GREAT SACRIFICE
Gar Loses 100000 in Killed, Wounded

BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Berlin, Sept. S.-The allies have lost
over million men in killed, wounded
and missing since their grand often
sive began with the Russian attack
three months ago, military experts
here estimate.
Against these losses the allies ar
mics have only the conquest of Buko-
wilma and some Galician territory by
the Russians, the capture of Goritz by
the Italians, the shallow thrust into the
German lines in the Somme region
and the occupation Of some moutain-
GUS territory by the Roumanians, these
constituting all their positive military
achievements.
Keeping their lines intact every
where, it is pointed out by the experts,
the armies of the Central Powers at
the same time have struck back with
successful blows in the Balkans. The
Bulgars have advanced on both flanks,
menacing the allies in Greece and the
Bulgars and Germans have struck
severe blow against the Roumanians
by occupying Tutrakan, one of the po
sitions defending Bucharest.
The combined allied losses during
the period mentioned is conservatively
estimated here as follows: Russians
SOC, 900, British 100000, French 25O,
900. Italians, Serbians and Rouman
ians combined $4,000.
