MORE men NEEDED
TO FIGHT, HE SAYS
British Expert Insists Allies
Can Win War Only by Over
WheIming Numbers.


LONDON. January 15.-The Times
military correspondent maintains that
the prolongation of the war. "as the
result Of the foredoomed failure of the
peace move" throws upon all the allies
the duty of making greater efforts in
order to deserve victory. He says that
Germany did not wait for a reply to
her peace offer. but initiated measures
n month ago to expand her supply Of
men and munitions.
We ought to see," the correspondent
writes. clearly enough now that our
efforts on land. especially on the west
ern front, have not been adequate to
secure a decision or even to deserve It,
referring to the imputation, with
tendency to exaggeration. that the
France and the French have three mill
lion, he says:
Great Supremacy Required.
Statements of this nature serve
rather to obscure the issues than to IL
illuminate them. It ought to be known
and admitted that the aggregate ma
tional strengths do not express the real
value of fighting armies. We all ought
to count in bayonets and guns in order
to ascertain our chances Of victory, aud
when We count in this manner the fg-
ures dwindle to quite a different total.
The truth Of the situation in the west is
that Germany has 1928 divisions opposed
to US and that the number of French.
British and Belgian divisions Is not yet
such as to promise a decision in an Of
fensive war.
The offensive devolves on us in order
that we may evict the enemy from the
territories four allies, and such an
offensive. against modern means OF de-
fense. demands a great superiority In
infantry and all other modern machin
cry. Before the war we supposed
two. or even three. to one superiority
not too great for the attacker, and
must repeat again and again that we
have nothing like this superiority and
that victory depends on obtaining 1t.
II Is always possible for the Germans
to place In the west the floating bal
ance of strategic reserves which they
used against Rumania, and If in 1917
we only employ against the enemy a
slight superiority Of force nothing bet
ter than slight success can reason
ably be anticipated"
Crying Need for Men.
The writer declares that there is a
crying need for more men and that
there has been a great remissness in
the creation of new divisions along the
lines of Kitchener's original concep-
tion. He refers to the military plan
published in the Times in 1914, which,
he says. Lord kitchener also revised
and declared would insure Britain of
being able to continue the war when
the other powers were exhausted. Ac-
cording to the correspondent. this plan
has gradually lapsed from many rea-
sons. chiefly the recruiting muddle in
the autumn of 1915. which. he saws
even now is far from cleared up.
We need another sixty divisions in
the west" he concludes. The neces-
sary men exist. and there is every prob
ability that their appearance in the
field viii decide the war"
