August 1911, was 14,000,000, la course of the first year the law was altered, and since then large numbers of men have been submitted to new examination and pressed into some part of the armed ser rices. These are referred to below as "recuperated.". Of the total mobilis- able, about three millions had been axempted, and of these, as will be seen balow, beatly a million have been re cuperated for service under pressure of necosity. Almost the whole of the remainder consists of men regularly mobilised, yet to be mobilised, or left in the war industries and other necessary occupations.

The war began with the mobilisation of all men who have gone through military training (including the existing active army of 870,000 men and its reserves), making a total of 4,500,000 men. From

this point onward,' the scretions are shown in the following table, the yield of combatants of each new cinas (ie, not including garrison services and labour Batalions) being taken at450,000 men: 1914 August
