MANPOWER OF
HUN MACHINE IS
ON DOWN GRADE
Grown Prince Uses Most of
His Reserves to Stave
Off Disaster
By Associated Press

London, July 25.-On the western
front of the Soissons- Rheims salient
the allied forces have advanced to
an average depth of three miles on
twelve mile front during the past
two days.
The reports show that the Ger
man high command has thus far en-
gagged sixty-four divisions in the
battle, representative OF groups of
the German armies in Flanders to
Alsace. These sixty-four divisions
are nearly a third of the available
German army.
The conclusion is drawn that the
enemy is being hard put to it for re-
serves, although Crown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria, on the northern
'front.' still has plenty of reserve divi-
sions.
In authoritative circles here the
view is expressed that Germany has
reached what might be called the
downward curve in her manpower.
This applies to Prince Rupprecht's
army as well as to the rest of the
German army, and it explains why
Prince Rupprecht is not inclined to
take the offensive.
This drop in German manpower is
not sudden occurrence. 1t has been
known to the allied military authori-
ties for some time. The infantry
units have been weakened by the
withdrawal of storm troops and by
heavy losses.
