Colonel Repiugtcn's figures have aroused some controversy. The military correspondent of the "Evening Standard," which is the leader of tho optimists, claims that' Colonel Repington has under-estimated Germany's losses by a million._ Quoting Mr. Hilaire Belloc, the Swiss Colonel Feyler, and others, the critics' principal attacks arc directed at Colonel Repington's statement of the losses for January—36,ooo. They point out that the Germans were engaged in three theatres, in bad weather, the French alone capturing 1300 ltnwo'unded in Alsace. The critics admit that the whole policy of the Allies depends on the extent of the German man-power, since the Allies, when they were capable of defining their plans, deliberately embarked oil a war of ai.trition.
