GERMANY RUNNING OUT OF MEN
AS ALLIED OFFENSIVE GROWS
Unable to- Fill Up Divisions as She Has
Done in the Past-Criticism of
General Staff Grows.
PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES. Au-
gust 10-What is the present state of
the German electives? What is the
German morale: And finally. what will
the enemy do?
Without pretending to exact knowl-
edge of these complex and important
questions. have. nevertheless. given
some study to them, and will venture
to discuss them in the order given
above.
/. German electives. The Germans
have something over 200 divisions on
this years campaign. probably about
thirty divisions only once: the rest
two, three and even four and five
times. I estimate there have been.
may be. $50 passages of divisions on
the front since March 21. At least
seventy have been engaged since
July Is.
Losses 1,ooo, 600 Since March
1t is easy to allow ones self to eN-
aggefate the enemy's losses. Expert
ence of the past shows that a German
division engaged loses on an average
of 2,200 men, some less and some
more: but this is the average.
On this basis, the German losses
since July Is have been over 10000
and the total loss since March 21 is
$4,000. or roughly speaking 100000.
The Germans may well have lost
more than this. but it is better to
underestimate than to overestimate.
To make good these losses, the ser, ,
reserves in. depots. Obviously these
are now exhausted, but OF the 1.000.-
coo casualties probably so per cent
recover from their wounds and ulti-
mate return SAT to AM shfas as, tSis nMm
ber are doubtless stin in the hospital.
so the German army at. the present
must be at least 100, ,000 men short. :.
Divisions Below Strength:
In other words, the losses suffered
by the various divisions can no long
er be promptly filled as heretofore.
Certain. divisions must remain for the
present definitely below strength. For
.he first time apparently Germany Is
running out of men. 1t is true rtha at

ICE TROUBLE OF
SILVIS IMPROVED
SAYS Dr.. TAYLOR

According to an announcement
coming this morning from the Of
fee Of Or. W. E. Taylor, county
food administrator, the ice situa-
ton which has been causing trou-
BILE in Silyis for the past five days
is somewhat improved. 1t was
Charles KehTer, well known chauf-
feur, who came to the assistance Of
the people of the village Tuesday
and yesterday. He operated an ice
truck between Moline and SilYis.
The Silvis Ice company has been
experiencing difficulty in securing
a truck operator TO transport the
ice from Moline. The manager Of
the company states, however, that
he intends to do his utmost to
maintain a supply Of ice at the COM
pany's Office.
1t was stated in these columns
several days ago that the food ad-
ministrator had taken over sup
ply OF ice, the property of the
Northwestern Brewing company in
East Moline. in order to relieve the
situation in Silvis. 1t has since de-
veloped that the company had a
small stock for which it had no use
and which it was perfectly willing
to turn over to the Moline Ice com
pany. This company. in turn, made
the supply available to the Silyis
concern.
