APPALLING WAR LOSSES

The computations of the bloody
costs of war recently submitted to the
French senate, though said to be bas-
ed on the best available information,
seem to be excessive. The casualties
of killed, wounded and missing among
the allies are estimated at 5,463, 900
and for the Teutonic alliance $780,
900, grand total of about fourteen and
a half millions. The death list of the
allies is believed to have risen to 1,739,
900 and that of the Teutons to $780,
600. The killed are distributed &c fol-
lows: Belgians, $4,000; Turks, no.
600; English, 100000; French, 46O,-
600; Russians, 1,250,OO0; Austrians,
100000; Germans, 1,163,000. The
Servian and Italian dead are not given
in detail
A record of fourteen and a half
million killed, wounded and missing
for seven of the nations engaged in
war for little more than a year is ap-
palling, and many will be glad to
think there is a reason to believe that
he figures are in considerable part the
result of guesswork. Some weeks ago
it was reported that Germany had
stopped publishing casualty lists and
Russia and France were said to have
avoided such publication from the
outset. Even England sought to veil
the naked horror, apparently, by pub
fishing in installments. Why the
French senate sees fit to make public
such appalling figures now we can
only conjecture. Although it seems
safe to conclude that such an estimate
is exaggerated, even if cnt down one
half the total would be horrifying.-

he attack from Sulva bay was no;
developed quickly enough and, as re-
counted on the 18th. was brought to a
standsIill after an advance of about q
miles. The ground gained by both at
tacks was sufficient, however, to enable
their lines 10 be connected along a front
of more than u miles.
Further reinforcements having arriv-
ed, renewed attack was made on the
list on the center of this new and eX-
tended line. The Australian and New
Zealand troops steadily advanced about
three-quarters OF mile and a strong
system of knobs and underfeatures was
secured.
On the rest of the battle front ad-
vanced Turkish trenches were stormed.
All the divisions engaged reached points
on the slopes and spurs of hills which
form the enemy's center, but after sew
