GERMAN L0§SES AT VERDUN 200,000 According to Estimates Made at Paris from a Semi-Official Source—One of the Greatest Battle Losses in the Whole Range of Warfare — Reinforcements Practically Used Up as Soon as Put in Line—239 Battalions of Infantry in Action on Verdun Front from Avoncourt to Eparges. Paris, April 7. 3.20 D. m—The Ger- man losses before Verdun up to the present time have reached the huge total of 200,000 men, one of the great- est battle losses in the whole range of warfare, according to estimates made public here today from a semi- official source—the result of careful in- quiry made in the highest quarters in which the figures have been rigorous- ly checked and verified.” “Documentary and verbal testimony gathered and authenticated permit the giving of precise details concerning the losses suffered by the Germans and by us on the Verdun front” says the semi-official communication given to The Associated Press. Two Army Corps Lose One-Third. “During the period from February 21, when the battle began, to April 1, it is known that two army _corps, namely the Third and the _ Eighth, have been withdrawn from the front, having lost in the first attacks at least one-third of their forces. They have reappeared since and have again suftered like losses. Reinforcements Practically Used Up. “The German reinforcements are practically used up as fast as they are put in line. The total effectives of the eighteenth corps have in this way lost 17,000 men and the third corps has lost 22,000 men. “Converning the 121st division which took possession of North Vaux about March 12 we have precise information More than one-half of the Seventh regiment of its reserves was put out of action by our machine guns in the ineffectual attack against the slopes of the fert. The Sixteenth regiment met similar losses, of which the total reached sixtr per cent. of the regi- ment's effectives. Losses Suffered By 19th Infantry. “The Nineteenth German infantry had already suffered similar losses in attacking the vilage of Vaux on March 9. Its Thirteenth company was surprised and annihilated in entering the village houses. Its first battalion was reduced sixty per cent. Three reg- iments of the Eleventh Bavarian di- vision which led the attack on the ncourt and Aconcourt Woods on March 20 and 22 luced by one-half. Their losses va »d between 50 and 60 per cent. The same is trua of the losses of ti Fourth regiment of the Second division of Landwehr engaged under similar conditions. es or in reserve under the fire of our cannon. They are solely the current actual losses. We know that certain German units have had very high current losses, that Is to say, losses from artillery fire, when no action ot the infantry was in progress. We cite, for instance, the Thirty Seventh regiment of infantry which was sur- prised by our fire while on the march to the trenches. It lost about 500 men, and from this fact was so re- duced that it could not, on March 10, take part in the attack on the vil- lage of Vaux, as was ordered, in place of the Nineteenth regiment which had been decimated by our machine guns. 239 Battalions of Infantry Used. “Summarizing, during the foray days from February 21 to April 1, the Ger- mans had on_the Verdun front from Avoncourt to Eparges exactly 239 bat- talions of infantry representing a minimum of 1075 companies of infan- try besides twenty-three battalions of engineers of three companies each which give an aggregate of 1144 com- panies fully reinforced, the #ompanies varying from 260 to 280 men. The as- saulting army represented at least 2 00 infantry alone. Reinforcements Frequent and Heavy. “Since February 21 the reinforce- ments have been frequent and heavy. At least eighty battalions have been sent to the rear to be ofnstituted. Others have received their reinforce- ments on the fleld. It is estimated, estimated. therefore, nearly 450,000 in- fantry which have appeared upon the fighting line and this estimate is even under the mark. News Gathered From Prisoners. “Declarations gathered from pris- oners and our own observations lead us to estimate at least one-third of the total force engaged as the mini- mum losses of the German infantry up to April 1. 1t is therefore 150,000 men who hkave fallen solely upon the first battle line. “I’ut the German losses do not stop there. In a modern battle long range guns reach far behind the first line, striking lines of communication and the auarters of troops. s the range of the artillery lengthens, the zone of destruction behind the battle line increases proportionately. The German artillery literally piled up in the woods, suffered losses comparable with those of the infantry. Finally v artillery reached supply and innumerable convoys in the The Greatest Showing MEN' AND YOUNG MEN'S Spring Clothing EVER GATHERED IN ONE STORE Men and young men who want new clothes for Easter and the days to follow we extend to you a whole-hearted in- vitation to come to this live store and see the wouderfully Losses From Artillery Firs. “The foregoing are only losses dur- ing actual attack and do not include the losses of regiments in the trench- We arrive thus, keeping within a t moderate estimate, at upward of 200,000 men as the figures of our en- emy’s losses before Verdun.” ARICHIELLO GUILTY OF MURDER OF BARNET BAFF.; New York Poultry Dealer Who Was Killed in November, 1914.
