When the great German drive was
launched IN the spring OF 1918 the
enemy had a definite superiority OF

upon which the table is based is made
clear by the fact that an American

rated as 1880 rihes
The departments table shows that
the rush OF American troops to .u-

was launched not only succeeded in
making good all allied losses from
month to month at the front but
steadily increased the strength OF the
