This is the force that has grown in eight months out of an army that on April 1 numbered only 110,900 men. Most of them are still in the train- i camps. Many of them are not yet disciplined troops, fully cquipped and armed for battle. But there they are. 1.360,000 them, alveady one, of the. bigg factors Hindenburg is / reckoning with for the campaign off 1918, To lead them there are over $0,000 officers. When, the graduates of the second training camp get their firs orders the. number will be 100.000—as many officers s were privates nine months ago. The whole military establishment, with ‘the marines and the auxiliary forces thrown in, numbers a million and a half. The expansion that has taken place is as if Grand Rapids had grown in eight months to be vir- tually as big as Philadelphia. Since Xerxes led his million half of assorted Asiatics acro Hellespont, Europe has seen r 2 5 1 campaign conducted on a grand scale. 1’*’;‘:2‘3‘ ;(:»‘l;d-“v‘:.““““ Clothes Shob, | \merican battles have heen fought as 4 stubbornly ‘but with smaller forces 4 b i engaged.
