SAY GERMANS LOST 200,000
PETROGRAD, Oct. 23.—The German losses in Rus
sian Poland amount to two hundred thousand men accord
ing to estimates carefully compiled by Russian military
experts. The greater part of those losses are said to
have been sustained in the ellorts of the enemy to storm
the strong Russian positions on the \ istula river. In
several instances the Germans advanced in great bodies
on positions which were evidently almost invulnerable
and as a consequence they sullered frightfully while ad
vancing as well as during their retreat.
The danger to Warsaw is not considered great by
military men in this capital. Fhe weather is now becom
ing more severe and the Germans will have some difficulty
in weathering it out unless they can capture the city. In
some quarters it has been suggested that if Warsaw is
endangered it should be burned as Moscow was burned
in the time of Napoleon to prevent its use as winter
quarters.
LONDON DESCRIBES BATTLE
LONDON, Oct. 23.—French naval vessels are today
standing by the British monitors which are hurling shells
landward between Nieuport and Ostend in the continua
tion of the fierce battle which is raging between the Ger
mans and the allies for the possession of the North Sea
and English channel ports, t he Germans are hurrying
for war a tresh troops and heavy guns and although they
have been pushed back at certain points they appear yet
to be holding the line beween the sea and Labassee. lheyr
are not. however, making any noteworthy progress. The
fighting has resolved itself into a terrilic artillery duel
in which the allies have the advantage by reason of their
long range guns. 1 he roads are so muddy and the coun
try occupied by the Germans is so cut up by a network
of canals that the Germans are prevented from getting
their big guns into action. King Albert ot Belgium is per
sonally directing his army in the land fighting and his
troops are making a splendid resistance as it they had
never suffered. These Belgians and their fighting qualities
are regarded here as extraordinary. Ne\ei has a nation
been so frightfully punished and yet its soldiers continue
fighting every inch ot the way cm their home teiiitoiy.
Military experts he»v declare that their work will stand
out for all time as the greatest example of national and
individual heroism. In the meantime the British people
arc* watching the great battle almost at their \ei\ doois
and hoping that its ending will not find the enemy two
hours steamboat ride from Dover.
NO BIG CHANGE IN FRANCE
LONDON, Oct. 23.—Official reports from France
and Germany indicate that no important results have been
reached in the fighting in the western theater. Fierce
engagements are known to have* been fought at both ends
of the great line of battle and are still continuing but the
results"are of rather a fluctuating character and not at
all decisive. The very fierceness of the fighting, however,
makes it almost certain that it cannot be maintained very
long and that a decision must soon be reached.

BATTLING ON THE COAST
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 22.—A furious bombardment
is now proceeding on the coast between Ostend and Nieu
port. The Germans are firing from Mariankerke and
Middlekerke while the French are answering from Nieu
port itself and the British from their warships that are
standing off the shore. British aviators are flying over
the Germans and directing the fire of the French and
British guns on the enemy's position. While the probable
result of this artillery battle cannot be guessed it is
apparent that the guns which have the longest range are
sure to win. Another attack by German submarines on
the British ships at that point is looked for.
BRITISH RELEASE SHIP
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—On the demand of the
United States government the British government has
released the American steamer .John I). Rockefeller w hich
had been seized with a cargo of oil off the Scotch islands
while she was bound for Copenhagen. The vessel is a
tank one and the protest against her capture was made
at the request of the owner, the Standard Oil company.
ITALIANS IN ALBANIA
VENICE, Oct. 22.—There is current an unconfirmed
report that Italian marines have been londed at Avlona
in Albania and if the rumor proves to be correct it is sure
to cause some serious trouble between this country and
Austria which has always insisted in directing affairs
related to the former Turkish territory.
KAISER’S NEPHEW KILLED
LONDON, Oct. 23.—It is officially announced that
Prince Maximilian of Hesse was killed on Octobei 12 w hile
fighting in a battle at Mont Descats and was butied in
the grounds of a monastery which crown that hill. He
was the son of the youngest sister of the Kaiser Wilhelm
but he insisted in fighting like any ordinary officer at the
head of a guards regiment.
