Nevertheless, to-day the isb' forces numbered 10,000,000 and «re" infinitely more formidably equipvj than in 1914. Great armaments, ij aid, would always thwart tho jajue and consequently the present fcropein armaments were a gross kirk of faith with those nations ifcich hid entered the war to uphold •jiiinctity of treaties.
