largesi during war
A letter to the Secretary oX .War
from M. Andre T&rdieu, high com
missioner of the French, Republic,
Uogling witti eoaditiens la France,
and tlj© renly oX Mr, Baker follow:
July 30, 1917.
Dfiar Mr. Baker: 1 brought to
your knowledge in a recent talk the
surprise i felt in reading so often,
in, American, newspapers some utter
ly inaccurate Information regarding
the military conditions prevailing in
Europe and ejpeciaUy iu the French
Army,
In connection with our conversa
tion, 1 beilievo it would t>g of inter
est to present to you same figures
which, better than any. comments,
will expose to you the reality. These
figures will show you France as
she is, vigorous sad powerful, iu
spite oX three years of suffering
without precedent in history.
The strength in men now proa
out in the zone of the armies alone
shows the maximum figure reached
during the war.
This figure, which amounts to
» little less than 3,000,000 men,
exceeds by over a million the num
ber of men actually in the said
zone at the beginning, and one
must add to that figure the men,
in the zone of the Interior and in
the colonies.
We are certain with the roaourc- !
es of our metropolitan, and colonial
depots 'o be able to maintain that
number up to its present level for
a Ions time to come.
Our strength la men, by reason of
a better command, and of better
methods of instruction, baa shown,
since th«> beginiiing[of tha war, con
stantly decreasing definitive casu
alties (killed, missing, and thoee
taken prisoners).
The following figures substantiate
this:,
Percent of casualties in propor
tion to mobilized strength.

Tougher Than Steel.'
That's how tough the coles on these "Hipress" boots
and shoes are!
In gold mines and coal mines from frigid Alaska to
sunny Arizona, miners are every day proving that the soles
on "Hipress" boots and shoes actually outwear steel.
They've absolutely put an
end to hob-nailed soles.
What is this footwear mate
rial that out-wears steel? It's
Goodrich Automobile Tire
Rubber—far famed as the long
est wearing, strongest material
ever invented.
Every "H'press" boot or
«shfip is iust O.is ujliJ Puce of
this rubber—Molded, not stuck
together layer by layer—to fit
your foot. No cracks—no peel
ing—no leaks—solid comfort!
That's the kind of a boot
for your wopk, Mr. Miner.
Accept no substitute. Insist
upon genuine "Hipress" —
look for the "Red"Erne'round
the Top."
