Gaby ls depict ed us u member of the chorus and the bolo support of her Invalid motlier and her blind sister. She is nn energetic worker and becomes the understudy of the part played by Mlle. Siuioude, the lending lady. The latter, jealous through her belief that the leading mun, Claude Devereaux. ls in lore with Gaby, tries to have her discharged, and when the luunuger refuses to do this she resigns. This gives Gaby the opportunity she has so long waited for, and she soon ls acclaimed the great est actress on the stage. THE huge size of modern armies 1? in ' itself a problem that mukes the nations hesitate be-* fore employing! them. Napo leon once declared that! bc doubted If any mun could successfully conduct the operations of un army of 200.000 men. and added, with the characteristic ego tism of genius, tbut If that feat were possible be alone among living gen erals could perform it But annies hnve enormously increased, and war hus developed marvelously along sci entitle lines since tue day of the tlrst Napoleon. Problems are far more in tricate now than then. New methods of trnut'portatlon hnvb removed old dlf llcultles und raised fresh ones, aud to day lt Is the nntloh that can begin to fight the quickest that wins those Ini tial advantages which ofteu lead to ul thu a te victory, even over u superior force. The fighting strength of France ls about 3.000.000 men-nu army only smaller tbnn those of Russia and of Germany. She bus some dllnculty in keeping her active regiments at full strength, but ber powers ut a pinch have astonished-the world more than buce. She has shown her astounding elasticity and ability to recover from most, crushing reverses, . while tier troups have ever been imbued with pa triotic fervor and the tierce'Spirit of war. The French army must be con- . fessed a magnificent fighting machine, ? albeit the French spirit of militarism ls a curse to that great country, and n grave stumbling block In tim way of her true progress, according to some. - On a peace footing her army Ia about nOO.000 strong, or more than three times os large as lt was forty-four years ago. when sbo suffered defeat hi ber memorable struggle with Germany. She hus also improved mightily In-her knowledge of, military science- since those days, it ls said that France ls behind other powers in her employ ment of smokeless powder and that her, small arras lack rin ira nulty, but time mny prove this assertion erro neous, and, whatever else she lucks, her field evolutions and strategic potv opj ore beyond si!!

As we bnve said, despite her system of conscription lt is not easy for her' to keep her regiments foll, and she lacks ber great riv ni's aston niling pow*, er of quick motion and concentration, but lt f3 possible that she insists on these defects.. too obviously, and tn that case wa may assume, that;{Trance ls not unwilling to be supposed a little, more behindhand In her ml I i tn ry affairs Ulah is the fact The nation, that un derrates her In time or war will ns cer tainly . rue It for when of late ber strength had occasion to be put forth nothing* Appeared that might tend to show her a shadow weaker than her fellow powers, ' France new demands three years' ac tive service ff om all ber male citizens; [then ber soldiers pass into the active reserve, which position they, occupy for ten yeafs. During that time they are twice called into the. field and each term of service lusts for u month Her warriors, then puss Into tho territorial army, iii which they serre .for six years and during which period they go upon active service for rone fort night They theo posa into the terri torial reserve, where they remain until reaching the Uge of forty-five. Hence forward a Frenchman -Is exempt from' military duty, but until jls forty-fifth, birthday bc ntte'.ds n muster roll once a year and IS at nny moment liable to neuve service in the event of war. This rule was abolished fer some Ume. and a two year active service system v-vas adopted.. To meet the in: crease bf Abc German atony, following upon th.it Of 1012.

French Mads s Bluff.; . General Keim of the German Army league, who is un expert on tbe ins and outs of sentiment molding, said I in Der Tag that the true inwardness ' of M. Humbert's revelations was 6 de ! sire to pave the way for fresh French mtlltr.ry armaments. The senator's declaration that the republic's.) army was not equipped to cross either-tbe Moselle or tho Rhine gave the whole game away, according- to .General Keim, and illustrated clearly that tbe exposure wns n parliamentary bluff for tbe purpose of arousing the country to the need of fresh sacrifices for mill' "?.ry expenditure. The bluff was timed, says General Keim, In order to enable President Polncare to proceed to Itussla with fresh assurances for tbe czar, that France was prepared to do still more when the time came to enable the 'partners in the dual alliance to crush their mutual German foe. General Keim asserted that Instead of peing numerically Inferior .to ..the Germ?n nrmy at the .present moment France, with 000.000 troops, under arms, was vastly superior. Her artfl lery riso was In no respect- ICBS. effec tive than Germany's- Ip .one or two directions it was even superior,.

For a century France has adhered td the belief of Bonaparte that the artil lery, properly supported by infantry; ls the most effective arm of the service. Napoleon himself wus au artilleryman, and the handling of the big guns was a favorite study with him. lt will be re called that his placing of the guns In the streets of Paris during the revolu tion did much cc make him the master of Frauce. In all of the wurs in which France han been engaged since thc era of the Orst Napoleon-in the Crimea, hi Aus tria, in .tho unsuccessful contest with Germany lu 1870-1-Frenchmen have distinguished themselves by their han dling of artillery. Their batteries are noted, for their mobility and the case und quickness with which the ammu nition ls handled. In addition, thc placing of th? batteries In time of ac tion has been made a special study at the French military schools. Various foreign observers have certified their belief that in this branch of military work France leads tbe world. Indeed, lt was asserted that the over whelming defeat of the Turks tn the recent war In the Balkans was due In111 some degree to the fact that their Acid guns, of German manufacture, were outclassed by thc artillery of the allied Balkan powers, which was made in France French military writer* ex ulted ""only over this assertion and declared that In the test of war the French guus would outmaneuver and outshout the Krupps. lt must not be forgotten that French officers und men have been tested in actual warfare in the north of Africa. The French colonies in* Algiers are held only by the tenure of arms, and lt was for their protection that France j came so near going to war with Ger many ot ' Morocco. Tho.tribes of the interior, .ur akin to the "drat class fighting men" of whom Kipling wrote, have kept Frenchmen busy for many years. The campaigning on tbe desert ?ls much harder than anything French soldiers are called upon to ince in de fense of their beloved fatherland or when invading the lands of their coun try's European foes. ; Above .all, the motive animating Frenchmen In n war with Germany bi tbe desire to recover Abuce and. Lor raine, torn from France by the vic toriens Germans u 1870-1 The cry of "La revanche!" heard th France at , interval a for forty years has never been stilled. , and it puts new life into the French soldier to know thnt ho ls battling for tie redemption of the lost provinces.
