Taking the British statistics published yesterday as a rough guide, we may make a little calculation of the Austro-German loses in the Sagest river during the past fort- night. The British statistics show that the number missing (La prisoners of war etc.) represent about one-sixth of the total casualties. We are
told that the Russian during the past fort night have captured in the Sareth river region alone no less than forty thousand prisoners Assuming the proportion of missing to killed and wounded are the same as in the British statistics, wo reach the conclusion that the Austro-Gorma losses in that region alone, in a single fortnight, must have amounted to close on a quarter of a million ment obvious that the losses suffered by all the nations at war must already make ar appalling aggregate-running into
