The German commanders had no
drafts ready to replace their enormous
losses, and failing these they were
compelled to break up some OF their
existing divisions and to use the men
who had composed them to keep the
remaining divisions in the field BY
November II, the Germans had in
this way broken up twenty-six OF their
divisions, but even this evpedlent
failed To fill the ranks. On Noyon-
bcr Il the value OF the German army
had fallen to seventeen units, while
that OF the allied armies remained
constant at 2S, the British and French
armies having declined 10 an extent
which was made good by the growth
OF the American army
When hosulties ceased the relative
strength Of the allied armies was
roughly, Belgians, one British, eight,
Americans, SIX, French ten. We say,
then, that from the time when our
army took the offensive on August 3
up to the signature Of ,he armistice, II
represented numerically about one
third of the allied strength on the
western front As an example OF how
much that one-third did toward the
winning OF the final victory, do not
think can do better than point to our
share OF prisoners taken on the west
crn front during the campaign in 1913
These amount for all the allies in
round numbers 10 4l5OO0. OF which the
British army captured 10000.

But very few incidents Of the win
ter which is now about passing appear
to have attracted SO much attention
as the display Thursday evening and
night of the aurora borealis, or north
ern lights, and their appearance came
in for a lot Of talk among people who
saw them, especially those who saw
them during the late hours of the night.
AS early as 9 o'clock in the evening the
display was very bright and a novel
feature about it was that the streamers
were not only coming from the north
and west but also as far around as
southeast and southwest and all were
streaming upward until they met at
the zenith. The display is said to have
reached it's greatest glory at about mid
night, when the streamers changed
from their usual grenish and yellow
tints to those ranging from crimson
to rose color. and making such dis
play as has not been witnessed in Au-
gusta for years. One man who sat
I'D to watch the unusual display said
that at about midnight, at which time
the red streamers were flaming to the
zenith from the four points Of the COM
pass, they reminded him Of the raging
Of flames from mighty furnace.
