Germans Sustain Enormous Losses

Germans Sustain Enormous Losses
Washington, March 25-Members OF
the allied military missions said today
that in the nature of the fighting on
the West front the Germans must be
losing at least 100000 men a day.
They made this deduction from the
Germans plan of massed attack, the
number of troops they are employing
and the strength of the allied resist
ance.
The allied losses, it was declared,
would be far less than those of the
Germans because they are fighting on
the defensive.

Good Omen For Future

London, March 25-The Manchester
Guardian says a significant feature of
the situation on the battle front is that
after three days fighting the enemy
claims only 5000 prisoners more than
after the second day, which means
that the British withdrawal after the
rupture of the front west of st. Quen-
tin was made in excellent order. The
newspaper regards this as a good
omen for the future.
