H. JLUIN SAKS SUPREMACY OF
ALLIES ON SEA IS ABSOLUTE
H. Maluin, wife and child, ar
rived Wednesday morning on the
Princess Alice, enroute to Atlin,
where they have mining interests
on Otter creek, having left Paris
on the. 15th of May.
Mr. Maluin, when interviewed by
a representative of the Daily Alas
lean, stated: 1
"Regarding conditions in Prance,
the Deople of that country have
settled down for a war to last un
til the end of 1916, any way. When
we left France all preparations
were being made for another win
ter campaign. The people ol Prance
realizing that the war would .last
longer than was at first expected,
are now all quiet.and .working with
all their energy in their respective
capao'ties towards achieving success.
The French army actually at 'the
front numbers about 1,500,000 men;
tho reserves,. in readiness to fight
a' :i moment's notice, number about
2,000,000 .men, and there are about
800,000 men who have not yet been
called. ■ It is apparent frjin this
that there is an ample number.of
■mi to hold the Germans in check;
i.-. fact, two-thirds of .France's miii
tu«-y forces are not doing any fight
ins; at the.present time.
me sum© may ue suiu 01 • iuc
British troops, the.nunler of their
men actually at the front cannot
exceed 200,000, as thb front held
bv the British forces is 32 miles.
By having one man touching the
next one in the trenches; it does
not take more than 50,000 men
in the first line of trenches to
hold 32.miles of front. The others
are in t'<e reserves. The total num
ber of trained British, tioops is, of
course, larger than 200^000 and
some ♦ are disseminated in the
northern part of France, at different
bases in large camps awaiting the
moment that they will be needed.
There are also hundreds of thous
ands of British troops .in India,
Egypt, all British colonies, at
the Dardanelles, In the Gulf of
Persia, etc.
"The actual organization of both
the French and the English troops
is as perfect in every way as were
the German and Austro-Hungarian
organizations in the beginning. The
only handicap the alliec have in a
general advance to drive the invad
ers cut of France and Belgium is
the lack of ammunition, artillery
and other war materials. Neverthe
less, they are overcoming this draw
back at a great rate of speed and
new factories have been built and
machine shops erected for the pur
pose o" supplying the increased de
mand, •while existing factories have
been enlarged. This Is being done
In England as well as In France,
and ammunition and war material of
all kinds is now beginning to ac
cumulate. It will undoubtedly,
however, and in spite of the utmost
efforts, be a long time .before the
ammunition in reserve will be plenti
ful enough to justify a general at
tack against the German positions,
because whenever this attack.is be
sun it will have to be kept up
nigh' a"d day by the allies if lit is
to ultimately prove successful:
"A* the Dardanelles the allies
have ssttlod down for a. long Biege.
The difficulties of operations there
"na«e heen fully realized, but there
can be no doubt that they will
eventually result .In upenlng the
strai'i and in the fall of Constan
tinople. As to the probable dura
tion of operations there one can
say but little—it may take months,
or it may be accomplished in a few
weeks.
me utci 01 itaiy joiumg m i"o
war has not yet had any perceptible
effect en the other .allies' fronts
and will not for a while. The Ger
mans and Austrlans have had all
the time oa the Italian frontier
enough men to act on the defensive
against any attack that Italy might
make and, therefore, have not yet
found it necessary to transfer men
•fro a tne othar fronts. If they
have to do bo In the.future it will
undoubtedly relieve tte pressure on
Hie French and Russian fronts.
Russia has lately been com
pelled to retreat along her Galician
front, but her avmies .have not
been defeated.
"Russia has today as many
men in the field as she ever had,
and it is only a matter of .time
when she will regain the lost
ground, ! This is the sixth time
that the Austro-German offensive,
strongly delivered at one point, has
succeeded in forcing back the Rus
sians, but each time the Russians
have come back just as strong as
before. The aim of Russian strat
egy is not at present to acquire ter
ri'ory, but to hold on the Eastern
front all of the force^ that are now
opposed to her there, so as to .pre
vent any of those troops being
sent to help on the western front.
After nine months of campaign, the
Austro-Germans have, not been
able to reduce the number of their
troops on the Russian front, but on
•he contrary have had to continu
ously send reinforcements, together
with large quantities of ammunition
