Germans returning each time after
heavy losses. the war office announced
today.
The fighting was particularly des-
perate in the region OF Teton, the
Casque and Mont Haut, the attack be-
ing launched in four successive weeks
after heavy bombardment from heavy
guns and suffocating gas shells The
French took many prisoners during the
fighting including two officers.
British Losses Heavy.
London, May 31.-British casualties
as published in May show a total OF
5,902 officers and 106, 1881 men,.
The British offensive on the Arras
front, involving some OF the severest
fighting of the war, naturally has re-
suited in a large increase in dead over
the inactive winter season. Casualties
for the last few months have not been
received but in February only l,343
officers were reported dead.
The assertion of the British that
their losses are so per cent smaller
than in the battle of the Somme. not
withstanding the fact that larger
forces are engaged. is not borne out by
the May figures, although in the abb
sence OF the casualties report for April
early in which month the offensive was
launched, the showing is not con-
ciusiYe.
The casualties reported in the first
three months of the Somme drive were
307, ,169 officers and men. In August of
last year the second month of the
Eomme battle the casualties were 49,
Gas as compared with 112,2 for May,

Mrs. Reyes Not Suicide
Mrs Pauline A. keyeS did not kill
herself in the matured opinion Of Dr,
Harry NJ. Cults, medical examiner Of
BrOokline, Who originally report q the
case as suicide.
Dir. Cults admitted that he had been
mistaken upon his first examination of
the body. His early conclusions were
based on his belief that the two bull

head could have been Self-infiicted.
After an autopsy he filed a report in
harmony with these findings and gave
permission for the body to be ere

called his attention to the admitted
fact that either of the two bullet
