Totals 1880
ShoWed:

The British offensive on the Arras
front, involving some of the severess
fighting of the war naturally has re-
suited in a large increase in casualty
over the inactive winter season Cas-
ualties for the last few months have
not been received, but in February the
total reported was only 1,243 officers
and 17,1S5 men.
The assertion of the British that
their losses are fifty per cent smaller
than in the battle of the Somme, not
withstanding the fact that larger
forces are engaged, is not porne out
by the May figures, altho in the alb
sence of the casualties reported for
April early, in which month the Of
fensive was launched, the showing is
not conclusive. The casualties record
ed in the first three months of the
Somme GriVe were 307,169 officers
and men In August of last year the
second month of the Somme battle,
the casualties were 127,945 as compar-
ed with 1928 for May the second
