practical supply Of at last extreme" pure
estimates It first glance of them may seem radically
wrong to the casual reader Therefore it necessary
to state the method by which these estimates were
arrived at.
Generally speaking the number of able bodied men
and youths the age Of in any country is about
One-fouTth Of the total population AT last extreme
means with country fighting in utter desperation for
its national life, its mere existence. It has been
assumed that the highly civilized highly organized
countries inhabited chiefly by white races would go
nearly to the limit IN of most desperate need and
the IS percent figure has been taken the basis Of
calculation IN these countries Less well organized
tries and those not overwhelmingly peopled by white
races would stop far short of the theoretical limit
Colonies and possessions inhabited chiefly by races
other than white have been treated differently according
to the known general conditions in each case. For
example it has been assumed that continental United
States would produce a possible Is percent but only
100000 have been estimated possibly available
out Of the 100000 inhabitants of United States pos
sessions; with the British empire has been assumed
that the British Isles, Canada, Australia New Zealand
South Africa, etc. would produce possible IS percent,
but India has been figured in at only IS percent or
tenth Of the standard, and few thousand trbesmen
African possessions etc. have been figured as possibly
available for home defence their territory;
that the table shows the practical supply Of
from the United States and possessions to be equal to
that of the whole British empire with than four
times population. Similarly, China, Liberia etc,
have been figured at one-tenth of the standard, while
latn-Amerca has been figured at onehaf the standard
It viii be said at once by some readers that the
estimates of practical supply all almost all

If we should SUI ply for army at the same
rate that Germany and France have already supplied
