WAR STRENGTH
AEROPLANES AND MEN GERMAN PAPER’S ESTIMATES. FIGURES OF RECENT INCREASE. (Independent Cable Service.) (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) BERLIN, February 20. The military publication “Deutschewehr,” in estimating the relative war capacities of other Powers, gives Russia 9,000 planes and 11.000,000 men, the United States, 3,700 planes and 2.500,000 men; Britain, 6000 planes and 2,000,000 men; France 5 000 planes and 5,500,000 men; Italy 4.000 planes and 2,000,000 men; Japan, 2,700 planes and 1,500,000 men. The paper estimates the number of British planes as 2.000 higher than last year, and the Italian only 200 more, while France is given 300 fewer. The British figures do not include the Dominions, a “reliable estimate of the armed strength of the British Empire being hardly possible.”
