ALLIED LOSSES
IN WAR PLACED
AT 100000
Overseas Agency Compares
British Sacrifices in Men to
Those of Small Nations.

BERLIN (via Sayvllle wireless),
Dec. 6.-The official press bureau
draws "curious conclusions" tot day
from statistics issued by the Copen-
hagen Association for Research About
Social Consequences OF the War.
These figures show Entente losses as
15,100.0 900. or these England lost
100000: Russia, s.5o0.000; France.
s.700,ooO; Italy. 100000; Serbia, $780,
900; Belgium. 100000; Roumania,
200, 900.
The curious conclusion" which the
press bureau draws from these fig
ures are:
THE losses by Serbia. Belgium and
Roumania are three-fourths of the
English losses. and since in the esti-
mate OF Roumanian losses is included
only those OF the first two months OF
the German -Roumanian campaign, II
can be counted that these three small
countries made the same sacrifices as
the large British Empire. Italy has
suffered already two-thirds of the
English losses"
THE French losses are three times
as large as the English and almost
a fourth part OF the total OF the
Entente. The Russian losses are sev-
en- times larger than the English
England's losses are only per cent
OF the total. although in them Is in
cluded the Canadian, Australian, New
Zealand, South African, Indian and
Xouave losses.
Since II Is notorious that the Eng
lish regularly send their auxiliary
troops into the first line Il can be
safely supposed that half Of the Eng
lish losses have been suffered by the
colonies and dominions and altogether
the sacrifices of the British Isles can
hardly exceed those Of Serbia, while the
French losses were more than six
times larger than the English"

THREE PERSONS KILLED WHEN
DUPONT WORKS IN WEST VA,
EPLODE.

Bluefield, w. Va, April 12.-Three
persons were killed, one perhaps IA
tally injured and two more less SER
iously hurt at the Nemours plant of
the Dupont Powder company, eight
miles from here early today, when d.
900 kegs Of black powder exploded.
The plant was almost completely des-
troyed with a loss Of about 100000.
The force of the explosions was such
that houses in the little village were
wrecked and the sound c uld be plain
ly heard here.
The principal damage was done by
the first explosion, which is said to
have completely destroyed the build
ing in which it occurred. The sue
ceeding explosions were believed to
have been caused by flying embers and
were of less intensity.
Nemours is located in a wild country
and all wires leading to, the town were
torn down. The plant has been work
ing night and day on war orders.

write and when there were no con-
venient. guidebooks sites and objects

memorials of the details in the story
