later as a wartime measure, will

THE BASES

This tells accurately what won the
war, the authority being Uncle Sans
war statistician: From July German
strength steadily declined, and by No
vember IL had fallen to IT units
against 20 for the Allies. maintained
by the heavy incoming of Yankees to
replace French and British losses.
When hostilities ceased, accordips
to General Maurice, the relative
strength measured roughly by his
standard was: Belgians, l; French
10; British, 8; Americans. 6. The
element of physical weight carried
its effect no less certainly than
strategy.
The Germans are just as monu-
mental liars now. as ever. They
threaten to terrorize If not fed, and

ing Post, London, says: 1--WE are
better off for food this year than in
1917 There is plenty of grain and
potatoes. so there will be no short
age" The Post comments as fol-
lows:
"This only confirms the belief held
in authoritative quarters here that
the conditions of scarcity advertised
in Germany's daily whine about the
armistice conditions do not, in fact,
exist. Out of their own mouths, or
those of their rulers, and newspapers.
before the collapse, the Germans can
be shown to have confessed to suffi-
cient supplies to carry them through
the winter. With their harvest, just
gathered, there cannot be that mem
ace of immediate shortage which Is
now represented in appeals to the
Allies and neutrals."
