THE STRENGTH OF THE COM.
BATANTS.

An eastern paper makes the follow
ing estimate of the number of troops
W hich France and Prussia may ul-
timately be able to place in the field.
France has 414,e32 soldiers on the
peace footing, field army of 647,27l
men, or l $50 600 as her war strength.
OF these. $40, 900 are ready for instant
service. Austria, which is looked upon
as the ally OF France. $4,000 men on
the peace establishment, 83e,70O of a
war strength, or 100000 ready to
move. The South German Conted-
Grafton. which may become the ally
of France, have 1874, 4O6 soldiers on
the war footing, of which lO7, 900 are
prepared for instant service. In such
a coalition France could WELD abont
III, 900 fighting men. with reserve
of l,596.OOO trained soldiers.
Prussia has 10000 men on the
peace or 1865 900 on the war foot
ing, with 100000 ready for immedi-
ate operations. North Germany,
which would naturally 60 with Prus-
STA, has 315, 526 men on the peace
footing, 552, 1913 on the field. or 944..
32l on the war footing, Of which 546,-
600 are ready to march. This
would give to Prussia GAG, 900 men
for instant service, and l,364,32l in
reserve, Should Italy and Russia
be drawn into the contest, nearly
another million Of men might be ad-
