that occasionally crop out in the

for carrying over such cows during

from COWS on the different feeds. 1t
is believed by the Agricultural Col.

to depend upon grass alone or on grass

Washington, Dec. l9-Germany's
strength on the Franco British front is
placed, in official dispatches received
here today, at l54 divisions, or within
one division Of the great force massed
there last July when the German mill
tary effort against France was at its
maximum.
Withdrawals from Russia and drafts
upon the younger classes of reservists
have enabled the kaiser not only to
make up the enormo losses suffered
in bloody battles with the allies, but
to replace the men sent to aid the Aus
TRANS in their invasion of Italy.
Winter, therefore, finds the German
with armies facing the allies in France
virtually equal to the largest ever be-
fore mustered, with advertisement of
a great offensive, which may pressage
another peace proposal.
The allies, however, are understood
to maintain n considerable superiority
in numbers on the French front.
