which may require the creation of buff

be called remuneration.
France will insist that so far as the
left bank of the Rhine farther TO the
north is concerned, the conference
should forbid military works of any
kind-barracks, hridgeheads. forts and
fortresses-in that zone. The feeling
is that the people inhabiting that zone

France, form an independent state, or
return TO Germany.
The French bill for reparation is not
complete, but it has been announced in

be about 66,000,OO0,O00 francs ($13,-
200.000000).

Washington-The story OF Ger
many's supreme effort for military VIC
tory in the spring OF 1918, of Amer
lean Intervention on the western
front and of the ultimate crushing de-
feat OF the enemy and the apparent
humiliation OF nearly one-half of his
lighting force was graphically told in
figures made public by the war de-
partment.
They dealt with the rifle strength"
of the Allies and the German forces
on the western front in monthly per-
iods from April l to November 1,
and were prepared by the intelligence
division of the general stan OF the
American army in France.
BY rifle strength was meant the
number of men standing in the
trench ready TO go over with the
bayonet.' When Germany struck its
great blow last spring, it had 1.5O0,-
900 men so classified against an Allied
total of $1,25O,OOO.
BY June ! the Germans reached
their peak with 1,639,000 rifles. but
despite the terrific pressure they
were exerting against the Allied lines,
American and was overcoming the
handicap and made possible the count
er-blow delivered in July.
The Allied strength. June l, was
/ 5000. Shortly afterwards the
Allies reached a total of 1,547,000
composed OF $4,000 French. $4,000
British and 254,O00 Americans. Amer
ica's contribution had risen from
SIS, 900 in April.
On July /, Germany's power had
begun to wane, and for the first time
it was definitely inferior in rife
strength with 1.4l2,0O0, compared to
1.556.0o0 for the Allies.
Up TO September l the Allied
strength continued to gain despite the
desperate counter-attack which was
being driven forward all along the
line. In mid-October the American
strength had risen to an estimated
force of $4,000. On September l the
Allied line was at its creates:
strength with l,6S2,0OO, against Ger.
many's 1,339,000.
While the Allies had shrunk in
rifles to 1,4S5,000 on November /,
Germany's last hope was gone as she
faced that army with Only $4,000
bayonets.
On November IL, 1918, the report
showed the United States had in its
military and naval service 4,791,172
men, or 10 per cent of the male popu.
lation On the same day England had
already called to the colors 5,S54,359,
or nearly so per cent.
The final official total for all reg
istrations was 24,234,O21. OF these
3,20S,446 had been actually examined
and practically 80 men out Of every
100 were found to be physically dis
qualified.
