Critic Says This Is Why
Forces in France Had to be
Sent to Russia
HAD NOT EQUIPMENT
FOR MORE RESERVES
Capture Of Liege With Its
Facilities for Making War
Supplies Delayed This
(By ]. w. T. Mason, former London
correspondent for United Press.)

New York, Dec. S.-Official con.
firmation was forthcoming today Of
this columns recent surmise that the
Germans had been withdrawing troops
from France and Belgium for operations
against Russia.
The PetrOgrad war office estimates
that six army corps and five cavalry
divisions, which would be total Of
about 100000 men, have been added to
the German strength in Russian Poland
in the past fortnight. The Slay version
was that part of these troops were from
the western theatre of war and that
part were new levies. The proportions
were not stated, however.
The gains the allies are now making
in northern France and northwestern
Belgium, following their long weeks of
slow retirement, undoubtedly mean a
very considerable diminution in the
German strength in that zone OF the
100000 reinfOrcements sent to Poland
probably halt at least, and possibly
more than that, were withdrawn from
the west.
Whether these seasoned veterans can
be returned to France and Belgium is a
crucial problem for the kaiser.
AT any rate, it is plain that he has
reached the end of his supply Of arms.
He undoubtedly has more men but he
cannot have weapons for more than he
has already in the field; otherwise IL
would not be necessary for him to shift
his troops from frontier to frontier
since more satisfactory course, from
his standpoint, were it open to him
would be to strengthen his force in the
field by the calling of fresh men tC
the colors.
1t is clear that four months of de
yastating warfare have exhausted even
Germany's great preparations. I'm
doubtedly this limit would have beer
reached before had not Liege fallen in
to Teutonic hands.
This city is one Of the world $ great
est centers for the manufacture Of wal
supplies. Not only is it Belgium s Es
sen but 1t also produces munitions foi
many Of the other smaller European
countries,
Unquestionably, as soon as the Ger
mans took it, they set all its furnaces
and forges going to the limit of theii
capacities. The supplies thus turneC
out must have formed n splendid sup
plement to the Krupp factories outpu
and the wars wdstage
1t begins to appear at last that Ger
many is approaching a critical periot
Of its double campaign,
Hitherto the tactics Of Frederick tn
Great, who held Europe at bay by quicl
concentrations against isolated division
Of his enemies, have been followed b,
the German general staff, This method
however, IS growing more and NOR
dangerous to the kaiser, as his foes
strength increases.
For the first time since the wa
broke out the Teutonc race back an,
forth from east to west or from west Il
east, is beginning to make the troop
punt.
