SYLVESTER DENIES
He PLANS TO QUIT
Head of Police Department
Brands as Untrue Report
That He Will Resign.

81 have not resigned and have no
intention OF resigning."
Such was the emphatic statement
made today by Major Richard syIves-
ter. superintendent OF police. when
asked regarding persistent rumors
that he would quit the Police Depart
ment on December 1.
A denial that there was any founda-
ton for the report OF Major Sylves-
ter's resignation was made also by
Commissioner Siddons, who has gem
eral supervision Of the Police Depart
ment
Returning last week from a trtp TO
Utica, n. Y, where he went for his
health, Major sylvester did not take up
his usual duties at the department. be-
ing at headquarters only a short time
each day. Inspector Boardman. the as
sistant superintendent was actively in
charge OF the department and signed all
papers. This led to a revival of the
rumor started some time before the
major went to Utica that he had re-
signed.
1t was explained today that Major
Sylvester's health has been such that
he has not felt able to peY-1rr his
usual duties. and that It was, upon ad-
vice OF one OF the police surgeons. that
he put Inspector Boardman temporarily
in charge.
However, the major was at his des,, At
the usual hour this morning and IN
spector Boardman returned to the De
tective Bureau, of which he is chief.
1t Is known that the rumors of Major
Sylvester's retirement have been mos.
distasteful to him, and at first he de-
clined to comment on them, saying that
he would not dignity such ridiculou, re-
ports by discussing them. Later the
rumors became so persistent andl in
quiries were so numerous as to whether
there was any foundation for them,
that Commissioner Siddons felt II in
cumbent upon himself to issue an Of
fetal denial of the r1mors the day the
major went to Utica on a trip for his
health.
IT don't understand where such re-
ports come from." said the major today.
81 have not talked about this matter
with any one except to deny that there
was any truth I'm the reports"
The rumor that was most widely cir
culated was that Major Sylvester was
to resign to become head OF big in
surance company which planned to
specialize in police and firemen's in
surance.

known police officials IN the world

partments IN many foreign countries.

total 100000 men.
A revision of credit for the deeds
of the first four months of the war
is. therefore. necessary. The Ger
mans have proved themselves to pos
sess superiority of equipment over
the allies. Lack of equipment I'M
doubtedly is the principal cause why
the allies have been unable TO OPP
pose superior numbers to the Ger
mans, whose own army is divided
between east and west. Not only IN
preparedness before the war began.
but in productivity since hostilities
started, the Germans have shown
themselves to be the better men.
But it is the inevitable conclusion
to Sir John French's report that the
Germans have not shown man-to-
man superiority IN the field. Hith-
erto the world has believed the Ger
mans were operating with inferior
numbers. and were holding fast to
the French and Belgian territory by
sheer military skill. This. however.
seems not to be the case. The Ger
mans, themselves, have possessed
the larger armies, and It is the
French, British, and Belgians who
have been clinging desperately to
their positions with smaller forces.
Whatever may De lno CTlIClsAhs

land for being unable to outnumber
the divided German armies after
four months OF fighting. the fault
is not O military one. but must be
laid at the door of peace politicians,
who wouldn't provide the machinery
in advance Germany has no super
iority in field genius over the allies.
So much is proved by the long de-
Iayed acknowledgment that never
have the western allies been equal TO
the Germans in numbers. Sir John
French expresses the opinion that
the present battle is now coming to
a close. This may be his way of
intimatinE that the allies soon will
have more men on the firing line
than the Germans.

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-The fourth
month of Europe's war ends to-
day with Field Marshal Sir John
French admitting that the allied
troops in France and Belgium are
outnumbered by the Germans. This
is the most significant statement
that has been made in any of the
British reports, which now for the
first time seek to allay criticism at
home by giving credit to the in
dividual units OF England's expe-
dictionary army. The British COM
mander-in-chief takes his nation
and the world into his confidence,
despite the early marinet rules
laid down by Lord Kitchener, and
confesses that from the commence
ment of the war to the present
time, II has been impossible for
the allies to continue a sustained
offensive because they have had
less men than the Germans. Only
tactical errors by the Germans
have given the allies the two posi-
tive offensive victories they have
secured, the battle of the Marine
and the battle Of st. Omer and
Hazebrouk. This latter fight was
the result of the German drive
thirty-five miles west of Lille,
which carried them within twenty
two miles of Calais. The arrival
OF the English from the Aisne
forced the Germans TO retreat the
whole of the thirty-five miles back
to Lille.
Sir John French's declaration that
the Germans outnumber the allies
and that an offensive campaign has
been impossible, must be accepted as
a positive fact. not as an excuse
put forward to explain away the
paucity OF allies victories. An Of
ficial Paris report last week made
the came confession. In this latter
item, the Germans were credited
with having fifty army corps in the
