Cshilng has exhausted tho troops of
both armies, but tho Germans have
suffered worse than the Allle- German
prisoners report tho mo3t terrlblo con
ditions prevailing along tho lines. Somo
German regiments have been com
pletely wiped out. In many Instances
n new regiment has been formed In the
1 dful of troops left ' regiments
which have -sen In tho forefront of
attacks.
The Prussian Guards have suffered
most heavily because they were thrown
forward against tho enemy to lead
many of the assaults made around
Ithelms.
While no authentic figures are ob
tainable from military headriuarters,
officers who are familiar with the sit
uation declare the German casualties
In the Battle of the Alsne, now believed
entering Its decisive Btape, total fully
ISO.OOO In killed, wounded and missing.
The losses of the Allies, they say, prob
nbly will bo 100,000, inasmuch as at
many points of tho Hue It has been
found necessary to deliver frontal at
tacks on heavily Intrenched positions.
In the case of the Germans It Is said
they have a far higher percentage In
dead than the Allies. The British have
lost heavily, but alt of tho gaps In
their forces have been filled with tho
members of tho latest expedition to
reach France.
A lull seems to have fallen over the
fighting In tho Woevre district, duo to
tho thick fog which made It Impossible
for the troops to undertake any opera
tions for fear that friend would attack
friend.
Prince Adalbert, a son of Emperor
William, Is reported to have met his
death upon the battlefield from a Ger
man bullet. According to this rumor,
the Prince, who was in ad"ance of hU
troops, was shot by mlstako and not
by design.
French mil authorities deny that
the Germans have weakened tv of the
forts south of Verdun. On the con
trary. It Is said, the German troops Ii
that district are menaced on three sides
by the French.
More optimism was felt her today
than at any oth - time since the battle
of the Alsne began despite the silence
Imposed by the French Go .-rnment.
In the opinion of competent authorities
big movements are under way on the
part of the French and British, which
accounts for the stricter censorship.
These movements, It Is believed, will
terminate the fight In favor of the
Allies.
The Germans are reported to have
been driven from a number ot the stono
quarries which they occupied new tho
confluence of tho Olse and the Alime In
t'-t vicinity of Complcgne. However, a
number ot these natural fortresses are
still In tho linnda of tho Germans. u
quarries arc so Immense that each Is
capable of holding about a thousand
men and a considerable quantity of
ammunition and provisions. They ar"
connected with subterranean passages
which have been utilized as well as the
main chambers.
A telegram from Geneva says that a
battery of German artillery was sent
across Svlss soil In an effort to secure
an advantageous position to tho south
of the French right wing, but the men
were captured and disarmed. They
proved willing captives, not having
eaten anything for six days except
some raw vegetables and a little fruit.
A picture of Buffeting Is brought from
tho German lines by prisoners, most of
whom pass through Paris on their way
to detention camps In the southwest.
The Germans are camped In miles of
underground trenches and galleries
along the Alsne River. Tho autumnal
weather, with Its warm sunshine In the
day time, damp nights and bitterly cold
dawns, Is extremely trying to the men,
who are compelled to spend every
minute In the same section of the damp,
dark, depressing earthworks.
If the men step from their trenches
to level ground they do so at the risk
of their lives. At night the chance of
an unexpected attack from the Allies
Is so great that every German soldier
must be nt his post In the narrow ditch,
which is his home and defense, sleeping
the best he can with his rifle at his
side. He must be able to spring up any
hour of the night to repel an attacking
force whoso cold steel gleams at his
throat. Most of the nights are dark,
and the sentries, whose nerves have
been tried to the breaking point, often
lire their rir.-s at the most Innocent
sounds, bringing the whole advance
post up at the doublo quick. Such
alarms occur every night, bringing
fresh weariness to the already ex
hausted soldiers.
German soldiers are suffering fright
fully from the insanitary conditions In
their trenches and from the lack of
substantial food.
The German trench system Is elabo
rate. It constitutes a whole subter
ranean town with main thoroughfare-',
side streets and a telephone system.
There thousands of men eat and sleep
so well concealed that men at tho
foot of the slope can see nothing but
the banks of earth.

The War Office, In Its ortlclal state

France had settled down to a general
artlltery duel. Interspersed with fre
quent assaults at the vital points along
the line.
The report says:
While the lighting is general, it
is not apparent at any line of the
battle that th conflict has entered
into deciding stages. The German
right has been subjected to severe
pressure, but ivery attempt to

Despite the censored news, the situation along the battle lines in France is believed to favor the Allies, except possibly in Verdun-Toul region, where
the Germans have broken through the line of forts at St. Mihiel. The French, however, claim to have prevented their advance here from taking on the
character of a flanking movement against the French rear. On the western wing, the fighting is of a most violent hand-to-hand character, but it is believed
the French troops have taken position far to the north of the Aisne and near the Somme and to have repulsed Von Kluk's attack near Noyon and Ribecourt.
Further north the reported attacks at Bajaume, north of St. Quentin, are believed to mark a French movement toward the Belgium frontier, which may be the
reason for the reported burning of Mons by the Germans.
