He hath taken this Easter Lily to
adorn His home on high. The bereaved

Sept. 2s.-Germanyato today has $500, 900

This Is the man power that re-

OF the s.s0o,oo0. approximately
100000 are actually at the front and
100000 more are In reserve. The re-
naming 100000 constitute one of the
greatest tragedies of the war. They are
the boy soldiers of the classes of 1919
and 1920 They constitute the only re-
sources of human material" on which
Germany has to draw. They must fill
up losses in the German army which

normally total from 10000 to 10000
monthly.
To date, however, the German gener-
al staff has not succeeded in imposing
on the German people its right to
seize these youths before they are IS.
Therefore this last drop of potential
German manhood cannot pass into the
army except in piecemeal lots, as the
boys attain the age of Is.
