The military resources of Italy are very considerable, but on the human side uneven in quality, Mussolini disposes of from 70 to 80 divisions, perhaps 1,500,000`men, in- cluding 200,000 European_troops in Libya and 50,000 to 70,000 in Abyssinia. In the course of the Four Years War Italy called over 5,000,000 men, out of her then popula tion of 37,000,000, to the Colours. That population has since increased by several millions.
