STANDING ARMIES.
Now that a third call forvo'uu
teers ; s imminent it begins to look
as if the United States were to
have an active army of huge pro
portions, The forecast is an
army of 125,000 for Cuba, one of
60,000 for the Philhppir.es and one
of 30,000 for Porto Rico. These,
together with the army for home
defense, will swell the totals to
almost 300,000. This would put
us side by Biue with European na
tions.
In view of these possible con
ditions, it will be of interest to
glance at the standing armies
of other * nations. Russia
beads the list with an army of
910,000 officees and man muintain
ed at a cost of $213,000,000 per
annum, In addition there is and
available force of 3,077,000 t rained
men for emergencies, and the full
fighting strength of that country
s efftimated at 13,000,000.
Next comes Germany, with a
standing army of 584,734, and thi.
force can be promptly increased tc
3,700.000. It is also stated that
under the new ermy law the fight
ing strength of Germany is 7,697.
356, of whom 4,297,856 are trained
I soldiers and able for war
France comes next with 524 768 1
officers and men, and th s force
can be readily increased to 2,930,-
000 for national deiense. The pres
ent cost of maintaining the Frencl
standing army is $123 000,000 pei
annum. England has a s anding
army of 366 (XX) regulars and 865 -
000 reserves and militia, and these
forces can be easily doubled in
case of war.
Spain maintains an army of 95,-
000 and has an available war
strength of 1 334 000. Italy has a
peace army of 222,275,and a fight
ing strength of 3.397,000. Little |
Belgium has an army of 43,359
and Holland one of 21,000.
Austria-Hungary has n peace
force of 354 196, and a war reserve
of 1 422,036, Japan a total war
strength of 328,000 Turkey u
atauding army of 164,300. and
Greece a peace atrength of 25,000
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Thankful words written by Mrs.
Ada E. Hart, of Gro'on, S. D.,
“Was taken with a bad cold which
settled on my lungs, cough set in
and finally terminated in Con
sumption. Four doctors gav ' me
no, saying I could live but a snort
time. I gave myself up to my
Savior determined if I could not
stay with my friends on earth, I
would meet my absent ones above.
My lusband was advised to get
Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Gilds.
I gave it a trial, took in all eight
bottles. It cured me, and thank
God lam saved and now a well
and healthy woman.” Trial bot
