GERMANS HAVE MOST
TROOPS ENGAGED NOW

FRENCH FRONT, Oct. ga clear
idea of the ebb and flow of the tides of
German forces on the eastern ano
western fronts during the various
phases of the war from the opening
Of hostilities in 1914, till the beginning
of September 1917, is obtained from
carefully compiled information which
the correspondent of the Associated
Press is enabled to transmit.
From this it is gathered that when
the Germans started the war by in
Sading Belgium they launched 1870 bat
talions of infantry formed into SO u
divisions of four regiments each on to
the F'ranco-Belgian front, while on the
Russian front they employed only 322
battalions, formed into ID divisions
of four regiments each On Septem-
Der 1 this year they had on the Franco
Belgian-British front, 1869 battalions,
formed into LAT divisions, some of
WnlCll WSlG vi tHIOC anu OblICl VI
four regiments each, while on the
Russo-Rumanian front 965 battalions
formed into 92 divisions were in line
1t will thus be seen that the German
armies on the fighting fronts have been
increased in the three years of war
from 1912 battalions to 1884 battalions.
A review of the different periods Of
the war will show how these troops
have been employed at various times,
according to whether the principal ei-
fort of the Germans has been directed
toward the western or the eastern
front
In August 1914 the attention OF the
German high command was absorbed,
by the attack on Belgium and France,
while the Russian front was regarded
IS a secondary operation. At that time
the infantry electives on the western
front numbered 1,19O battalions in 96
10 divisions, each division consisting
Of four regiments. On the eastern
front, the Germans then had 1922 bat
talions comprising rs 10 divisions
When the Battle of the User was
fought in November, 1914, the Ger
mans intensified their effort in the
west and brought up their electives to
la higher figure and at the same time
Increased the number of battalions On
their eastern front 50 that they then
had 1898 battalions on the western
front and 1893 on the eastern front

iT7LEFIELD RELICS
INTERESTING DISPLAY

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Oct. 26.-In a quaint old
place some miles behind the battleliDe
are housed many interesting souvenirs
OF the great war, curious relics from
world-famous battlefelds and illustra-
tons of phases of daily life in the
trenches, German trophies for the
most part Many of these exhibits are
destined in due course to form part
OF the National War Museum. The
old First Corps flag carried by the
heroic and Inflated Cough at Ypres
is one of the notable relics.
Here also one may see the carved
oak table from shelled Arras uned By
Field Marsal Sir Douglas Haig at his
headquarters throughout the battle OF
the Somme There is the First Corps
headquarters flag which he carried in
the Mons retreat, his first flag as com
mander of the First Army. There are
several other flags of great interest
of which one must not forget to
mention the first Tanks fiag-the first
Portuguese flag in the trenches, the
first American flag to fly in France
after the American declaration of war.
There are German flags too, as for
instance, a large one unearthed in the
Hotel de Vile Peroone, another from
Beaumont Hamel.
After flags which are symbals of oar
army, come captured guns. But there
is only rooms here for the smaller
engines of war, such as trench NOR
tars, minenwervers and grenade-throw-
er, with a few machine guns damaged
in battle. There is a great ungainly
mienwerfer captured at Vimy by The
Canadians
There are shown two German para
chutes, souvenirs of a brilliant battle
in the air and dozens of enemy rifles,
inscribed with the names of villages
in the Somme or Arras region where
hand to hand conflicts were waged.
German material is here in profusion,
shells of every calibre, shell cases
and basket carriers, fiammenwerfers,
bombs, axes, knives, pistols. wire cut
ters, and a unique collection of trench
clubs, including one with flexible
handle and a heavy steel head posi-
lively devilish in ingenuity.
Scattered through this museum are
life-sized mannequins attired in enemy
raiment. One affords a striking rep
resentation of a medieval warrior
even though he is clad only in the
steel armor and casque of A. D. 1911
Over his shoulders he carries cross
