French Estimates of Casualties
In Great Battle Reach
Washington
IS FAIRLY ACCURATE
Teutons Are Sending Their wounded
20 Belgium to Conceal the Losses
From the German People.

washing ton, April IA French Of
ficial estimate of the German losses in
the great battle on the western front
puts their total casualties at between
275,00o and 100000 men. The Germans
are sending most Of their wounded to
Belgium, 1t Is declared, to conceal
from the German people their heavy
sacrifices.
It has been possible to identify. the
despatch says. nearly 100 German d.
visions, more than ten Of which were
twice engaged. Some of the divisions,
II is declared. had to be relieved at the
end Of the first day after losing more
than half their men.
The despatch follows:
AFTER an II days offensive. during
which the Germans have recklessly
pushed forward their attacking waves
one may gather fairly accurate
estimate of their losses.
I'm the first place, 1t has been possible
to Identify nearly 100 Of their DIVISIONS
since the beginning of 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
of the 45th and the SSth. The latter has
been nearly entlreiy WiPeu Jul. <>"i's
those that have suffered the most are the
9Th. 18th, 2sth and 107th divisions. as well
as the End (Prussian Guard), the 16th the
2lst, and 26th divisions of reserves.
I'm the second place. an enormous num-
her of corpses were found on the battle
ground, and the prisoners on being ques-
toned acknowledged the extent of the
losses Of their respective units.
ITO conceal from the German people
the heavy sacrifices that their offensive
methods required. the Germans are send
ing most Of their wounded to Belgium.
1T is not an exaggeration to estimate
the total Of their losses at between $4,000

SPEAKS WITH COMPLETE CANDOR.
''The Netherlands government deems
1t it's duty, especially In serious times
such as the present. to speak with COM
plete candor. 1t voices the sentiments
of the entire Dutch nation, whicn sees
in the seizure an act of violence which
1t will oppose with all the energy 'ot
its conviction and its wounded national
feeling.
According to the presidential state
ment, this procedure offers Holland ample
opportunity to obtain bread grain. TINS
is SO only apparently; for would It not DC
an irresponsible act, after the experiences
of Dutch ships in American and British
ports, t. permit other ships to sail to
these ports with out adequate guarantees
that these experiences shall not recur!
THE American government has always
appealed tc right ind Justice. has always
come forward as the champion OF small
nations. That IL now co-operates In an act
diamctrically opposed to these principles
is a proceeding which can find no counter
weight in the manifestations OF friendship
or assurances Of lenient application OF
