8 were In Russia. Today Germany
has 30 divisions on the Western front,
IL the Italian battle line is not in
cluded in that definition. Austria had
70 divisions last year. Now she has
only a. having been forced to con-
solidate some divisions.
Hun Power to wane.
Germany's leaders have refused as
long as possible to lessen the number
Of divisions, since war is fought today
with divisions and not with numbers
Of men. Originally Germany had about
1900 men to a division. Today the
number Is near 1900. The time is
not far OF according to military ex-
perts. when the German power will
begin to dwindle and then Germany
will find herself driven to the con-
solidation of divisions.
Reports received here also show that
the new class of young soldiers,
known as the class Of 1921, will not
be available to the German army be-
fore October and will number not
more that 200 men. Once a year
thereafter, It is estimated. Germany
can gain only $1,000 men for her
fighting ranks. unless some great
change Is made in the use Of men
in the factories and in other pur-
suits.
Gain $4,000 a Year.
Great interest is attached here TO
the reported statement given out. il is
believed, with the approval Of Hinden-
burg end Ludendorff. In this state
ment 1t is pointed out that It may be
necessary for the Germans to fall
back twelve kilometers. At some
points the Germans have already re-
treated twenty kilometers.
The statement is published in the pa
pers throughout Germany and seeks
to explain why the much advertised
great offensive proved to be a boom
erang to the men who conceived it.
After renewing the promise that a de-
cisive blow will be struck against the
allies, the statement saws:
THE physiognomy which the strug-
gle presents on the front between
Scissors and Rheims and in the
Champagne in consequence Of the Ger
man attacks and the Franco British
counter attacks has led to the neces-
sity Of postponing for some time the
decisive blow. With this end in view,
and for the strategical regroupings
has to be created.
Admit Retiring.
while awaiting until these prep
arations are completed, We have been
forced to retire in a northern d.
rection on the Marine front. A re-
treat Of about a dozen kilomete-s
will perhaps be sufficient It is not
thought necessary now that Him
denburg should find himself under
the obligation OF Withdrawing the
front as far back as the Vesle River.
The German interior front (refer-
ring TO the civil population) is i'm
plored not to renounce its confidence
in our great leader. Hindenburg."
1t is noticeable that the statement
mentions the opposing troops as be-
ing Franco-British. no mention Of
Americans being made.

tional amendment. The issue is, will
we do IL within u months, or will we
allow the matter to be deferred for
three or five or seven years The diff
ference between national prohibition
in y months and in three years means
a waste of at least ST., 600, 600, 900. Also
it will mean the loss Of 1000 lives.
It viii mean decrease in the coal

waste of enough grain to feed an

ference between national prohibition

conflict between the allies and Ger
many.
Germany Prohibits Use Of Grain.
Germany has gone so far as to pro-
hibit the use Of grains for the manu-
facture of beer. That is the greatest
single attack she could have made
against the armies Of the allies Let
US make a counter attack by securing
war prohibition within 80 days and
national constitutional prohibition
within u months.
I'VE also have met here to decide,
among other things, what shall be our

~ ton and the National parties met
here today TO formulate policies for
campaigns during the year.
The National party was organized
here last october by representatives
Of the Prohi5itionists, Progressives,
Loyal Socialists and single takers. The
two parties have a number of pur-
poses in common. notably national
prohibition, woman suffrage and pub
lie ownership Of public utilities.
The question of merging the Prohi-
hilton party with the National was
expected to be fought out on the floor
of the Prohibition convention At the
state convention Of the party yester-
day, Il provoked fight which re-
suited in delegates TO the national
convention today being uninstructeo
on the subject Veterans in the Pro-
hibition ranks opposed the merger,
while the younger element urged
union.
Demands Nationwide Prohibition.
A demand for immediate nationwide
prohibition as war measure was
voiced by Virgil G. Hinshaws chair
man Of the Prohibition national com
mittee. in an address opening the
18th national convention OF that party
in Chicago today. More than 1000 del
