12,000 GERMANSREPORTED
SLAIN IN BATTLE AT YPRES
'London, May 4. —Pereival Phillips,
» in a dispatch to the "Daily Express"
from the Belgian frontier, savs:
"The German staff in Belgium admit
they lost 12,000 dead in the battle of
Vpres. Some idea of the enormous
flood of wounded that poured across
Belgium last week may be gathered
from the fact that on Thursday alone
trains, each of 40 carriages filled
with serious cases, passed through
Bruges on the way to Cologne.
"Southeast of Bruges and east of
| the Briyrps-Courtai road Flanders ap
| pears to bo literally packed with wait
ing divisions bivouacked in fields and
billeted in every building, while the
countryside is dotted with new artillery
parks. Belgian railway officials declare
that the recent movement of new armies
into Flanders was the finest example
of perfect organization they had ever
witnessed."

of rilles and some camel gear. During
the night of April 28-29 our artillery
Severely damaged a dredging boat.

SAYS CLAIMS OF RUSSIAN
DEFEAT ARE EXAGGERATED
London, May 4.—German claims of
a crushing defeat of the Russian center
are exaggerated accounts of local suc
cesses, in the opinion of the "Daily
Mail's" military correspondent, who
says:
"Such exaggerated claims are to be
expected just now in view of the ne
cessity of influencing wavering neu
trals. Nevertheless, the German offen
sive against the Russian center long
has been expected. For the past month
the Germans have been moviug men to
Cracow.
"That such a maneuver as piercing [
the Russian center was essayed at the,
same time as serious attacks toward
Riga and Vpres shows the resources and j
amazing audacity of the German staff, i
If the Russian front has been pierced l
and a serious reverse suffered, the war j
will be greatly prolonged, but that any j
German success, however great, will af- ;
feet the resistance of Russia cannot be ,
believed."
