When south of Landskrona, 16 miles north-east of Copenhagen, the Thelma was pursued by the German destroyer W132 into Swedish territorial waters. While the Germans were in the act of boarding the steamer, the Polux forced them to return to their boat, and, running between the two vessels, informed the Germans that every means would be employed to prevent the Thelma from being taken.

These losses were probably suffered at Loos and Tahuro. The Landsturm generally kept behind the firing line; yet they show heavy losses caused by illness.

It will be {recalled that at the beginning of No- I vemlier the Prussian losses alone were 'estimated at slightly over two mil- lion. A despatch from London says: The appalling extent of the German losses is revealed by a perusal of the oitieitsl ‘casualty list issued daily by the Gov- gcrnment for the information of fami- lies, although newspapers are pro- lhibited from reproducing it. The list for October 23rd alone gives 10,000 casualties. The Prussian list includes nine regiments of the Guard, eighty regiments of Grena- diers and Fusiliers of the regular in- fantry, 31 regiments of reserves, and 21 of the Landweherand many from the field artillery. The outstanding facts in these lists are the enormous gaps in certain regi- ments, and the frequency with which entire battalions are wiped out, the remarkable small proportion of offi- cers lost and the great number. of volunteers killed.

In Great Britain, the prosper- ity of industrial districts continues, but bankers feel that excessive ex- penditures and borrowing must spell intution.

Thus. on the present scale, the cost for another year would be £6,570,- Estimated That It Amounts to Sun of '6,M0,000,006 . Week. The Economist estimates the cost of the war at about 2P26,000,000 weekly ($6,000,000,000), or Slr40,000,000 (52.. 700,000,000) monthly. For the six chief belligerents the daily cost is as follows: . During the first half of the year excessive ftoodtt inundated all the country in which operations were taking place. An amphibious sort of warfare was the result. where tsol- diers of the British and Indian armies and sailors of the Royal Navy met one another half way. The export of dates to Europe and America is the chief source of wealth on the lower stretches of the river. Profits are large, and as the dates need little care or cultivation, and a sufficient livelihood is easily come by, a more than ordinary dislike of work characterizes the inhabitants of this part of the country. and an independence which is rarely to be met with in other highly populated countries of the East. Grain and Dates. The production of grain, where every essential for its successful pro- duction exists, was discouraged by strangling taxation. and the frequent action of the Turkish Government in placing an embargo on export did not tend to encourage trade in grain or in any other commodity. 1 Trade in this country of infinite possibilities has taltered for many years under the oppressive rule of the Turk. Revenue to the (lovem- ment was often assessed at half the produce of the land, and the only saving clause was that some of the more powerful landowners were ac- customed to refuse to pay revenue at all. Mu, the Turkish Government had their own methods of jogging the memories of the recalcitrant, and there are few Sheikhs or large land- owners who have not served terms of imprisonment in Constantinople, varying in length from two to twenty years. for arrears of revenue, often contracted by their predecessors. Mesopotamia boasts a record vari- ation of temperature during the year. Bitter cold and damp in winter and intense and malarious heat in sum- mer have added enormously to the difrieulties of the operations. The first of these actions was a land fight, such a one as takes place daily in Flanders. The second, over identically the same ground, After the floods had risen, a naval action in which-tships of the Royal Navy were able to participate. Is It the Golden? The third class who resisted the British occupation ore the warlike Arab tribesmen of the country. This year two important actions have been fought on the supposed site of the Garden of Eden. Nothing will shake the local conviction that in Kurtis, at the. junction of the Tigris and the Euphrates, Mesopotamia possesses the original Garden of Eden, though units of the garrison who occupied its defences during the torrid months of May and June express doubts on its authenticity. The troops who have opposed the British advance are in the main Turkish regulars, and in these are included several of the Constanti- nople regiments who were despatch- ed to the southern campaign before Constantinople was threatened br.the allies. The Turkish regulars were loyally and ably assisted by Arab and Kurd levies; for Turkey, even in her most distant Provinces, enforced uni- versal military service. As might be expected among an Eastern nation, this law was openly manipulated to the advantage of local Governors. The fee for avoiding military service was as high as £5 Turkish, just be- fore the British occupation, levied in- discriminately on Mohammedans. Jews, Christians, and Chaldeans. In practice this system led to a not un- successful result, ensuring to the local Governors a goodly flow of cash and to the colors sturdy country youths who could not afford to pay so high a price.
