England Demands 100000 Men.


London.--"Gr Britain needs g.
100000 more men by spring"
This declaration was made Monday
by Brigadler-General Sir Erick
Swayne, director of recruiting In the
northern command, in speech at
Hull.
General Swayne estimated that Ger
many still has between 100000 and
100000 men from the ages of Is to
45, and that, therefore, 1t was useless
to talk about wearing out Germany.
In the spring, said he, Germany would
lose more men than the allies, which
would balance the numbers Of the al
lies and the central powers, but If
Great Britain should raise 5000, 1000 ad-
ditional men, Germany probably would
recognize that 1t would be fruitless to
continue.
