Cal economy In the UDiver-
atty Of chieaso.)
In the previous papers we came
to the conclusion that the only ex.
haustion which may stop the war
is direct lack OF men for the
armies and of munitions OF all kinds
demanded by modern warfare. In a
desperate struggle for existence
fighting can go on without much re-
gard TO economic or financial ex-
haustion, provided II does not cut
off men and war supplies for the
lighting lines. Assuming no other
motives FOR making peace but ex.
haustior, the end depends on the
supply uf men and munitions.
In tho first months OF the war the
Germans were obviously superior to
he allies In all kinds OF equipment,
especially In artillery. Time, how
ever. has been given to the allies
to rise to equality, II not TO superb
GRITTY. in these matters. as has APP
peared from the British French
drive OF last September, the Rus
sian DIVE of January, 1916, and
he defense OF Verdun.
Which side Is likely first TO run
short OF war supplies? The re-
sources Of the allies are unllpited
In this respect, since the markets
OF the world are open to them.
apart frUm men, the length OF the
war, therefore. really depends more
on the ability OF the central EN-
pires to provide materials out OF
which ammunition, explosives, artil.
lery. transportation, and the like
can be continuously produced. They
have capital and labor to bring to
bear, but have they enough raw ma
terials' No ono here knows the
exact situation, yet some facts are
obvious.

year OF the war; but. as we have

The figures are given TOT only
he principal belligerents. The
forces brought into the field by Bull
garia arj Turkey may be roughly
Offset ny tho;e Of the French and
British colonNs, such as northern
Africa, Canada, New Zealand. Aus
tralia, and India. Moreover, for
military purposes at any given
time, the wounded are included un-
der losses, even though large per-
centage are again returned to the
front (reported to be over 80 per
cent bv the Germans. and over 60
per cent by the French, because
during continuous warfare II may be
assumed thai as many new wound
ed are leaving the front as those
who are returning to the front.
British and French Fighters.
In the case OF Great Britain, she
certainly had at least 100000 in
the field by August, 1915, in spite
of losses Anticipating heavier
losses in the coming months. II is
possible that the casualties during
the second year may be double
these OF the first year. 1t Is within
the truth 10 say that out OF Lord
Derby's enlistment of nearly 3,000,-
900 and from the CONSUMPTION at
least 100000 men will have been
added by August, 1915. The esti-
mate OF 400 900 troops available al
the beginning of the third year is
doubtless too low.
France called all her men to the
colors ~ the beginning OF the war,
fully 10 per cent of her population.
Her losses the first year were
heavy. After the bloody battles OF
verdun we may assume losses dur
ing the second year ms great as
during the first She has recently
called the class of 1917. which may
add 250,0c0. Consequently she may
enter the third year with at least
1,4JO.000 The Germans estimate
French losses TO March /. 1916, as
6O0.000 dead. 100000 wounded, and
100000 missing. Our figures are
not quite 60 large. The French hos
pital reports give S.5 per cent Of
the wounded as dead, and Is per
cent incapacitated; while 54.5 per
cent are returned Immediately to
he front. 245 per cent on leave, and
y per cent in hospital.
Russia is an uncertain element In
the table. And yet the large gen.
eral facts affecting the duration OF
the war are plain. BY the rule that
10 per cent OF the total popu-
;ation can be put into the field
(Which Yields 100000 for Ger
many, 100000 for Austria-Hun-
gary. and 100000 for France). Rus
STA shorld have 100000 soldiers.
Her lack OF organization, want OF
equipment and more or less graft
enabled her TO put In only about
100000 men in the first year. Her
losces the first year. especially In
prisoners. were very great. She
probably did not have 100000
troops ~ August. 1915, and her sup
plies o, ammunition were running
short. LAST summer men were pro
