German Losses
In Aisne Battle
Put at 100000
Killed, Wounded and Pris-
oners Make One of Wars
Biggest Totals

Paris. April 27-The extent OF the
German losses in the recent desperate
fighting along the Aisne s partly dis
closed by the reference in to-day's Off
cial statement to the capture Of 1870
guns. Of which a considerable number
were Of heavy calibre.
The German losses in men arc esti-
mated at more than 100000, with the
probability that the total reached 235,-
900. These figures include killed,
wounded 0nd prisoners and constitute
one Of the most formidable totals OF
the war
The number Of German prisoners ag-
gregates approximately 10000. The
usual formula among military experts
is to estimate the casualties at five
times the number of prisoners. but this
fve-to-one ratio has not held good in
the present case owing TO the exceed
ingly sanguinary character of the fight
ing for the mastery Of the strategic po-
sition on the Chemin -des Danes pla-
teau. The Germans held this firmly at
the outset, and when it was wrested
from them by the French attacks the
Germans repeatedly brought up large
reserves in a desperate effort to re-
tain this strategic line. All reports
show that whole regiments were deci-
mated, and it was this which brought
about the exceptionally heavy total OF
killed and wounded. making it probably
one Of the bloodiest battles of the war
Now that the strategic line on the
Chemin -des-Dames plateau is firmly
held in French possession, a period OF
comparative inaction has interviewed
pending reorganization of new lines OF
attack and summing up the extent OF
the German losses and the booty taken.

No Separate Peace Party,
MiIiukof Tells u. S. JeWS

Washington, April 27.-Ambassador
Francis, at Petrograd, cabled the State
Department to-day a response TO the
message sent by American Jews TO Rus
sian Foreign Minister Miliukof, pledg-
ing support TO the new government
The ambassadors reply says the
Russian Provisional Government is
very apprecietive of the sympathy of
American Jews; that it realizes the
great danger confronting new Russia
by German militarism, and that no po-
litcal party contemplates a separate
peace with Germany.
"As regards the uncertainty shown
by the American Jewry on account Of
the rumors of agitation of certain ele-
ments for q separate peace" says the
message, 81 can assure them that these
rumors are wholly without foundations;
no Russian party, whatever its political
programme, has contemplated or could
contemplate the eventuality of a sep
arate peace with the foreign aggressor.
"The great danger which menaces
new Russia and the entire world, if
heed should be paid TO the efforts
which nave for their end the mainten-
Gnce Of the fearful German militarism,
are only too we'll known here

fire, and down crashed the last German
machine.
While the fighting scouts ordinarily
have the most interesting experiences
TO relate, the poor old hard-working
photographing machines also have their
desperate moments. One photographer
aviator brought his machine down un-
der heavy attack and. as usual, the
German artillery began to shell it. De
spite this he managed to remove all his
exposed plates and scamper away just
before heavy shell tore the plane to
bits. The rescued plates proved most
valuable.
Further details have been learned Of
the experience of two British airmen
who were forced to bring their machine
| down Just in front of the German lines
south of Lens. Saving the guns
from the wrecked planes they set up
little fortress in No Mans Land and
fought successfully for their lives.
Wrenching a light automatic gun
from the machine they sought the
quickest shelter nearby bit Of sunk
en- road. Hardly had they reached it
when a patrol of eight very hostile Ger
mans appeared. The armen opened
fire and the gray-clad warriors ducked
to cover. The pilot and observer re-
NAMED thus entrenched until late in
the afternoon with shells whistling
over them from both directions. Tow
ard dusk they sailed out, and, fort
unately, fell into the hands of a Cana
dian advanced patrol and were able to
give valuable information regarding
enemy positions.
The sky has been obscured to-day
from early dawn, but the British air
men. revealing in the fighting spirit of
their great offensive. have been seen
far over the German lines "trying to
stir up more trouble" as one of them
