an offensive, against modern means
OF defense, demands a great superior
lty in strength, particularly in heavy
guns, infantry and all other modern
military machinery.
Before the war We supposed two or
even three to one superiority not too
great for the attacker and | must re-
peat again and again that we have moth
ing like this superiority and that victory
depends on obtaining it. 1t is always
possible for the Germans to place in the
west the floating balance Of strategic re-
serves which they used against Ruman.a,
and If IN 1917 we only employ against
the enemy slight superiority of force
nothing better than a slight success can
reasonably lie anticipated"
The writer declares that there is cry
ing need for more men and that there
has been great rcmssness in the crca-
ton of new divisions along the line OF
kitChenerS original conception. He re-
fers to the military plan published in
the Times in 1914, which lie says Lord
Kitchener himself revised and declared
would ensure Britain of being capable to
continue the war when the other powers
were exhausted. According to the corre>
spondent this plan has gradually lapsed
from many reasons, chiefly the recruiting
middle in the autumn of 1915, which, he
says, even now is far from cleaned up.
I'VE need another 60 divisions in the
west" he concluded. The necessary
men exist and there is every probability
that their appearance in the field will de-
eide the war"

Allies Should Make Extra
Efforts to Deserve Victory
Says Times Military Writer

London, jan 15.-The Times mill
tary correspondent maintains that the
prolongation of the war, las the result
of the foredooomed 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 rot wait for a reply to
her peace offer. but initiated measures
a 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 decision or even to deserve it."
Referring to the imputation, with
tendency to exaggeraton, that the
British have 100000 men in France
and the French have 100000" He
says:
Statements Of this nature serve
rather to obscure the issues than to
illuminate them. 1t 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 or
der to ascertain our chances of VIC
tory and when we count in this man
ner the figures dwindle to quite a diff
ferent total. The truth of the situa ton
in the west is chat Germany has 12S
divisions opposed TO us and that the
number of French. British and Bel
gian divisions is not yet such as to
promise a decision in an offensive war.
The offensive devolves on us in or
der that we may evict the enemy from
the territories of our allies and such
