Russia IS infinitely the heaviest
loser so far. with a grand total Of
s,oS4.coo men. Tho bulk Of these losse /,
occurred In the AInzurian Lake dtSas-
ter and tho two retreats from the Car
l.,
by the tens OF thousands. Moreover.
lack OF communications aud hospital
facilities has made the death rate in
Russia extraordinarily high. Their
dead total 100000. their wounded
$3.50 and their prisoners and missing
1900. which is said 10 be much lower
than tho probable number.
MARINE AND yERDuN
COSTLY TO FRENCH
France has suffered the second high
cst casualties. with a total of l.Slo.SoC,
largely because OF the carly retreat TO
the Marnc and the terrific losses in
tho defense Of Ncrdun. Her dead to-
tai $4,000: her wounded 5i0.so0, and
her missing and captured 100000.
though this last figure IL believed here
10 bc improbabiy high.
England's total fails far below, he
ing about ono third Frances and one
sixth Russia's. owing. OF course, to her
late sending of - continental army.
From now on. however. her losses are
expected TO keep fairly close To those
of the French. who have seriously fcit

total comes TO 5l5.ioo. with 2o3.foo
dead. lo25 SEQ wounded and 10000
captured and missing.
Roumania. though entering the war
only last summer. has lost 100000 men
through her fatal attempt TO cross into

Dr.LGIlM AND SERBIA
SUFFER- HEAVY LOSSES
Eclgium and Scrvia. the two small
states ovcrrun by tho German machine
after desperate resistance. have both
lost very heavily III proportion to pop
ulation. Eclriun'S casualties come 10
10000, with 10000 dead. 1900
wounded and 10000 captured and miss
ing. Serba's dead come to $4,000. and
her wounded to $4,000. making total
Of SIS. 900. with tho number of missing
and captured large. but unknown.
Germany. among tho central ON
pircs. is given as by far the largest
loser. Her total casualties arc l,5S5,-
200, or o25,0OO less than Frances Her
dead come 10 S93.o00. which is slightly
higher than Frances. while her
wounded arc set at 10000. and her
captured and dismissed at $4,000. pro-
portionately the lowest OF the nations.
Germany, because of her fighting on
interior lines without having suffered
n bloody retreat. and with highly
efficient medical service. has lost very
few in captured and wounded. but her
oftensivcs have led her into heavy
losses in dead.
Austria is only slightly less heavy
loser than Germany. with total OF
1.4691O0. Her dead. however. only
number 523.100. and her wounded 3o',-
600. Her captured and missing run up
Ito sol 900. owing to the heavy losses
OF prisoners in the Two retreats pe-
fore the Russians.
Turkey also has been heavy loser.
having wide sweep OF front from
I;allipoli through Syria. Arabia. Mcso-
potamia and Armenia. with serious
pressure from British. Russian and
native armies. Her total is given as
100000, with $4,000 dead. 10000
wounded and 10000 captured and miss
ing.
Bulgaria Is the smallest loser. with
the meagcr total Of 20.o00, largely be-
cause the Serbian campaign was won
merely by the threat Of her entrance
into the war. Her dead total 1000,
her wounded 1000. and her captured
and missing 5000.
