Mere Minor Manufactures.

These are but the minor manufactures
OF the American Army. for II it does
not do the manufacturing itelf 1t con-
tracts for it, which amounts to the
same thing. There are other greater
manufactures about which ! cannot be
as specific as ] would like. I am per-
mitted to say, however. that contracts
have been made with Swiss manufac-
turers to make certain things for the
Army. and that Spanish manufactures
are likewise at work. Before either
could enter upon their contracts the
purchasing board had to become body
of diplomats Both Switzerland and
Spain profered requests which were
granted. That's all.
The purchasing board also deals with
labor 1t tried to open the coal mines
on the central plateau of France which
have been idle since the beginning of
the war. but ran against snag in the
French labor unions. There were no
miners available, and the union leaders
objected to the Importation of miners.
So that was out of the question. There
was a proposition to bring in American
labor to farm the land Immediately be-
hind the front, which has been neces-
sarily abandoned during the past three
years of war. 1t is as yet doubtful
whether this can be done. There are
tonnage questions involved. SO far as
the Importation of American labor is
concerned. and there are diplomatic OBJ
jections to the importation of Spanish
and Italian labor, which is at hand and
plentiful.

No Scarcity Of Labor.

However. if 1t cannot be truthfully
said that there is plenty of labor in
France. there is far more here than has
been realized Great Britain has made
the same discovery during her "comb-
ing out" process. 1t is difficult to ex-
haust the resources of a great people,
either in material, men or morale.
France has sent her best men to the
line throughout the war, but there Is q
great reserve of second best men who
are fit for factory use. Now that some
of the older classes are to be returned
from the front. this class of labor will
increase.
Then there are the women
The French woman has always been
the mainstay of France, and she is
living up to her best traditions today.
She has been carrying on the farms and
shops and munitions workshops of
France, not to speak of the homes. and
now she has taken on a little more
work for the Americans. In the field.
which has seemed stripped bare of ali
labor, both the British and the Ameri-
cans have been able to find the women
they needed. For one thing, they have
paid very well. indeed.

STRENGTH OF THE OPPOSING ARMIES
From Current Issue Literary Digest.

The expected terrific onslaught,
perhaps the greatest of the entire war,
against the allied battle front in
France and Flanders, gives crucial i'm
portance to the question of the rela-
tive strength of the opposing armies.
Last weeks meeting Of the Austrian
and German kaisers at the German
great headquarters may result in the
dispatch of Austro- Hungarian troops
to the Western front or to the launch
ing of new offensive against Italy;
and Germany's peace treaty with Rou-
mania may release few German di-
visions to participate in the Western
drive. But observers agee that there
is no reserve of speedily available
man power for the central powers to
draw upon that can counterbalance
the khaki stream now pouring across
the Atlantic from the United States.
Assuming that Germany will stake
everything on a decision before the
Americans can arrive in sufficient
force to make the odds against her
overwhelming, the vital question is:
What are the numbers now arrayed
on each side, beth on the battle line
and in reserve? While no official fig
ures are available in answer, there
is n certain amount of agreement
among the estimates offered by the
military critics. The keynote of Cen
eral Foch's strategy, as these critics
interpret it, is to oppose the masses
of men hurled against his lines with
the smallest force capable of sus-
ing his reserves for the final decision.
For the success of the allies, says
the expert of the New York Times,
depends on keeping out of the fight as
many divisions as possible. while
forcing Germany to throw in as many
as possible. According to the same
authority, Germany has now very
few reserves, her we'll has nearly gone
dry, and she must win the war with
what she already has in the field"
German losses in the great drive, he
says, have been variously estimated
in figures ranging from $4,000 to
100000. II we should grant the
kaiser's oratorical claim that al
ready 100000 English have been put
hors de combat" we should have to
figure that the German masses thrown
upon the allied guns suffered much
more than the defenders, and adopt
the higher estimate. The German
army today, according to Times cor
respondent with our forces in France,
who claims that his figures are au-
thentic, numbers approximately g.
100000. This, we are told. does not
include the Austrian army, (which, in
the calculation Of military experts, is
a check-off against the Italian army"
More than 100000 Of these German
soldiers are said to be on the West
crn front. To quote further:
.sWhen the kaiser started the war
in August. 1914, he had an army Of
$500, 900 in actual operation. One
year later this army had grown TO a.
Denver labor bulletin. [volume] (Denver, Colo.) 1915-19??, 1918-06-01

SOC. OeH BY August, 1916, The Ger
man army numbered $4,000 In
August, 1917, the approximate size of
the German army was 5000 900. Now
it is about 100000 fewer than that.
The difference between the present
size of the army and that at the
high water in August, 1916, is con-
sequently 100000
"Since August, 1916. recruits have
been put in at rate of 600 900 year,
or 9O0, 900 in all This indicates the
were 100000 men. The German
army's total loss in the war is placed
at over 5000. 000"
An even higher estimate of the total
losses of the German army in killed
and prisoners since the beginning of
the war is published in Das Neue
Europa, by Karl Bleibtren, a German
statistician, who places the figure at
4 .456 ,961. And in the New York
World we are reminded that "the
German government stopped publish
ing its casualty lists last June, at
which time the dead numbered L.
los, 760, prisoners and missing, 591,-
966, and the wounded 2,S25 .5Sl-a to-
tai of 1923 ,307."
Strange as it may seem, remarks
u
paper, our information as to the
strength of the allies in the field is
by no means as accurate as our infor-
nation about the Germans. But ac-
cording to Andre Tardieu, French
high commissioner in this country,
France had an army of S,0o0,0o
when the German offensive began in
March. 1t is officially admitted that
the United States has more than 500,-
900 men in France already, and Wash
ington dispatches say that the admin
istration hopes to make it 100000
by the end of the year. And thru
reliable channels" the news comes to
Washington, according to the Star of
that city, that Italy has recently sent
nearly as many men to the French
front as has this country, and that
her program calls for duplication
States sends abroad" The Star goes
on to say: q
SIN other words, by the time the
United States has million men be-
hind the Western front Italy will have
a like number. Thus General Foch
will have added to his army reserve
two million men, minus those he
places on the actual fighting front"
Thus, without counting the great
English army. the exact size of which
we do not know, the allies would seem
to have in France at this time about
1000, 900 men. Says correspondent
Of the New York Times with the
French armies:
"To one who views the situation dis
passionately it seems that the trump
cards.. e., the absence Of che sur
prise element, the failure Of the pre-
vious effort, German inferiority in man
power and artillery, the allies un-
