1t caused no little surprise when
figures compiled by the War Depart
ment were made public, showing
that the United States Army stands
fourteenth on the list of Armies of
the world. in point of actual numer-
ical strength and twenty-fifth if the
Army is compared &c the total pop
ulation of the country.
Russia stands first on the list, with
an army of 100000 men China is
second with 1,085.00O and France is
third with $4,000 men.
The other armies down to. and
including the United States, follow:
Abyssinia 571 900: Greece. 10000;
Japan 900; Poland 100000;
Italy 250,000; Great Britain 237.50O;
India 221 900; Spain 2l6.000; Turkey
1SS.500; Rumania 10000; and the
United States 158,000.
These figures are interesting in
view of the fact that the League of
Nations at Geneva, recently decided
that nothing can be done in the way
of reducing land armaments at pres
ent.
The fact that all the European ma.
tons and Japan as we'll have com
pulsory military service, which guar
antees that every able-bodied youth
will receive military training when
he becomes of age. is the primary
reason for such a large number of
men in the armies of these European
powers.
