Calculations Are Based on Careful
Analysis of British Casualties Given
by Premier Asquith in the House of
Commons.
LONDON, June 19.-Hilaire Belloe
in Land and Water estimates the Ger
man and Austrian losses up to the pres
ent total as nearer 100000 than g.
100000 men. He bases his calculations
on careful analysis of the figures of
British casualties given by Mr.. As
quith in the House of Commons last
week
Those figures, he points, out, show
one-fifth of the total of 258,069 are
dead and the total British casualties
therefore work out five to one for each
life lost The total enemy losses he
estimates at six to one man killed
basing this multiple on the calculation
that their losses have been greater
than those of the allies.
Belloc believes this multiple is low
for the German lists of killed are be
lated and the Austrians lost enormously
more in proportion in prisoners thar
the British To the Prussian lists OF
killed must be added rather less thar
one fifth for the non-Psussian lists OF
the German empire and a further 81
per cent for Austria and Hungary. Null
tiplying these by six, Belloc arrives a
3 ,250,000 enemy casualties, excluding
sick, before the great Galician effort
which according to his estimate, can
not count for less than half million
This makes grand total of 3,750,00

BURLINGTON, June 1S.-Guy B.
Horton, president of the Advance
company announced yesterday that the

overwhelming majority.
Mr. Howard was born in Washington

founder of the Oldest and now one of
the largest jewelry houses on Fifth

editor was connected 81 years, when
he established the Arthur Howard
company of London, shipping agents
and clearing house for American jew
elry firms. Financially broken by the
panic of 1907 he went to Boston with
$25 in his pocket and soon to Salem.
The story of his life in Salem reads
like romance including much of melo
drama. His newspaper grew from q

PARIS, June 10. - The war office
gave out late yesterday a detailed
statement of the raid by French aero

officer taking part in the raid. The
statement, which admits the loss, of
two French machines, follows:
''The following detailed story of the
Karlsruhe raid has been given by a
French officer, who took part:
.. Flour air squadrons were secretly
prepared for the great venture, as well
as other aeroplanes, whose duty it was
to escort the raiding party over the
German lines and act as decoys to KEEP
the German guns busy until the real
raiders returned. At dawn Tuesday the
machines left the French lines and
rose to height of $4,000 feet. They
passed above the deeoys, who were
slowly flying backward and forward
