It was learned Jn Washington, yes
terday that Germany la propared to
sacrlflco moro than a million men to
achieve hor objectivo on the western
front,
Tho military and socialist leadors
ot Germany had an understanding be
fore tho drlvo began and the radicals
and socialists promlsod that thoy
would make no protests If tho num
bers of mon lost on tho westorh front
In the present drlvo did not oxeced
that numbor.
Tho military leadors gavo tholr
bledco that this figure, ono million
mon, would not bo oxeccded In losses,
but of lato thoy havo warned tho Ger
man nation that rocont fighting In tho
wost had exacted a frightful toll, thus
preparing them for tho oxcesslvo
casualty lists which will follow tho
Plcardy and Flandors .hattlos. It Is
bol loved that tho Ilgurea whoa mado
public, will bo above tho estimates
mado of "cannon foddor" which the
loaders promlsod to limit thomselves
to.
