Casualty Reports Indicate Magnitude
Of Recent Struggle.

Field Marshal Hais 10 extremely
laconie in his dispatch today from
the British front in France and
Belgium. "Nothing to report except
the usual artillery activity on both
sides'' 10 the essence Of it.
The warnings yesterday from the
newspaper correspondents at the
front that nothing need be expected
from them for the time being, read
in this connection, tend to create
an air Of tenseness with the
possibility Of big events impending.
Military observers not on the
spot are quite at sea over the
probabilities. The interval since
Wednesdays attack appears too
short for the launching Of another
extended offensive movement in
Flanders, and there have been no
visible signs Of preparation for a
drive in any other sector.
The possibility exists that the
veil which has been drawn over the
activities along the fighting line 10

has prevailed for the last few days

follows: officers killed or died Of
wounds. s26; men. 1s,so2; officers
wounded or missing, 2,151; men, $3.50.
[The severity Of the fighting in which
the British forces have been engaged is
indicated, not by the total casualties
OF more than 1o4,400 but. by COM
parison with the August figures, which
were 59,s11. Casualties in some of the
late August fighting in Flanders are
naturally included in the September
total but this may well be Offset by
late September casualties not reported
in time to be covered in the figures
ANNOUNCED today The total compares
favorably, however, with the figures for
