of Invaded Territory.

British and French losses in the bat

100000, the Berlin Overseas News
agency estimates.
Recent local successes obtained by
the British on the Somme are herald
ed by the English press as great vic
tories and even occasioned a special
message from King George to the Brit
ish commander, General Sir Douglas
Haig," says the agency. at is said
the British occupied the villages oil
Flers, Martinpuich and Courcelette in
the first days fighting, although it had
been planned to take them in the
course of four days of battle.
Nevertheless, the British were en-
abled to make this advance only after
eleven weeks of the most desperate
efforts. The results of the battle OF
the Somme should be gagged by con-
sidering the amount of French and
Belgian territory occupied by the Ger
mans, which amounts, in all, to about
$4,000 square kilometres 19,531
square miles,. OF this $4,000 is Bel
