WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE
FIELD, May i--Aihoueh Germany
many has engaged 2,50O,Ooo men in the
present offensive 10 date, conservative
calculations show She is stlll capable
Of duplicating this offensive effort. The
Allies, however, with their new unity
Of command and superiority in fresh
reserves, coupled with the inability Of
the Germans again 10 effect a surprise,
hold the trump card
The fatal consumption Of German ef-
fectives is indicated by the fact that
while the enemy began March q with
half million men In the front line
they have been obliged since TO en-
sage I've times that number.
The Allies have identified on tue west
front 266 divisions (2,i72,0O0 mem, out
Of the Germans entire total OF 242, in
cludlng these-o other fronts. To date
the Germans have engaged ii0 separate
divisions in the present battles-many
two or three times-making a total
value OF 1856 divisions engaged
This leaves &C unengaged divisions Of
which ten are landstrum and landwehr,
incapable Of offensive work.
This prodigal use Of electives, to-
gether with General Foch's conserya-
tive use OF Allied reserves, gives the
latter more unengaged, fresh divisions
than the Germans
The most conservative estimates Of
the German losses are $4,000. 1t is
known, however, that there are still
$4,000 men in depots with which to
replace these losses, without sven CALI
ing on the class Of 1920, which ordinar-
w will not be moblllzed until Oc-
tober.
Consequently Germany can still dup
licate her offensive effort 10 date. But
once her losses exceed the above re-
serves, she Is without resource while
the daily arrival OF British, American
and Italian divisions is assuring the
Allies an lncontestable superiority and
6ual victory
