We hope to open Our through

the route will depend very much
on station and train men. Pat

to answer all questions civilly,

may seem, to make passengers
as comfortable as circumstances
will permit; and to bear in mind

Agents will have their ticket

of trains; will see that baggage

in their power to make passer-
gers comfortable while detained
at their stations.
Conductors will see that

announce the stations as they
are approached, in IL distinct and
audible manner, closing the
door before making the an

must go through the train and
announce the name Of the sta
ton and the time that will be
allowed for meals. Conductors
will see that porters keep the

ladies to and from the cars; also
that train-boys are clean and

French and German Forces Since 1871

@Fronch ana G0fmeh Forces since 1871
The Cologne: Gazette compares tho.
new formation in the French and Ger
man armies since 1871, to show what
immense preparations are being made
by France to extend her military power.
The German army has added nine in
fantry battalions, 80 field batteries, five
railway companies, q small number of
foot artillery and pioneer companies,
and three train battalions. Comparing
France now with her condition before
the war, there is, corresponding to this,
IN increase of 1913 battalions, twenty
eight squadrons, and 159 field batteries.
The new military law of 1872 gives 126
line infantry regiments, 80 rifle bat
talions, four Zouave, three Turco, and
one foreign regiment, three light Afri-
can battalions, G3 cavalry and 30 artil-
lery regiments, with 300 field batteries,
one pontoon regiment, three engineer
and four train regiments. The infantry
regiments No. 127-144, the Dragon reg
iments No. 2l-26, the chasseurr regiments
No. 1919, the hussar regiment No. II,
and the artillery regiments No. 31-38,
have been raised anew. There is talk
of q fourth Turco regiment and three
new line infantry regiments being rails
ed, in order to make the 18th French
army corps in Algiers mp to three divi-
sions. 10 these must be added tho
territorial army, organized and formed
mainly since the 3Oth of March last,
which will consist at first of 72 infantry
regiments Of, three battalions each, or
PIG battalions, IS cavalry regiments, Is
artillery regiments, Is engineer battal-
ions, IS train divisions. The force i'm
mediately in contemplation, being
reckoned up, would give, since 1870, a
total increase of 3A battalions md 81
.squadrons, which would be nearly a
doubling of the French army under
Napoleon ILL.,, and would put the
French force to about ], 600, 900 men.
