Total of 3,703,273 Officers and Men Made Up the American Fighting Forces When Armistice Was Signed, November 11. Washington. The story of Ger many's supreme effort for military vic tory in the spring of 1918, of Ameri can intervention on the western front and of the ultimate crushing defeat of the enemy and the apparent annihilation of nearly one-haof his fighting force was graphically told In figures made public on February 5 by the war department. They dealt with the "rifle strength" of the allies and the German forces on the western front In monthly periods from April 1 to November 1, and were prepared by the intelligence division of the general staff of the American army in France. By rifle strength was meant the "number of men standing in the trench ready to go over with the bar onet." When Germany struck its great blow last spring It had a million and a half men so classified against an allied total of a million and a quarter. By June 1 the Germans reached their peak with 1,639,000 rifles, but, despite the terrific pressure they were exerting against the allied lines, American aid was overcoming the handicap and made possible the counter-blodelivered in July. German Power Wanes. The allied strength on June 1 was 1,496,000. Shortly afterwards the allies reached a total of 1.547.000. composed of 778,000 French, 515,000 British and 254,000 American. America's contribution had risen from 65.- 000 in April. On July 1, Germany's power had begun to wane and for the first time it was definitely inferior in rifle strength, with 1,412,000, compared to 1,556,000 for the allies. Up to September 1 the allied strength continued to gain, despite the desperate counter-attac- k which was be ing driven forward all along the line. In the American streneth had risen to an estimated force of 350,000. On September 1 the allied line was at Its greatest streneth. with 1,682,000, against Germany's 1,339,000. While the allies had shrunk in rifles to 1,485,000 on November 1. German v s last hope was gone, as she faced that army with only 866,000 bayonets. The American Strength. The total strength of the United States army on November 11, when the armistice was signed and when the American war effort was at its nenfc wtth 3.703,273 officers and men in cluding the marine corps on duty with the army in Europe.
