3 APRIL 1915, Page 3

The seventh part of the French official review of the

war was published in the papers of Monday. It is mainly interesting for its estimate of the wastage of the German forces. It is calculated that daring the first five months of the war Germany lost 1,300,000 men. This means 260,000 men a month. It is computed that Germany has now no more than 2,400,000 upon whom she can draw. The supplies of men for 1915 can hardly be expected, therefore, to last for more than ten months of war. Germany, it is concluded, has reached the maximum of possible effort.
