ALLIED ARMIES
TREMENDOUS INCREASES IN STRENGTH BRITISH & FRENCH VIEV/S. EXTENSIONS OF MAGINOT LINE. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Received This Day, at noon.) LONDON. January 12. There have been tremendous increases in the strength of the Allied armies, according to two distinguished soldiers. Sir Charles Gwynn told the Associated Press that 50,000 well trained men have been added to Britain’s fightingstrength since the outbreak of war. Some 200,000 members of the militia completed their training before January and a second group is well advanced. An increasingly large number of training camps are operating. General Duval, in an article in the "Paris Journal." is convinced that Germany will not dispose of more divisions than the Allies next spring. The Maginot Line will be prolonged westwards to the North Sea and eastwards almost to the Jura. A German manoeuvre through Belgium or Switzerland really would mean only a German frontal attack on a more extended front.
