Washington, Aug. 6. - The allies

This is the cheering message of
the American people given by Andre
Tardieu, high commissioner OF
France in the United States, in a
formal communication to Secretary
Baker, setting forth a detailed state

French people has made possible. 1t

the United States is to aid in striking
the last blow at the foe.
Mr.. Tardieu's letter follows in

recent talk, the surprise / felt in
reaCing so often in American news
papers some utterly inaccurate
info rmation regarding the military
conditions prevailing In Europe and
especially in the French army.
IN connection with our conversa-
tion, believe it would be of interest
to present to you some figures which.
better than any comments, will ex-
pose to you the reality, these figures
will show you France as she is,
vigorous and powerful, in spite of
three years of suffering without
precedent in history.
Strength in Men.
The strength in men, now present
IN the zone of the armies alone,
shows the maximum figure reached
during the war.
This figure, which amounts to a
little less than three millions Of men,
exceeds by over a million the num-
ber of men actually in the said zone
at the beginning, and one must add
to that figure the men in the zone
of the interior and in the colonies.
1--WE are certain with the resources
of cur metropolitan and colonial de-
pots to be able to maintain that
number up to its present level for a
Front Held.
For measuring the offensive and
defensive quality of the troops whose
numerical strength have indicator
above. can do nothing better than
to quote. some more figures. The
western front has an extension OF
739 kilometers, 27 kilometers are
held by the Belgians. 138 kilometers
are held by the English, STA kilo-
meters are held by the French. The
French army holds accordingly more
than two-thirds of the western
front, that is to say, of the front
where the enemy has always direct
ed its chief exertion.
"The German divisions in line on
the western front were moreover, in
June, 1917, distributed as follows: AZ
opposite the English, 81 opposite the
French. A German division holds
an average front of four kilometers
and 700 meters, a French division
an average front of five skilometers
