SitSjlet: Comment OD the U.I.S. Estimates of German Losses.
The U.I.S. estimate of uerman battle losses is
based on the use of standard daily hospital admission
rates. These are multiplied against average strength
to get average daily admissions, and the result is
mmItiplied against total days to get total admissions.
The number of men killed it action and missing is de-
rived by the use of standard ratios of killed, etc., to
hospital admissionn from battle causes.
WAIXAML.L.Isot.P.BILM
It is evident that much depends upon the admission
rots selected. As U41.8 remarks, these are difficult

Inasmuch as 141,6. specifically mentions the necessity
of imodifying World War rates in the ligbt of known

know what modirioations have been introduced in ar-

Tao term "battle strength" is used and a figure of
210,000 men per division is applied to arrive at
"battle strength*" This figure of 20,000 men per divi-
sion evidently excludes a considerable part of the
forces OA which Um World War rates are based. The
World War rates are not based on "battle Strength," but
(IA the, case ot the U.S. Army) on the entire Akt.L.V.

the case of the Germnu army, the rates are based on the

La order to keep this newly aroused morale oprntivp.
The validity of my assumption that a large number
of Germans secretly or unmneciously hoped that the
democracies mould save them might be questioned. From
a psychological point of view the answer is relatively
stapie. The German propagandists have always shown nn
waxing insight con4orning the secret hopes aid fears
of their people. If they were net reasonably suru tl'at
this expectation existed at the present time tho woeld
not take such pains to point up our inability to copc
with this danger. From a pure "Strength through fenr"
point of view It would be to their advantage to play up
the deager of invasion from the south as mil as fron
the cast.
It might aio be pointed out that, like many of

building up Cheir awn morKle while attempting to destroy
