QUIET MAY DAY IN BERLIN,
SAYS CENSORED REPORT
Work stopped in Only one Pac-
tory-SocialiSt Meetings
Sparsely Attended.

COPENHAGEN, May ALI ac-
counts OF May Day in Berlin which
have reached here say that although
the day was marked by q demonstra-
tive strike OF certain employees it
passed in an orderly manner. Radical
socialists organizea May Day excur-
slons to suburban meeting places,
which censored accounts describe as
sparsely attended.
According to these accounts, work
was stopped In only one factory. but
in view OF the character Of previous
censored reports on the labor sltua-
tion it is impossible TO tell how near
this is to the truth.
The military authorities in Berlin
posted offers OF rewards for the cap
ture of agents in the service of the
enemy who were seeking to awaken
dissension among the people.

100000 |NDEAD
IS GERMAN LOSS
TO DATE IN WAR
Decrease in Birth Rate Makes
Total Reduction 100000
Surplus of Females 100000.

AMSTERDAM (vla London), May
2.-The terrible losses suffered by
Germany in the war have been re-
vealed in a statement made by Joseph
Friedrich Naunann, formerly a Con-
servative member Of the Reichstag.
Herr Nounann, lecturing on the In
fuence OF the War on Popula tion," /"
said in part:
until now the war has caused
us q loss Of 100000 dead. This,
together with the decrease in
birth gives a reduction Of $780,
900. The surplus Of females has
increased from 100000 TO far more
than 100000. The nation has
bled as never since the thirty
years war"
Tho report OF the lecture received
here does not state where II was
delivered.
A despatch from the French front
sent out last night said that the totaI
strength OF the Germans on April /
was 219 divisions OF from 10000 to
1900 men each.
or these divisions, l43 faced the
French and British, but only 90 were
in actual line, the others being held
in strateg.c reserve. The remaining
76 divisions were then on the Russian,
Roumanian and Macedonian fronts
Many OF tho strategic reserve divisions
have since been thrown into line, and
owing to losses, were later sent to the
rear for reconstruction.
At the maximum stated. OF II, ,ocC
men 70 division and si9 divisions
the German army would consist oi

Since tho arrival OF the British ant

been understood there that tho En-.

900 can be rated as combatants In the
