British Casualties Not Great.

Due to the complete preparations the
British casualties have not been ex-
cesslVe. but the condition of the bat
tleheld and statements by prisoners
indicate that the German losses were
exceedingly heavy. The British Medical
Corps has again evinced a most COM
plete organization. AT s o'clock last
night all British wounded had been
collected and brought back to emer-
gency stations. More than 1000 pris-
oners, with some sixty officers, were
taken by the British in the Ypre
salient alone.
Prussians, Bavarians and Saxons all
have given of their number to swell
the total captured. and no more de-
Jected-appearing men have been seen
In British prison stations since the be-
ginning of the war. A majority of the
prisoners were a miserable. sorry-look-
ing lot. many of them suffering from
internal complaints caused by exposure
and the majority from hunger. Few of
them have any hopes of Germany win
ming the war. and one officer ventured
the opinion that the time of the Faith
erland's downfall was near. He based
his opinion largely on the scarcity of
men. and certainly boyish faces now in
prison cages appear to be indicative OF
lack of human material.
