‘All modern military and commercial

The latest oflcial tlguros put the
number 01 enlisted men in the armies
oi the United States at 1.360.000. This
is the force» that has grown in eight
months out of so at" that casual
sneesssssenssss
numbered only llllM- men.
Most of them are still in the train-
ing camps. Many of them are not
yet disciplined "can, fully equipped
and armed for battle.
But there are 1,300,000 of them. at
ready one of the biggest factors illn-
denburg is reckoning with for the
cams! of 1,18. ,
To lead them there are over 80,000
ofllcers. When the neonates ot the
second training camp- let their first
orders the number will be over 100.-
cos—u many silvers as there were-
p'rivates nine‘months ago.
The whole military establishment,1
with the marines and the auxiliary
forces thrown in, numbers a million
and a half. The expansion that has
taken place is as if a city smaller than
liartlord had grown in eight months
to be virtually no Ill] an Philadelphia
Since Xerxes led- his million and. a
hall of assorted Aussies across the
Helleapoat Europe has seen many a
campaign conducted on the grand
scale. American battles have been
fought so stubbornly, but with
smaller forces guged. There were
2,700,000 on meals in the him]
army in the Civil war., But many of
this number were re-enllstmonts.
The highest table-(lull at any one
time was reached in the last year of
the war. On "arch 81, 1865, the
Union army comprised 980,000 men.
For ,the Spanish war an army of
276,000 was raised. Only 60,000
saw service.
The present American army is the
largest armed force the western hemi-
sphere has ever seen, unless the
Mound Builders were more numerous
and pugnacious than we have any
reason to believe‘they were. 11 the
whole army could be gathered to«
gather today and lined up in a solid
intantry column, four abreast, it
would reactb from New Haven across
Connecticut and Massachusetts and
almst as far ugh: as Hontpelier,
Vt.
A million and“ a hall of men! It
is as if the entire population of the
state of South Carolina or- of the
states 01 Nebraska and Wyoming put .
’together—men, women and children
—were suddenly to be converted into
young men clad in olive drab and
organized into companies and hat-
talions.
When Great Britain entered the
war it was with a much smaller
army. The first expeditionary force
numbered barely 100.000. The Kai-
ser called it a contomptlble little
army. Yet without its work at
Ilene Paris might have 1alien. One
hundred thousand men and the en-
couragement they brought to the
French were enough to avert defeat
in the ilret year of the war.
It is the hope of the allies that an-
other ncw force 10 or 12 times as
great will be enough in the fourth
year 01 the war to insure victory. ,
if it is not enough America has the
men and the machinery to make a
water ed'ort.
