Turkey Can Place 100000 Soldiers
In Action Against 1890 Troops
Collected By The Balkan States

Inc laSL rev years nave seen an
advance in the effectiveness of the
Bulgarian army. the organization of
which on really sound lines was first
undertaken by Russian officers in the
years 1879 to 1885.
Bulgarian peasants make excellent
soldiers-full of fight. obedient and
not easily daunted by the hardships
of war and the application of mod
ern military science to these quail
ties has gone far toward leveling the
army up to the higher continental
standard.
MosIem Only Exempt
Military service is compulsory in
Bulgaria, save to the Moslems, who
may purchase exemption for 500,
and the conditions are arduous. The
army is composed of an active or
field force, with an active reserve. a
reserve force, and the militia, and
while in times of peace only the ac-
tive army remains ON permanent
footing all save the militia are liable
to be called on should occasion arise.
The latter may be used only for pur-
poses of defense within the frontier.
Two years with the infantry and
three with the cavalry is the period
of service with the colors, recruits
joining at 10 in times of peace and
at 18 during war, and after that
there are eighteen years in the re-
serve, with annual training.
Six Cavalry Regiments
In this way some "a, 900 young men
are embodied each year, and the re-
suit of the system is the building up
of large war reserve of trained
men. This army is divided into nine
divisions, each comprising two bril-
gades of four regiments each, and
nine batteries. and there are in all
six regiments of cavalry. an arm in
which Bulgaria is somewhat weak.
The headquarters are at Sofia, Philip
popolis, Sliven, Schumia, Rustchuk.
Vratza, Dubnitza. Eskizagord and
Plevna.
Arms Not the Best
Bulgaria is not so well OFT IN the
matter of ornaments as in, men, at
all events, as far as the infantry is
concerned, for while the active army
is provided with the Mannlicher rifle
part, at least, Of thereserve has only
the Berdan, weapon which is not
regarded as being among the most
effective in these days. There is also
machine gun section attached to
each infantry regiment, while the
artillery is armed with the Schneider
Canet quick firing gun and the Krupp
mountain gun. In addition. the
transport service has to some degree
been brought up to date.
AS far as can be gathered from the
figures available, the peace establish
mentor number of the active army
is as follows:
