gument to use that the Turk is an

quire what the strength arrayed
against him really would be.
The Russian army at present num-
bers l ,213,000, one third Of whom are
in the southern part of the empire.
The army of Austria, when on war
footing, numbers S3S, 900, while the
English Government with its regu-
lar troops, volunteers and men in
training service has an available to-
tai of $4,000. Germany at present
remains neutral, although sooner Or
later her influence will be directed
on one side or the other. At the end
of 1876 her army numbered /, 273, 600,
a force which by the calling out of
the Landsturm and the field reserve
could be increased to $500, 900. The
Russian navy numbers in all II men
of war, the Turkish 20 and fleet of
gun boats, while England has II
iron clads and 242 men-Of-war. Rus
sia's Mediterranean fleet is at pres
ent in American waters, and her
Baltic fleet would in case OF a war
with England be compelled to re-
main in that sea to defend her ports
and shipping, while the Turkish
navy would be able to keep her at
bay on the Mediterranean. How
Austria will yet act remains to be
seen. The people are opposed to any
participation III a struggle which
may help to strengthen the Hunga-
rian element; but when hostilities do
break out their own safety will de-
mand the occupation of Servia. 1t
hardly seems probable that Russia
in her present financial condition
would rush into war likely to con-
tinue so long unless she had the
promise either Of assistance or neu-
trality from one Power or another.
But in whatever scale the influence
of Austria or Germany is placed the
figures we have given are sufficient
to show how equally the physical
strength is distributed, and what
changes a conflict may produce on
chess board Of European politics.

purpose. Mr.. Stephens, afte- the
