Terrible German Losses.

All reports from the field speak of the terrible German loss. Again and again they rally to fight stubbornly only to beoverthrown by the Allies’s dash. The light on the line of the Grand Morin kept up to the last possible moment for the leonine courage of the Germans at Esternay. Their losses are estimated at 8000 dead alone on Wednesday in the country on the banks of the Petit Morin which was less favorable for defence, and was completely carried. Their retreat was followed up in force and they beiran to assume signs of a precipitate rout. Officers from the front believe that the Germans will be unable to retreat along the lines of their advance and will be forced to go by way of Luxemburg.
