organized, that nothing short of complete annihilation will cause either to give Way, and complete annihilation means the sacri- fice of upwards of a million human lives. A writer in the New York World gives some interesting information concerning the military resources of the two countries, and to him we are indebted for much of the information which follows.
The German army is recruited in accord ance with the terms of the law of May 6, 1880, which provides that all German sub- jects shall be liable to do military duty between the ages of 17 and 42. Were this law carried out to the letter it would place nearly 8,000,000 men under arms and would bankrupt the national treasury. So, by a series of military regulations, the army on & peace footing has been placed at a little over 425,000 men, while in time of war 2,762,000 trained soldiers can be sent into the field. This, of course, includes every branch of the service, the reserve, the Landwehr, the Landsturm, ete.
The entire force in war time is under the direct command of the Emperor William. Still, the different minor States preserve a certain amount of individuality which is visible in more ways than one, especially in times of peace. Thus the King of Bavaria stands practically at the head of his own forces ; Bavaria has her own Ministers of War and can dispose of the military funds appropriated to her by the Reichstag inde- pendently of the empire.
Promotion in the army is a long and tedious matter. No private can even aspire to the rank of a corporal without accom- plishivg his three years service—-a fact which necessitates his re-enlisting. There are five grades »t non-commissioned officers, viz., Unteroffizer, who performs a corporal's duties ; sergeant, or lance-sergeant; vice- feldwebel, or Sergeant-Major, and lastly, ‘porte-epee-faehnrich, or ensign. The latter officer, though also non-commissioned, dis- tinguishes himself from the rest in so far that he has passed a special examination, and that by going through a course at one of the nine war academies of the empire, followed by another successful examination, can be promoted to the grade of second lieutenant. The other non-commissioned officers on the other hand seldom rise above the rank of feldwebel.
The commissioned officers are divided into six grades as follows: Second hieuteuant, heutenant, captain, major, lieutenant-colonel and colonel. No detinite laws exist on the subject of promotion, which depends principally on the will of the Emperor. Still the custom has been to promote in accordance with duration of | service. The general officers are divided into four grades: Major-general, lieutenant genera’, Infantry or cavalry general and field marshal. There are at present but

zine gun that had just been into the German army, which the following facts are gleaned: The gun goes by the name M. 71 | 84, meaning that it is nothing mere than the old Mauser rifle introduced in 1871 and subjected in 1884 to an alteration which Gonverted it into a magazine gun. The first the public
introduced from
knew of this change was not earlier than August of Jast year, when five German
ariny Corps stati ned on th western fron- tier were suddenly armed with the im- proved weapon, and it was learned for the first time that the Government had been working on the project for nearly two years. Since then the whole German army has been supplied with magazine. guns, and is at present proficient in their use.
In appearance the German magazine gun greatly resembles the Winchester, aud, in- deed, it is worked on the same principle, although it will hold but ten cartridges at a time instead of sixteen. The magazine consists of a long barrel running parallel with the barrel of the gun. A spiral spring forces the cartridges forward, and another spring called a feeder or spoon forces them one after the other into the firing chamber and from there into the bere. The magazine holds eight cartridges, the cham- ber one and the bore another. The empty catridge is ejected by another spring im- mediately after firing. The manipulation of the new gun is Claimed to be very simple, so much so that the troops accustomed to the old pattern learned to handle it easily after a few hours’ practice, ani as reloading can be easily gotten through with within twenty seconds, ths ravages it is destined to commit must be patent to every one.

Fie!d Marshal Moltke, with his fours «re Years weighing heavily on his shoulders, woul) ¢« little beyond watching operations ire ottices of the General Staff; but the Crow: Prince, a clever tactician and cool leed, would never be found wanting. Around him are grouped a galaxy of military talent of which even the great Napoleon might have felt proud. The reigning Princes of the minor States, beginning with the King of Saxony and ending with the Grand Duke of Baden, have al] held important com- mands in previous wars, and to them may be added the veteran but active Werder, the successful besieger of the Strasberg and conqueror of Bourbai ; the cautious but de- termined Bulmenthal, chief of the Fourth Army Corps ; von Kummer, von Beyer,von Raven, von Rose, von Kirchbach, von Mutius and a host of others.
In another article we shall have some- thing to say in reference to France and her
‘chances in a concest with Germany or any
other power.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
i
“Government Belief.”
Siz,—-In your issue of the 16th inst., I notice that you assert ‘* the Government believe that Dr. Jenkins has already been amply paid for his services on that occa- sion,” alluding to his professional services in the smallpox epidemic. What is belief on the part of the Government? If they
amply paid Dr. Jenkins, they did more towards him thanthey did tome. We read that all things are possible to them
that believe. Is it on this basis that the
three otticers of the latter grade in Germany — Moltke, the Crown Prince and Prince | Luitpold of Bavaria, the latter, however, being called Feldzengine:ster, an appella- tion peculiar to the Austrian army. And now we come to the greai German general staff, that combination of military genius, learning and foresight of which the aged field marshal Moltke is chief. The Prussian general staff is the most perfect institution of its kind in the world, and to this _per- fection is in # large measure due the phenomenal success of Prussian arms since 1864. One of the departments is devoted to the collection aad compilation of military
writings, charts, topographical surveys, etc., from every section of the habitable globe; hence the ‘Germans
are justly said to be better posted regard- ing the geography and military resources of their neighbors than perhaps their neigh- bors themselves. The genersl staff also publishes official histories of former wars : the one on the Danish war having recenuy appeared. Since 1882 General von Walder- see has acted in the capacity of assistant to the aged Moltke, with the title of General Quartermaster. The remaining members of the General Staff are Count Schlieffen, Vogel von Falkenstein, Colonel Oberhoffer and Count von Keller, all officers of vast experience and technical knowledge, above all Falkenstein, an active commander in Prussia’s three last campaigns.
As already stated, almost each of the States ot the Confederation has its own war minister. General Bronsart von Schellen- dorf has had the Prussian folio since 1883; in Ba:aria Lieutenant-General von Hem- leth, and Saxony General von Fabrice, and in Wurtemberg Major Bilfinger are Minis- ters of War. Over and above all these ministers stands the Military Cabmet of the Emperor, directed by General von Albedyll. In addition to this the Emperor communi- cages with the eighteen army corps of the German army by means of five inspector- ships, the incumbents «f which are direct- ly responsible to him. Thus are the com- ponent parts of this great tighting machine controlled from one and the same source and kept in perfect harmony with each other.
Everything in the uniforming and equip.
Local Government are acting towards the medical men who riskéd their lives and that of their families in buttling with the plague in the interests of society? I be- lieve the Government are unjust and wroug in my case, and they have refused *‘ to be- lieve,” and would not iisten to reason, arguunent or anything else. 1 am, there- fore, quite ready ‘‘to believe” that Dr. Jenkins is not amply rewarded, if all the authority you have for your opinion is ‘‘the Government believe.”
Some people have an idea that our Local Government is supreme and all powerfel. If they have the power to take a profession- al man’s time and service and skill and pay for it whatever they ‘‘believe” or think proper—they have the power to enter our barns, take our wheat, cattle, and finally our farms and pay for them whatever “they believe” —their conception of the power of the state may lead them to adopt spartan views, and then we may be told that ‘they believe” that every relatiouship of society must be subordinated to their consideration of imagined political necessity. Come Mr. Editor, you should tell the Government that the laborer is worthy of his hire—that it is unjust and dishonorable to treat the medi- cal men as they are doing. ‘‘Owe no man anything” is a scriptural injunction and
while they claim to have a policy of collect ng debts due to them from the Do-
minion they should be true to their prin- ciples and pay their debts, for 1 can assure you, sir, that the medical men have rights of which they cannot with propriety be divested, and these rights have been con- ceded by the common law recogniz® by all civilized nations, notwithstanding the belief of our Local Government. Yours truly, Rt. McNett.
