THE vALAROUs GERMANS.

According to a French statement
Germany at present has at her dis
posal 2515 active army corps of which
2115 are operating against France
and four against Russia. or the 80
German reserve army corps, 2212 are
now employed against France and
101a against Russia.
This makes it appear that not only
the greater number, but the best OF
the German troops are in the west
ern armies, and means that the Ger
mans have a higher respect for
French and English military effic-
iency than they have for that of the
Musoyite opponents.
Almost the entire strength of Aus
tria Hungary is combating the Rus
sian advance, and for that reason
fewer German troops have been need
ed in the east than in the west, where
Great Britain, France and Belgium
are combined and British reinforce
ments are being steadily carried to
the front. But the German troops in
the east are surely not bad soldiers.
The recent masterful coup of the
Germans in Poland, by which they
escaped from the Russian enyelop-
ment near LODI, proved their evident
superiority in both courage and STRAIT
egy to their assailants The Berlin

The German troops turned from

brought with them 1000 prisoners,
as well as twenty-five guns, and
