Paris.-The Echo de Paris, referring
to the distribution Of enemy forces
on the different fronts, says;
"On the Franco-British front there
have been for several months past 152
German divisions, of which "a were
opposed by the British and the remain
der by the French. Following the re-
cent British offensive at Cambria, this
proportion was modified. There are
now exactly 154 divisions On the
Franco-British front, each comprising
about $3.50 bayonets, and including
artillery, engineers, etc, or about H.
600 men In all, thus giving about p
100000 German combatants on the
Franco-B British front.
"In view of the uncertainty of what
Russian anarchy has in store for them,
the Germans have left about a million
men on the Russo-Roufnanla front. AS
a matter of fact. the movements eff
fected have resulted not I'm a diminu-
ton Of the number of fighting units
on this front, but In their quality.
son the Italian front Germany has
sent to the assistance of the 40 Aus
trian divisions only seven divisions, or
about 100000 men.
ION the Balkan front she has sent
only 10000 combatants to r~e-einforce
the Turks and Bulgarians. In Asia
Germany has restricted her help to
furnishing general stats.
Consequently Germany, whose total
strength is 5,500,O0O men, has on the
various fronts 3,130,OOO men, the re-
mainder being required for guarding
the Swiss and Dutch frontiers and for
the occupation of. the invaded terri
