German mobilization, which had theii Justification in view of a prompt vic tory, were calculated to become ex- tremely perilous from the moment that that victory failed to be gained.
 From that moment, in fact Germany lost the initiative and the direction of the war. And furthermore, she was con demned to suffer the counter effects of the enormous and precipitate efforts which she had made in vain. From the point of view of her effectives and her regimental cadres (basic organization she had undergone a wastage which her adversaries on the other hand had been able to save themselves. She had Tn the words of the proverb put all her eggs in one basket and in spite of her large popula ton she could no longer owing to the immediate and sterile abuse which she had made of her resources, pretend to regain the superiority of numbers.
 Facing Both Fronts
 ''She was reduced to facing as best she could on both war fronts the unceasingly increasing forces of the allies. She had attained the maximum of tension and had secured a minimum of results. She had thus landed herself in difficulty which will henceforth go on increasing and which is made clear when the wastage which her army has suffered is closely studied
 Chapter two of this section of the re- view says:
 "The wastages of effectives is easy to establish
 we have for the purpose two sources,'' it continues, 'the official lists of losses published by the German general staff and the note books. letters and archives of soldiers and officers killed and taken prisoners. These different documents show that by the middle of January the German losses on the two fronts were 1,S0000O men.
 These figures are certainly less than the reality because for one thing the sick are not comprised and for another the losses in the last battle in Poland are not included. Let us accept them, how ever: let us accept also that out of these 1,S00,0o0 men, 100000 this is the nor maj proportion-have been able to rejoin after being cured.'
 Thus the final loss for five months of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-04-07

the campaign has been 1,300.0oO men, or 2G0000 men per month. These figures agree exactly with what can be ascer- taned when the varia tions of effectives in certain regiments are examineo.
 'It is certain that the majority of the German regiments have had to be com pletey renewed. What then is the situa- tion created by these losses.
 This question is answered by state ment headed German Troops Available for 1915
 "The total of German formatio known at the beginning of January, states rne review, represented in round numbers 4,00O0o0 men. According to the official re- ports on German recruiting the entire resources of Germany in men amount to 9,0O00O0 But from these 5000 000 have to be deducted men employed on railways, in the police. and in certain administra- tions and industries, altogether 500.0o0 men. The total resources available for the war were, therefore, S,500000. Out of these about one half, say 100000. are now at the front. The definite losses represent at least 1300,000 men. The available re- sources amounted then at the beginning of January to 3,200000 men.
 Mostly Untrained
 "Of what are these resources com posed? Chiefly of men who were un- trained in time of peace, the trained re- servists having almost all left the depots for the front. It has, however, to pc noted that out of these 3.200,000 men there are. according to the statistics S00,000 who are more than 39 years of age and are, therefore, of only one mediocre military value. Thus there remain ?, 100000 Final ly the category of the untrained in peace comprises, according to the estimates of German military authorities themselves. one quarter of inefficients.
 The really available resources capable of campaigning are, therefore, Just 2,000.- GOO. These men, comprising the 1915, 1916 and 1917 classes, called out in anticipation, constitute-and this point cannot be too strongly insisted upon--the total of avail able resources for the operations dur ing the F months of 1915. As 10 what the military value of these troops will be- considering the haste with which they have been trained, the formidable losses

other property than the clothes they wear.
 Children with expressions of bewilder- ment trudge along by the side of theii parents.
 The war pictures are obtained by sev- eral daring motion picture photographers with the various armies.
 The films show in detail the hardships of soldiers at the front, in the trenches and on the firing line. Whole columns of soldiers of both the allied forces and the Germany army are seen marching to meet in battle. One hundred and sixty Belgian lancers are pictured going forth bravely to attack the enemy. Of this number but 3S returned.
 Perhaps the most thrilling incident pre- sented is a duel between opposing s0rces for the control of a canal in Belgium. The infantry of the allies is seen repuIs- ing German attack from across the canal the firing of each side being plain ly discernable.
 Another scene depicts the Germans rushing across a long stone bridge under the fire of the enemy.
 The pictures are pronounced the best ever taken of the war for public exhibi- ton. They show real warfare and it's effect on life and property. Both sides are presented impartially.

Mines CONTEST
OWNERSHIP Of
STAR CATCHER

Business of the s. A. L tonight at
the Y NJ C. A. will consist in the
getting the full list of players of the
clubs as well as those belonging to
the league.
1t is probable that assigning of un-
attached players belonging to the
league and on the reserve list and
which teams they will be placed with
will come up for discussion. Two of
last years Wayne Works team, Bailey
and Cracraft. are wanted by the A. S.
M. management but are also wanted
just as much by every team in the
league. Whoever bets them will have
to put up pretty strong and convinc-
ing argument as to why they should
get their services. Cracraft worked
the last two games for the Seeders
last year and it was during these
games that Ulrich grew sweet on the
formed w. w. bssckstopper.
Bailey is easily worth any teams
trouble in getting him signed if only
for his pitching ability but he can hit
much better than most Of the outfield-
ers in the league
1t is the plan Of the s. A. L. to stage
more Sunday games this season with
out-of-town teams on the same plan
IS the Muncie game last summer.
