GERMANY’S WASTAGE OF MEN.
.A semiofficial French statement was recently issued to the fallowing effect : —‘‘dermaay’s resources in men are disappearing more rapidly every day. The new formations resorted to in 1914 and last year in the iiope of striking decisive blows have been absorbed by the lengthening of the Teutonic fronts. Since May last men of the 1917 class have been drawn from various parts of Germany and sent to tjie depots behind the front, whilst in several corps members of this class are already doing service, and we have taken some of them prisoners. In South Germany and in the Dresden district the depots have been emptied in order to make room for the 1918 class, the first incorporations of which have already lakep place. In France, on the other hand, the 1917 class in still in the interior, and we have not yet contemplated the caliing-np of the 1918 class.”
