the stream, launching an attack
near Vaux, northeast of the for

cessful, Paris declares.
Probable speedy resumption of
infantry drives northwest of the
fortress, however, is indicated
by the report of heavy firing by
the artillery in the region of the
Avocourt wood, southwest of
Hill 304.
The French themselves are
making vigorous attacks on the

gion, according to Berlin, which
announces an assault near Dead

Germany's Losses in the Field.
-or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The article in to-day's Tribune
headed German Figures" suggests that the
writer is under the impression that Ger
many is now really nearing exhaustion in
men. a menace which has been heralded for
more than a year in English and French
newspapers as we'll az by all kinds OF mill
tary experts.
But information contained in the latest
batch of German newspapers tends 10 de-
preciate such conclusions. In the last con-
fidential report of the acting Minister OF
War, which appeared in the "Berliner Tage-
blatt," it is emphasized that the supply OF
men is sufficient for a long time to come
Consequently no action has been taken nor
any thought devoted to frightening the age
for military service beyond forty-five years,
which is the limit in times of peace.
It is even possible, the Minister said, TO
send back from the front the men who pass
the forty-fve-year limit while with the
colors. The main reason responsible for this
result is the extraordinarily high percentage
Of wounded who are cured and return to
the front. The Minister said also that the
German casualties compared with the
enemy's casualties can by no means be
called high. DR.. r. ]. OBERFOHREN.

Guilty as Charged.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent, ". H. Bennett
jr., in yesterdays Tribune is both amusing
and silly. lie says it is his first communi-
cation TO a newspaper. If he could realize
how ridiculous his criticism of The Trib-
une looks to the reader of average intelli-
gence il would be the last.
The editorials seem to be his bette noir
while many people of good sense and com
petent judges regard them as masterpieces
as literary efforts and in the wide range OF
knowledge of matters treated without regard
TO sentiment contained therein.
The trouble with W. II. B., jr., is that he
is not in sympathy with the writer and dis
closes in his criticisms too clearly his own
un-Amercan views, which are at a discount
these days when a man is an American or a
sympathizer with a real enemy of the coun-
try. / have no doubt the editor will plead
guilty as charged OF advocating strongly a
certain man as a fit and proper man for the
Presidency but it is only incidental to the
desire 10 teach Americanism, Of which he is
the most distinguished and best exponent.
