That is almost as large a total as Russia might offer. It is larger by two-thirds than the whole forces the German Empire has put in the field. Yet her men have been able to hold half the world at bay. The power in numbers of our nation is unconquerable. What our power in actual fighting ability is rests with the stamina...
