EACH DAY O. FHE YEAR
BY John Kendrick Bangs.

MARCH.
I've watched old March for many a
year
With all her ways so dark and drear,
And know full well her wild bsrraEe
OF bluster is all camoufage.
She blows her blasts, and ramps
along.
And sings a mighty waT-liie song.
But underneath her Tapping wing
She hides away the joys OF spring.
And all her temper melts away
Into the smiles OF ApriIs day
As on her wayward course she goes
To flowers fresher for the SHOWS.

The battle began when 1000 govern

Machine guns and artillery were
used in the Siruggle which extended
around three sides of the city.
The fighting was extremely severe

u. S. ARMY 3,703.275
WIEN WAR ENDED
July | Allied Rifle Strength
Exceeded Germans.

Washington, Feb. 6.-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 g.
1O3,273 officers and men.
This included the marine corps on
duty with the army in Europe.
A statistical table made public by
the war department gives this figure.
Included in the table is compara-
tive statement of the strength of al
lied and German forces on the west
ern front by months, beginning April
1, 1918. 1t shows that on July l, for
the first time, the allied rifle
strength" exceeded that of the Ger
mans.
In rifle strength, which means men
standing in the trenches ready to
the allied total July 1 was 1,556,0 900,
compared with 1,412,OOO for the Ger
mans.
November 1, when the enemy's re-
serves had been exhausted and his
front line strength reduced by about
half the allies had rifle strength of
1,4S5,000. representing odds of up
wards of two to one.
From July 1 as the Americans con-
tinued to arrive, the allied superiority
showed continued growth over the
Germans, who had dropped on Novem-
Der l to a strength of S65,00O.
When the great German drive was
launched in the spring of 1918 the
enemy had a definite superiority of
approximately 20 per cent, the fig
ures for April l showing an allied
rifle strength of 1.245,GOO. and Ger
man total of 1,569OOO The Germans
reached their maximum June 1, with
100000, while the allies reached
their maximum September l, with
1,6S2,OOO.
The meaning Of this rifle strength
upon which the table is based is made
clear by the fact that an American
division, with a total strength of ap-
proximately $1,000 fighting men is
rated as 12,250 rifles.
