to the fatherland Lnlimited confidence in his chiefs, strong esprit de corps and a faculty of enduring gayly and nat urally the greatest privations-such are the most marked characteristics of the Russian soldier" says a Russian gen. eral.
 ITO these traits must be added re- markable bravery and a rare contempt of death, combined with naive kind heartedness and a gentle and indulgent disposition. The Russian soldier is dis tinguished by good humor that never abandons him even in the most difficult moments, by his brotherly under standing with his comrades and by his gay and contented way of facing all the decrees of fate. Obedience is so deeply rooted in the mind of the Russian sol- dier that during my thirty years ex- perience in the army I do not remem- Der to have witnessed one single case of insubordination, either in times of peace or in times of war"
 Russia Eager For Fray. ..
 Russia aspires to be the protector of the Slav people, and, while she has hith- erto failed to play that role with any great degree of glory. she still clings to 1t. 1t was to her that Servia looked for

 The total of the field army is 1.260,- 900. to which must be added the mo- bile landwehr of 6o0.000. In addition 1t is estimated that there are at least 1.6oo. 900 trained men to supply waste of war. The landsturm is not included in this number. The peace footing is 36,304 officers and 754.681 men.

assistance when she saw Bosnia ana Herzegovina slip finally through her fingers. Russia was eager and willing to respond but was in no condition to do so. She was still prostrated from the Japanese war, and at the first hint that her interference in behalf of Servta would be met by Germany coming to the aid of Austria she could do nothing but maintain a neutral attitude.
 But Russia now is in a different posi- ton and is eager for an opportunity te rehabilitate her military reputation.
 France has a great army. The Frenchman is a great soldier. He is brave and dashing, but in previous wars the French have lacked organiza- ton. In the last war with Germany the French soldiers were the victims by many traps. Owing to the fact that the army is made up of many races. tt has been hard to handle in the past
 England has an army which is at the highest point of efficiency. Of course her land forces are not to be compared to the naval forces. where England leads the world. but the army has able leaders and the rank and file is made up of brave men with plenty of stamina and endurance.

eight years of age the Cossack boys rode fearlessly over the steppes on half wild bareback horses: the days were passed in training themselves for war; the long evenings passed in listening to the tales of raid and adventure with which the veterans fired the spirit of their sons.
 On outpost duty they were and are still the eye tor shall we say the point CT dog? of the Russian army.

The military educa- ton of the Cossack, a curious blending of the Tartar and the Caucasian races, begins while he is in the cradle. when the first sounds his ear catches are the words of the warlike songs with which he Is rocked to sleep. and tho Cossack's children's games are nearly all of warlike nature.

 Involved in the mighty struggle and the methods of fighting in which some ex- celled Austria, which started the .trou- , ble which resulted in general Euro- pean conflagration at all times has had an excellent army, but in former wars has lacked leaders
 In at least one branch of warfare the Austrians excel, and that is in noun tainous fighting. A division of the Aus trian army of which the country is we'll proud is the Jaegers. They are noun tain sharpshooters. They climb the mountains like goats and are among the best shots in all Europe. They carry their mountain guns packed on their backs and in engagements in the mountainous territory which charac- terizes the country they are almost in- vincible. Another branch of the army which is highly regarded and which al ways has given a good account of it. self is that made up of Hungarians. The Hungarians, are dashing soldiers and fearless and their cavalry charges are dreaded by all Europe. The Hun garians are born ahorsemen and are more at ease in heHsaddle than on the ground. Austria sis great horse breeding country, and the animals used by the Hungarian cavalry are an in- valuable part of the equipment.
 The Servians, on whom the Austrians waged war which started the great conflict in Europe, are born fighters in fact, it has been said that they are never happier than when engaged in battle Just before the present trouble they went through two wars, and they lave been fighting practically all the

time. Of late years under the influence of Russia the men at the head of the government have been doing a great deal to bring the army up to modern requirements. Servian infantry and field artillery are highly proficient The Servians arc also great mountain fight CTS, as their country is almost as noun tainous as that of Austria.
 The army of the German empire is regarded as the worlds most powerful land fighting machine. It is greatest in organization, drill and preparedness for war and in the number of men inme- diately ready for active field service is second only to the Russian army.
