GERMAN LOSS IS
PLACED AT 800 900
Wrench Officials Place Loss OF leu.
tnns in Offensive SO Far at About
:'t'O,000 Men. One Hundred Divisions
ENGAGED.

Washington. April IA French Of
iicial estimate of the German loss in
the great battle on tho western front
puts their casualties at bcwccn 275 900
and 100000 men. The Germans are
sending most of their wounded to Bel
Gium, it is declared. to conceal from
the German people their heavy sacri-
fees.
It has been possible to identify, the
dispatch says. nearly 100 German di-
visions. more than ten of which were
twice engaged. Some Of the divisions,
it is declared. had 10 be relieved at
the end OF the first day after losing
more than half their men.
The dispatch follows:
After an eleven days offensive dur
ing which the Germans have reckless
ly pushed forward their attacking
waves. one may gather fairly accur-
ate estimate OF their losses.
"ln the first place, it has been pos
sible to identity nearly 100 of their
viz iolohS SiuCc INC DeSlIlnlnS or the
offensive. more than ten of which
were twice engaged. Some divisions
had to be relieved at the end of the
first day having lost more than half
of their men. Such was the case with
the 18th and SSth. The latter has
been nearly entirely wiped out. Among
those that have suffered the most are
the 9Th. 2Sth and 18th divisions, as
we'll as the End (Prussian Guard), the
10th. the 2lst and Goth divisions of re-
serves.
In the second place, an enormous
number of corpses were found on the
battle ground. and the prisoners on
being questioned acknowledge the ex-
tent Of losses Of their respective units.
TO conceal from the German pco-
pie the heavy sacrifices that their Of
lensive methods required, the Germans
are sending most Of their wounded to
Belgium.
1T is not an eXaggeration to esti-
mate the total Of their losses at be-
tween 275.0OO to 100000 men"

ORDER FOR NICKNAME.
sold Hickory Designation Selected
for ThirtietIl Division.

Camp Sewer, March 30.-Brigadicr
General Faison, temporarily in com
mand at Camp Sewer, has caused the
following order to be issued in con-
ncction with the selection of the nick
name. "Old Hickory Division" for the
Thirticth Division, u. S. A.:
81. The name Old Hickory Diyi-
sion is selected from the names sug-
sestcd for this division as best cx-
employing the sturdy fighting quail
ties Of soldiers from North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee, who
comprise the vast majority of the per-
sonnel of the division.
-. Old Hickory was the affection
ate nickname Of Andrew jackson, fa-
nous American general Of the War of
lSl2. He was born in l7G7. While
both North and South Carolina claim
him as a native son, it is certain that
he studied law at Salisbury, n. c., and
while yct under 20 years Of age he
was admitted to the bar as attorney
and counselor. and in 17SS was ap-
pointed public prosecutor in the region
now forming the State Of Tennessee.
In 1896 he wa selected TO congress and
in 1897 to the United States senate,
from which body he resigned the fol-
lowing year. From 1898 to 1904 he
was judge Of the supreme courts of
Tennessee. He was again elected 10
the United States senate from Ten
ncsscc in 1923. He was later presi-
dent of the United States for eight
consecutive years.
%. His life was a stormy one, but
taken all in all. old Hickory Jackson
was one of the most commanding per-
sonalities in American history. 1t is
his indomitablc fighting qualities, as
shown particularly at the battle of
New Orleans on January s, 1916, thai
this division will emulate The mill
tary history Of the ancestors of the
soldiers Of this division give every rca-
son for the world to expect great
things of their sons.
"a. The Thirtieth Division will ac-
cordingly be known hereafter as the
Old Hickory Division"

ROAD BUILDING POLICY

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture, IN a communi
cation to the American Association
of Highway Officials, has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con
struction during the war Secretary
Houston says:
80 far as it is practicable to do
so. this department will urge the
maintenance of the highways al.
ready constructed; the construction
and. completion of those highways
which are vitally important because
of their bearing upon the war situa-
lion or for the movement of eommod-
tiles; the postponement of all high
way construction relatively less es-
sential or not based upon important
military or economic needs. The de-
partment is preparing to suggest to
the state highway departments, the
preparation OF schedule of work
for the federal aid projects for 1918
in line with this policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the office Of public roads, of the de-
partment of agriculture; schedule
forms on which the states are re-
quested to set forth their proposed
federal aid work for the 1918 work
ing season. These schedules call
