II can be (stated on an undisputable
authority That reports circulated recently
that Frafce had already put practically
It's whole fighting force in the field. are
wholly incorrect.
Behind the army which now holds the
long battle line there are new armies
which General Joffre will doubtless bring
into play at what he judges the psy-
chological moment.
Army Was Unprepared.
II Is now generally admitted that the
French we're not prepared when the war
broke out; that the troops had not suffl-
Client clothing and that the artillery was
not as complete as the friends OF France
hoped II would be- The mobilization in
consequence was seriously delayed
Nearly four months, however have
passed, and during that time an excep-
tionally capable ministry has been exert
ing itself to the utmost TO put things
right and to complete mobilization.
Deficiency Made Up.
There are grodnds Tor believing that,
although the supply OF boots and clothing
Is not even yet quite what II ought to
be. the deficiency has lsrgely been made
good and the French mobilization Ia now
nearing completion.
II follows that for some time to come
the French viii be growing more and
more efficient, while II is believed that
the efficiency OF the German fighting
machine will proportionotely decline.
