Preceding his infantry attack by a.
tremendous hail of shells from thou-j

ONLY BOYS LEFT
IN GERMANY NOW
Youths. of II Being Examined
for the Army,

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
Germany's reserve Of mature men now
ha, been completely exharssed and her
ranks are being filled with boys Of 10
and Is years, and boys OF u nov are
under examination. Each month the
average age OF the soldiers at the front
lowers, and the end Of the war~likely
will see very few men at the front mo,e
than 3 years old.
The German infantry at the present
time consists close to 70 percent Of the
~classe. OF 1915 to 1919. The classes Of
1915 and 1916. both OF which arc rapidly
dwindling, furniah Is percent OF the
Infantry in the fighting lines. The
class Of 1917, which 10 now e~ntirel,
under the colors, furnishes another Il
to Is percent, whik the class, of 1918
which is now arriving on the front IN
large numbers, furnishes another 5 "a
10 percent.
Class Of 1919 Now Drilling.
The remainder Of this class, which ~
still in the dcpots, constitutes prac-
tioally the only, reserves which Ger
many has left. To meet this -emerr
gency. the class Of 1919 is now under
instruction, while the class Of 1920 Ms
already been examined for conscrip-
tibn,
The military age in Germany is 70
years. In the case Of the class OF 1915,
Il wa. not called 10 the colors until
April Of that year, or At the age, theo-
retically. Of 70 years and 4 months, The

Rushed Quickly to the Front.
The pressure under WHICH Germany
has been forced to employ these boy
soldiers also is indicated by their pc
RODS Of instruction. The class OF 1915
was thrown into the battle front with
| only two or three months OF iustruc-
ton, but with such terrible losses
caused BY this inexperience, that even
Germany was forced to recognize that
il was the costliest economy.
The classes Of 1916 and 1917 were
given an instruction ranging from nine
to ten months. While this gave better
results, yet by the time the class Of
1918 was called to the colors Germany
was again in such straits for men thu,
the hoy, Of this class were brought onto
the front again with only three months
OF instruction. The accuracy OF the
above figures is confirmed in every cap
ture Of prisoners large enough TO make
