Number of Men Fighting For Kaiser

Germany cannot add from her own
country more than 100000 men to the
army this year. and the annual Ger
man loss is about 100000. But the
kaiser hopes to place Ukrainian army
on the western front before the end OF
the war.
There are row on the front from
Calais to Belfort 203 German divisions,
a total, say, of 3.65o.000. This is 1900
coo more than Germany had on
the western front a year ago. and of
the increase % per cent, came from
the Russian front. The remainder Is
made up of recruits.
On the eastern front are half a mil
lion German soldiers. the poorest part
Of the kaisers army There are in Ger
man depots 500, 600 soldiers, and on
lines of communication 100000 more.
There is one German division in Pal
estine, but none in Mesopotamia, and
none on the Italian front.
These forces all told total about
5.465. 900 Officers with Germany's allies
and other smaller factors would bring
the figure to about 100000. German
losses Of a permanent nature in the
recent Somme offensive summed. say.
100000 This leaves strength OF
300, 600 as a masure of the military
man power of Germany today.
When the kaiser started the war in
August, 1914. he had an army Of $500

this army had grown to 100000. BY
August. 1916, the German army num-
bered $500. 900. In August, 1911, it was
5000. GOO Now it is about zoo, 900 fewer
than that.

While it may be said truly that there
are more than h,0N00 900 lighting men
still in the German army 0eaving out
of account any estimates of the Aus
trian army. the American, French and
British soldiers holding the line of the
allies in Flanders and France have not
quite all that amount of Teutonic man
power to grapple with; nor Will they
have.
During the past month or more-or

truth
Still, one fact is undeniahle, and that
is that the German army today. its

While that 5 not far from twice the
number Of men in arms With which
Kaiser Wilhelm began the war, it is a

in August, 1915. These figures can be
trusted always remembering that the
Austrian forces anywhere are not

been put in at rate of 100000 year
This indicates that German losses since
August, 1915. were 100000. men. The
German army's total loss in the war Is
placed at considerably more than 3,0O0.-
600.
The Germans started the present Of
fensive with an infantry superioasy OF
100000 over the French and British
forces. Many German divisions have
been disrupted by severe punishment,
and indications now are that the enemy
is repairing the machine before hitting
again. He has abundance of man
power to feed the machine as soon as
it is fixed. f
That fact makes every soldier in
France and England needed now, and
Americans are performing a larger
military service than is often thought.
Every American soldier in the line any
where from Calais to Belfort adds one
fighter to tie allied forces. This means
that every, American division holding
line on American sectors adds two
French divisions to the force to con-
front the boche, French divisions being
one-half the size of American.
Germany cannot increase the size OF
her army from within. and the rstab-
lished ratio of losses will decrease her
army. These Losses are now running
at a rate of more than 100000 a year.
and her 1919 class numbers 100000
However, Germans and Ukratnians may
some time be fighting side by side. And
still there is no fact visible or figure
quotabie that should bring any feeling
of pessimism or forebodinS to the
minds of America and her allies.
