HAS LOST $4,000 MEN
(By Henry Wood)


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With The French Armies In The
Field. Aug. 2s.-Germany has lost more
than $4,000 men in the Flanders battle
since July l.
The figures were compiled today
when the assembling of data obtained
from prisoners was completed.
Prisoners said thirty seven German
divisions approximately 555,000 men)
had been engaged in the Flanders Sec
tor since the first Of last month.
Thirty Of these approximately 450,-
900 men) have been withdrawn on ac-
count of losses.
The German high commands usual
practice is to withdraw a division for
reorganization after its losses have
taken from 1000 to $500 men.
Taking this as basis, it can be as
sumed that if Germany has withdrawn
thirty divisions, her losses must be any
where from sixty thousand to seventy
five thousand.
A conservative estimate would put
them considerably above $4,000.
Seven German divisions which were
on the Flanders front on July first are
still there.
These estimates Of losses do not take
into account the huge casualties which
the enemy has sustained of late around
Verdun and the Chemin Des Danes.
