GERMANY'S HEAVY LOSS.
LADS MARCHING TO DEATH. LONDON, Nov. 17. An eye-witness with the British headquarters staff estimates that during the attack on Ypres on November 8 the .enemy's' losses m front of one square British section totalled about twelve thousand. There is evidence that the Germans are beginning to be affected by • their heavy losses, and a Jarge proportion of t ; .eir forces are comparatively untaained> but the great fact remains that these ill-f. "ported levies do not hesitate to advan o against highly-trained troops. Boys of 16 a. d 17 are marched steadily up to the muzzles of our rifles, and meet death . m droves unflinchingly.''.
