 Songs and Dances Tighten the Long
 Marches-England' Danger
 There are three infantry divisions of the guard. two quartered in St. Peters burg and one in Warsaw. The F regi- inents, with 4S battalions, are known only by their names, and it is note worthy that the emperor has never giv- en himself higher rank than that of colonel of the Preobrajansky regiment. The regiments of the infantry of the line are numbered 1 to 1S0, four regi- ments, or 16 battalions. make up an in- fantry division, divided into two bri- gades. the first having red shoulder straps, the second blue. There are 49 such divisions, of which four are grena- diers, with GA battalions. There are 4 battalions of rifles in brigades of four regiments, with two battalions each. In marching the Russian infantry has ab- solutely no equal. Nothing omitted to develop and improve it. The vast hedgeless country facilitates great ex- tension in movement, and all that can be done to make the march cheerful and pleasant is done.
 i The Russian does not yield to the Italian in his love for song. or to the Spaniard in his love for dancing and fun. They sing every inch of the way, and often a dancer will step in front of his company and by merry carnival antics send the laughter round. That is the way to get men along and to ! keep them good tempered under ad- verse conditions. The man who helps therein renders good service, and it let off some guard or fatigue, or gets an extra ration. How different to our comparatively dull, silent march in ser ried fours. "The soldier who sings as he marches, marches to victory" So wrote Lord Wolseley for q book of marching songs. The Russian infan- tryman is also "handy man. There are few things, he cannot do, or will not try to do, if taken the right way. As for food, he never had much, even when grown, and as he rarely enters on a campaign under 9 or 24 years old. he { escapes many constitutional dangers of extreme youth.
 It is in mounted infantry work that the world military is now humbly fol- lowing the ancient lead of Russia. Wholly apart from the 16 regiments, ] with 96 sotnias, or Cossacks, the finest mounted infantry in the world. equally good on horse or on foot. daredevils to whom riding and horsemanship are as

much second nature as me old boers or the Transvaal, there are $ regiments or dragons. Concerning these ] wrote in 1877 from the imperial camp at hish- inefT:-
 '-The dragons will render special ser vice. They are in reality mounted rifles, and for their employment the Turkish campaign is peculiarly adapt ed. Alone of the all the powers in Eu- rope the Russians have recognized the great utility of mounted infantry They move in threes, the center file holds the horse of his comrades on either side when the order to act on foot is given. The horse detachment remains under the command of the senior subaltern. He is directed to keep under cover yet near at hand, that the words 'To horse may be immedi- ately put in execution to charge dis heartened infantry, to meet cavalry face to face, to seize a position, or to retire swiftly before superior num- bers-"
 A warning let me give. If the Rus sians ever invade India they will do so with 100000 mounted infantry, and we must have better and more numerous marksmen, or horses. to oppose and circumVent them, if they chance to sur- vive the passes. The Russian cavalry is organized in 19 divisions of two bri- gades each, or, in other words, in S5 regiments, with, in war, 503 squadrons with seven squadrons of mounted po- lice. There are two divisions of cavalry of the guard, with 10 regiments, four ,.lta garde a cheval, the cuirassiers of the emperor and of the empress; two of dragons, two of hussars and two of lancers. The heavy regiments have four squadrons, the light regiments have six each.
 The horse provision for such an enor- nous mounted force, each regiment of six squadrons requiring 1000 horses, necessarily entails the most elaborate arrangements. Practically every caval- ry division has a remount establish ment in the great horse-breeding prov inces of the southeast. There are also remount commissions. Each buys from 500 to 1000 horses. The system of se- lection and distribution is complicated and difficult of explanation.

The artillery is now in process or rearmament with a three inch quick-fring gun of the most re- cent pattern.--From the United Service Magazine.
