WORLD DOES NOT REALIZE GREAT
 STAND OF BRITISH
While Inflicting Stupendous Losses on Enemy Haig's Units Have Suffered
 Heavily

Washington. May 4.-British losses in men killed, wounded, captured and missing on the western front since inc German offensive began March 21, are estimated by the British military mis- sion here at nearly 2J0,OOO.
 The mission said that everything in dicates the offensive will be continued almost immediately and that if the brunt of the attack is borne again by the Brit ish the situation will become serious unless the British troops are supported by sufficient reserves.
 This estimate would appear to be in re- markanle contrast to the enormous Ger man losses in the drive. The German war office of course has not disclosed what its losses in the great battle have been, but the estimates of allied observ- CTS have placed them at a staggering fig ure. From the very nature of the fight ing, military experts have pointed out the losses of the attackers were bound to bs heavier than those of the defend CTS, but in addition to that the method of German attack, advancing troops in waves faster than machine guns could now tirem down, must, military experts say, have entailed enormous losses
 An inSlng of how serious the German losses are, came sometime ago when it was reported that the German military chiefs dared not disclose their extent to the German people, and. therefore, were sending the wounded to Belgium. Othe. reports nave told of railway gateways being choked with trains of wounded, whilo the dispatches of correspondents at the front have told how the battle fields were carpeted with gray-clad bodies.
 As examples of what the British have gona through, the two divisions which lost q large percentage of their effec- tives are cited The Twenty-fifth, a new division, in the fighting between March 22 and March 26 lost 4eoo men. Put in the fighting again from April 10 to April 19. it lost 5000 more. Despite these losses, It was brigaded with the French for counter attack and still later it beat off four heavy German attacks.
 The Twenty yfirst division fought con tinuously from March T to March 2S and lost 1000 infantrymen, of total strength of 5000. Later it drove back a German attack in which five German divisions were engaged and increased it's losses to 6A00
 Statistics such as these, it was de- clared, bring home to the military mind the terrible ordeal through which the British army is now passing. History, coolly reviewing facts, will record what is perhaps often now lost sight of in the crowded interests of everyday life, and obscured by hearsay and extravagant writings. Britain at this very moment Is making the supreme sacrifice of en- durance for right against might, and now strengthened by and shoulder to shoulder with the famous French fight ing divisions, is prepared to hold the German masses in check until the right moment arrives for the great revenge.'

GERMANS SPEED
VESLE RETREAT
Continuous Pressure of Allies
at Many Points Makes De-
lay Dangerous.
FRENCH INVEST CHAUNY
Also Getting Around NOyOn
Massif and Pushing Toward
st. GObain Forest.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY. Sept 4 e
P. M.).-In spite of the violent artil-
lery reaction Of the enemy's batteries
the French advance and the German re-
treat still continue. The two points at
which the French lines were most hotly
bombarded are south Of the Ailette
River, on the Terny Sorney sector front.
and Venizel. three miles east Of Sois-
sons
The three sectors. where we are most
definitely gaining ground are north Of
the pise, between the Canal du Nord.
and the Noyon-Guiscard-Ham road !;
north OF the Ailette and northeast of
scissors. and the entrance to the Vregny
plateau. Shortly we shall be ad-
vancing north of the vesle, where in
cendiary fires and other signs OF i'm
pending retreat are observed and where
several detachments recently crossed
the river.
There has been a rather long pause
in the advance on this last sector of
Ahc lEOHl slflCt kut NeTIldn retreat lIOHi
the Marne. II now looks as II the
enemy is on the point Of again falling
back without the application of extra
pressure on our part. LOther dispatches
report that the German retreat already
has started north Of the Vesle.l
The French and British advance along
the Aisne, Ailette. Oise, Somme and
Scarpe rivers is producing the inevitable
effect. 1t becomes daily more risky for
the Germans to think OF maintaining
their positions between the Nesle and
the Aisne. They have got to get out to
get from under.
Meanwhile TO the west and the north
the armies of Gen. Mangin and Gen.
Humbert are steadily pegging away.
The entrance to the Nregny plateau now
cuts across the middle OF the Cufties-
Laffauz ravine in straight line from
Terny Sorny to Cucy de Long, which
our troops entered Between these points
the French have taken Clancy -Ferrier-
Efarm, which Is the ledge OF the plateau
door and which Is now wide open. The
scissors corner, three miles behind this
line. Is now entirely freed OF the pres
ence of the enemy.
North of the Ailette Gen Mangin's
men also got still closer to Coucy lie
Chateau and crossed the Coucy road.
and reached Jumencourt, a mile north of
the canal and the river.
North of the Oise Gen. Humberts
troops are five miles north OF Noyon and
have taken Busy Bois de Chapitre and
have got nearly to Crisolles, while lower
down they cleared Champ de Manoeuvres
and established footings in Hin 103 on
the Ham road. Better still. his cavalry
are within half a mile of Guiscard
Gradually, therefore, the French are
.getting around Chauny and Noyon Mas
sif. pushing forward in the south to the
still more important position OF St. Co
balm Forest.
