Reserve Power Will Win

w HEN General Radcliffe British director
w Of military operations. declared in
public interview that the group Of nations
having the greatest number OF reserves will
be victorious in this war, he gave expression
to the thought that has been in many minds
since the great Flanders Picardy battle has
been in progress. Over here as we'll as over
there it has become evident that the armies
now graphing in a life-and-death struggle
are not the armies which must decide tho
issue, but that armies which are yet TO come
must be relied upon to win this fight
1t, therefore, becomes matter OF reserve
power, and it must be obvious that the ad-
vantage in this direction lies with tho allies
Germany now has her maximum man
strength in the field. OF that there can be
no doubt She has consolidated her eastern
and her western armies. She has brought
her old mon and her children into the ranks
she has drafted such troops as her allies can
spare-all for the colossal blow which she
has meant TO deal her enemies
The man strength of France is probably at
its maximum. well as is that OF Belgium.
1t is unlikely that France will De able to do
more than she is doing now, and it Is GER

she may recruit. But Great Britain and
