NOT VAST ARMIES

On one important aspect the
military operations of the Boil
shevist government of Russia are
grossly exaggerated by millions
of anxious watchers OF European
events in this country. There is a
widespread belief that the red
hordes are much larger than they
have ever been.
Compared with the forces
which were in action during the
world wsr. the Russian and Polish
armies are so small as TO look al
most insignificant. Careful esti.
mates made at the headquarters
If the American army of occupa-
tion, in Germany, very recently,
placed the Bolshevist strength on
the entire Polish front at only
about 10000 men, The Poles
were believed to have 100000 III
round numbers.
In the face of such tremendous
military power as Marshal Foch
welded in the last months of the
.prodigiuos conflict in France and
Belgium, a Bolshevist army of
100000 men would be but feeble
thing Ii would be swept away
like dry grass in prairie fire
And SO of the report that
I4enine has offered to put 100000
men into action in Persia, Turkey
and other countries Of western
and southern Asia, to aid Moslem
foes of Great Britain. What
would 100000 men amount to in
such a war as the world watched
from midsummer, in 1914, until
November. l9lsP In that enorm-
Gus struggle England obtained
over million fighting men, first
and last, from India. Little Scot
land furnished about $4,000
soldiers. Canada sent nearly
