CANADIANS LOSS HEAVY
$4,000 Casualties In the Fighting
Around Lens.

Ottawa, Sept. 6.-Advices received
here today confirm the report of Cen
Sir Arthur Currie that successful
Canadian operations in the fighting
around Lens were not accomplished
without heavy casualties. although
the percentage Of mortalities was not
so large as in some other battles.
No definite estimate has been sent
here, but the Interpretation placed up
on Gen. Currie's statement that the
German casualties were equal to
sixty-nine battalions and that the
Canadian losses were only third of
that, is that $4,000 Germans and ap.
proximately $4,000 Canadians figure
In the lists.

affairs, stated today that he had been
besieged with letters and that also a

ceived at the office of the adjutant

measure was.

sions ago the Legislature voted two
months extra pay amounting to s22
to those volunteers in the Spanish war
who volunteered after the first and
second Name regiments had gone to
the front. All Of this amount has been
paid except $500 or 800 which is due
to Spanish War veterans who volun-
teered from Maine and who are now
scattered all over the world II has
been customary for the Legislature to
pass resolves appropriating s66 year
for two years. sW as to take care OF
three Of theses4 syear, the amount

went to& the front with the first and
second regiments and simply provides
for extra pay for those who volunteer
ed afterwards ir cases where it has not
