The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1877-04-27
TIE RELATIVE STRENGI49 OF
RUSSIA AND ItURKEE.

Now that war exists between Russia
and Turkey, the relative strength of
the armies and navies Of the antagon-
lists, becomes of interest. According
to the statisticians, the Russian army
.iu 1876, consisted Of 1918 $50 men,
which in time of war Nay be doubled
by drawing on population of nearly
go, 900. 900, or more than twice that Of
the United States. The total available
strength of the navy, is sboot"l2O ves-
sells of war, of which 30 IRE iron clads.
The greater part of this feet is in the
Baltic sea, where it can 'be OF little or
mo service in the present war. Ac-
scording to the terms of the treaty OF
.P5ris. made at the close of the Cri-
mean war, the Russian feet In the
MEDITERRANEAN, WAS restricted to few
Vessels, and the majority of these are.
now IN American waters.
The Turkish army in 1876 contested
of 46O 900 regulars and about 500. GOO
ssedentaries OF RIen who had served
eight years in the army and remain
subject to military duty III case Of he
tcessity. Only persons of the Moham-
medan filth are permitted to serve In
the army, the'members OF other creeds
a b.
paying an exemption tax The citi-
zens OF Censtantluople are also exempt,
and the entire army and navy has to DO
drawn from about IL 000, 900, or.less
than half of the population OF the en-
pire The army, however. is now be-
ing reinforced 10y Mohannedans from
Egypt, Oircassia and other provinces
which acknowledge SPIRITUAL if not
temporal allegiance to the Sultan of
Turkey. The Turkish navy is consid-
cred very efficlant. nearly all the ves-
sells having been built Ill England. and
unlike the Russian navy, they are all
'avaIlablelih the present war.
While the Russian army has numeri-
'caIly the advantage in the present wst.
it must be remembered that the Turks
are fighting on their own ground. and
that. they have heretofore, on several
occasions, proved themselves at least u
match for Russia.
