Increased more by these guns than
by the additional soldiers who would
be available.
To allay any possible alarm In case
the worst comes to the worst In Rus
STA. there In one thing that may be
said about the strength OF the allies
In the west. II Germany brings all
her men and all her guns from Rus
sia, she will be inferior To the allies
in fire power, which means that she
will have less guns and less shells
than her opponents. She will have
the worst of IL In the air. And the
possible superiority in numbers which
Germany might possess at the start
would not be sufficient to counter
balance the allies advantage in ma
terlal, would not offset the strategical
advantage the allies now possess thru
the positions they have won, while
the constantly arriving American
troops would turn the scale, even as
regards man-power alone, back again
in our favor before the end of the
years campaign.
So much for the man-power In
1918. There Is another factor. per-
haps even more important, that will
help to determine the course of the
| fighting next year in the west. That
| is the factor of position.
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-12-30

So far as the entente is concerned.
the Salonica front is not likely TO be
the scene OF important operations.
The collapse OF Russia has so altered
the strategical situation in the near
east that no offensive in Macedonia
could pay for itself In results. altho.
OF course. the allies are determined
TO recover for Serbia at the peace
conference all that she has lost. Sar-
rails army represents tempting bait
for "A German and Bulgarian attack.
and there are rumors that an enemy
offensive against Da Salonica will he
undertaken before long.
Much less than justice has been
done by the public TO the brilliant CO.

f'alkenheyn in the great Turkish

After tho Russian revolution caused
tie Russian armies in Persia to re-

Mlude's army at Bagdad, the Ger

vantage of his weakened position by
launching great offensive that was
10 retake the city of the caliphs and
drive the British down the Tigris to

not yet begun. thanks to Britisi

Some of them may be under fire by

These facts show clearly enouSh
that Germany is straining every nerve
to keep her armies at full strength,
hut they also show, unfortunately.
that she has so far been successful
in doing so. Optimistic stories that
the Germans are running short or
men are not true. on the west front
there will be no shortage OF enemies
IN 1918, even II the Russians stay in
their trenches.
ON the main eastern front against
Russia, Germany is maintaining some
eighty divisions. The possibility must
be faced that very many of these III
visions will appear in the west dur
ing 1918. It is not likely, even II q
sort of peace were patched up with
the Lenintes in Russia, that all the
German troops could be withdrawn.
for conditions in Russia are such that
any political agreement with pur-
ported Russian government could not
I be depended upon. and there are III
Russia vast stores OF arms cannon
and shells, and unlimited trained sol
diers. The central powers, whatever
| happens. will have to guard against
some surprise movement against them
