 The Army and Navy Journal in recent editorial the topic, offers number of very interesting com parsons. It is pointed out that among the great powers the United States has next to the smallest army, her complement of 118500 exceeding only that of Germany which has 1OO5OO. Russia has the largest, with 834 900. France is second with 800 900; the United Kingdom third, with 256,700; Italy fourth, with 250,000, and Japan fifth with 246, 900. The United States maintains the smallest number of soldiers per 900 of population: 1.33 On this basis France heads the list with 1760 fol- lowing by Italy, Russia, the United Kingdom and Japan.
