Final Loss 800, 600.

''These different documents, says
the review, show that by the middle
of January the German losses on the
two fronts were 100000 men. These
figures are, certainly less than the
reality, because, for one reason, the
sick are not comprised, and for an
other, the losses in the last battle in
Poland are not included. Let us ac-
cept them, however, and that out of
this l SOC, 900, 100000, the normal pro-
portion, have been able to rejoin their
regiments. Thus the final loss for
/ five months of the campaign has been

known at the beginning of January
represented in round numbers 4,000,-

reports on German recruiting, the en-

amount to 9,000,000 But from those
have to be deducted men employed on

Paris. March 27-(Correspondence
to the Associated Press.) - further
instalment of the French official review
Of the first six months of the war on
the western front, made public today,
after discussing the present situation
of the French army rs regards artil-
lery, ammunition, food supply and
transport service, takes up the condi-
ton Of the German army. An csti
mate IS made Of the total German milf
tarv strength, the German losses dur
ing the first six months, the probable
number of troops now on the firing
line, and the probable number of re-
serves on which Germany still can
draw
After estimating the total casualties
of the Germans, on both fronts, at
more than 100000 men, and their
present numerical strength at 4,000,-
600. the review goes on to calculate
that Germany has now only 2,000,0 600
more available men, all told, to fill the
gaps in her lines, and that all these are
pract callv unframed. From this it is
deduced that at the present rate of her
losses, within ten months Germany will
have reached the limit of her human
resources.
Under the heading The German
Effort, the review examines into the
probable numbers Germany threw
into the field at the outset of the
campaign.

German Numbers at Outset.

1.-THE military effort of Germany, at
the outset of the campaign, exceeded
all anticipations, = is the frank open
ing statement of this chapter, - Her
design was to crush the French army
in few weeks under a tremendous
mass of troops. Nothing was neglect
ed TO bring that mass together.
THE number of German army corps
in time of peace is .. When war began
the German general staff put in the
field in the two theaters of operations:
Cd As fighting troops (active, reserve,
Ersatz or Landwehr), 81 corps. CD The
second line, guarding communications
and occupied territory, was drawn from
the very outset from the Landstrum.
'sIn October six and one-half new
corps, plus one division of sailors, or
seven corps in all appeared on the
scene. In December another division
of sailors was sent forward. In Jan
Iuary, 1915, therefor, the fighting Ger
man army consisted Of 60 army corps
Cor about 100000 mem, divided as
follows: Twenty-Five and one-half ac-
tive corps (about 100000 men); 2l12
reserve corps 100000 mem; six and
one-half Ersatz brigades (15,000 men)
seven and one-half reserve army corps
of new formation 100000 men) /;
eight and one-haIf corps Of Landwehr
$4,000 men).
The report then details briefly the
| history of the first few months Of the
war, up to and including the battle OF
| Flanders, which. it is declared marked
the hioh-water mark of the German eff
| fort, and engaged 80 armed corps out
of 90 in the field, in a desperate effort
to establish mastery in the western
campaign that would permit the whole
sale moving of troops to Poland to
meet the Russians. The battle OF
Flanders, it declared, was a marked
defeat for Germany, and resulted IN
the loss of the initiative to the allies
Under the heading Wastage OF
German Electives, the report goes
on to compile numerical estimate OF
the German numbers and losses, based
| it is explained, on the official lists Oh
losses published by the general staff
and on notebooks and letters found or
German dead and prisoners.
