GER MAN LOSSES
IN FLANDERS ARE
GREATEST OF WAR
Slaughter lof Prince Rup.
precht's Men by British
Pointed Out In Berlin as
Wonderful Sacrifice.

Copenhagen, Oct 13.-An intima-
ton Of great losses sustained by the
Germans in their attempts to stem
the British attacks is contained in the
latest comment of Lieutenant General
Won, Ardenne, military critic OF the
Tageblatt of Berlin, on the Flanders
campaign. He refers to the German
losses at Mars-la-Tour and Grave-
lotte, in the Franco PrusSian war,
averaging hve-sixths of tffe officers
and one e-third of the men of the guard
and Brandenburg regiments engaged,
as classic examples in German mill
tary history of extraordinary casual
ties suffered without affecting the
morale of the troops.
Rupprecht's Losses Enormous.
y. The general then says these losses
often are far exceeded in the present
war, and that in the third Flanders
battle have been so great as to
induce the military authorities to
abandon the usual rule Of not refer
ring to them, feeling that the sacri-
fees of Prince Rupprecht's troops
have been such as to- entitle them to
extraordinary thanks of the father
land.
General Ardenne pays grudging
and belated tribute to the achieve,
ments of the British tanks. which, ac-
cording to his verdict, though quick
victims Of the German field artillery
under good visibility, are able to de-
liver most effective enfilading fire
froms"their machine guns whenever
they are able to approach the infantry
lines under cover ola curtain OF smoke
or gas waves and are not to be taken
lightly,
Won Tirpitz Still Confident.
Amsterdam, Oct. l3.-Admiral Won
Tirpitz, former minister of the Ger
man imperial navy, interviewed by the
Brunswick Landes Zeitung, is quoted
as saying ...
1--WE can continue'confidently to ex-
pect final triumph over England as
long as we continue to sink vessels

pected Immediately, however. but if

Not Authorized.
(By Associated Press.)

Stockholm, Oct. 13.-The Swedish
foreign Office has received the Ger
man reply to its inquiry regarding the
action of Count Karl Won Luxburg
while he was German minister to Ar
gentina in sending messages through
the Swedish legation regarding the
sinking without trace" of Argentine
vessels.
| Germany expressed regrets last
month and promised fuller state
inent later. =
The answer now forwarded confirms
the arrival in Berlin OF the Luxburg
cablegrams as published, although one
of them was mutilated at an essen
tial point. \
Had No Effect on Campaign. e.
The German government states it is
Unable to make a declafati regard
ing the authenticity of the dispatches,
as no conhrmatory correspondence
has taken place with Won Luxburg.
The kilograms are said to have had
no effect on the submarine war The
government deplores the fact that
they were dispatched and that Won
Luxburg employed tn: facilities ex-
tended by the Swedish authorities in
a manner which might have been con-
strued as abuse of them.
Assurance is given that incidents
calculated to disturb the friendly re-
lations between Germany and Sweden
will not occur again.

the Netherlands government places
an absolute restriction ON the transit
of sand, gravel and scrap metals
through Holland from GermanY 10
Belgium was explained to the Asso.
ciated Press today by Lord Robert
Cecil, the minister of blockade.
"The Dutch in recent months, he
said, shave been allowing the! Ger
mans to transport across Dutch wa
terways from Germany to Belgium
vast quantities of gravel and sand
The total was out of all proportion
to that transported in peace time and
there is not the slightest. doubt that
the Germans are making use of this
to our detriment. The Germans are
using enormous quantities of concrete
in pill boxes, dugouts and in many
other ways. ~ -, .Er
"The Dutch do not claim that the
Germans should be permitted to
transport material for this war con-
crete through Dutch territory. but
they say the Germans. have given
them assurances that allsthis material
is being employed in strictly civil
purposes. | have no doubt that the
Germans have given such assurances
and there may be some juggle by
which they are able to submit paper
proof. But we have this fact: Enor-
nous quantities or concrete are being
used at the front and enormous guam
titles of concrete material is going
into the war zone through Holland.
"We made repeated diplomatic
complaints with no results. until we
finally decided. inasmuch as the Dutch
have no right to use our cables ex-
cept as matter of courtesy"

TO NORTH OF RIGA.
oesel island is nearly 100 miles
north Of Riga, which the Germans
captured recently. The landing Of
German troops in Esthonia would
threaten the outfanking of the Rus
sian line and probably compel a re-
treat on wide section of the front, II,
indeed, it did not open the way to
Petrograd itself. A. railway line fol-
lows the coast all the way from Hap

grad. tf.
Islands Themselves Are Bases.
The islands III question have them-
selves been bases of no little im-
portance. TO the Russians, especially
for airplane activities, Their seizure
would undoubtedly hamper Russian
naval scouting work, effectually close
the Gulf OF Riga to Russian use and
apparently offer an excellent starting
point for a land expedition for Petro-
grad, if one should be contemplated
by the German command. ~. u
The lateness of the season has
seemed to preclude any attempt by
the Teutons to make drive toward
Petrograd this year. 1t has been
pointed out, however, that such a
move probably could be carried out
with comparative ease, at present,
with the Russian armies in their ad-
nlittedly disorganized state, whereas
next spring there is governmental
promise of a Russian regeneration
after a winters organizing work along
new lines.
In Flanders the heavy rain which
stopped Field Marshal Haig's drive

GAMUT OF BASE BALL.
1t was a contest that ran the garnui
oN base ball, from sensational and bril-
lVant to mediocer, but never during
the two hours and thirty-seveh min
untes of battle did it lose its intense
hold on the spectators and at its con-
clusion the fans were almost as ex-
hausted as the players.
FANS MAD WITH JOY.
For more than two hours the ad!
herents of the White Sox roared and
cheered without moments intermis-
sion, while the players became frantic
with joy, once the Chicago team went
into the lead, and performed antics in
front of their dugout that would have
caused a college cheer leader to
despair.
For the first time during the pres
ent struggle for the titular honors OF
the base ball year the game developed
both concerted and sustained roofing,
and so keen was the rivalry between
the two combinations that several
%times it appeared as though the par
ticipants would allow their feelings to
get the better OF their judgment.
Abounds. With Errors.
While the enthusiasm and thrills en-
veloped the contest with the glamour
that had been missing III the preced-
ing games, the fifth meeting of the
White Sox and the Giants will not
go down in worlds series history as
a diamond battle of either outstanding
skill or basef ball perfection.
1t abounded with errors Of both
omission and commission and was
.nlarred by misplays which would have
brought censure on competitors. This
was forgotten, however, when the
American league combination finally
wrested the lead from its rival and
gained position of advantage nearly
as commanding as >the two straight
victories at the opening of the series
had given it.
Back to Polo Grounds.
The two teams tonight again start,
ed to the Polo grounds at New York.
where the sixth game will be played
on Monday, and the seventh, if neces-
sary, on Tuesday, the Giants having
won the toss and the privilege oil
naming the place of the deciding con-
test should each team win three
games.
While the player aof both teams
have ceased to participate in the fnan.
cial proceeds OF the contest, the rival.
ry is none the less keen, for there is
more than $1,000 difference between
the iSfividual shares that will fall to
