A report of the United Vsmu militia I force has just been presented to congress, and from it we `learn that there are nearly as many ollicers as privates. The number of the men enrolled.in the militia, all 'told_ is 100,837. and there are 8.210 oicers com- missioned and .l8,33l nlon-commissioned. Among American mililury men every third ` one is genVsra l" or oolone|." and few rank as low as ``captain." France and Germany and Ruasii constantly maintain standing armies of a million and a half to two millions each. draining each nation of its best man- hood and national resources to keep` the armies in constant ciciency. The United States would find a vast army a necessity if surrounded by such powerful military neigh- bors as the nations of Europe. As it is Canada has little to dread from its powerful neighbor. simply because its `powerful neigh- bor nds no occasion to havean army always in ghting trim. just as the ordinary un- armed Canadian citizen is in little danger from violence. simply because all. or nearly all. the citizens by whom he is surrounded are without deadly weapons. < LOT 8- ed an nnoon com: per line to` each uuorllon.
