GERMAN ARMY IN WEST It Composed of More Than Half of Teutonic In Field. Furls, Aug. German armyj on the western front, according to au-; tboritative sources here, consists of! 122 divisions, comprising much more- than half the German forces in the 1 field. i The precise strength of the divisions i is unknown, some consisting of twoi brigades and others of three. Two brigade divisions a war fowling; have 14,000 men, and three brigade divisions, 21,000, hence the strength of the force on this front; assumed to be somewhere between: 1,700,000 and 2,500,000.

Numerous prisoners recently taken are of the 1917 class, that is, from. 19! to 20 yean old. It appears that Germany transfer- red 23 divisions from the eastern to: the western front at the conclusion of the Russian campaign in the autumn of 1915. Only four divisions were withdrawn from this front in Jane and sent to Galicia to help hold back the Hussion invasion. The simultaneous pressure on both by the entente allies thus prevents the transfer of troop? from one frontier to another.
