London, Eng, Jan 15.-The Times
military correspondent says that Ger
many did not 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

secure q decision, or even to deserve it,.
Referring to the imputation that the
British have 100000 men III France
and the French have 5000. 900. he says:
Germany Has I2s Divisions.
Statements of this nature serve
rather TO obscure the issues than to H.

tional strengths do not express the real
value of fighting armies.
The truth Of the situation in the west
IS that Germany has 12S divisions op-
posed TO US and that the number OF
French. British and Belgian divisions

Major General Commanding

major. general OF the American army
or any army. for that matter-address
thousands of soldiers under his com
mand. But Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing
talked TO his boys" the night OF the
great Christmas tree celebration after
the big windstorm on Christmas day.
II was a very brief speech, delivered
on a soap box in the open air In a
great circle around him were 5000
troops. Near him was the giant Christ
mas tree. slitterinS with electric
lights.
somehow a rumor had Dermeated tn
camp the day before that the general
was going TO make an announcement
that would bring JOY 10 everyone. II
was said he intended to tell the troops
of the day set for their withdrawal
from Mexico. OF course. no such an
nouncement was made-but the gen
erai told his men = few things that
made them all a little bit less home
sick a little more cOntented with their
lot and "A bit prOuder that they are
maintaining the Stars and Stripes IN
Mexico through seeming endless DAYS
OF inactivity. / have noticed that there
is much less grUmblinC in camp since
the night of his speech.
1t was devoted mainly 20 a mention
of the Red Cross gift OF packages re-
ceiyed by the soldiers. The total value
OF the presents was approximately
S25 coo. and there was one for every
man Of this command said the gen
eral in part:
These gifts from the Red Cross are
an exemDlification of the friendship
felt for us-the army-by that great
charitable organization They repre-
sent the great heart of the American
people, who have not forgotten US
while We are down here doing our
duty. The American people are behind
as and I think this viii prove TO all
of US that their thoughts are with us
at this time We are down here carry
ing out their will; they are looking TO
US to continue doing our full duty
and they know that their trust is not
misplaced

some announcement that would make
this a memorable celebration. Well.

loyalty to duty, the officers and men

The storm Of cheering that broke out
then lasted for several minutes The
boys felt that the odd man was
pleased with them-that they had won
his esteem in the long. hard months
Of service in Mexico They were glad
TO be told about ii and have been. as
a whole, in much better spirits since
then than they were before Christmas.
