NUMBERS GERMAN ARMY
AT NEAR A MILLION MEN
British War Office Makes Estimate; I;
Reduction to Required 1OO,-
600 Is Proceeding.

LONDON. January 1.-Germany's
armed forces are estimated by the
British war office to total close to a
million men,
These are divided into the regular
army OF 100000: the land forces Of the
regular navy, 10000; the armed con-
stabulary 10000 to $4,000; the tenn
porary volunteers or regular army re-
serves, 100000 to 200. 900; civic guards,
800. 600 to 100000.
Under the terms of the peace
treaty Germany il compelled to re-
duce her regular forces to 100000 by
March 81. and the number of gen.
darmes must not exceed those func-
tioning as military police in 1913.
The reduction of the regular army
in compliance with the treaty obli-
cations is proceeding, although at a
slower pace than was originally con-
templated. owing to the delay in rat
if1cation of the peace treaty. the un-
settled state of Germany and the de-
sire of the German government not to
increase the number of persons un-
employed
British army officers returning
from Germany declare there is no
truth in the stories that Germany
has secret, mobile army.
Manufacture of arms and muni-
degree. they say, and there is a great
shortage of such raw materials as are
necessary for warfare.
1t is stated in well informed cir
cles in London that the allies will
insist that the volunteers and civil
guards be abolished. 1t 10 conceded,
however. that the maintenance of a
constabulary is necessary.
Army officers are said to believe
that considerable ground exists for
Germany's claim that she needs a
regular army of moro than 100000,
as this force would be very small for
a country so great in extent.
