paredness of the entente at the dis
astrous retreats'in France at the be
ginning of the war, in Russia from
the Mazurian lakes and the Carpath
ians and in Rumania.
The entente’s dead total 2,890,400
against 1,550,800 for the central em
pires; the entente’s wounded total 1,
676,500, against 922,000 for their
enemies, and their captured and miss
ing 1.052.000, against 912,000 for the
I central empires. These losses are
i based upon the assumption that in
Germany 90 per cent of the total
wounded return to the front and SO
( per cent in all other countries.
Russia Heaviest Loser
Russia is infinitely the heaviest
loser so far, with a grand total of
084,200 men. The hulk of these
losses occurred in the Mazurian lakes
* :
disaster and the two retreats from the
Carpathians when prisoners were
taken by the tens of thousands. More
over. lack of communications and hos
pital facilities has made the death
rate in Russia extraordinarily high.
Their dead total 1,500,000, their
wounded 784,200 and their prisoners
and missing 80(1,000, which is said to
be much low r than the probable
number.
France has suffered the second
highest (V.* jaihes with a total of 1,*
810,800. large!; because of the early
retreat to the Marne and the terrific
losses in the baivle cf Verdun, her
dead total 870.000, her wounded 540,
800 and her missing and rantured
400.000, though this lnsf figure ,s be
lieved here to be probably high.
England Is Lowest
England’s total falls far below, be
ing about on • third of France’s and
one-sixth of Russia's, owing,
course, to her lar•• sending of a conti
nental army. From row on, however, i
her losses are ■* v ected to keep fairly
close to those «»• the 1 cm I., who have
seriously felt the drain on man power.
England’s total comes to 515.400, with
205,400 deail. 102.500 wounded and
107,500 captured and u. ssing.
Rumania, though ent wing tlm war*
only last summer, has lost half a rnii
iinn men through her rata! ;*11 ‘nipt to
cross into Transylvania wnen the
centra powers were outflanking her
through the Bohrudja. Her d«*:ui are
given as 100.000, her wounded a- 150,
000 and her captured and missing
si bout 250.000.
Italy Escapes Lightly
Italj has been saved from extreme
casualties through the impossibility of
open operations on her mountainous
frontiers-. Her total reaches 209.000,
including 105,000 dead, 49,000 wound
ed and 55,000 captured and missing.
Belgium and Serbia, the two small
states overrun by the German ma
chine, after desperate resistance, have
both lost very heavily in proportion
to population. Belgium’s casualties
come to 112.000. with 50.000 dead. 22,
000 wounded and 40.000 captured and
missing. Serbia’s dead comes to 60,
000. her wounded to 28,000, making a
total of 88.000, with the number of
missing and captured large, hut un

loser, her total casualties being 1.
585,200, or 225,000 less than France’s.
Her dead come to 89.*>,000, which is
slightly higher than France’s, while
her wounded are set at 450,000 and
her captured and missing 245,000,
proportionately the lowest of the na
tions. Germany, because of her
lighting on interior lines, without
having suffered a bloody retreat and
with a highly efficient medical service
has lost very few in captured and
wounded, but her offensives have led
her into heavy losses in dead. Nearly
one-third of her losses are estimated!

run up to 151,000, owing to the heavy
losses of prisoners- in the two retreats
