WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Nov. 5—That Germany
has ever realized that the war must
be fought out on the French front is
indicated both by the manner in which
she has steadily increased her origi
nal number of divisions there and by
the special concentrations she has
j made for her big western offensive
| movements.
The number of divisions on the
i western front is now nearly twice that
I with which Germany began the war
with, while for special offensives;
there Germany has occasionally con- •
centrated as high as seventy-five per
cent, of her entire fighting force.
On August 1, 1914 when Germany
had completed the mobilization of her
troops she deemed necessary, she
launched on both the French and the
Russian fronts a total of 123 divisions,
j By hurling 96 of these divisions
against the French she counted upon
a speedy crushing of France and then
by hastily transferring them to the
Russian front where she had original
ly sent only 26% divisions on ending
•the war on both fronts in her favor,
i The unexpected resistance which
Germany met with on both fronts
and the delay caused by the Belgians
ended forever Germany's dream. She
was forced to begin immediately the
increasing of her divisions on both
the French and the Russian fronts to
meet the steady increase there in the
Allied armies.
Both in the operation of increase in
fighting forces on both fronts and in
the degree of concehtrat&n for spe
cial offensive, the statistics show that
Germany has ever made her greatest
efforts against the French front. The
gradual increase in the German fight
ing forces on both the French and the
Russian fronts, together with the con
centrations made for all the big of
fensives on both fronts is shown in
the following table.

that Germany continue at all times the
