THE POSITION REVIEWED
BY MILITARY AUTHORITY. (Reuter' s Telegram s.) (Received Last Night, 8 o'clock.) LONODN, Feb. 6. A high, military authority in reviewing the position says that although Germany was never so. strong on the West front, she was not yet numerically equal to the AngloFrench. The situation need not cause any grave anxiety. We must be prepared and not alarmed. The enemy was trying to create the belief amoaig the Allies that England was full of troops. This was an ingenious lie. There were over a. million khaki men in Englaaid, but England was the main baso of the Empire for the war. The million included all the casualties amd also those who were working all organisations in connection with the army, besides a hundred thousand on leave, but the biggest total was the men in training. The total British casualties in 1917 exceeded a million.
