Avers Germany Has Lost 6,000,000 Men.

Washington, Oct. 20.—Germany has lost six million men in the three years of war, according to a declaration made in the reichstag by the independent socialist, Ledebeour. A report of his speech, reaching Washington through Switzerland, states that contemplating the prospects of a fourth winter campaign, the socialist leader said: “You have not evidently, gentlemen, an exact conception of what w;ar means. We have had 1,500,000 dead, three or four million wounded, of whom 500,000 are crippled for life, and two million absolutely invalided. That makes altogether six million men lost during three years.”
