DMIRAL SAMPSON IS SUNK BY BIG GPR. STEAMER

LEVY ON BRABANT--OVERSEAS ARMY IS OVER 100,000

War Situation To-day

Some details of the big battle in southwestern Belgium are now
coming through and while the British losses come with a terrible
reality of the awfuiness of the slaughter, they are not as heavy as it
was at first feared. Field Marshall French gives an estimate of 2,000,
and the British have never minimized their losses so that the figure
lean be taken with some assurance of accuracy. This represents
| probably only two per cent of the British troops engaged. The
| French losses were probably equal or even more and undoubtedly the
Germans did not escape without a tremendous casualty list.
The capturing of 10,000 French prisoners reported from German
sources through Washington, must not be accepted as fact until some
oificial announcement comes from Paris. There is nothing yet to
indicaté the truth of it.

The commanders in charge of the campaign do not consider
Sunday's battle a decisive one, and judging from the fact that the
French are withdrawing troops from the Alsace campaign to put into
| the battlefield along the Meuse: the Germans have a terrible struggle
| ahead of them.
| Russia appears to be getting busy on the north and claims to

ave the enemy cornered in East Prussia. !

Austria has declared war on Japan. She appears to be wielding
her pen better than her sword.

in the Mediterranean and on the Yellow Sea the Allies are clear-
ing out the common foe.

The Overseas contingent in support of Great Britain will make
up an army of considerably over 100,000 men, a great fighting force
in itself. The first of them will be at the front in a few weeks.
