At the last census tho United

tary age Many of this number, of
course, would be disqualified from
active service on account of var

tiles, while soma would not be cor

Nevertheless, these figures give us
conception of the vast army that
could be mustered to carry the
stars and stripes
An authority makes the bold
statement that there is not CIV
iIized country in the world, with
the possible exception of Russia,
which could pot in the field such a
large army. Gen. Xerxes is said
to have commanded one of the
largest armies ever known under
one man, namely, 100000. The
Crusaders in their effort to rescue

dashing chivalry, all told, never
numbered anything like one mil
lion. Napoleon could not muster
at any time over three.quarters of
a million. The allies who opposed
him did not put in service mil
lion soldiers at one time. The en-
tire enlistment of the Federal
armies during the war between the
states aggregated about 100000
The Southern regiments, brigsdes,
divisions and corps were supplied
by little more than 100000 men
during the four years of carnage

When the two sides of the con-

all-the- time Democrats will step to

without regard to the claims of
either side. It is not the Bryan

Democrat" who will be on the fir
