BERLIN SAYS FOE
LOST 100000
Asserts SOmme and Rus
sian Drives Each Cost
Million Men

Berlin, Oct. Ii (by wireless to Say
Vile, n. Y.)-British and French divi-
sions, with a total of more than 1,OO0,-
900 men, have been virtually annihilat-
ed in the Somme battle, says the mill
tary critic of the Overseas News
Agency.
According TO figures from Swiss
sources. as given by the news agency,
the Russian losses from June to oc-
tober were about 100000 men.
The military critic writes:
"The heavy sacrifice made by the
British and French for the recapturs
of each square ward OF the Somme Is
proved by the fact that in three and
one-half months about ninety French
divisions were virtually annihilated, so
that it was necessary to withdraw them
forever. Ninety divisions represents
a total of considerably more than J.
100000 men. There are about 1000
men in a French division, and l9,OOO
in a British division.)
"These divisions disappeared com
pletely from battle. Fifty-hve divi-
sions. in consequence of their great
losses. were able 10 engage in combat
only twice, fifteen divisions three
times, and only one was able 70 engage
in combat four times. Four divisions
suffered so severely after their second
engagement that il was necessary to
send them to quiet sectors, but on
critical DAYS they were again thrown IN.
"From the beginning Of the offensive
178 divisions (about 3,67O,OOO men were
launched against the German positions
on the Somme," the critic continues.
Referring to the total losses OF the
Russians, he says:
"A Russian official at Kiev. according
to Swiss paper, numbers the Russian
casualties from June to October z at
10000 officers and 922,5OO of other
ranks. These gigantic figures are COM
prehensible only if the great Russian
losses before separate sectors on our
front are considered. The Siberian
corps. which are the best in the Rus
sian army, were simply annihilated.
Among the prisoners from one corps
which was still called Siberian 10 per
cent were Southern Russians and 20
ner cent other races. Some non-com-
missioned officers declared that nearly
all the Siberian regiments had lost not
only their active strength, but theif
reserves"

BY J. L. GARV1N.

London, Oct live expect that py
the end of October the Germans on
the Somme will have suffered hall
million casualties and left nearly lOO,-
900 prisoners in the hands of the Al
lies. That means progressive defeat
on a scale to which Jena was scuffie,
and IL the French part in that victory
is glorious the British share is one OF
tho greatest things in the history OF
arms.
And il is only beginning. While
there is immeasurable exultation at
the front. where the sense Of assured
mastery runs like wine through the
veins Of men, there is immovable quiet
ness at home. Both moods are as they
should be and promise well.
But if we in England are not to be
betrayed into excitement no one mis-
takes what is happening. The Germans
in the west are on the ebb. Their re-
treat has begun. II is slow. gradual.
but it is the unmistakable movement.
Napoleon's Decline Slow.
When Napoleon turned his back on
Moscow his star had already begun TO
sink at last, though the worst disas-
tiers of the retreat had yet to be en-
countered. and no one could then an
t;otD bap II N tn
bring him to Leipzig. and another six
months passed before abdication. The
Allies hope to make shorter work.
Failure such as the Germans now ex-
perience in these matters has a trick
of showing itself with cumulative and
accelerating effects. In any case, we
here are convinced that the Kaiser has
met his Moscow en- the Somme. though
he has yet TO be brought to his Bere-
sina. 1t will be objected that the
Kaiser has still millions of men and
Hindenbure. True. and we do not for
get it. We are as keen to come to the
sequel as though we were spectators
The Allies are still determined not
to underestimate their task in any wav.
They mean not merely victory, but vic
tory secured with plenty of fighting
force still left in hand.
The battle of the Somme is one
cause of unexpected embarrassment
and alarm at German headquarters.
pointed out when the new die
tator was nominated that in no case
would the initiative be left to linden
burg, and that if he were laying his
plans without taking the most serious
estimate of what Joffre and Haig might
do he was reckoning without his host,
and perhaps making a more fatal error
than any with which Falkenhayn could
be charged.
1t was indeed obvious TO any d.spas-
sionate student of the struggle in its
new phase that if Hindenburg weak
ened the German defence in the west
with view 10 operations in the East
he would take that action at his own
grave risk. II was genuinely believed
BY the Germans at the end of July
that the Allies offensive between The
North Sea and the Vosges had already
passed its maximum. For that belief
there never was particle OF Justiflca-
tion.

ARREDONDO PUTS
FAITH IN FARLEY
Sure United States-Mexi-
can Conference Will
End Problems

Washington, Oct 14.-That the
American-Mexican joint commission
meeting at Atlantic City, will find a
solution for all the difficulties between
the two governments, was the opinion
expressed to-day by Elisco Arredendo,
Mexican Ambassador designate, who
has returned from a conference with
General Carranza. The ambassador
brings back glowing reports OF i'm
provement of economic, military and
civic conditions in Mexico.
He said he had not received word
from the commission since his return,
but that reports which reached Mexico
City during his stay there indicated
an agreement would be reached and
General Carranza confidently ex-
pected it.
Outlaws Seek Amnesty
"As soon as this is accomplished
Mr.. Arredondo said, "the bandits and
other interests, who are now striving
to undermine the Carranza government.
would be compelled to cease their oper-
atoms. Already inquiries are being
made by outlaw leaders, who desire to
learn when General Carranza will give
them amnesty"
He added that the published reports
of suffering among the natives because
of hunger were greatly exaggerated, the
government having received complaints
on that score only from localities where
bandits were operating and confiscating
foodstucs and other property.
Return to Normal
He declared the people have returned
to normal agricultural pursuits and
