coming the hndicaap and made pos
sible the counter blow delivered in
July.
The allied rifle strength on June l
was 1,496,OOO. Shortly afterwards the
allies reached total of 1,547 900,
composed of 77S,OO0 French, $4,000
British, and 254,OOO Americans.
Americas contribution had risen from
$4,000 in April. On July Germany's
power had begn to wane and for the
first time it was definitely inferior in
rifle strength with 1,412,O00, com
pared to 1,556,OOO for the allies.
Up to September the allied
strength continued to gain despite the
desperate counter attack which was
being driven forward all along the
line. INN id-October the American
strength had risen to an estimated
force of 100000. On September l the
allied line was at its greatest strength
with 17,6S2,OOO, against Germany's l.
339, 900.
While the allies had shrunk in rifles
to 1,4S5,OOO on November l, Germany's
last hope was gone, as she faced that
army with only $4,000 bayonets.
The sudden decline of the German
forces, beginning in June and again
apparent in the swift drop during Oc-
tober, was accounted for by the fact
that she had drawn into the lines dur
ing the spring every available reserve,
expecting to smash her way to victory
before winter came. These reserves
were used up in the German attack
and the allied assaults which followed
while the American force continued to
increase.
In a rough way the American rife
strength has represented about 20 per
cent. of the total American force in
France continuously This accounts
for the fact that with total of more
than 100000 men in France on No
vember II, the rife strength in Octo-
Der was estimated at around 100000
men.
The total strength of the United
States army on November II, when
the armistice was signed and when
the American war effort was at its
peak, was 3,703,273 officers and men,
including the marine corps on duty
with the army in Europe.
On that date the American army in
Europe was composed of SO,S42 Of
ficers and 1,S6,S474 men, while 1.162
officers and 21,072 men were at sea
en- route to Europe. The marine con-
tingent in the expeditionaary force on
that date was 1909 officers and 1888
men, making the total European army
strength either in France or en- route
there 2,OO4,93 officers and men.
In the United States on that date
we're 1854. 400 army personnel lnI o

VALUE Of KENTUCKY
LIVE STOCK INCREASES
Government Reports Show That VAL
ne Of LlyestOsck In This State

Livestock on farms in Kentucky
January l, 1919, was worth $l77,396,-
900 compared to $15S,5S70OO January
1, 1918. This was due partly to in
creased numbers of all stock except
horses, which decreased slightly dur
ing the year, and partly to greater
value per head of all kinds of live
stock in Kentucky compared to prices
January l, 1918. The percentage of
increase in value was greatest on milk
cows and sheep.
Horses are very little more valuable
than in January 1918, the average
price being $1O4 this year compared
to SOL last year. The average price
of milk COWS is $72 head compared
to s61 in January 1918; other cattle
$42.50 compared to sS9; hogs SIG a
head compared to $14.5O last year !;
sheep $3.50 head compared TO
$11.20 last year; and mules $127 COM
pared to 1922.
During 1918 hogs on farms in Ken
lucky increased in number from l.
$4,000 to 1,76S,OOO on January 1
1919; sheep from from l,213,OOO to L.

BIG sun TO FIGHT Fill.

cording to medical authorities.
Representative FesS, of ONO.
told the House this week.
Fess and Senator Harding. Of
Ohio. have introduced measures
embodying the recommendations
Fess made.
The last epidemic caused 5oo.-
600 deaths and a total economic
loss OF nearly Sl,0Oo.0oo.O00, &C
cording to figures compiled toy
the American Medical ASSocia-
ton. Fess said:
The all-important thing now
is to find cure for the disease.
This will require expensive re-
search, and | propose that the
money shall be expended under
the direction Of the Public
Health Service.
There is a general belief in
the medical world that the
second and third years will show
frightful after effects unless
specific remedies can be found.
But the appalling loss of 5oo.oo0
lives, five times our loss in the
war, with assurance that the
plague will appear again, Is
enough to arouse Us to lmme-
diate action.
at is generally believed that
success will follow the efforts OF
the medical world i'm its fight
against the epidemic Just as in
the case of yellow fever, typhus.

Fess read to the House a let
ter from Otto +. Geier, secretary
of the American Medical Assoc
citation, which stated that NOR
tally was 30 per cent. above the
normal death rate in the years
after the previous influenza cpl
denies.
Medical authorities, Geier adj

toxin for influenza is wholly de-
pendent upon the discovery of
