published comparison, in which he
said: " France, with all her military
expenditure, would not be aOle to bring
200 1000 men into line upon the frontier,
while upon the line of the Rhine alone
100000 men could be collected against
her in less than a fortnight This
proved to be very nearly the case in the
present war. In q fortnight's time the
Germans had about 800, 900 men on the
Rhine, and to these France opposed
about 100000.
