According to cablegrams printed in
the American daily newspapers, sup-
piled by news-gathering agencies.
there is wide discrepancy with re-
ference to German losses.
EARLY reports placed the German
casualties at substantially 100000 in.
dead and wounded, while a few days
later the estimate was approximately
100000.
A report printed in the metropoli-
tan papers of Monday, however, plac-
ed the number at 275,0Oo to 100000.
based upon estimates furnished by
American authorities.
Washington reports, based upon the.
opinions of military men, which in
turn were based upon probabilities
with regard to the total number 81
German divisions engaged in the
eleven days fighting. say that it has
been possible to identify one hundred
German divisions, and that in some
cases practically all of division was
wiped out by the terrific British and
French fire and in the captured.
Probably 10000.
u 1t would seem that the actual facts
may be stated TO be around the more
conservative iigures, for it is not ims
probable that IN the hasty estimates
due to the excitement Of the occasion
the casualties were greatly exagger-
ated IN the minds Of press cnrre pond
ents.
Admitting that the number of dead
and wounded Germans to be about
midway between the two extremes,
the casualties would be around hall
million. or approximately one-fftl,
to onefourth of the total German
forces thought to be massed on The
French front
Washington dispat tches report that
the Germans have removed many Of
their wounded to Belgium in order te
conceal from the German people the
enormous losses, but this, of course
is admittedly matter OF speculation

PETROGRAD
BY BOLSHEVlkl

Petrograd is being evacuted by
the Bolshevik government. Moscow,
the ancient capital, is to again be-
come the seat of the Russian Gov
ernment, while Petrograd is to be
made a free port.
The population of Petrograd is
quitting it hurriedly and various
government departments are re-
moving further inland away from
the German invader. Bolshevik
councils in Moscow and the pro-
vinces are said to be more opposed
to the Germans and a separate
peace than those in Petrograd.
Previous reports that the hard
terms IF the German peace treaty.
which take from Russia thousands
of square miles in Europe and Asia,
would not be accepted by the all
Russian congress of workmen's and
and soldiers delegates. indicated
also that the non-peace elements
in the Bolshevik ranks were gain
ing the upper hand. Evacuation of
] Petrograd was mentioned as one OF
measures the war party proposed.
