French Headquarters Estimate
German Loss Since April Is.
In IL Days Germany Used 3OO,-
900 Reserves to Fill the Gaps.
BY HENRY WOOD.

With the French Armies in the
Field, May 15.-Germany lost 200, 900
men in killed, wounded and capture,
in the period from April 6 to May /
on the French front alone. In the
two weeks since May l, it was esti-
mated today, her additional losses
have been proportionately greater even
than this staggering mortality.
The figures on which this estimate
is based are those of headquarters
They are conservative. The totals
may be much more.
Between April 16 and 81 it is
known the Germans were forced on
account of losses to withdraw twenty
divisions approximately 100000 men)
from the front, replacing them with
fresh reserves. Since that date more
been similarly replaced.
Many Divisions Wiped Out.
Many German divisions have been
practically wiped out. The Ninth
Bavarian reserve division. numbering
1000 in its battle array, lost 2,383 in
prisoners alone, which, according to
established scientific military statistics
means a minimum of 5000 killed and
wounded. This means the division
lost three fourths of its entire number
of electives.
The figures of these losses are based
on carefully checked information
gathered by the French headquarters.
Word received here indicates similar
losses inflicted upon the enemy on the
British front
officers estimate the German total
losses before both the French and
English since beginning of the allied
offensive exceeds those of any pre-
viouS similar period.
AS reported heretofore $500 Ger
mans have been captured by the
Anglo-French since the big drive
started April 16
