The Forces of England and
Russia.

Russia has more soldiers and more
ships s-of.war than any other country in
the world. In her standing army there
are 7S0, 900 men, and she has 35S ships in
her navy. 1t costs $l25, 100000 year
to keep her military on their peace
footing, and her military authorities say
they can place 2,300,00 trained men
under arms in war time. The English
standing army is 1872 600 men. This in
cludes the English regular troops serving
in India. The English War Office
authorities profess to be able to put 642
600 well.drilled and effective British
troops in the field if called on to do so.
This does not include the Indian auxili-
ary forces, which would swell the total
British forces at home and abroad to
over 1000, 900 men. 1t costs England
800, 600, 900 year to keep up it's regular
army. In 1858 there were $1,000 Irish
soldiers in the English army; now there
are only 81 200. Ia 1853 great mum
ber of Irishmen from Tiperrary, Armagh,
Kilkenney and other Irish militia regi-
ments volunteered for active service
and were sent out to the Crimea. The
English navy contains 2S3 ships. But
while the Russian navy contains more
vessels than the English navy, it must
be remembered that England spends
three times as much on her navy as
Russia spends on hers. York Sun.

The Colonial Forces of Great
Britain.

The regular troops in Canada number
about 700 men, the actual militia mus
ters $1,000 all told, and Canada could
place about 3S. 900 men in the field. In
New South Wales the regular forces
number 1926 men, the volunteers 2,l00,
and there is an armed police force of
l,2SS. Victoria possesses q small
naval force of l2 vessels, includ.
ing cruisers and torpedo boats. The
militia forces are 3, 42S men. South Aus.
tralia, besides volunteer force of ], $50
men, has rifle association numbering
$50 men, while cruiser is being built
and volunteer and naval brigade organ.
lied. Queensland has between 500 and
600 volunteers, two gunboats and a
small torpedo boat. West Australia has
535 volunteers. and Tasmania, $40. New
Zealand has 5,7S2 volunteers, and an
armed constabulary of l60 men. The
total number of men in the Australian
colonies, exclusive of the police, is over
I5,500. In South Africa the Cape
mounted rifles number 996, the Cape
artillery 81, and the Cape infantry 500.
Besides this there is volunteer force of
5000, and every able bodied man is
liable for military service. Natal has
volunteer force of 230 men, besides
mounted police force of 230 men, and
Ceylon has volunteer force of 900. Thus
the total forces in the English colonies
is less than 1000, of which Canada con.
tributes nearly $4,000 men. besides
which hearmies of the tributary princes
reach the enormous number of 100000,
