very far from comfortable, because most of their few railway connec- tions run parallel to the front in stead of directly away from it, and if these lines are cut their communi- cations will be seriously embarras ssed.
 The enormous difficulties, on the other hand, in the way of a German advance on Petrograd are shown clearly by the map. From the near est point to the Russian capital yet reached by the Germans the distance is more than $50 miles, and nearly all the way the land is a vast marsh, interspersed with small and large lakes and rivers. and there is only one easily destroyed railroad. The objective of the Germans in the flu ture. as in the past is likely to be the Russian field army. which still refuses to be cornered and still re- treats into the interior.

IF GERMAN ARMY
 MADE PUBLIC
Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Under Arms on Eastern and Western Fronts, Says Authorita- tive Statement.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

LONDON. Aug PA statement from a British authoritative source on Germany's strength in men and losses was made public today. The statement asserts that about last July the Ger mans had l 1.S00.0O0 men on the western front, 1,400.000 on the eastern front while a million, two hundred Austrians opposed the Russians. There were also large numbers of German troops in the various garrisOns, Qualifications and lines of communication in addition to convalescents, inValids and others.
 German casualties were reported on June 30, as 1.672,444 of whom 306.123 were killed, 15,S0S died of disease. 540,- 723 were missing, prisoners or out of action for the remainder of the war. Since June 90, there has been heavy fighting probably bringing the total loss up to two million for the year, says the statement
 Tt is impossible to say" the state ment declares, "how far the reserve troops have been armed and equipped but the fact that thetotal number of men on the two fronts is only three million. two hundred thousand appears to show this is about the largest num-
 
 equipped into the field The Germans from a date shortly after the outbreak of the war supplied their losses in the first line and reserve troops from the second and even the third line so it is safe to regard all German troops in the fighting line as much the same quality as the first few months of the war. It is calculated that the first line troops lost about fifty per cent in ca sualties and the reserves about twenty five per cent, their places being taken by recruits from the 1914 class. and other categories. Since then they have again lost about fifty percent in casu- alties so there probably remains only about twenty five per cent of the ori- ginal first line troops to which must be added men slightly wounded who have returned to fighting lines.'

County von Bernstorff, Ger man Ambassador, Ad- dresses State Department Expressing Regret of His Government.
THE TENSION IS
 GREATLY RELIEV ED
No Attempt Is Made to h. terpret the Ambassador $ Communication, but Off cials Say American Gov ernment Will Wait Word.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Count von ! Bernstorff, the German ambassador, communicated to the state department the instructions of his government eX- pressing regret and sympathy if Am orleans lost their lives in the sinking Of the Arabic and asking the United States to delay taking definite stand with regard to the affair until Germany could be heard from. This was the first word from an official German source concerning the Arabic on which two Americans perished.
 It's receipt was followed by evident relaxation of the tension which had been growing as the days passed with no indication of q desire on Germany's part to disclaim intention of commit ting an act deliberately unfriendly." No attempt was made either by the state department or at the White House to interpret the ambassadors communication.
 Officials merely said that of course the American government would await the German explanation fthe action of the German submarine commander in sinking the liner. Count von Berns- torff telegraph the state department from New York the text of his in structions from Berlin. It follows:
 So far, no official information is available concerning the sinking of the Arabic. The German government trust that the American government will not take a definite stand at hearing only the reports from one side, which in the opinion of the Imperial government cannot correspond with the facts, but that a chance will be given Germany to be heard equally. Although the Im- perial government does not doubt the good faith of the witnesses whose statements were reported by the news papers of Europe it should be borne in mind that these statements were na- turally made under an excitement which might easily produce a wrong impression. If Americans should have been actually lost this would naturally be contrary to our intentions. The German government would deeply re- gret such facts and begs to tender it's sincerest sympathy to the American government"
 Secretary Lansing indicated that he intended no reply to the ambassadors message at this time. He agreed to it's publication with the statement that he had no comment to make. Particular at tention was attracted by the assertion in the German communication that in the opinion of the Imperial government accounts fthe sinking of the Arabic which come from England could not correspond to the facts.

CARRANZA ONLY MAN
 TO RESTORE PEACE

MORALES. Aug. 24-Ignacio Ronillas. minister of communica- tions and public works in the Carranza cabinet. arrived here on his way from the west coast to Vera Cruz in anwser to a sum- mons to join in moving the Car ranza government to Mexico City He says that Carranza is the only man capable of restoring lasting peace. He said that a lasting peace under correct principles would better than to compro- mise with enemies working for pillage rather than the welfare If the country. He said the Carranza policy was not to con- fiscate large estate except it was obtained by fraud. Carranza is an admirer of American insti- tutions and has already establish ed I50 schools. The American system of administering justice will probably be adopted. The harbors of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Mexico will be repaired and the repairing of railroads and telegraph lines of the country is being pressed.

With the fall of Kovno into Ger man hands. the eastern battle front is more nearly straight, as can be seen by the map. than it has been since early last spring. From near Riga. south along the Petrograd- Wilma Bielostok railway, the line runs along the arc of a very large circle, clear to Kovel, which is on the edge of the vast swamps of Volhynia, covering the Russian southern flank.
 The Russians position, however, is
