ALLIES RESERVES
GROWING GREATER
AS ENEMY'S SHRINK

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, May Although Ger
many has engaged two and a half
/ million men in the present offensive
to date, conservative calculations
show she is still capable OF duplicat-
ing this offensive effort.
The allies. however, with their new
unity OF command and superiority in
fresh reserves, coupled with the in
ability OF the Germans again to effect
q surprise, hold the trump card.
The fatal consumption OF German
electives is indicated by the fact that
while the enemy began March 81 with
half a million men In the front line,
they have been obliged since to en-
gage five times that number.
2o6 Divisions Identified.
The allies have Identified on the
west front zoe divisions (2,472 900
men) out OF the Germans entire
total of 242, including those on other
fronts. To date the Germans have
engaged 40 separate divisions in the
present batties-mapy two or three
times-makinE a total OF 1so divi-
sions engaged.
This leaves sixty-six unengaged, Of
which ten are landsturm and land
wshr, incapable Of offensive work.
This prodigal use Of electives, TO-
gether with General Foch's conserve
tive use OF allied reserves, gives the
latter more unengaged, fresh diyi-
SionB than the Germans.
ESQ, 900 In DePOts.
Tho most conservative estimates
Of the German losses are $4,000. 1t
is known, however, that there are
still $50 900 men in depots with which
to replace these losses, without even
calling on the class OF 1920, which
ordinarily will not be modified until
October.
Consequently, Germany can still
duplicate her offensive efforts to
date. But once her losses exceed the
above reserves, she is without re-
serves, while the daily arrival Of
British, American, and Italian divi-
sions is assuring the allies an ineon-
testabls superiority, and final victory.
