THE FRENCH Army.
Nearly a Million soldiers, but
Not One Grand Conn
mander.
London Spectator.


By the last accounts the frontier
fortresses have been vastly enlarged
and fully provisioned, the arsenals are
all full, the supply of officers keeps up,
and the Ministry have at their dis
posal, without reckoning the "teyrito
rialists" or ultimate reserves, 28i, 600
infantry with the colors, 6S, 600 cavalry
and $4,000 artillery, or with the ad-
ministrative corps and gendarmerie,
all soldiers, $4,000 men, behind
whom stand $4,000 reservists, all
seasoned men, capable Of being
mobilized in q fortnight. Allowing
for a failure of ten per cent for
sickness or other causes, the Ministry
can put in the field, for any sufficient
cause, $50, 900 men, armed, drilled and
organized, leaving behind them at
least as many adults under 30 WHO
have been soldiers That is most
formidable army. even against a first.
class power, and the only question is
whether the men are worthy soldiers.
The critics say no, because they are
young, because they are unwilling,
because they are materialists; but all
that resolves itself into the single idea
of want of heart. Napoleon wars
we're made with conseripts, strength
ened BY old soldiers, and war, once de-
clared, the Ministry would have in
every arm Of the service, to every ten
men, four old seasoned soldiers, and
four with only years training. The
proposition would work we'll enough
if only the officers were competent,
and as they are all thoroughly and
scientifically trained, their compe
tence, like the spirit of the men,
would depend upon their leaders and
events. There is the strength and
weakness of the French army, and
there it has always been. These
masses of fighters have drill enough,
material enough to do everything,
even to face Prussians, if only they
have leaders, motive, and that small
modicum of victory, which, to men
of their temper, supplies heart.
Give them chiefs who can win and ey-
idence that they can, and cause they
understand, and Europe, which is now
decrying them, not without secret
complaisance, would again be com
planning of the inherently military
character of the French people. AS
vet they do not see the cause and
recollect the invasion of 1870, and are
out of spirits; but the merest acoi-
dent, an alliance perceptible to the
people, an afront that came home to
them, the appearance Of general,
might change all that in week and
make France once more a prime
mover in the councils Of Europe.

No demand was ever made upon his
