 Compared With Allied
 Strength of Is, 100000
By Associated Fress


 Washington, April 5.-The central powers faced odds of greater than two to one in mo- r6ilized troops when Germany gaze up the fight last Novem- Der. The estimated aggregate strength of the enemy powers at that time, according to off cial estimates made public to- day by General March, chief of staff, was 7,630,000. The indi- cated aggregate allied strength on the date was more than 16,- 100000.
 The situation is disclosed in the fig ures received by the war department from France giving the present status of the belligerent armies. They show the central powers on March had un der arms 1,125,000 men, while the allied forces aggregated 13, ,366,000.
 Following is General March's state nent:
 We have received from France some rather interesting figures about the de- mobilization of the central powers and the demobilization of the entire allied forces to include February. The de- mobilization has been going on, of course, since then, but the figures show what has been happening over there. The central powers figures are:

 on Nov. Il. reduced to Bulgaria .......... 100000 129,00e Germany ..........4,5 4,500,000 S20,000 Turkey ....'...'... aoo,oVo ao'ooo ''The total force of the central pow CTS on November Il was estimated as T,630,000. This had been reduced to in- clude to February to 1,125,o00, or to Is per cent of their strength On the same day on which this report was made the strength of the allied forces was 13,366,000, or 75 per cent of the strength which they had on Novem- Der H."
 Turning to demobilzation of the American army, General March said the second anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the world war found the restoration of American man hood to civil life more than 40 per cent complete. On returns up to April 1 the army had been reduced to an az gregate strength of 2,055,71S. For that force General March has set a mark of 310,000 discharges per month toward which progress is being made. Actual discharges up to and including April aggregated 1,624,171 officers and men.
