The total peace strength of the British army is 238,172; j§;/war strength, 1,170,000. The peace j J strength of France is 570,000 and its war strength 4,660,000, while in case of a ; • long European war "several more mil­ lions of untrained men could be called up." Germany leads all in its possible strength for offence and defence. To its "<t peace strength of 545,000 and its war Jj strength of 8,113,000 it adds the "Land- s sturm,"or defensive army, of 3,300,000 :.. men, making the enormous total 6,213,- v 000.

EVANSON. ̂ PROBATE COURT NEWS f ; i J OUR GROWING FOREIGN TRADE. The exports of the United States for the first ten months of 1899 were valued at $1,029,242,286, and were the largest in any ten months in our history. The imports for the same period were 1658,375,129, exceed­ ing those of the same periods in 1898, 1897, 1896 and 1894, but less than those of the same periods in 1890, 1891, 1892, $ 1898 and 1895. In the last decade our imports were largest in 1892 and our ex­ ports smallest in 1895. Our total foreign trade promises in 1899 for the first time f; to reach $2,000,000,000, of which fully three-fifths will be exports. This remarkable increase in exports | is the more notable because it does not | result from the misfortunes of other ^ nations. There have been no great crop v failures in other lands to make a demand ". for our breadstuffs. In fact, oar exports of agricultural products in 1899 are > about $85,000,000 less than in 1898, when / short crops aboard and plentiful supplies 5 in this country resulted in unusual ac­ tivity in the export of food products. But there has been an enormous expan­ sion of our exports of manufactures, re­ sulting in a total increase to November 1 of more than $40,000,000 over the same period in 1898. Detailed figures for the first nine months of the year show that oar exports of manufactures were then $50,000,000 greater than in the same months of 18% and $65,000,000 greater than in the same months of 1897. Ex ports of mine and forest products in­ creased respectively $4,000,000 and $6,000,000 over those of 1898. The year's exports of agricultural products will be quite up to the average, while those of manufactured, mine, and forest pro­ ducts will exceed those of any year in the Nation's history. In connection with this expansion of oar exports is to be noted the greatly increased domestic demand. This is seen in every line of manufacture. The prices of agrimiltnml nrndncts 'Were never higher when the crop conditions of the world were normal--as they have been during the year now ending. The great increase in our exports of manu­ factures demonstrates his correctness of the financial and commercial policies which the American people approved in the elections of 1896, after bitter exper­ ience with policies of another kind. The United States was never more prosper­ ous than today. The prosperity is shared by workingmen in manufactories; by formers, who have increased demand for their product; by producers of raw material, and by manufacturers as well as exporters.
