Casualties During Past
Week Not Large Conn
pared to Those of Huns.
INCREASE SHOWN
OVER LAST WEEK
Figures Only Now Begin to Approach
Those Of Last Year When British
Were on Offensive on West Front
London Newspapers Worried Be-
cause of Apparent Loss Of Mount
KENNEL, Ypres May Be Evacuated.

London, April 27-Casualties in
British ranke reported this weex
totaled 1859. The losses are divided
as follows:
Killed or died Of wounds-officers,
40S; men, 1851.
Wounded or mssing-Officers, 2,O71;
men, 1929.
Despite the desperate fighting for
more than month past the British
casualties reported are only now De-
ginning to approach the high figure Of
last year. when the British were on
the offensive on the west front. Last
week the aggregate was 12,36s, and the
week prev S,124.
British Press Admits Crisis.
Commenting on the Flanders battle
in serious tone. the morning newspa-
pers contend that the situation i'm
poses on Great Britain the necessity Of
putting forth the utmost effort, espe-
'cially in furnishing more men.
4 I'VE are faced with q crisis more
iperilous than any that has hitherto
arisen, even in this appalling war"
writes the military correspondent Of
tthe Daily Telegraph. Possession OF
channel ports by the enemy would
make our task on land and sea inf
nttely more intricate and COSTLY
The Daily News, in an editorial, says
the situation has changed seriously 70,
the worse as a result of the fighting
5on ocf fu
German drive toward the channel is q
matter Of serious concern. Neverthe-
less, it regards the situation as in no
wise decisive.
Consider Mount KENNEL.
The effect of the capture of Mount
KENNEL is canvassed anxiously by
some papers. The Chronicle thinks
Ypres could be held despite the loss of
Mount KENNEL, but that the tenure
would be costly. 1t hopes it will be
found possible to dislodge the enemy
at Villers-Bretonneux. Otherwise, it
says, further withdrawal Of the
Ypres line may be desirable; it con-
tends, however, that the present value
Of Ypres is only secondary. The Daily
Mail says it would be folloy to mini
mize the success the enemy has
achieved and should the loss of KEN
mel prove permanent the difficulty Of
holding Ypres would increase.
More Airpianes Needed.
In urging the British nation to an
increased output Of aeroplanes, the
Daily Mail dwells on the Importance
for Germany Of Russia's depression as
affecting supremacy in the air. RUS
sian aeroplanes, it says, had great rep
utations in Germany, and some of
them have been used as models by Ger
man manufact Irers.
The collapse of Russia, 1t adds. en-
ables Germany to exploit and turn to
it's own use all Russian aerodromes.

Good admits he drove the automo-
bile and says Cross did the robbing.
Lavallier met the auto on the highway
at two different places and furnished
the bandit car with fresh supplies of
gasolene. This was done so the band
its could avoid stopping at garages in
various towns along the route from
Colfax to Naleria.
Good says that the $1,037 was to be
divided between himself and Lavallier.
In returning from Valeria a round
about route was selected to avoid sus-
picion, the party making a detour,
reaching Colfax from the southeast,
while Valeria is northwest. Cross con-
tinued on with the car, while Good
stopped at the old Chautauqua grounds

QUESTION OF RESERVES:

ments on West Front.
London, April 27.-'1n the end it
would be q question of who has the
last reserves" said General Delma
Radcliffe, chief director Of military
operations at the war office, in his
frst weekly review Of the western front
situation yesterday afternoon. a
These reserves on the western
front are now in the hands of Gen-
eral Foch. in whom both armies have
the fullest confidence.
$50 far he has employed only q
small proportion Of his available re-
serves and this is great augury for
the future.
Every Man Needed. Z
TN this long drawn out test OF en-
durance OF the nations it is impera-
tive to get every man possible to sup-
port the battle front for men alone will
tell in the end"
General Radcliffe said he regarded
the situation at vilrers- Bretonneux as
very satisfactory.
1--WE got back all we lost and hold
the village; we have taken many pris-
oners and inflicted heavy losses was
the summary Of the British achieve
ment.
"Villers- -Bretonneux is a most i'm
portant tactical point" he added. "as
tits atop the plateau whence one may
look down the western slopes toward
Amiens."
Possible to Hold at Ypres.
General Radcliffe declared it was
perfectly possible for the allies TO held
on the Ypres sector even with the
Germans on KENNEL hill, but that it
was not convenient to have them there
and it was hoped to eject them.
ION the KENNEL front the enemy
has made considerable progress" said
I>General Radcliffe. "The latest infor-
nation is still incomplete, but there is
no doubt that the Germans succeeded
in occupying KENNEL hill a sector IN
volving both French and British
troops.
The net result in the KENNEL sec
tor so far is that the Germans have
gained about 2,O0Oeyards on a front o.
! about 1900 yards, Ehis gain is not
large, but it involves very important
ground and there is no question that 1t
is very serious loss. 49,
There is nothing decisive about
the loss Of KENNEL hill, but it is one
OF the most important tactical
features, as the hill IS an observation
point for all the ground to- the north.
1t still remains to be seen, however,
whether it will remain in the enemy's
hands.
"Our lire to. the north is all right,
and it is entirely possible to hold on
to the Ypres sector, even if the enemy
is on KENNEL. Bdt Mis- presence there
is not convenient, ord We hope to get
him off," 5,{
