GERMANY'S HEAVY LOSSES.

COMPANIES REDUCED FROM 120 TO 70. London, Sunday. An eye-witness with the British headquarters says that the Germans are apparently using pumps, electrically worked, at Lille, to drain the trenches. I'hey attempted to flood our trenches, buc failed. The Scheldt and the Lya have overflowed, flooding whole districts in Southern Belgium. Saxon and Bavarian prisoners frequently abuse their Prussian ' comrades, and the Saxons express the hope that the British will shell the Ssxon trenches taken over by Prussians.

Typhoid continues in the enemy's ranks, and many cases are now in Belgian hospitals. Tha German losses have been very heavy, and in the last few weeks the average strength of a company has been reduced from 120 to 70.
