ANALYSIS OF THE GERMAN ARMY—THOROUGH OR- GANIZATION and EQUIPMENT—GENERAL ADOP- TION OF THE GERMAN MAGAZINE GUX. From the New York World. After an interval of sixteen years France and Germany are again facing each other and showing ‘their teeth, and unless some good Providence 10- tervenes, the grim spectre ot war may ere long overcioud the European continent. Even the most sanguine agree that the forthcoming struggle must surpass in intensity and in the extent of carnage and devastation any foreign war of the Present century. The opposing armies are both sogreat in numbers and so perfectly organized that nothing short of complete annihilation will cause either to give way and complete annihilation means the sacrifice of a million human lives. Let us now throw a cursory glance at these huge enginesot war, beginning in the present paper with the German army, which will doubtless be the first to move after “a formal declaration has been e. ‘The German army is recruited in accordance with the terms of the law of May 6th, 1880, which Provides that all German subjects shall be lable to do military duty between the of 17 and 42. Were this law carried out to the letter it would Place nearly eight million men under arms and would bankrupt the National Treasury. So by & series of military reg tions the army on a peace footing has been placed at a little over 425,000 men, While in time of war 2,762,000 trained 3o!- diers can be sent Into the field.’ This, of course, includes every branch of the service, the reserve, the Landwenr, the Landst ae. ‘The entire force in war tune is under the direct command of the emperor of Germany. Suill the different minor states preserve a certain amount Of individuality which 1s visible in more ways than one, especially in times of peace. ‘Thus the King of Bavarta stands practically at the head. of his own force; Bavaria hagqger own minister of War and can dispose of the sgitary funds priated to ber by the rete! ndently of the empire, Moreover, the Bavarian army has stuck to the anti-belluzh national uniform—light Dive cloth with green trimmings. Saxony and and the Duchy of Brunswick ¢ Wurtembe1 Wileges to Bavaria with the, exception mnilar pri by the reichstag. Marshal Pelissier once sai@ that the French soldier carried the baton of marshal of France in ius haversack. It would be difficult to apply the same statement to the German.

No detinite laws exist on the subject of promotion, Which depends principally on the will of the em- peror. Sul the custom has been to promote in accordance with duration of service. ‘The general officers are divided into iour grades: Major gen- erui, Heutenant general, infantry or cavalry gen- eral'and field marshal, “There are at present but {hree omicers of the latter gnide in Germany— Moitke, the crown prince and Prince Luitpold, of Bavaria, the latter, however, being called reldzeug- eister, an appellation peculiar to the Austrian my. ‘And now we come to the great German general staff, Mat combination of milltary genius, learning and foresight of which the aged Fiel Marsual Moltke is chief. The Prussian general | staff is the most perfect institution of tts kind in the world, and to this perfection ts in large meas- | ure due the phenominal suecess of Prussian arms since 1864. Oue of the departments 1s devoted to the collection and compilation of military writings, charts, topographical surveys, &c., trom every sec- tion of the habitable globe;’hence the Germans are justly said to be better posted regarding the feomTaphy and miutary resources of thelr neigh- ors than perhaps their neighbors themselves, ‘The general staff also publisies official histories of former Wars; the one on the Danish war having recently appeared. Since 1882 Gen. von Waldersee has acted Ia the capacity of assistant to the aged Moltke, with the titie of general quartermaster. ‘The remaining members of the general staf are Count Sehiteien, Voge: von Faikenstetn, Col. Ober- hoffer and Count v all officers of vast ex- perience and technical knowledge, above all Fal- kenstein, an active commander in’ Prussta’s three lust eainpaigns.

It has been greatly reduced in welght, however, by the use of lighter metal plating and thinner leather. ‘Talking about uniforms, the most peculiar nicknames exist in the German army bearing on the subject. Thus ihe 1st regiment of Foot Guards is everywhere known as the Blechkoppen, or sheet-iron hi on account of their bright metal helmets; the Foot Guards are called Hopfenstangen, or hop- pies ou account of thelr ze; the Ist Grenadl Kartofeipeller, oF pota rs; the Sharp- shooters, Laubroesche, or bullfrogs, because of their green uniforms; the Hz ‘Gluhwuermer, or firebugs, because ‘their tunics ‘are both green and scariet, and the Pioneers, Reyenwuermer, oF earth-worms. ‘This habit of nicknaming applies not alone to the uniforms, but also to the different branches of the service, for we find the Izaperial Guard as a whole dubbed Hammetn, or ewes; the cavairy, Sandhasen, or sand hares; the soldiers of the line, Feldratzen, or field rats; the white unt formed cuirassiers, Mehlsecke, or flour bags, and the artillerists, uhsoldaten,’ or cow soidiers— Why the latter name the victims themselves can probably never explain.

One day last Week he invited a young lady to go and see “The Harbor Lights.” She wanted to see the play, and, the truth fe rather liked ‘Tom—we will call thé young man’Tom for short—but she hesitated about accepting the invitation. Her friends advised her to decline, and warned her that, if she accepted, Tom would leave her alone a tew minutes after every act, while he was out interviewing the near- ets Darkeeper. “Oh, No, he wouldn't do that,” said the young “Yes, but he would,” the advisers replied; “he took Em Johnson week before last, and went out three thes and came in chewing cloves and coffee, and Em was so mortified that she says—" “But he wouldn't leave me alone in the theate: 1 know,” the young lady retorted, confidently; “and to prove it I will accept his invitation,” On the way to the theater Tom was all gallantry and the curtain once up he was greatly interested in the But at the end_of the first act he made a brief apology to the effect that he wished to speak with a friend whom he saw standing in the foyer, and rose to go.
