And there are two armies when one looks at the picture realistically the uniformed, armed body of fighting men, and the army of industrial and agricultural workers, Significantly, the industrial armies in Europe larger than in the World War, and the fighting smaller. War is more mechanized. It is are armies fought with more precision instruments, with greater | mechanical equipment, and with new weapons. This means the fire power of a regiment is much in- creased. So divisions are smaller, but have greater fighting strength by virtue of their equipment. But to provide that equipment a larger indus- trial army is needed. And this has been a particu- larly acute problem in France in the last thre. months. In England there was no_mass army, and | relatively few men were taken awdy from industry when war came—only those in the Territorials equivalent to our national guard. But France is a nation in arms, men already trained for combat. When successive conseript classes were called up, farm and factory, store and mine, Many factories had to reduce operations or even suspend produc- tion altogether, so many skilled workers and tech- nicians w mobilized. This was foreseen, and a remedy was at hand, but its application has taken some time. The skilled workers in essential industries have been released from the fighting services and sent back to their work benches. Many, many thousands have thus been withdrawn from the armies at the front, so that industrial production could be resumed and its pace accelerated to meet war needs, The British, who are just beginning to train a large conscript army, are able to use a different method.
