"The Germans, from a Gate shortly
after the outbreak of the war, supplied
the losses In their first line and reserve
troops from the second, and even tho
third line, so that It la safer to regard
all the German troops In the fighting
line as much of the same quality as in
the first few months of the war.
"It is calculated that the first line
troops lost about W per cent in casual
ties and the reserve about 26 per cent,
their plates being taken by recruits
from the 1914 class and from other cate
gories and reformed units, including the
1916 clasa of recruits.
