In the Navy there were 141,467 enlisted men, 41,473 Naval Reserves and 14,600 Naval Militia in the Federal service. There were 6,000 men In the Coast Guard and 6,609 in the Hospital Corps, making @ total of 208,340. Enitsted strength of the Marine Corps was 29,971; reserves tn the sor vice, 1,070; National Naval Volunteers, 704; retired men tn active duty, 14. There were approximately 12,000 officers tn the Navy and 1,166 in the Marine Corps, In other: words, on that date the Army had, including oM- cers and enlisted men, 819581, and the Navy, 254,265, making @ total armed strength on that date of 1,074,146 men, all of was not a drafted soldier in a single training camp, | Let Americans realize what these figures mean for a peopl whose policy had always been pence. Great Britain was regarded as a nation that must never be on prepared to fight. Yot before the war the total effective land ngth of the British Empire, including ehe Indian Army and! Colonial and native Indian Corps, was only 243,357. The Territorials and reserves of all kinds amounted to 711,575. | There 1,074,146 Americans already under arms are equal to early 40 per cent. of the entire number of United States troops; engage’ in all branches of the service during the whole period of| the Civil War. | 1,074,146 men straight into Uncle Sam’s fighting service! And that, remember, before the draft had called to training even the first from the reserves of a nation of 100,000,000. | | | | | | NEW YORK’S NEW STATE POLICE. HIS Commonwealth is greatly interested in its new State Con- ‘ stabulary. It hopes soon to recognize ash-gray uniforms and purple hat bands as the best guarantees of safety and order im thinly settled districts New York has ever had. With the war calling men to camp and to thg front, there will be, as Major Chandler says, “hundreds of unprotected women and children” to be guarded from danger. Tho rural armed police patrol, | with its stalwart riders travelling in pairs, should prove a comfort to lonely households and a terror to the lawle: | “T don’t know a thing about politics,” Major Chandler told The! Evening World, “and I am anxious to keep this department a purely protective proposition.” That is as solid a platform as any Superintendent of State Poljce need ever build for himself. Major Chandler can be sure New York will back him as long as he stands on it. 8. THE ARMY ATHLETIC FUND. HE Evening World’s Army Athletic Fund Show at the Hippo- drome to-morrow night will offer—thanks to the expert suc- cess makers who have generously volunteered to assure this one—-a bill that apparently only a limited number of New Yorkers feel they can afford not to see, To most of those ‘present it will be an added and particular sat isfaction to feel that they have helped to do something which means much to men who have weeks of hard camp routine ahead of them,| with mighty little chance of evenings at the theatre. \ The Army Athletic Fund will buy baseballs, bats, footballs, box- ing gloves, disci and like articles invaluable to husky boys for whom! athletics are about the one possible, unfailing recreation in the grim| business of getting ready for war. - | The Evening World believes New Yorkers need only to be re-| minded what can be done to make camp life less of a dreary grind for men who have had to leave their normal lives behind them to help the Army Athletic Fund and keep on helping it. | Hits From Sharp Wits ' The wise doctor may not know!
