What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

GUnited Press Leased Wire Service.1
NEW YORK, Nov. 30. III a. M
The fourth month of Europe's war ends
today with Field Marshal Sir John
French admitting that the allied
troops In France and Belgium are out
numbered 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 individual units Of
England's evolutionary army.
The British commander in chief
takes his nation and the world into
his confidence, despite the early
martinez rules laid down by Lord
Kitchener, and confesses that from
the commencement Of the war to the
present time it has been impossible
for the allies to continue sustained
offensive because they have had less
men than the Germans. Only tactical
errors by the Germans have given
the allies the two positive offensive
victories they have secured-the bat
tie Of the Marne and the battle OF St.
Omer and Hazebrouck. This latter
fight was the result of the German
drive thirty-five miles west of Lille,
which carried them within twenty-five
miles of Calais. The arrival Of the
English from the Afsne forced the
Germans to retreat the whole of the
thirty-fve miles back to Lille.
Sir John French's declaration that
the Germans outnumbered the allies
and that an offensive campaign has
been impossible must be accepted as
positive fact, not as an excuse put
forward to explain away the paucity
of allied victories. An official Paris
report last week made the same con-
fession. In this latter statement the
Germans were credited with having
fifty army corps in the western battle
area. which probably totals two mil
lion men.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-11-30

A revision OF credit for the deeds
OF the first four months of the war is
therefore necessary. The Germans
superiority of equipment over the al
lies. Lack of equipment undoubtedly
is the principal cause why the allies
have been unable to oppose superior
numbers to the Germans 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 bet
ter men. But it is the inevitabl,s con.
clusion to Sir John Frenchs report
that the Germans have not shown a
man to man superiority in the field.
Hitherto the world has believed the
Germans were operating with inferior
numbers and were holding fast by
sheer military skill to the French and
Belgian territory. 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 be the criticisms d.
rected against France and England
for being unable to outnumber the
divided German armies after four
months of fighting, the fault is not
military one. but must be laid at the
doors of peace politicians who would
not provide the machinery in advance.
Germany has no superiority in mill
tary field genius over the allies. So
much is proven by the long delayed
Acknowledgement that never have the
western allies been equal to the Ger
mans in numbers. Sir John French ex-
presses the opinion that the present
battle is now coming to a close. This
may be his way of estimating that the
allies soon will have more men on the
firing line than the Germans.

ARBITRATION BOARD

Will Hear Controversy Between $1,000
Employees and the West

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service I
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Arbitration of
the controversy between $4,000 rail-
way engineers, firemen and trainmen
and ninety-eight western railways
which in October 1913, threatened to
result in general strike, began In
the federal building here today before
an arbitration board selected under
the Nawlands act.

| Since we knew that the present
war was to be forced on us, 1t became
our highest duty to anticipate the
struggle by every necessary and pos
sible preparation for the defense OF

which our enemies have for years
been carefully and steadily welding
about us. The fact that we foresaw
and SO far as possible forestalled the
attempt to crush us within this ring
