It is the seat of government of upper Alsace and the supreme court of Alsace-Lorraine. The population is approximately 50,000 and the people are employed mainly in the textile in- dustry, sugar making and machinery factories. Around the city there ars rich vineyards and orchards. Charles the First once held his Diet there. In 1476 it took part in the -struggle against Charles the Bold, was taken by the Swedes in the Thirty Years' war, and from them taken by the French three years later. Under the treaty of Westphalia the French re- leased it, but again in 1673 reoccupied it and dismantled its fortifications, which| now serve as pleasant promen- Here ades. It passed with Alsace-Lorraine to Germany in 1871. Meuse Valley Picturesque, “From Liege to Namur—The valley of the Meuse from Liege to Namur is very picturesque and attractive and is densely populated, even for Belgium, which is the most densely populated country on earth. There are many bold cliffs and ruined castles border- ing it, while innumerable thriving vil- lages and rich pasture fields vie with one another in making a beautiful landscape. “Huy—A fortified place; has a citadel rising in terraces from the river and defensive works hewn out of the solid rock, Huy is fourteen miles from Liege and twenty-four from Namur, - Here Peter the Hermit was buried and the ruins of the abbey he built are still pointed out. There are also many mining and manufac- turing towns in the Meuse valley be- tween Liege and Namur. “Esch on the Alzette—A town of about 12,000 inhabitants, just off the main road from Liege to Luxemburg, with iron mines and factories. It is to be distinguished from Esch on the Sauer, an unimportant place not far away, which is also called Esch in the Hole. “Breisach—A town in Germany of about 4,000 in the grand duchy of Baden on the south side of the Rhine. It is on the railroad connecting Frel- burg with Colmar. Across the river, connected by a bridge, is Neu- breisach, with the fort of Mortier commanding it. Breisach has fig- ured in many wars, Until the mid- dle of the eighteenth century it was a strongly fortified place. It was called ‘the cushion and the key’ of the German empire.

It had numerous vicis- situdes thereafter, its fortifications be- ing alternately razed and rebuilt until it was made a part of Baden. It was bombarded severely in the Franco- Prussian war. “Neubreisach—A place built in the form of a hexagon and of great strat- egic strength, In time of peace it has a garrison of 2,300 men. It was for- tified by Vauban, In the Franco- Prussian war it was bombarded for eight days and then surrendered.

It is a fortress of the first class, with a citadel] said to be Vauban’s masterpiece. The city is situated in a well irrigated and fertile plain on the Deule river, with which numerous canals are connect- ed. The present fortifications there were largely built in 1858. Lille was founded before the middle of the eleventh century by Count Baldwin 1IV. It was held successively by the Austrians and Spanish, being taken from the latter by Louils XIV in 1667. During the war of succession it was besieged by the Duke of Marl- borough and surrendered. Under the treaty of Utrecht it was incorporated with France. “Seille River—A tributary of Mosel, which in turn flows into Rhine. “Lemberg—The capital of Galicia, Austria, not far from the Russian frontier.

C., Aug. 14.—"If the United States should call to the colors as many men in proportion to the population as Servia has, it would mean an army of upward of eight million' men,” says a statement issued by the National Geographic society at Washington, D. C., “and this does not take into account the fact that the recent wars in the little country have made such fatal inroads Into the per- centage of adult male population. Probably, if the Unitea States called as many men to the colors in propor- tion to the adult male population, it would men an army of twelve million men. Austria’s Heavy Hand. “These figures show what a heavy hand Austria-Hungary laid upon the little country whose army gave such a remarkable account of itself dur- ing the two wars it has just passed through before this third one descend- ed upon it. How terrible the ravages of the wars in the near east have been is indicated by the census of con- quered territory taken by Bulgaria in the early months of the present year. That count showed that where, pre- vious to the wars, there had been a population of 702,000, there is now a population of only 301,000. Of course Servia did not suffer that much, but these figures are indicative of the-great wars-it had to face. “Military critics everywhere admit that in matters of discipline, leader- ship, adamantine spirit, and elan, there Is no army its size in the world that can make a beter showing than the Servian army made during its wars with Turkey and Bulga I is u fighting force thut is conceded to have every quality of strength that a ilitary machine may possess Distinctive Organizat “Its plan of organization tinetive.

Service in the national army begins at twenty-one and ends after forty-five. In the Landsturm it begins at seventeen, ends at twenty-one, begins at forty- six, and ends at fifty. The National Army. “The national army consists three bans: The first ban including ali able bodied men between twenty- one and thirty-one; the second ban all between thirty-one and thirty-eight, and the third those between thirty- eight and forty-five. “The first ban has cadre, a school through which every able bodied man of twenty-one must pass. No one is allowed to change his na- ticnality while belonging to the first ban; nor can any member thereof re- ceive any outside appointment or be- | its come even a monk until he has his term in the army.
