British Casualties For
Week Reach 1865
By Associated Press

London, April 20.-British casual
ties reported during the week end
ing to-day totaled 12,36S, divided as
follows:
Killed or died of wounds, officers
SIS: men, 1859.
Wounded or missing, officers, 2,
173; men, 1881.
The casualties reported for this
week are approximately half as large
again as those reported in the pre-
ceding week. Although heavy fight
ing has now been in progress a
month however, the lists have not
begun to approach in size those of
last year in the months of active
operations when the British were on
the offensive. There is no means of
determining how far the casualties
now being reported represent losses
in the fighting since the German Of
fensive was started. In the several
weeks preceding last week however.
when S.129 names were listed, the
totals had been running no higher
than between 1000 and 1000.
