The country around Warsaw is a
plain, low Hat. Intensely cultivated, and
dotted with many industrial village#.
This plain stretches away to tin? l'rus
slan frontier. The the south there are
hill clusters, while in the north, thru
out the region adjoining the confluence
of the Narew ami the Hug with the
Vistula, there are considerable stretches
of tangled and treacherous marsh land.
During the spring and autumn rains,
this region frequently suffers from di
sastrous floods. The Hoods now and
then prove to he terribly destructive. |

oughly 6t lulled In recent months, ami
the president Is now bus> with their
problems; but what of the great tivll
Ian army, of military age, between IS
ami 41 years, of whom, according to
tlm report of state adjutant generals
on II lo In Washington, there are nearly
17,0<>0,(MM>. of thin number, as great
almost as the total of all the armies
now lighting in ICurope, only wlxty
one hundredths of one per cent are lu
llu> inllltla of the various states; which
means thill more than 10,800,000 are
men practically without military train
ing.
To get an idea of tin* situation, a
representative of the New York*Tlmes
wan permitted a few days ago to read
Hom^ of the government report# on
the condition of the militia. The re
?!t Wfla startling. I11 more than a
? co re of states there Is 110 Held ar
tillery of any sort and in the whole
country there are fewer than forty
officers of ordnance. In thirty-five
states there are no organizations train
ed for coast, artillery, 24 have 110 cav
alry, a large majority are without *lg
nal troops, while the whole force of
organized engineers, officers und men,
totals less than 1,500 for' the entire
country. One state, Nebraska, is with
out militia organization of any kind.
There are approximately, 10, 500, 00Q

Some Strange Proportions ?
The above figures reveal many
strange situations. For instance, Ala
bama is surpassed by only four states
In the number of males between 18
and 44 fit for military service, those
states being New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois. The 1910 census
gave California 200,000 more popula
tion that Alabama, yet Alabama Re
ports that she can furnish 400,000 more
men than can California! Texas with
1,700, 000k more population JMfe?
ha in are ports only 500,000 men fit for
service, while Massachusetts, with 500,
000 less populUtlo# than Texas offers |
75,000 more men.
Minnesota/ with 2,100,000 population,
reports only 237,923 possible soldiers,
while South Carolina, with only 1,500,
000 population, comes within 20,000 of |
that number. Ohio, t whose population
Is n round million greater than that of
Texas, Is credited with 450,000 more
able men than Texas, but only 150.000 1
more than Alabama, which has 2,500,
000 fewe^people ^
Mississippi, 1,800,000 population, of-'
fers more than 400,000 men, whereas]
Tennessee, with 2,000,000 population,
returns only 376,000. Indiana, with
1,000,000 less population than Texas,
reports 160,000 more fit men and 75.- 1
000 more than Massachusetts which
has 050,000 more cltlaens than Indl-|
ana. . ,
Much criticism has been leveled at
the war department because of appar
ent lack of Interest In the mllltla. It
Is o fact, however, that never, except
when the country was at war, has the
government Am* more for the Nation
