(By The Associated Press)

Grouchevsky, president of the Kiev
Central Rada. They did not succeed
in apprehending him, as he had escaped

Rux,ar1iar1 National Debt
Estimated 900

Amsterdam, May 11-A Conserva-
tive newspaper, which has been resur-
rected at Bucharest since the conclu-
sion of peace, says the Rumanian ma
tional debt amounts to 10000 900 900
lei (normally about $4,000 900 ,00O).
This does not take into account de-
stroyed material. Direct taxes will be
increased, an income tax will be i'm
posed, and complete system of finan-
cial laws enacted to meet the require
ments of the treasury.

Allies Gain i'm Balkans

LONDON, May 11.-Allied successes
in the Balkans were reported by the
French War Office tonight.
"On the east bank of the Vardar
British patrol put to fight Bulgari-
an detachment near Gradishte. Serbi-
an troops carried out raid on the en-
emy trenches.
"The enemy attempted series of
raids on Dobropolje and at the Cerna
Bend, but was entirely repulsed, with
serious losses. Several German bodies
remained in front of our positions in
the region of Makovo."

German Boys
Appear at ront

One important piece of news which
appeared during the week is the Off
cial statement in the official French
communication that certain bows in
elements of troops made up from the
German class Of 1920 have now been
identified in field depots Immediately
behind the front. These boys have
not yet taken any part in the battle,
nor have any prisoners been taken
from among them. But advance par
ties of them, who have presumably
shown greater aptitude than the
rest in the eight weeks or so of train
ing which they have had so far, have
evidently been sent in to be recruited
into the battered divisions which
have taken part in the recent offen-
sive. Apparently they will be used
Immediately and some months before
they would normally have come up
were it not for the very high losses
which the enemy has suffeerd in the
course Of his recent attacks.
What those losses are it is quite
impossible to determine with even
the toughest approach to accuracy.
But of the two extremes advanced
half million on one side and three
hundred and fifty thousand on the
other-it is safe to say the latter is
within the mark. The equivalent of
1872 divisions have been identified
in action on the West front since
March 21, and at least 1876 and pos
sibly 140 Of the 180 divisions avail
able for action have already been
used, the balance between these
figures and the 1872 divisions iden-
titled being made up of divisions
which have been used twice or even
three times.
Now, although divisions will not
be kept in line for an offensive ac-
ton up to any such limits of loss
as will the defensive units before
being retired, it is hardly credible
that this mass Of nearly million
and half infantry alone, without
counting artillery or other troops,
can have suffered so little as % or
23 per cent of it's forces during so
long and intense series of actions.
The units Of which we have de-
tail information have, of course.
suffered very much more heavily
than the average. We have, for
instance, the case Of the 4th Erzatz
Division, which was virtually wiped
out at Givenchy. We have the 18th
Reserve Division, which was thrown
against the French and pounded
into nearly the same case. We
have the 1st Guards Reserve Divis-
ION losing something like third of
Its officers in cne days action. We
have from twenty to thirty detailed,
examined and corrected cases of
this kind, and we have further to
guide us the experience of the AL
lies themselves when they have at
tempted a continued intense often
sive action.
From all these things it becomes
certain that the German losses can
certainly not be less than the $780,
ooo figure given above and are
probably considerably higher.

Afternoons 8 Fighting

stretching down to the KENNEL
Brook, had opposite them all the af-
ternoon portions of the Sd Guard
division. These forces had to assem-
bic as best they could in the ruined
huts on the opposite rise beyond the
brook, which rise was formed by the
first slopes of Mount KENNEL.
After making their assemblies in
these huts, with very great loss of
life in passing across the open
ground to reach them, the Prussian
Guard had to attempt an advance
again across the open to the brook.
Every such effort failed with mur-
derous loss. The mist of the morning
had long disappeared and light
wind had, happily for the British,
begun to clear away the gas. During
all its bloody efforts that afternoon
the Prussian Guard never so much
as crossed the KENNEL Brook, but it
was perpetually exposed to both ma
chine gun and rifle fire from the
British regiment until dark.
Much the same thing was happen
ing on every other section of this
ten-mile line duNng this latter part
OF the day, and when the light de-
clined the whole offensive effort had
failed.
Several features are worthy Of re-
mark in this action. II is the first

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The Glee club is enthused over the
coming piano recital and concert
which is-to be given at the Zion Bap-
tist church on Friday evening, Sept.
90 at which time the club will pre-
sent Miss Helen e. Hagan, the ac-
complished concert pianist of New
Haven, Conn, who was the honor pu-
pill of the Yale Conservatory of Music
and who took two years in the Paris
Conservatory. They are planning to
make it one of the most brilliant af-
fairs of it's kind given in Denver for
many years.
Every man who attended the meet
ing last Sunday afternoon went away
rejoicing that he came. For he heard
an address which he will remember
for long while. 1t was given by the
Rev. T. d. Scott, secretary of the
Y. NJ. C. A. (colored) on Walsenburg.
Mr.. Scott told in simple but forceful
language of his work in the various
coal mines in the state. In many of
them he found great Irregularities in
living and gross immoralities existing
With the backing and cooperation OF
the G.. +. & |. Co. he went at the sys-
tenn in a vigorous manner, sometimes
at the risk of his own personal safety
until now the camps are decent places
to live in. He recited cases of pro-
lection and deliverance that seemed
little short of miraculous.
