ENEMY'S ESTIMATED LOSSES.
It la entlmat.fi unofficially that th.
rn.mjr loaaes wer. 200,000 In th. re
cent fighting, of which 60,000 w.r.
inflicted by th. Americana. Th.
prisoners alon. number over 20,000
and th. limn in d.ad and wounded
re appalling.
Th. French used more armored
ear than usual and cavalry or mount
ed patrol, were effectively employed
in clearing th. foresta and maintain
ing contact.
Toward Salmons! there hat been
increased artillery work and bitterer
and ateadier fighting. The r'rench
and American aoldi.n disregarded
caution ahnoet entirely, advancing
their linea in open order and taking
what ram., not bothering to hunt
down machine gun n,-a. Thia brought
them into rloaer contact with the
main body of th. retreating force.
In numerous esse machine gun
rompaniea aurrendered, although it
waa nereaeary to clean up many oth
er.. Diviaion headquarter are eonstant
ly changing on account of th. com
paratively rapid advancement of the
linea. Some of them hav. been
subjected to occasional shells, both
ehrapnel and gaa though without dam
age. Behind th. linea long tran
porta of allied troop All th. road
leading to th. front, th. allied plane,
and observing balloon giving warn
ing against interference by enemy
artillery or hoatil. aircraft.
Th. American troopa both on the
line and on th. road ar. keen spir
ited. Many of them having learned
a smattering of French, they often
yell to the French marching by
amusing comment, on "th. big
how." Invariably th. French reply,
unusually In language in which the
Americans do not understand, al
though they shout their approval,
no matter what th. words may m.an.
Intermingled in th. lin. of battle
and along the roads are whit., black
and yellow race, in all the units and
the big machine is moving without
knack or loot motion. Now and
then the color schema to the rear
of th. lighting lines la broken by
column of gray clad prieonera. In
cores of rases, prisoners beg of their
guard to tell them when they are
to bo shot. Tha majority of them,
however, stolidly accept what they
believe to be their fat.
