NUMERICAL STRENGTH
 OF ARMIES COMP AIRED

PARIS, Nov. 1.-(by mail to escape censor) The French army consists not of S,00O.O00 men, but double that number or these 6,000,000, half of them have been under Ire; S,o0o,- O0O, have not left their garrlsons. Few in France realized that Gen. loire holds this tremendous army in re. serve. Every man of this S,0OOO0O IS under 30, and fully trained and ade' quateiy equipped for battle, ready to march at moments notice. oppos- ed to the French, the 100000 that have been under fire, are not l,oOO,- GOO Germans. but 25OO,0O0-not 30 army corps, but 56.
 With 5OO,OO0 British troops and in the neighborhood of 100000 Belgians, the allies have on the wetefn iront 960O.000 men, against 2,500,0OO Ger mans. Owing to Gen. Joifre's careful nursing Of the troops. the forces ac- tually on the firing line are roughly equal Of the French S,OO0,0OO, half are doing the fighting; the other hali relieve them in the trenches and i'll the gops caused by the casualties. The forces are stretched over a battieiront which now reaches 375 miles.
 About 100000 French troops lie between the Argonne and Alsace. or this number the army operating in the Verdun district totals 100000. In AL saco, there are 25O,OOO The remainder are in the lower Nosges passes and at various points along the Mouse, The iong line from Rheims to Arra5 by way of soissons and Rove absorbs most of the balance of 100000, and the full 8.OOO,OOO are accounted for when it stated that the French troops are also cooperating with thc Brit ish around LaBasse, Armentieres, and Ypres.
 The 6,OOO.OOO strength of the French army Is arrived at as follows: The active army includes three classes un- der Che flag of l500,O00. With these 20 the reserve in the active army that is, men of the four preceding classes, or 2.OOO,OOO This gives s,5oO,o0O all under 2S. In addition are the first class of territorials (under S0) 5OO,- GOO; and the remaining 100000 are made up of 1914 and 1915 classes al- ready under the colors (about LO0O,- O0O) colonial troops, Algerians, Nor oceans, Senagalese, foreign volunteer corps lover 100000 aud the Foreign Legion.
 These 6,0O0OOO could be expanded to s,000000 by Q general cell to arms as was resorted to for the revolution ary wars in l79S. The additional 2,- 50O,0OO would be made up oi territor- IiaIs, between 30 and 45. The question lstill remains: Why did Cen. Joiire' with his tremendous resources in men allow the Germons to sweep across Belgium and down to che gates ot Paris?
 Briefly stated tho answer is that upon the outbreak of the var the French concentrated mainly on the East. leaving the northern forts of Maubeuge, Lille, Leon LaFere and Rheims lnefficiently manned When the Belgian army delayed the German army at Liege. Gen. Joiire took ad'
 vantage of this respite and moved an l army 10 the valley of the Mouse and the Belgian frontier He struck out under unfavorable conditions.

Then the storm passed over them and killed the last one, Stabbed clear through and through with bayonets, the German soldiers lay against the embanhments in a row Bent bayon- cts and broken rifles spoke Of the violence of the encounter
 aThe first in the row was the ser geant who had left part of the small force. it seemed that even in death he s0ll uttered commands. Another group of dead lay about the body of the officer who had heen in com mand. The similarity Of expression on the faces or the dead was striking.
