MEN FOR THE WAR.
Estimate of the Number Available
and How Computed.
i ,1
Piainly, the war In Europe has
become a contest of endurance. in
view of the fact a consideration of
the resources of the combatants be-
comes a matter of supreme interest;
and of these resources the most im-
portant. of eburse, is the. available re
serve of fighting men, says the {’hll-
adelphla Record. There are various
methods of estimating this reserve.
gtho one. most commonly employed be
?ing a simple arithmetical process. As
:suming that the males in any giver
country constitute. .onehalf of th"
population, and that the number 0
linen between 20 and 45 years of age
'l
is three- eights of the total numb‘e ‘
military
of males, thd' potential
strength is easily ascertained, Thus
Germany, with a population'of up
4proximately 70,000,000, could music“
about 13,000,000 men of military age.
if the age limit is enlarged, so as
to take in youths between the mm"
of 18 and 20, the number of avail-
abies would be increased to 15,000,-
000. This method,Ihowever, takes no
account of the economic and other
”actors of the problem. The industrial
and commercial life of a nation must
.Igo on even during. war, and men
must be left at home to do the work
whereby the men at the. front must
be maintained. Three men out of
five 'would be needed3for these pull-
poses.» leaving 0.000000 Gehnanli at
the most, for war service. .
ThisI number coincides exactly
with the number given in a state-
ment given out by the official Ger-
man press bureau at- New oYork.
According to this statement, the Ger-
man nrmy rpw in the field or ready
to march to either front consists of
twenty-seven corps of the‘ltne and
twentysevlen corps of reserves, each
corps consisting of 403000 men of all
arms. — Artillery not included in
corps formation, reberve' cavalry,
railway troops and engineers. bring
the total .of the line up to a little
over 3 ,,000 000. To these are to be add-
gdsixty-two, divisions of La'h‘dfiehr of
1.6I900; «nan - WM Landwehr ‘cmllllfy.
now» fonnatimmmndgg from"3'the
“Ersatz." about.p1.000.000.'men, 'snd
600,000 trained and organized-volun-
teers. The statement also includes
as available twenty-live "'classes" of
Landwehr and the conscripts for the
current year: but these have neither
organization nor training, and for the
reason above given, cannot be count-
ed. _ ' ,
The military critic of the New York
Ev ening Post takes the heroic effort of
France in 1870- 71 as an example of
what a nation can do when fighting in'
der nrnls about 43 per thoussddottiie
total population 'of France,t"biif the
system of recruiting set 0 foot .by
Cambetta when the nation was in ‘its,
last gasp could not have functioned
properly. France today should do very
much better. Say she could draw 8
per ,cent...of her total population to
the ‘éolors,
strength would be 3,500,000. By this
,method estimated strength of the
German army would be- rsdlloed to
5,500,000 men. The measure of Rus-
sian eflectlvntfis cannot be taken on
the same basis, for many reasons.
