upon the men of the west In the days
of the second empire Baron Gros was
sent to Japan to demand the opening
of certain ports TO French commerce
Among the rest he named TO the
Japanese ministers n certain city.
The Japanese functionaries smiled so
broadly when he preferred the requcs,
that the French ambassador asked them
TO tell him what gave them so much
amusement; but instead of answering.
the Japanese ministers said:
I'VE will open the port in question.

ope, y certain port TO us"
What port is that7' asked the

HARD TIMES MAKE SOLDIERS.

Tho Army Was Never So Full Since tho
War.
One effect of the present "hard
times" throughout the country is visi-
BILE in the great increase in the number
OF recruits taken into the army in the
past year and the constantly increasing
number of applications ut the recruit
ing stations all over the country. In
speaking of the present state Of affairs,
says the Washington Post, an army
officer connected with the recruiting
service said recently:
THE army is nearer full at present
than II has ever been since the war.
The maximum allowance for the stand
ing army is by law twenty-five thou
sand, and out of this number we rare
ly have more than twenty-five or
twenty-three thousand in the ranks
At present, however, there are only
about one hundred and fifty-four vacan-
cies In the whole army, and orders
have had to be issued to the officers in
charge of all the recruiting stations to
restrict the number of recruits taken in.
THE fact is that it is not nearly
every man who can get into the army
II he wants to, and the lines are being
even more closely drawn rs the amount
Of available material increases, 30 that
II Is not more than one out of six or
eight applicants who is accepted.
There are perhaps fifty or sixty re-
cruiting stations throughout the coun-
try with an officer in charge Of each,
and whenever nm applicant presents
himself he is Obliged to answer n list
Of about fifty questions rs to his
mental qualifications and past record,
and is then examined physically by
surgeon In charge of the post.
''If he passes both of these examina-
tions, which only 4 small proportion Of
the applicants can do, he IL turned
over TO the nearest recruiting depot,
where he is put through another cx-
animation before board of surgeons
and examiners, and there he may be
rejected again. in which case the cost
of his transportation and board are
charged up to the recruiting officer
who accepted him.
"1n spite of these restrictions, how
ever. the number of applicants for the
service has so incrca scd that the army
is practically full, and can conceive
no reason for the present state of
things except the prevailing hard
times, which have driven large num-
bcrs of men without other means of
support to fall back on the government
for living"
