TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. OCTOBER 20.
LOSS IS AWFUL
Russian Casualties Estimated
at 40,000.
T okio , Oct. 16.—In the reports of the .
great battle which continue to arrive
from the front the moat striking feature
is the terrible record of Russian dead. 1
Before the severe fighting October 14,
General Oku'» army alone recovered and
buried 2000, making the total number
of Russians buried by the Japanese,
with Nodzu’s army still to bear from,
6509. Applying the usual calculation
and making reasonable allowance for
the fighting of the 14th and 15th, the
Russian losses will exceed 40.000.
Fragmentary reports of Japanese cas­
ualties are coming in. General Oku, up
to and including October 14, lost 3500
men. Estimates of the total Japanese
losses are not possible, but they arc
small in comparison with the frightful
losses of the Russians.
