and on parade appear fit to do anything

they think they-are more than a match for
the Turks.
"They have this on the word of foreign
military attaches, who declared to them
that II they had gone to war with the
sultan four years ago the fight would have
been a pretty even one, whereas now there
is a big balance of probability in favor
of the Bulgar.
THE Turkish army will be feeling the
effects of reorganization for a long time
to come. In spite Of the German Officers
efforts, the army is a quarter of a CEN
fury behind the times, while its fighting
value is lower than it has ever previously
been in the history of the Ottoman en-
pire.
Thirty years of palace rule has worked

they have not been able to produce the

Lepine inaugurated an exposition held in

The cavalry branch of the Turkish army
has always been considered exceedingly
picturesque, but the value of the greater
part of 1t in modern warfare is p~roblematic,
made up as it is of Kurds and other half
civilized tribes of Asiatics. These troops
are all natural horsemen, and they come to
their drills mounted on small hairy, country
bred horses. But in spite of their perfect
Craftsmanship the Turkish officers have
never been able to make them amenable to
military discipline. They still remain more
SNOWY than useful.
The principal cavalry of the Bulgarian
army is Car Fedinand's Guard Regiment.
1t has three squadrons during peace, two
being mounted with Hungarian horses and
the third with horses bred at the Govern
ment stud stations.
As Ferdinand takes a personal interest in
this corps, the barracks, the riding hall
and the stables, as well as the uniforms
and the equipment Of the men are all upon
models of the best that he has found
throughout Europe.

whole of the male population of Bulgaria
is drawn upon. The Turks on the contrary,
place the burden of military duty entirely
upon the Moslems.
Since there are in Europe only about
1,75O, 900 Moslems, a very large part of the
army must be drawn from the Asiatic prov
inces. This Xxi is one Of the points
that the new regime intends to correct. 1t
proposes to extend the whole European
population of the Ottoman Empire, thus
giving nearly 100000 people to be drawn
from.
In Bulgaria $1,000 young men annually
reach the age of p, and of these about
1900 are taken for the full peace color
service. The period is nominally three years
for the cavalry and artillery and two years
for the infantry.

Kelley weakened very materially and
