The German empire and the French
republic we're born together in the
smoke and flame of the terrible battle
Of Sedan. There the French empire
went down with the fortunes of the
last Napoleon, and there the mighty
Bismarck laid the steps OF the kaiser's
throne.
The Franco-Prusslan war of 1870 was
one of the most swift and terrible In
history. By rapid and simultaneous
movements the Prussians crumpled
the two wings of the French army
modified on the Alsatian frontier, de-
feating them in the sanguinary battles
Of Weissenburg Worth and Spichern.
Marshal Mcmahon and Marshal Ba.
zaine, commanding the two Wrench
armies, attempted to form a junction
and retreat to the Moselle, but Prince
Frederick Charles, commanding the
Prussian advance, defeated the exc

The women of Paris rose to the
emergency created by drafting the
men of the city for the army Society
women took the place of men clerks
in stores to sell necessities. Young
girls sold tickets in the underground
stations. Others acted as walters in
cafes. Grocery stores and meat shops
were run by women. Small boys were
put on as guards on the underground
trains. The motormen are aged, gray
haired men, ineligible for service in
the army. Paris enjoys the novelty

women apparently do, too.

ABOUT CzAR'S ARMY
Military Service in Russia Is Uni
versal and Compulsory.
Field Force Of Empire In Europe Com
prIses Twenty-Seven Corps, With
1888 6attalIons, 642 Squad
rons and 4o7 Batteries.

Russia has an extensive frontier
both by sea and land, protected by nu-
merous fortifications Of various
classes. On the west Poland is defend
ed by a system of four strongholds,
sometimes called the Polish quadrilat-
eral. The more important fortresses
and forts include Warsaw, Kronstadt,
Sveaborg. Ebau and Vladivostok.
Military service in Russia is uni
versal and compulsory. Service be-
gins at the age of twenty and extends
to the completion OF the forty-third
year. Owing to the extent Of the en-
pire, there are three armies, known as
the army OF European Russia, the army
of the Caucasus and the Asiatic army.
These armies are practically distinct
and the terms Of service In each are
slightly different.
Speaking generally, service In the
first line or sactive army is for three
years'in the infantry, field and foot, ar
tillery. and for four years in the other
arms. The soldier is then transferred
to the reserves (zapas). Having com
pleted eighteen years in the first line
and its reserves, the soldier passes
to the "opolchenie" to serve five years
The Cossacks, occupying the south
western portion of European Russia,
hold their lands by military tenure and
are liable to service for life. The Co.'S
sacks proper troops are almost en-
tirely mounted.
A Russian division consists of two
brigades of two regiments. To each
is attached an artillery brigade, an en-
gineer battalion and two or three
squadrons of Cossacks. The normal
army corps has two divisions, a how
itzer division and sometimes a cav
airy division. The fighting strength
OF an army corps is $4,000 men with
out cavalry, or 10000 with cavalry.
The field army of European Russia
consists of twenty-seven army corps.
All told, the army OF Russia in Europe
comprises 1,03S battalions, 642 squad
rons, and 497 batteries. In 1918 Rus
sia had only one dirigible.
The held army In the Caucausus
consists of three army corps and four
cavalry divisions.
In the Asiatic army there are FIVE
brigades, which mobilize as the First
and Second Turkestan army corps
Each has a Turkestan artillery bril-
gade. The largest part OF the Asiatic
army Is in East Siberia. Since the
Russo-Japanese war the East Siberian
forces have been increased. They
would mobilize as five Siberian army
corps instead of three. as formerly.
The peace strength OF the armies OF
Russia is over 100000 of all ranks.
The Asiatic army would mobilize
about 100000 men. The grand total
OF Russian armies, therefore, is about
1850. 900 men. The Russian infantry
is armed with the "three.line" rife,
model 1891.
The most important Russian feet is
In the Baltic. with base at Kronstadt.
A naval port on the Arctic coast in
