Show TERRIBLE TOLL OF TRENCHES. British Expert Estimates German Losses at 2,700,000 Men. London. The Times military expert devotes nearly three columns to an estimate es-timate of the German losses during the war. With due allowances for many considerations which tend to make such estimates to a large extent guesswork, the correspondent believes that during the eighteen months of ths war Germany has lost about 2,700,000 men, It is estimated by the writer that Germany now has 3,600,000 men in the field and that she had about 9,000,000 men available at the beginning of the war. This, he says, would leave her a reserve of 2,700,000 men, many of whom are needed for internal duty. |
