THE TROOPS OF
THE COLONIES
Where England Can Get Soldiers if
She Wants Them.
ALL OVER THE WORLD
The Nature and Strength of the
Colonial Military FOlce of
Great Britain.
ALL OVER THE WORLD
By Lord Beresford:

By Lord Beresford:
In view of the loyal offers Of troops
for South Africa made by Australasia.
Canada and other British colonies. and
Of the probability that all such offers
of practical character will be cor
daily accepted, as that of Canada has
been, It is interesting to know that ma
ture and number Of the local troops
from which the contingents for active
service will be drawn.
In Canada, where the leader of the
opposition has given the public assur-
ance that proposal on the part Of the
government to equip and dispatch
corps Of 1850 men for service in South
Africa will meet with unqualified sup
port. the local forces consist Of a body
known as the Canadian militia. This
body, Of which the constitution is gov
erned by the Canadian militia act of
1886, is under the immediate command
Of a major general Of the British army.
II is properly divided into three sections
namely, the permanent militia, the
active militia and the reserve militia.
The first section, having a strength Of
only S65, remains permanently with
the colors and forms the nucleus Of the
whole army
The second section, or active militia,
constitutes for practical purposes the
available fighting force Of Canada.
1t is $4,000 strong, but it does not re-
main permanently with the colcrs
The men receive drill and instruction in
local camps and are called out once a
year for training for a period, which
on the showing Of Major General Hut
ton. Is too short to satisfy the require
ments Of military efficiency The ma
terial of this army is, however. held to
be excellent. The third section Of the
Canadian army consists Of the entire
male population between the ages Of IL
and 80, the constitution of the Dominion
permitting a general call to arms if re- d
quired for the defense Of the country.
The Canadian forces include thirteen
batteries Of garrison artillery and sew
enteeE field batteries. There are also

6S5 horses Of the defense force, includ-
ing volunteers. with an additional 1874
men Of the rifle clubs and police force,
VIII ar liable to be called out for
military service. The Queensland fore
es, exclusive of the rifle clubs and the
police force are divided, like the Can
adian, inGo three sections. There Is
first the permanent artillery secondly
the militia and thirdly the volunteers.
The contribution which Queensland
acting alone. proposed TO make to the
imperial forces for South Africa would
have consisted Of 25O mounted infantry.
fully equipped, including horses. The
splendid quality Of these troops was
fully recognized on the occasion OF their
visit to England for the Diamond Jub-
lice Of 1897.
The New South Wales forces, like
those Of Queensland, are divided into
permanent forces fully paid, militia
partly paid, and volunteers. The per-
manent forces include the headquarters
staff. ordance staff, permanent staff,
and besides these, a nucleus Of artillery
engineers, medical staff corps and army
service corps. The total number, in
Guiding officers and men, is 5g1. The
partially paid forces include lancers,
mounted rifles. field and garrison, ar
tiIlery, infantry, engineers, submarine
miners. army service corps and medical
STAFF corps, amounting in all to 4278
With volunteer and rife clubs, the total
military force Of New South Wales
reached the number Of 8,937.
The Victorian forces are divided into
the usual three sections. The perman-
ent forces are composed in much the
same way as those Of New South Wales
and reach total Of All ~anks Of 393.
The militia, which includes cavalry.
horse artillery, field and garrison ar
tillery, engineers, infantry, ambulance,
commissariat and general staff, has
a strength of 3,195. The volunteers, con-
slsting Of mounted rifles and Victorian
Rangers, have a strength Of 1900, Civ
ing for the whole defensive force Of
Victoria total Of $685.
The local military force Of South Aus
tralia is very small It is divided into
fixed defenses and a field force. The
fixed defenses, which include two COM
panies of garrison artillery for the forts
erected at GalanVille and Large Bay To
protect the harbor Of Adelaide, half a

support to land him winner Mr.
Weener hes always been prominent in

esss Of Ike lab6ring men. He has per-
sis.ently refused election to positions
in labor circles higher than the one he
now occupies in the Boston Cigarmak-
ers' Union.
1t is said on good authority that Mr.
Wiener has leanlngs towards socialism
and would like to see the labor unions
take up the burdens of the socialist
labor party.
Mr. Pierce told The Spy man tonight
thai he VIII stand for reelection and

SUCCESS.
