London-"Great Britain needs g.
100000 more men by spring"
This declaration was made Monday
by Brigadier-General Sir Erick
Swayne. director OF recruiting in the
northern command, in a speech at
Hull.
General Swayne estimated that Ger
many still has between 5000, 900 and
10000, 900 men from the ages of Is to
As, 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 II
Great Britain should raise 5000, 900 ad-
ditional men, Germany probably would
recognize that it would be fruitless to
continue.
