THE TWO ARMIES

Figures just made public by Major
General Maurice. the British military
writer. throw light on a much-dis-
cussed matter-the relative strength
OF the German and Allied armies dur
ing Foch's victorious campaign. 1t
develops that the Germans were really
beaten without any such "overwhelm-
ing superiority of numbers" as they
have represented, and Foch turned
the tide last summer with an army
much smaller than the enemy's.
When the big German offensive
started last March. the strength of all
the armies engaged stood as follows:
IL the Belgian army be rated as one,
the French army was 10 q, the British
army 10 Il and the American army a
mere 81, making total of %. The
German army stood at 90. Subsequent
gains from the East raised this to 81
IN May.
On July is. when Foch launched his
offensive. the Belgian army remained
about the same; the French army had
been reduced to IL Il and the British
to u; the American army had risen
to 8. That made the Allied total still
%, The German army had up to that
time declined very little, making up its
battle losses by new drafts. so that
when Foch delivered his blow it stood
at about 80. and was thus actually 20
per cent larger than the armies at
Foch's disposal.
Foch took the initiative. however,
secure in the knowledge that the rapid
growth of the American army would
soon turn the scale. From July Is on,
the German army declined fast be-
cause it had to fight continuously, al
most everywhere, with no reserves to
make good its losses. By November

JUSTICE TO LABOR

There was sound sense in the ad-
vice of Secretary of Commerce Red
field TO the convention of the Chamber
of Commerce OF the United States, at
Atlantic City:
Beware OF the temptation TO lay
rash hands upon wages. Concentrate
thought, purpose and effort on out
put.
Find and seize hold of all that
science has said or can say concerning
industry. II was largely because Ger
many made her industries the operat-
ing end of her science that her COM
merce grew so fast and powerful in
the years before the great war.
ct was more German science than
German wages that made her COM
petition dangerous. The responsive
power of well paid and contented la
Dor to far-sighted leadership in in
dustry is the greatest force in produc-
ton. and happy are they who have it
behind them"
Charles NJ Schwab. hailed at the
convention as Americas greatest
business man." gave similar advice.
He insisted on employers recognizing
that the men in the factories and
mills and mines must have more of the
general prosperity. in practice as well
as in theory The imperative need of
the period of transition, he said, is to
keep the men of the country en-
ployed. at profitable wages; and this
must be done for social as well as
economic reasons even though it
should result in manufacturers having
to go along for time on shortened
profits"
Ii is pleasant TO add that the thou
sands of business men assembled
cheered this utterance. And there was
more than mere generosity and pub
lie spirit in their attitude They rec
ognized the force of Mr. Schwab's
prophecy that. with proper handling of
the present situation, there lies ahead
a greater prosperity than our people
have ever dreamed Of

It is interesting TO learn that at the
close of hostilfties. though We had only
begun TO throw our weight into the
struggle, the effective American army
was 60 per cent as large as the French
and rs per cent as large as the British.
BY next summer 1t would have exceed

JUDGE b.. BETHURUM AN.
NOUNCES FOR us. SENATOR

Judge B. J. Bethurum, of Som
erset, for years CONSPICUOUS fig
! ure in the Republican party in
Kentucky, will be candidate for
the Republican nomination for
, United States senator in the Au-
gust primary.
Assurance that he will make
the race was given by Judge Be.
thurum himself yesterday, when
he was in Louisville for a few
hours in conference with friends
and associates here. While for
NAL announcement of his candi.
dacy may not be made for some
time, it is known that Judge Be-
thurum has definitely decided TO
enter the primary and will be a
strong factor in the contest for
the Republican nomination.
Carrying unusual strength
thruout the Eleventh, his home
district, which is the Kentucky
stronghold of Republicanism,
Judge Bethurum will call to his
banner a big following all over
the stated n the party fight for the
nomination.
Since he entered the practice of
law when FL years of age, Judge
Bethurum has been prominent in
legal circles of the state, and for
two terms has been circuit Judge
in the district composed of Cliu-
ton, Wayne, Rockcastle and Pu-
laski counties. Both at the bar
and on the bench his record has
been an enviable one. Judge
Bethurum is known as relent-
less foe of illegal liquor traffic
from the district in which he pre-
sides.
The only other avowed candi
date for the Republican nominal
ton is DR.. Ben L. Bruner, o
Louisville. Judge Mckenzie
Moss, of Bowling Green, who
was recently prominently men.
toned in connection with the
toga race, is understood to have
informed his friends that he can
not consider making the fight.
Others who have been discussed
as probable candidates are Judge
Charles Kerr, of Lexington, and
Judge E. &. O'Rear, of Frankfort.
