German Losses
Are Estimated at
- Three Millions
TAJOB, March I An official note Is
sued, by the French press bureau de
clares that the German losses since the
beginning of hostilities In killed, wound
ed, sick and prisoners ruaches the enor
mous total of 1,000.000 men. This calcu
lation la based on the known casualties
In ton German regiments.
"Analysis of the German losses during
five months, in ten regiments taken from
amy corps on both the eastern and west
ern German fronts, shows a total of M.281
officers and soldiers; that Is, an average
per regiment of 735 monthly," says the
note.
Applying this percentage of losses to
the entire German army, Including raw
landwehr, landsturm, new formations and
marines, tbe deduction I made that the
total German losses during the seven
months of the war must exceed 1,000,000.
The note continues:
".Even admitting that certain regiments
suffered less than those mentioned above,
all the regiments have been violently en
gaged repeatedly on one or the other of
the two fronts, sometimes on both, and
It Is Impossible to arrive at a smaller fig
ure for the total German losses. Including
the sick, than 1, 000,004"

At these conferences Japan has been dis

been contending for the retention of a
clause permitting It to repurchase the
South Manchurian railroad at the ex
piration of a period of thirty-six years
from the date of the original lease of this
line to Russia, but It now appears that
Its efforts have been fruitless.
At the Chinese meeting held In Peking

of the ports of Dalny and Tort Arthur.
