The Army.
BRIrrsn ARMY.-The army estimates exhibit a
gross amount Of about IL, 900, O0Oi. fer 1912 q, be-
ing an increase OF emily 125,OOOl. over that Of the
preceding year. No one can contrast the small
forces employed by land and sea, with the extern
sive operations in progress, without paying a volun-
tary tribute to the bravery, energy, skill, and eff.
cheney Of the British army and navy. In the whole
history Of mankind no instance at all similar is to
be found. The Roman legions, spread over a COM
paratively small spot on the globe, numbered thou
sands for the hundreds Of the British army, while
there is scarcely a mock of land, or a bay through.
out the world, that is not watched and occasionally
visited by some portion or other of the British
forces. The total number of all ranks in the army
amounts 10 l2l ,l2l. about one fourth Of the armv in
