The army in France has from time immemorial een the nation’s pride. No Frenchman can look back Into his country’s history, on whose pages are inseribed the glorious names of Rocrot, Fontenoy, Almanza, Jemmapes,Jena, Austerittz and Wagram, ‘Without a thrill of exultation. To this sentiment has been added since 1870 one of deep-seated hatred and an insatiabie thirst for revenge, and uses, 18 ible detenders of bis coun- ‘Sy, was enacted July 27, 1872.

This enormous force is divided into eighteen army each of two divisions of infantry, one bat- ot ‘one brigade or four squadrons of cavalry, one ery brigade, abattalion of ene gineers, tires com or wrt. troops, D corps is assigned (0 a, particular region, Which it ‘occuples permanently with all its war material in times of peace, so that mobilization, ‘when ordered, becomes a comparatively easy un- The most formidable branch of the French army 4s and ever was the infantry. The Frenchman, by Teason of his low stature, light weight, agility and musculanity, 1s peculiarly adapted to long marches, climbing, bayonet encounters and hand combats. He is defective in marksmanship, but makes up for that by his other points. ‘Tne, Kuslans, who at the grand of Sebastopol found it ‘possible to repel the ‘Stolid battalions of British foot soldiers, were Une able to defend the Malakhoff against the swarm of nimble zouaves who ciimbed up the sides of 1ts formidabie earthworks lice so many monkeys. The dest fighting in the war of 1870 was unde done by the ou, 23 the foot-sold fully by the pekin or civilian; even the miserable, half-ciad “national guardsmen per- formed prodtyies of valor then. There are 144 regiment: of thal'1e 1 the French army as at Present constituted—th. ty battailons of chas- seurs, four zouave regiments, four Turco rexi- ment’, two regiments of the Foreign Legion, three Dattalions of light African infantry, four regi. ments of fusilters and one regiment consisting of inilitary convicts doing pioneer duty. The entire infantry 1s armed with ‘the Gras breech-loading gun, an improvement on the Chassepot; but the government, in emulation of the Germins, 1s al- Teady taking steps to replace that weapon With a agazine gun. ‘The weak spot of the French army 1s its cav- alry, although special attention has been pald to tin the last few yeara ‘The French have never ‘Deen good riders, and to make matters worve they suffer from a dearth of horves, AS a result their cavalry fs inferior numerically to Germany's, good military authorities placing the number of horse men the latter country could send into the tleld at the outbreak of the war at almost double that at France's di ‘The French cavalry branch consists of twelve regiments of cutrassiers, ‘twenty-three of twenty Of chasseurs a cheval, twelve of hussars, four of chasseurs @’Afrique and three of Spahis. The dragoons and light cavalry have been specially drilled in infan- try tactics of late, as they are expected to do skirmishing on foot and =harpsh ‘They are a very serviceable body of men, ‘are highly spoken of by the foreign critics who have at- ‘ended recent French military maneuvers. The system of training horse soldiers for infantry Work was copied from the Russian army, where the cavalry acts in both capacities and in addition ploneer duties. One of the great truths France learned from the ‘War of 1870 was that without a strong artillery no extended military movement can be successiully undertaken. This branch of the service, therefore, has since then received unflacying care. At the time of writing, the French have actually 452 more mounted pieces than the Germans, the full number of guns in the French army being 1,856 as against 1,404 in the German army. Their guns are mostly of the Bauge make, that Is, they are of moiten steel and are said to’be superior in many Tespects to those of the Krupp pattern. There are altogether nineteen regiments of field artillery having twelve batteries aptece; nineteen ments of eight fleid battectes and three-horse bat ‘Yerles; sixteen batteries of heavy artillery ot six batteries each; twWo regiments of bridge batteries; ‘Unree rocket companies, tweive Algerian batteries and six mountain batteries, The engineer corps consists of four regiments of sappers and miners, ‘With several railroad companies and the commis: ‘Sariat departinent of thiry-two squadrons, twenty being stationed In France and the re in a muuch for the regular army. ‘The territorial army, which is a sort of reserve, Includes troops of all arins and is composed of 145° regiments ot ine fantry and 9 of zouaves, 144 squadrons of cavalry and 4 of Algerian horsemen, 18 regiments of ar- Ullery, with 13 fleld batteriésin Algeriay 56 com. panies of artillery transport corps, 18 battalions Stengineers and 18 squadrons o¢ regular commises Fiat and transport tops, ‘strength of the territorial army is 37,000 officers and 579,000 men.
