eight months of the war were re-

They show that up to July | the
allies were Outnumbered from
100000 to 100000, but that they
reached their peak on Septem-
her |, when they had 1852 900

Rife strength Is the number
Of "men In the trenches ready

American division Of $1,000 COM
bat troops is 12,250. This shows
that the actual armies on the
western front totaled more than
twice as many as the rifle
strength figures.
During the hard fighting from

losses were appalling, the fig
