' Russia, with her enormous territory and also vast population, is still dies best suited to its own peculiar circumstances or national characteristics. At the age of about twenty years every male is registered and noted as liable forservice. From the general list thus obtained is then struck out those found unt or exempted for various reasons. The reminder drew lots and the number required to make up the annual con- tingent is thus obtained. Those not thus taken pass at once. to the second or third line, and receive annually a greater 01" less amount of `training. The contingent en- tering the ranks remains in them a short period, and then in its tm'n passes into reserve-liable' to recall to the colox-s-and thence `to the second and third lines, generally known as the- landwohr and landsturm, although each nation has a distinctive title forsuch classes.

Her Caucasian an'd"Asiatic troops are so far removed from I Europe, and have such ditrerent and serious * duties to perform that they are generally \ left out of account when comparing her ~ forces with those of the other great powers, whileher opoltchenie, or levy en masse, con- tains solarge a number of untrained or only grtlally-trained men as to render it difficult estimate it at its true strength. Another remarkable feature in this army is its large proportion of Cossack and irregular troops. Germany-seems to have realized at the end of last year that she cannot cope with her powerful neighbors, Russiaand France, in ' the magnitude of her armaments. She has, ' therefore, introduced a law which will add considerably to her strength, and is said to `be calculated to raise it to as much as 1.350.- .000`ona warrtooting. .The speech of the veteran Von Moltke, when advertinq ti thh addition to the strength of the Eng]: In my last, iswell worth perusal, The system on which the chief military forces of Europe-with one notable excep- tion-are organizedis that of universal lia- bility to service, every man on attaining the age of twenty or thereabouts becoming liable to serve in the ranks if not incapaci- tated from physical, moral or family causes. A further development of the system is the manner-in which every man thus taken for the army, after serving in its ranks for a limited period, reverts to civil life (making way for others -to be trained like himself). and there remains, liable for a considerable period to be recalled to the colors in cases of grave national emergency. By this system the young manhood of the country becomes trained to arms, and its armed forcesbecome not a mere section of the population, but a large proportion of the nati . which is thus enabled topresent a well-trained, well-dis- ciplined and homogeneous force to the at- tacks of an enemy. The one exception to this system is found in the military forces of Great Britain, which -perhaps owing to its isolated position, perhaps to the love of free- dom and independence of its people-is, at the present moment, the only army recruited voluntarily. The system on which they pro- ceed may be thus generally described, al- though it must be understood that every nation _ Asxamnomrtraor V that the two new army corps now in process of. formation are `destined respectively for the eastern and western frontiers of Ger- many.
