400 invalid French sol-s diers. and 3 900 captured members of the French Red Cross As exchange France has sent us 15 officers and TOO invalid German soldiers and 600 cap tured members of the German Red Cross.
 The Italians made another attack along the Tsonza river against the Aunstrian positions; 1T divisions of in fantry. that means 250. GOO Italians, stormed for two weeks. At the end Of this time they had total Joss of toner's.
 ssIn your last letter T found a clip ping of a newspaper in which the fol- lowing statement was made: Paris, July The secretary Of war Said to day ito a reporter of tho Associated Press, that the French artillery has during the whole war never used any ammunition which was made in the U. S.. Further: Washington. D. C.. Julys1. The French annbassador today affirmed the above statement and as- sured that the French government has never bought any ammunition in the U s.
 4'But a fact is, that almost every grenade fired by the French at the Germans. carries an American. trade mark Perhaps it is possible that the French government buys the annunf- ton of the British government. which imports it from the United States Tn that way the French might believe that this ammunition was made in Great Britain.
