Archibald Forbes, a writer with few, if
any superiors in his special field, is OF the
opinion that the war in Europe, which so
many believe to be impending, will not oc-
cur until 1895. France and Russia have
united army of more than l,500, 600 men.
but Russia is not well supplied with mod
ern weapons. Germany, Austria and
Italy have force of about 100000 men,
well equipped. When Russia has issued
the new weapons to her army, Mr.. Forbes
believes the long-expected and oft pre-
dicted conflict will begin.

was retired on her laurels some time ago

perhaps, %electrify the world with their

Nancy is a wonder, but in this age of
fast horses 1t takes even more than a
wonder to hold the RECORD. very long"
