U. S. LOSSES $4,000
Estimate of High General Official
at Washington.
German Losses Past Two Weeks
Have Been at Least 100000,
He Says.

Washington, July 27.-German loss
es the past two weeks have been 2OO,-
900 or more. according to a high gen.
eral officers estimate.
He doubted that American casual
ties would surpass $4,000 or that
American plus British, French and
Italian would exceed 100, 900.
These figures, presented as an Offset
to wild German propaganda claims of
enormous slaughter of Americans, in
clude all casualties which put men
hors de combat.
German propaganda has claimed
first hat hundreds of thousands" OF
Americans were killed and later tens
of thousands" This line of misinfor-
nation is seen here as a double at
tempt to cover defeat at home and to
endeavor TO dismay the timorous In
this country.
Loss Not Out of Proportion.
Secretary Baker declared that the
American losses have not been out of
proportion to the numbers engaged or
to the extent of the operations in
volyed.
The suggestion has been made to
the secretary that the censors abroad
could well exercise their prerogatiye
of killing copy when German propa'
ganda cables as to exaggerated losses
or disasters appear. The secretary is
understood to feel that the American
people, as a whole, take little or no
stock in anything the Germans say
But a certain element, including pa
c%ifists, pro-Germans and the timid, use
German tales to their own ends.
AS for German losses. the Amerf
cans are in a good position to get re
liable data, for they are on the ad
vance and, therefore, according to Ba
ker, have superior opportunity for eb
servation.

POWER PLANT BURNED

Madison met with its greatest
fire catastrophe when the munich
pal power plant was destroyed by
a fire which started about 1890
this morning. The plant is a
complete wreck, engines. dyna-
mos, switches and everything else
destroyed. The FIRE started over
the telephone booth on the west
side Of the building, presumably
by a defective wire. The city
commissioners are planning to Sc
cure engine and pump and sup
ply the city with water, but it will
take a day or two. A meeting of
citizens is called to be held at
high school auditorium at 7:30
o'clock this evening to devise
ways and means of providing
light and power.
The city tonight will be patrol
ed by the local home guard COM
pany, fully armed to shoot if me-
ccssary.
1t is suggested that the use OF
lamps in the business district oil
the city be prohibited. all places
to close at shutdown.
The loss of the power plant
will be a great inconvenience to
everybody. But it is likely at this
evenings meeting of business men
some means will be devised to re.
Iieve the situation at the earliest
day possible.
