BAKING PO Absolutely Pure ~ TOTAL CASUALTIES | PLAGED AT 1,300,000 New York, Oct. 21.—Estimating the casualties among the eight hostile na- tions on the proportionate basis of British “losses “the total number of killed, wounded and captured during the first ten weeks of the war is| rearly 1,300,000. The official report of British casual- ties from Sept. 13 to Oct. 8, which has Jjust been issued, places the number at 13,845. Previous reports have giv- en the British casualties from the be- ginning of the war to Sept. 10 as ap- proximately 18,000. The total British losses for the first’ ten weeks of hostilities, therefore, aggregate about 32,000. The total British forces combating on the fight- ing line is placed at 200,000. . The British losses, therefore, are 16 per cent of this number, and by using 16 per.cent as-the basis of losses of all hostile powers the total casual- ties by minimum reckoning are about 1,300,000.

GERMANS ATTEMPT TO GROSS THE VISTULA Petrograd, Oct. 21.—Official state- ments say that the Germans attempt- ed to cross the Vistula river at sev- eral points despite very heavy rains: At no point, says the statement, have |’ they succeeded. The Russians are said to be ad- vancing steadily, although slow on the Ivangorod frontier, driving the Ger- mans before them. According to a statement published in the Army Ga- Zette some 18,000 German dead, left on the fleld by the retreating Ger- mans, were buried by the Russians. The war office states that the Ger- man right wing, which extends ‘into Galicia, has formed a junction with the Austrians. but at no point has the Germans and Austrians succeeded in gaining any distinct advantage. The Austrians have attempted to crose the San river only to be repunised with heavy losses, while 150 officers and many soldiers have been taken pris- [ oners.
