The Eastern War Cloud.


Eighteen millions of men under arms
in Europe! Think Of it.
The number of men in actual service
to- day in Russia, France, Germany,
Austro. Hungary and Italy mount to
about six millions, while the reserves
that would be called out at once will
amount to nearly nine millions, or
total of fifteen millions.
We give below the strength of the diff
icrent armies in m.n, officers, horses and
guns:
Russia active army comprises l,9S9,493
men, 43, no officers, 3lS, $50 horses and
1874 guns. Russla's reserves are 3,04l,
2OS officers and men, 6lS,S52 horses
and 1886 guns or total Of 5,232,OoO
men, S37 ,434 horses and 7,7S0 guns.
Frances active army comprises l,
035,0Oo men, 1851 officers, which
when augmented by the reserves make
her total war force 3,4OS, 800 men, 76,
l97 officers, 81 900 horses and $500
guns.
Germany's active army comprises |,
2l2,077 men, 35,997 officers, 356,35S
horses and 3,S4S guns; add the reserves
and we have 100000 men, 100000
and over 5000 guns.
Austro- Hungary can put in the field
1918 900 men, 52,290 officers and |,
500 guns.
Italy can furnish an army Of 2,377,
$50 men, 24,109 officers g., 400 horses
and $50 guns,
Germa ~, Austro. Hungry and Italy
are in alliance; let us see the figures

or more than a million and a half in
excess Of the triple alliance. These
two armies amount to 5,Nn377 men,
but this Is by no means all there are Of
armies in Europe Turkey, Servia, Rou-
mania, and Bulgaria have together
armies of l,03S, SO officers and men
Greece and Montenegro can furnish
10000 fighting men. Now these are
the powers almost certain to become
cmbr0iled should war break out and
we find a muster Of eighteen millions
Of men. 100000 horses and $4,000
pieces Of artillery. The combined naval
forces of Germany, Austra,Huns ny
and Italy aggregate in addition to the
above 92,7S1 men, and those Of France
and Russia Psi 500. It is next to i'm
possible to form all intelligent opinion,
based upon what rulers and diplomat
lists say, OF are reported as saying in
reference to the immiuence of war, yet
one has but to consider for a moment
the monstrous armaments to conclude
that war must solve the problem Of dis
armament, and that disarmament is a
pressing necessity.
Some, however, believe that war will
be averted, while others evidently are
convinced that the greatest war Of his
tory is about TO be begun.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading Re =
publican newspaper of the West, speak
ing Of trusts says:
Every trust" every Continuation
every great corporation and every mo-
nopolistic interest stands like a stone
wall in opposition to any revision of the
tariff or any reduction of the customes
duties upon all the articles that are es-
sential to the welfare and the comfort
Of the masses of the people. If you
will take a census of them you will find
that they are in favor of reducing the
surplus revenues by cheapening whisky,
and tobacco, but are unalterably op-
posed to reducing them by cheapeping
necessarics OF life. Docs the farmer
look to the trusts" the Combinations, :"
the giant corporations and the interests
that have grown into grinding monop-
olies through the operations of a tariff
system carried to manifest excess for
the promotion of his interests? Clearly
he does not, for his complaints have
been ascending against them for twenty
years. While their power has grown
and theis wealth has increased, and
their arrogance has become next to un-
endurable his profits have shrunk and
new "shingles" nailed upon his real es-
tate by the money lenders.
