Following the visit of their president
TO Russia the French papers have been
instructlng their readers on the forces
possessed by that country. The Army
and Navy Gazette of London extracts
from one of the most widely read of
these some interesting particulars. The
Russian army, founded by ukase of
1870 on universal liability to service,
can draw upon annual recruiting lists
of something like 10000 IN Europe and
l40 900 In Asia, but in time of peace
many cases of exemption are admitted
aud only about a quarter of the above
numbers, or some 10000 In all, are
called out. The liability Is for twent,
years service, commencing at the ag'
of 21. OF this period five years have I,
