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-

the French soldiers were the victims
by many traps. Owing to the fact that
the army is made up Of many races, it
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

Of Russia the men at the head of the

deal to bring the army up to modern
requirements. Servian infantry and
field artillery are highly proficient. The
Servians are also great mountain fight

The army of the German empire is

The German is a soldier of the high

The German army consists of the
first line, landwehr and landsturm, the
last home defense reserve. Two regi-
ments of infantry, six battalions, form
a brigade, two brigades a division and
two divisions an army corps. In war
all corps will be constituted OF thirty
