Show -oo -- IN Ml SHORT ! IF HUN TOWER i WASHINGTON. Sept 10 New evl-' deuce of the shortage of manpower in the German army has reached Washington Wash-ington from an authoritative source, it was learned today, showing that seven enemy divisions on the western wes-tern front had been disbanded entirely entire-ly for lack of men. There are now only 195 German divisions di-visions on the entire front, according lo tho reports, and of these there are only sixteen that have not been engaged en-gaged in the heavy fighting of the present year. In at least eight divisions divis-ions the battalion formation has been reduced to three companies from four which means a'reduction of one -fourth in the fighting strength of the divisions. |
