WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
AFIELD. Nov. 3—By an Intensity of
mobilization that has drained Ger
many dry of every man capable of
military service, the German fighting
divisions on the French and Russian
fronts have been practically doubled
since Augustl, 1914.
Despite the gigantic effort. France
England and Russia, the three origi
nal Allies, have in every way kep
pace, with the result that at the pre
sent time they still have the numer
ical superiority in the fighting forces
In addition, it has been definitely es
tablished that the military of the al
lied armies, as constituted at the pre
’sent time, is constantly on the in
crease, while that of the German army
is unmiatakably on the decline.
Since the beginning of the war the
new Allies that have joined France,
England and Russia have far exceeded
in the reinforcement of troops which
they have added to the Allied cause,
those brought to Germany by the Al
lies won over to her side.
On August 1, 1914, when Germany
had mobilized to the extent she had
deemed necessary to win the war,
she threw on to the French and the
Russian fronts, 123 fighting divisions
constituted on a basis of four regi
ments to the division. By first crush
ing France with the bulk of these and
then throwing thorn to the Russian
front by means of her system of strat
egic railways, she counted on a quick
and complete victory.
' V-UIUCI , WUCll UIC 1/llL
tie of the Yser was being fought, sho
,had found it necessary to increase
her fighting lines on the two fronts
to 137 to the division.
In September of 1915, towards the
close of the Russian campaign, the
German divisions on the two fronts
had been increased to 170. By this
J time, Germany began to feel the pres
. sure on her for new divisions, and to
permit of this she began the gradual
transformation of her divisions to a
basis of three regiments each instead
of four. The extra regiment thus went
to constitue the new division.
Towards the middle of the attack
on Verdun, about June 1916. all of the
German divisions had been "reduced to
the basis of three regiments only.
By this change, and by a constant fine
combing of the Empire for available
men. Germany wa» able to augment
her divisions on the eastern and the
western fighting fronts to 173.
The fall and winter of 1916 wit
nesser Hindeuburg's colossal effort
at mobilization and the creation of
new divisions. His plans Included
■ the incorporation of the Inhabitants
of Serbia, Poland and other conquer
1 ed districts. As early as December
of 1916, his efforts had permitted an
r increase in the fighting divisions of
c the two fronts to 208.
* By July 1917, at the end of the big
r French and English spring offensive
Hindenburg had attained 234 divisions
f and on September 1, at the time Ger
many undertook her counter offen
sive on the Russian front, a maximum
of 239 fightifig divisions had been
thrown on to the two fronts by the
1 Germans.
\ ooinni tkn KIO _ll-.i-i__
which Germany threw on the French
r and Russian fronts with the begin
b ninK of hostilities she now has there
i- 239 divisions. Owing to the fact that
I, these latter are exclusively on a ba
sis of three regiments to a division
: instead of four as at the beginning
the figures are a trifle deceptive.
A more accurate idea can be had
by reckoning in batalliona as batul
lions have approximately 1,000 men
although it is definitely known that
hundreds of the German batalliona
are now far below this number. On
this basis, Germany started her cam
paign on the French and the Russian
fronts with 1,512 batiilions. This num
ber has- now been increased to 2,334.
These fighting units of course do not
take into account the millions of men
employed in service behind the lines.
This titanic increase is in no way
| discouraging to Allied Military auth
orities because they happen to know
that their own creation of fighting
units has no equal. Other respects of
the situation are also encouraging.
