said to have resolved on summoning to the
field sixteen men out of every thousand,
which he calculates will give him million OF

early as possible. On the other hand, the
Western powers are not idle. Whole fleets
are on the way 10 the Black Sea with fresh
achievements, while ut home both in Eng
land and France the respective Governments
are straining every nerve to strengthen, pre-
senily and prospectively, the forces already
actively engaged in hos,ililirs. We do not
