What They Mean to England.

BY EARL Acr.

THE CHINA MATL.

His Britannic Majesty's Ships on the China Station.

The world has been startled during the last few days by the sudden Announcement of an samous increase in the poss establishment of the German Army, which socording to these reports is to be mised from 600,000 to 883,0.0 mon. The Fronob have replied by voting an extraordinary. expenditure of £25,400,000 and by pro. posing to resume the three years' period of service abandoned in 1905..

Theno Sgures are meaningless unless we obtain a grasp of, the military situation con- fronting these two Powers.

The total number of Germans who can he called up in the event of wat is about | 9,800,0 0,, of whom about 4,600,0 10 mwy be considered trained men. The Fraich can mustar about three million trained

GERMANY'S 2,400,000 HOLDIKEN,

In considering the numbers which wil actually face one another oo the fronti r after mobilisation and concentastion are completed we need only take into account organised Geld units. Now the German Army possesses a peace strength of fifty divisives, which is doubled automatic ly on mobilisation. This gives us 100'divi- 20,000 division A5 sies. Taking

total of wa med..

Besides these, however, two millions. it is estimated that about half a million men of the Landwehr will be used in the fighting line, and endres necessary to in- corporate this number exist. At a mo- darata estimate, therefore, this gives us a grand total of 2,400,000 men. These are all in the pr'ne of life--under thirty-two! years of ag".

&

It is true, of course, that this vast strength cannot all be employed againss France. There are two other require- meats the defe ce of the Russian frontier. and coast defecco. The Russians occupy a very unfavourable strategical position, and the best Continental authorities are of opinion that they can have very little effect on the situation for at least a month. The Germans" maintain ten or elevan divisions in peace time upen this frontier. If this strength were doubled on moblim, tion it would be sufficient, with the help: of Austria, to wird off any danger in this

„SORE THROAT:

Its Cause and Curt.

If your throat is sore, awollen,. inflamed-if it hurts you to speak or swallow--you should at once take some Formamint Tablets..

They ease the pain at once-eare the Sore Throat quickly-prevent further attacks and maleguani you against infectious diseases due to germs.

Germs are breathed out by the sick, and we inhale them from the air. They are seeds-living atoms of plant life so small that we can only see them through a microscope, and then they look like mere specks, us shown in the above illustration.

These germs'grow and multiply at great speed in the warm moist lining of the mouth cavity. They also throw off poisons which cause various throut troubles and infee- tious diseases.

The most thorough and certain way to kill these germs in the mouth and throut is to suck Formamint Tablets, which are both a cure for throat troubles and a preventive of infectious diseases like Diphtheria. Consumption of the Lungs, Scarlet Fever, Measles and Tonsillitis."

Formamint is a genuine remedy. Over 7,000 physicians have publicly certified to its value. Hundreds of emincat people are also Formamint users, including the Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour, M.P., Lord Justice Buckley. and Queen Alexandra's confidential Secretary, the Hon. Charlotte Knollys.

The Archdeacon of Bristol writes!" "I habitually use Formamint as a preventive of Sore Throat." Viscount Ferrard writes: Sore Throat quickly disappears after using For mamint Tablets." Signor Caruso, the world-famous tenor, writes :-" I have found Wuling's Formamint Tablets very beneficial to the throat and pleasant to the taste."

Among medical men, Professor Seifert, M.D., the famous specialist, wres in The Medical Press and Circular:-"I attach great signifi cance to the worth. of Formamint Tablets. They are splendidly adapted as a preventive of infectious diseases, and I have prescribed then extens ively in Tonsillitis, etc."

Why continue to suffer from Sore Throat? Try this effectiveremely, which, by the way, is both palatable. and harmless.

It can be purchased at all Chernista.. in bottles of 50 tablets. But insist an genuine Wulfing's Formamint, and refuse worthless substitutes.
