ALLIED ARMIES OUTNUMBER
GERMANS ON WEST FRONT
Entente Generals VIII Have 3,5O0, ,OoO
Men TO Meet German
Drive.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Figures COM
piled here from official German and al
lied reports Indicate that the allied
armies in France will far outnumber
those of General Ludendorf when the
. Forthcoming German drive is launched
Germany will marshal 2.S4a.0O0 men
and the allies will lave at least $500
600 it is believed.
These figures are based upon pub
that the French and British now have
approximately Ill divisions, or $780,
900 men. TO this must be added the
American force of 100000 in round
numbers and the Italian, Belgian and
Portuguese troops. AS the forces OF
the last three mentioned countries are
not large and will undoubtedly be off
set by divisions which the Germans
will send to tie western front later.
they are not calculated In the total
strength of the alli,s.
The strength of German forces is
based upon recent statements gathered
by allied agents within the German
lines These reports show that. al
though Germany planned to have at
least 210 divisions of approximately
/ 1000 each on the western front by
July /, she has been unable to with
draw as many men as was expected
from the Russian front. and has only
2O3 divisions confronting the allied

he imitation stuff.
This does not mean that the "l .

kind of entertainment he signs for
but is giving him the kind he wants
A good reason is given for every pro
hibition on bad comedy, all being set
forth in the instructions given to en-
tertainers enlisted to go over seas in
Y. N. C. A. uniforms. Every enter
tainer unwilling to abide by these in
structions is urged not to go.
Too short skirts, too low-necked
dresses and all indecent or suggestive
acts or words are absolutely pro-
hibited. AS to questionable jokes,
the actor is reminded that the front
seats are often occupied by the most
respected women in France, the Red
Cross nurss, canteen workers and Y.
Nj. C. A. women. Gags depending on
Hoboken or Canarsie are pointless to
boys who have never been nearer
New York than the Jersey shore, and
swear jokes fail to amuse clean mind
ed lads from small towns.
Absence from home has surround
ed women with sentimental halo in
the eyes of the boys, so the metro
politan knockouts belittling wives is
Objectionable. The same applies to
"bar-room stuff" in entertaining the
most temperate army ever formed.
AS for trying to 'get a hand" by
bowling ''get out and fight for your
country gallery-play at men who are
doing that hourly, the absurdity is
obvious to the most confirmed gallery
player.
Actresses going from the cham
payne district Of Broadway to the
Champagne district of France need
not expect to imbibe the golden grape
juice with handsome officers, because
they must agree before going not to
drink or smoke in the presence of
officers or enlisted men nor to be
with them after ''taps." They must
obey, for they cannot walk the ties"
