((.'OXTINTKI) FROM PACK ONF of which are limited and are constantly being decreased by losses in action. OH kits Sf-rloiiH Nevtl. "The question of otlicers is a serious one. An examination of our losses show we have lost already 1,100 officers in killed, wounded and missing. This is two out of every live among those at the front. "More otlicers is the constant cry from tho front, and several hundred more have been sent, but obviously this cannot be kept up for ever. Kach o.'lieer sent is one. less for the instruction of new troops at home. We must not allow ourselves to become megalomaniacs and plaice in the tiehl regiments -which are unlit to defend tho honor of our armies." The latest ottlcial report of Field -Marshal ir John French on operations in France, carrying the campaign of the British forces up to Sept. i!l shows that the lighting along the Aisne has been fully as desperate and furious as the unutlicial press telegrams indicated. Call-, llattlo Siege. Sir John describes the battle as "siege warfare" and says that it will probably be some time yet before thero is a decisive conclusion. He supplements the report with a letter written by a (ierman soldier in which high tribute is paid to the lighting qualities of the Rritsih. "The artillery duel has been in progress- since the light began". Sir John says, "and has now become a matter of normal routine, rather than an event". It was not known until th Rritish Held marshal's report was made public. that Austrian artillery is in France helping the Oermans. According to r.cii, French the Austrian heavy artillery gave great assistance to the Hermans at the bombardment of Manbeuge. The Fnglish general makes particular preference to the excellent morale, of the Rritish. saying they refuse to get st ared and nervous at the terrific cannonade of the Hermans.

They have been subjected to bad f weather, consisting of cold rains, niul i have been constantly under lire for ' weeks, but they are cheerful and ! every man is confident of winning. j (iives Optimistic View. Sir John spoke of the heavy losses j of orticers, but the statement on the i whole was written in an optimistic' view and was unquestionably intend- j ed to cheer up the people of Fngland. ' The Rritish field marshal accuses the Hermans of using French prison- ! ers as shields. In this connection Sir ) John appends a copy of an order in j

which the troops are warned against being made prisoners by the Hermans. One interesting bit of the report referred to the Herman bombardments. The Herman shrapnel are Mlled with powder giving off a thick, black smoke when they explode. The Rritish troops dubbed these shrapnel "Rlack Maria's" and "Jack Johnson's". This information was gie:i to show that the Knglish were not dispirited.

the advance of the allies could not be slower. Hermans (lioo Hmm1 Rase The French and Rritish are fighting their way over a difficult course and it is seen that the Hermans had acted with considerable forethougr.t when they selected and intrenched the line along the Oise and Aisne. When Hen. von Kluck's army swept for war! on

its victorious dash past Paris, thous- j ands of soldiers were left behind near j St. Quentin, Alafore, No von. Com- '

piegne, Soissons Iaon and other points along the Oise, and Aisne to construct strong and extensive fortifications. Fven cement bases were built for the cannon. It seems now as though the doughty and vigilant von Kluck foresaw his own retirement and had his

defenses already waiting for him, about 70 miles back from the most advanced position that his army reached. The leaders of the allies declare that the morals of their troops are excellent. Although tired, they are in good spirits and are full of fight. One of the objects of the Hermans in shelling the French and Rritish lines night and day was to break the nerve of the allied troops by the crashing thunder

of bursting shells. At the time this is side has yet gained a tage. The main lines

are still Intact. I mailers Stand 1-lrm.

In the north the French are still

able the (ierman gunners to locate the spot where the shells fall. It Is pointed out that the battle line seems to be farther extended toward the northwest everyday. This is the result of the opposithm of the Herman troops that have been thrown forward to engage the French forces which are pressing northward on the west side of the Oise. Many rfl(rrs Killed Hen. von Kluck's main line does not extend to Peronne. around which place fighting is still in progress. The Hermans in that region are in advanced lines. Fnofficial reports from the front speak of the gieat number of officers being killed un both sides. This war

will surely stand out in the history of ; the world for the enormous number I of officers killed in action. It is almost impossible to estimate the losses j men of all ranks. The plain east of I Verdun is said to be strewn with l.'O.-i

000 dead awaiting burial. Ten thousand Hermans are said to have fallen in the furious attacks made against the French at Verdun. Westward in the Argonne region, upon the plateau of Craonne and still farther west to the Oise the losses have been staggering. The world will undoubtedly be appalled when the true death figures are given out b.v the governments.
