London, NOV. Military authors
ties, who three weeks ago : were
skeptical over the return of peace be-

convinced that the German army Is
In q serious condition owing to its in
ability to shorten its line and produce
fresh reserves.
It is pointed out hat German
casualties this year amount to $780,

casualties. Last March Germany had
eighty fresh reserve divisions which
meant divisions which had not been
in line for a month. Now the Ger
man reserve consists Of fifty divisions,
only seven Of which have had as
q fortnights rest and zone as much as
a month, which is considered the
minimum for an efficient force. Ger
man divisions now are appearing on
the firing line with many hundreds of
rifles below the normal of $3.50.
On October 8, regiments in 40 or so
divisions were reduced from a -four
