Great Britain engaged in the various
smaller wars in Africa and the Near

Britain has issued an official list of
the total casualties In Europe. On

tary Of war, announced tne total Of
British losses since the beginning On
the fighting at f3s;s47 men. This
was after eight months of lighting.
The last two months consequently.
have resulted in roughly 1fe,0oo

Four months ago. or after six
months OF fighting, It was announced
officialiy that Great Britain mad lost
10000 men in killed. wounded and
missing. The figures announced to-
day show the losses In the last four
months OF the war amounted TO 1884,
600, or so, GOO more than In the first
six months. The increasing losses
may be accounted for not only by the
heavy lighting of the Spring. but by
the fact that the British Army now
on the Continent is much larger than
during the early part II the war.
The past three months have seen
particularly heavy losses. During the
