THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
From the report OF the secretary OF war 1t
appears that the strength OF the army on Sep
tember 30 1891, was 2,l35 officers and 25,765 en-

regimental duty OF the large force of men
hitherto serving at the recruiting depots. The
abolition OF these depots it is predicted will
Furthermore effect an annual reduction approx
imatlng 900 in the direct expenditure, be-
sides promoting generally the health, morals
