sources of the nations associated In
the war against the German govern
ment, hut there was some doubt as
to the extehl of the participation ho
far as man power Is concerned.
That doubt has been removed by
the vigor with which thee United
States government has proceeded In
raising a national anuj\ It was no

the majority as well as thv judgment
of the military exports.
Twenty-six thousand now but well
trained and coni|H'tent officers have
been provided for the army, which
lu a few weeks will be under train
ing In the cantonments. At least 20,

for January.
It was a stupendous task that fa<vd
the military authorities of the United
States at the beginning of the war.
The size of the regular army was in
significant. There was a dearth of
officers. Germany,j gleefully Insisted
that It would be Impossible to provide
officers, equipment and supplies for a
large army In the United .States, Even
conscription, the Gorman government
argued, meant merely a paper army.

greatest potential factor In the world
