The enormous size of the war costs and debt is further illustrated by comparison with the ante-war debt of the seven principal belligerents, which did not exceed $25,000,000,000. The cost of supporting this debt was only j about. $1,000,000,000 a year.

Military reasons heretofore have - prevented accentuating the accomplishments of the Americans, except in a most general manner. The dis- . patches from the field have been nee- < essarily fragmentary and possibly j were overshadowed by the accounts 1 of the more dramatic operations over j the historic battlefronts to the west! ! . Rut it now may be stated that 21 J American divisions, totalling more , than 750,000 American combat troops. \ participated in the action beginning j September 26. known variously as the I buttle of the ArgAnne and the battle , of the Mouse, but which history may j call Sedan?the battle that brought !

' i i So far as knowu at the American! headquarters no disposition has hem j dislaved to block at any point that I part of the agreement providing fjr ' the withdrawal of the German troops.) It is realized that the reversing of , the gears of the great broken Gerui.tn j | machine will not be simple. There would have been no surprise j ( among American officers had the tier- j man front remained aJmost unchang- I ed, but already there appears to ' have been left immediately in front of the Americans little more than a1 | fringe of soldiers. ? The Germans reluctantly abandoned their efTorts to continue fraternization where the lines still were in proximity, but threats to hold as pris- 1 oners any one approaching the Auieri- ' can lines practically stopped their ' visits. 1 Behind the American line the acliv- | ily of the supply trains continues and ; the troops mobilized at the front settled down to routine duty. There was ( an increasing number of leaves of absence, however, and the towns in the rear where troops are stationed j were gayer than at any time since the beginning of the war.

The French publicist asserted that the equ'pment specified in the armistice terms Is necessary to the rationing of the ? ivilion populations of Belgium and northern France "who have been starred and robbed of all they possessed by the German armies of occupation."
