Small Army Compered With Others,
Compared with the gigantic military
establishments of the grent powers of
continental Europe, the British army
seemsalmost pitiably small. Its' nem
bets on a war footing probably do nut
exceed 750,000. Its smallness is due to
two reasons principally; one Is the ab
sence of compulsory military service in
Great Britain and Ireland and the de:
pendendes, such as obtains . In the
countries on the continent, and the oth-
er is the disproportionate attention
pild in England to the navy. r
The Britlsb navy 1s the strong right
arm of the empire, possibly overdevel
oiled at the expense of the land forces.
The army is a comparatively wenk left
arm, able to deliver a strong blow 11
rightly directed, but distinctly inferior
to the sea force. England Is therefore
out expected to count for much in mill.

seriously.
British Perces In the Colonies.
The great colonies, such as the Do-
minion of Canada, the commonwealths
of Australia and South Africa, main-
tai!)'sillies fore ,m, many of whose
members are trained soldiers and are
available for aeteuse ol• the home coun.
try', if called upon. In very., recent
years Great Britain has formed 'what
Is called a "national reserve," but en.
ifstment in that force has carried no
obligation of training or service, and
the force up, to a very recent time was
without organization, equipment, arms
or uniform. In additionthe territorlale
imilltlamenl "are not tit to tee° the
fleld against continental troops. Their
training and equipment are only to be
completed after the outbreak of war,
and ft is expected that some months
must elapse before they are ready for
service."
Compulsory military service has rev
er met with general approval in Great
, Britain, although some high army oW.
cera have urged it on 'the nation to
meet just such an emergency as that
which,, arose when Austria declared
war on Servia and the entire. Conti-
nent with Great Britain was drawn
into the imbroglio.
On May 29, 1913, Colonel J. ' P). B.
Seely, then secretary of state for war,
defined the attitude of, the government
when he stated that "his majesty's
governmenthave no intention whatever
of adopting a system of compulsory
service for fighting units. Far from
abandoning the voluntary principle,
they intend' to foster, encourage and
extend it by every means In their:
power."
The regular British army or first line
has as its object tbe supply 01' garri-
sons and field' forces for India, Egypt,
South Africa and other foreign dis-
tricts and the maintaining ofhome
battalions to supply defense for the
troops abroad and to furnish expedi•
tionary forces to be completed to wet
strength by the reserve, it being the
function of the special reserve to
make good the wastage of war.
The territorial force or second line
is Intended to 'defend the home terri-
tory without obligation to serve abroad,
but with the hope that individuals or
units might volunteer for foreign serv-
lee at need, and to that end officers
and men of this force register in times
of peace. for 'imperial service" in war,
there being, according to a recent com-
putation

bers are 624 men with about 605 horses.
The war establishment in the field
was for home and colonies 534 men
and 568 horses, and for India 478 men
and 508 horses.
In 1913 there was a reeasting of the
field artillery organizations at home,
due to the return from South Africa of
a number of units that bad been in
colonial service. Various changes were
made to increase the efficiency of this
arm of the service. The total number
of service batteriesand companies at
home and abroad 1s twenty -nee horses,
135 field, nine mountain, ninety-seven
garrison companies, including twelve
heavy batteries.
The infantry of the British army
consists of four regiments . in the bri-
gade of guards, comprising nine bat-
talions:*
attalions;' sixty-seven regiments of in-
fantry of the line and two rifle regi-
ments, with a total of fourteen bat-
talions.
attalions. The normal composition of a
line regiment has been two battalions,
but in 1913 it was decided to establish
four battalions of each regiment, and
steps were taken to carry the measure
int) effect.
Exclusive of the Indian army there
are eighty-five troops, companies and
other formationg of engineers for field
bridging, searchlight, railway, survey
and similar duties. A new army signal
force was formed recently, composed
of royal engineer wireless and tele-
graph men and infantry and cavalry
signalers. The army service corps
was organized in eighty companies, In-
cluding fifty-six for horse transport,
fifteen for mechanical transport, five
supply and tour remount companies.

As in the case of all the European
armies, the number of military sera.
planes in use in Great Britain is not
known with abeolute certainty. A re-
cent computation, believed to be aecu+'
rate, places it at 350. Besides this
there are several large military dirigi-
ble balloons. Great Britain has about
1,000 men trained in the use of aero-
planes, and roost of them are available
for service.

Had Severe Stomach Trouble
and Sick Headache
Could Not Eat Anything
Without Agonizing Pain
My health is better now than it has
been for years, and I owe it to Mil -
burn's Laxa-Liver Pills:—writes Miss
Rose, Doyle, Connaught, Ont., "I' was
for several years troubled with severe
stomach trouble and sick headache.
Could not eat anything without agoniz-
ing pain. My sick headaches were most
violent, and I could not rest night or
day. I became emaciated and thor-
oughly despondent, and no medicine
seemed to help me until I took °Mil -
burn's Laxa-Liver Pills. In five months
I was entirely cured."
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are without
a dobet one of the best remedies on the
market to -day for all the troubles arising
from the wrong action of the Liver.
You can procure them from any
druggist or general store. If they haven't
them in stock send direct to The T.
