THE CARS ARMY

The Russian empire possesses the
biggest fighting machine In the world
in tho shape ot les army and navy.
but there is no other military force
Of which the world knows SO little. so
reticont are the soldiers Of the car
concerning everything which has TO
DO M any way with their profession.
Even the numerical strength Of the
army is largely a matter OF conicc.
turc As nearly az can be reckoned.
the force available fer carrying ON the
earlier stages of a war amounts 60
nearly 3IO0.O00. but IN case OF ma.
tional emergency this force could be
swcllcd to about 100000 hghting
men by the calling out OF the terri.
torial reserve and the militia.
In many respects the Russian army
and navy differ materially from the
forces OF other powers. and some of
the points Of difference are decidedly
interesting; but. as already stated.
retlcence Is the keynote Of the admin.
istratlon OF both services. The secrets
of both army and navy are most care
