THE ENGLISH WAR SCARE.
Superstitious Reverence Which Ger.
man Army is Held is Baseless.

There are az the present moment
several great military powers in the
world: Russia. the German en-
pire, Austria-Hungary, Italy, France
Turkey and Japan.
Each OF these-great military pow
ers- gets its army by some form OF
sumpulsory recruitment: that is, the
state exercises the right of compell-
ing men TO come and be soldiers for
certain time under It's colors.
Each OF them takes a certain pro-
portion OF It's adult male citizens in
this fashion every year and keeps
them for a period in barracks and
under training. This period is usu-
ally short-from two years upward.
The rest Of his life. at least the rest
of the time during which he can be
useful as soldier ION the average
up to about as years Of ageD. the
man who has been so trained forms
a. part Of reserve; the youngest
part forms the reserves OF the active
army. which joins at once in case
OF war: the next Oldest forms the
territorial army: the next Oldest
again the reserves Of the territorial
army, and so forth.
On such model all these great
armies are framed.
Now the most remarkable thing
with regard to these forces which
you will discover in countries which
have not this system Is the curious
and almost superstitious reverence
In which one out Of seven Is held.
and that one Is the army of the
German empire
The countries which have not this
modern system Of recruitment. and
therefore do not possess great milf
tary forces on the same scale. are
the English speaking countries;
England aud her colonies and the
United States And Il Is especial
~ In England that this legend Of an
all-powerful German force has
grown Up.
You do not find Russians Or Itali-
ans talking III those terms Of the
German army-stiil less Frenchmen
and the nearer you get 70 expert
military opinion. the less that point
Of view is held. But the general
opinion Of this country certainly.
and psobably Of the other English
speaking countries | have named
