CAPTURED
SINCE JULY 1 PLACED
Of The 112,000 Prisoners
Taken Americans Captur
ed 20,000 to 25,000.
By Cart J. Groat,
(l'nitel Pres staff correspondent)
Washington, Aug, 29. Twenty thous
atitl to twenty five thousand German
orisoncrs constitute America's Dortiuu
of the great allied haul of 112,000 since
July 1.
These figures are based on careful
cstiuiatea of important war department
official today. The last official fig
ures on American totals were 17,000
towar.ss the end of the JSoissous-Eheiina
struggle. After that time several size
atile bags were made. And. the Amer
icans have continued to take prisoners
ever since the main fighting died down.
What . ratio the prisoners bear to
the dead and wounded is somewhat
doubtful- One high official estimated
to the United Press that the Teuton
dead and wounded certainly run more
than three times the captures.
On the whole there is an inclination to
believe that the Herman casualties, in
cluding prisoners, run half million
or more since July 1.
Germany was reported in March
ready to sacrifice a million or more
men to accomplish her aims. The Ger
man morale now is at a lower ebb than
ever. Officers Ray this in proved by the
increasingly large number of prisoners
the British have taken.
Many o these have shown a re
markable willingness to be taken.
Whether some plan will be made fur
bringing German prisoners to America
is a subject war aepanmeni nuicigis
decline to disciifs. It is known, how
ever, that the matter has been und
serious discussion.

The military investigation is

matter may pass into the realm
of the diplomatic.
" Entirety satisfactory ad

of the northwest. This was the tuno
when Suleiu and Million county had a
