THE BALKAN FORCES.
Twenty Per Cent of the Male Popu
lation Reported Under Arms.

From the New York Times.
The four little states now arming ir
view of possible war with Turkey, name
ly, Greece. Bulgaria. Servia and Monte
negro, have combined popula ton OF
about 13,5O0,0D. about that of New York
and Massachusetts. Nevertheless as the
cable informs us, these countries have
managed at few weeks notice to put a
combined army of 1.O0O,OC0 men in the
field and ready for action. The reason
is, of course. that they are pre-eminently
military nations. Service in the army
in Greece, Bulgaria and Servia is COM
pulsory and universal, every male cit
iZen between the ages of twenty-one and
forty-five or forty-six years being, sup
poSedly, trained for soldering and ready
for call. In Montenegro the old tribal or
pa triarchical militia system still prevails,
one male of each family doing military
service. y force of 10000 men can be
mobilized in that state at short notice.
while an army of $1,000 or more is avail
able in case of necessity. The popula-
ton of the country is only $4,000, ac-
cordinS to the latest estimates
The peace strength of the Servian army
is about $1,000. including the gendarmerie;
that of Bulgaria 200, that of Greece
5000. To obtain the forces now said to
be on the frontiers large drafts have
been made on the reserves and the terri
torial forces. More than Z per. cent of
the total population. nearly a fifth of the
male population, is under arms. 1t is
not a spectacle to cause much rejoicing.
to be sure, but it is worth thinking about
in comparison with our own chronic
state of unpreparedness.
The United States, with a population of
more than 92O0.GtO or with the outly
ing possessions 1OO,GO0.OO0, has in its reg
ular army today 4.S42 officers and 1888
enlisted men. There is also an organized
state militia at the service of the ma
ton of about $4,000 officers and men.
Here is a combined land force, in case
of necessity, of 2O4, 365, about one-four-
hundredand-tift of our population,
much less than one-quarter of l per cent
The law provides that the enlisted
strength of our army shall not exceed
10000 In case of need large reinforce
ments of raw recruits would be required.
There is disposition in this country
to increase the numerical strength of our
army, but there is naturally strong op-
position to all plans tending to cripple it
and impair its efficiency. There is also
great need of reduction of the term of
enlistment TO two years so as to develop
a We'll trained reserve to use in time of
peril

In the latter event the unfinished
match of last Friday between Albert W.
Howard and Louis l. Doyle was COM
pleted, the score standing IL. 3-6 and

when play was started yesterday. They
received a good start and took three out
of the next four games in the unfinished
third set, which gave them this one. 6-S

Yesterday he brought the gallery to Its

have passed him. On each OF these occa-
sions his opponents were taken by sur
prise and he counted points. HELEN. his
partner. was very steady ana playeo a
good game. His work was not as snowy
as that of Hornidge, but he backed him
up nicely and was always on hand when

Both Doyle and Howard showed flashes
| of their best tennis, and, as was stated
| above, every game was hard-fought
