 The statement follows:

 "The enemy, in spite of suffer ing the severest losses, has proved incapable of stemming the on slausht of our troops fighting for liberty side by side with French, British and Italian veterans. In the course of the operations, 8,400 prisoners and 133 guns have been captured by our men alone.

THE SIZE or THE ARMY

We think we have pretty good
sized army in France already, and as
matter af fact. We have as large a
force there as Napoleon ever had i'm
der his command at one time. By the
end of the year, ii all goes well, we
shall have a million and half there.
BY this time mex year we shall al
most have two million
That is-a large number OF men,
measured even by present standards.
But it seems small when we consider
our human resources, in the light Of
what we have accomplished in preyt.
Gus wars.
II we were to raise as many troops
in comparison with our population as
fought in our Civil War we should
have nearly l2G0o.c9o men under
arms We do not expect to raise any
where near that May. TO be sure, 1t
doesn't seem likely that half that num-
Der will be needed for the biz job on
hand But it is we'll to remember that
the issues at stake today arc no less
vital than those of the Civil War, and
to refrain from either fearing or adj
miring the size OF our army until il
approxmates, say 30 or 10 per cent OF
the man-power we marshallcd half a
century ago.
