TIE RAILROAD ARMY.
A LarsSSr Peace EstabIishmens Tha&

Possesses.

The standing army of Russia is
usually put at 100000 men, OF Ger
many at 6OO. 1000, of Austria at 27S, 09N,
and of Great Britain at 225 600, al on
peace footing. Yet there are, it Sp-
pears by the last published report OF
the interstate commerce commission,
$4,000 railroad employees in the United
States, whose gross wages and sal
aries are nearly $500, oOO, 900 a. w
or 81 per cent. of the ora7atinG ex,
penses of the Arerican RAILWAYS
There, are fotr employees, on the aver
age, for each mile of railroad track.
There are 30;G40 station agents, Is, 667
engineers, 25,322 conductors, 43.76s
sW1tchmen, fiagmen and watchmen.
and 21,45e telegraph operators and dis
Patchers. At the present ia ito of in
~crease-there are now 10000 more
railway employees in the United States
than there were in 1S95-the0 total
number will not be very far below
100000 at the time OF the next census.
Here is an army in which there is no
mastering out and mo- war footing, for
the railroadarmy of the United States,
larger than the number of railroad
employees of any other country, is es-
sentially an army of peace, and it is
steadily growing at a rate larger than
the railroads themselves, taking the
mileage as a measure of their impor-

Late Literary News.

When. Stephan Crane wrote 1.-The
Red Badge of Courage" he had never
been in the field of battle and knew
nothing of military affairs. His work
excited great admiration. But later on
he went to Cuba and was in the front
at San Juan Hill, and In the December
CosMoPoL1TAN we have another story.
this time from real field of battle, en-
titled 1.-The Wool of Thin Red Threads.
1t will be interesting to those who are
familiar ito his previous work to COM
pare the twe-the imaginary and the
real.
Apropos of the name COSMOPOLITAN
it is rather curious to note that the
December issue of that magazine con-
tains one article having to do with
Spain, another with India, another with
Cuba, another with Jamaica, another
with England, another with Rome and
still another with France. This is
pretty wide range.
