When the war commenced, the, Empire had 700,000 troops of all sorts, many of them only partially trained. By May, 1916, she had re- cruited for the army and navy over 5,000,000 men (rich men, poor men, etc.) voluntarily. Up to the time of the signing of the armistice she hada raised 7,500,000 men, and her army hi France was the finest equipped and trained army the world has ever seen. (4,500,000• of these were Englishmen recruited in England; 1,000,000 others cf them were Englishmen recruited else- where. Britain Lost One Million Dead. Britain's total losses have been; 3,250,000, of whom 1,000,000 have been killed. Her armies '(three quar- ters of them Englishmen) have fought in East Africa, in Italy, in Egypt, in the Balkans, have crushed the Turks in Mesopotamia and Pales tine, and latterly have held the great- er part of the Line on the Western front. The navy, which the Hun would never meet, commenced the war with 145,000 men and 2,600,000 tons, with 12 patrol boats. She ended it with 400,000 men, 6,500,000 tons and ",300 mine -sweepers and patrol boats. The navy has convoyed the British Mercantile Marine, has transported 22,000,000 men (and of these lot only 4,391 by G-erman action), and among other things. 2,000,000 horses and mules, 25,000,000 tens of explosives and supplies, 51,000,000 tons of oil and fuel, 130,000,000 tons of food and other supplies. She bottled up the German navy at the commencenlel.t of the war and has kept it bottled up ever since. The British army and naval air forces in 1914 consisted of 130 mo - chines and 900 Hien. When the armistice was signed there were many thousands of machines and tens of thousands of men—they absolute- ly dominated the air. England, despite her call on man power, by a supreme effort, agri- culturally and industrially, has al- most fed herself. She has added over 2,000,000 acres to her cultivated area, 850,000 tons of cereals and 5,000,000 tons of potatoes, reduced imports of lur_iber by 3,000,000 tons, replacing shortage by 1,800,000 tons of timber cut in England, and forestry work in France for the balance. Clothed the Allied .Armies. Her plants have clothed the Brit- ish, French, Italian, Grecian, Serbian and other armies, and have largely equipped them with guns, rifles, shells and aeroplanes—even our Am- erican friends have been uniformed fror.i her mills. In addition to 90 arsenals, Great Britain now has over 5,000 Govern- ment controlled factories, all work- ing day and night on munitions and supplies. She has increased her steel output from 7,000,000 tons in 1914 to 12,000,000 tons in 1918. 1,000,000 of her men produced 256,348,000 tons of coal, a greet deet of which went to her allies. British women—God bless them! - 5,000,000 of than, many of whom hacl never worked in their lives before, are working for their country in her need -270,000 are on farms. Britain has spent $38,000,000,000 on this war, of which $7,325,000,000 has been loaned to her allies. The Englishman has lived on 114 lbs, of beef (or chicken) per week, let lb. of butter per week, %% Ib. of sugar per week, and has faced other food restrictions we can hardly imagine. Food costs have increased 110 per cent. Colossal sums, and at incalculable sacrifice, have been 'raised for the care of the sink and wounded, for the food and comfort of prisoners and for the benefit and recreation of troops at home and abroad. And the 'British birth rate is now greater than the total lasses of our men during the whole war.
