U.S.CasuaItiesPIaced
Under 10000 in Bulge
Fighting for ; Weeks
BY the Associated Press.

Ey tne Associated Press.
American losses in the first three
weeks Of the big German counter
offensive were less than half those
Of the enemy.
Basing his statement on prelim-
mary tallies and estimates, Secre-
tary Of War Stimson places Ameri-
can losses in the Ardennes sector
from December Is to January 7 at
Slightly under" 10000, and said this
figure included $4,000 reported miss
ing. Most of the latter, he said, are
presumed to be German captives.
In giving his first report on Amer
ican losses in the Nazi offensive late
yesterday, Mr.. Stimson estimated
that German casualties totaled
about $4,000, including approximate
ly 10000 soldiers captured by the
Allied armies during the battle Of
the bulge" The remaining $4,000,
Secretary Stimson estimated, were
killed or wounded.
4,083 Listed Killed.
Along the entire western front
during the same period total cas-
ualties for the American 1st, Sd, 7th
and 9Th Armies amounted to SO ,594
OF these, 4,O83 were killed, 27,645
wounded and 20,866 are missing.
The 1st and Sd Armies bore the
brunt of the surprise assault which
the Germans launched December
16, so presumably the bulk of the
casualties were suffered by those two
arimes.
Mr.. StimSon emphasized that the
figures are preliminary and that "ar
accurate accounting" cannot be
made for some time.
The losses, which one military
observer described as surprisingly
low" compared with Sits reported
on the western front during No.
vember, the period of the general
American offensive against Ger
many. 5.& s 5r-....
Estimates of German casualties
other than in the Belgium
bourg bulge sector during the De-
cember 15-January period are not
available, Mr.. Stimson said.
Enemy Casualties 80 Per Cent.
On the basis of calculations that
the Germans threw approximately
0,000 troops into their drive, Mr..
Stimson's figures indicated that the
enemy's casualties totaled about 30
per cent of the attacking force.
As yet, no comprehensive report
on losses Of materiel has been made
Maj. Gen. Leo Donovan, assistant
chief of operations and training for
the ground forces, said today that
the Germans had lost a hell of q
lot" of equipment, while American
losses were not heavy. Gen. Dono-
van has just returned from an in
spection trip on the western front.
