FIRST ARMIES WIPED OUT

BERLfS. via Amsterdam. Sept. l.
Germany has made 1.10o.o 900 Russian
prisoners since May . and the Russian
losses In. killed and wounded since that
date amount to 800. 900 men, according
to a so-called conservative estimate
contained in an official review OF the
eastern campaign given out by the
Overseas News Agency to-day. The
agency says
General army headquarters publishes
a review OF the results OF offensive
movements In Poland and Russia since
May .. beginning with the battle at
Gorlice. Army headquarters estimates
the strength OF the Russian troops
which were then directly engaged in
that region was about l,400, 900. In
the fighting since May 2 1900 o have
been captured and a minimum Of 300.-
900 wounded or killed.
This IL a very conservative estimate.
The actual figures are surely higher,
because the Russians saved artillery by
recklessly sacrificing their infantry. 1t
Is thus evident that the armies which
were first attacked at the beginning Of
the Austro-German offensive movement
were annihiliated and their losses. made
up by withdra wing troops from other
regions. especially forces which were
ready TO invade Turkey. Garrisons OF
half drilled men were hurriedly trans
ported To the front from interior fort
resses.
"All efforts OF the Russians were fruit
