In France the militin which had not been called out for many years, was abolished in 1789, The regular army was not very popular, as two-thirds of its officers, being noblemen, were reyalists or suspected of royalism, and resigned or deserted. In 1991-there was a call for vohunters, and after that it was very difficult to obtain recruits for the regular regiments. The regulars were very soon outnumbered by the volunteers, of whom those who were enrolled in 1701 and had had six months' training before the war proved very good, while those enrolled in 1799, who were sent to the front with out training and with uninstructed of cars, were more trouble than they were worth. The generals asked to be allowed to amalgamate the volunteers with the regulars, but the Legislative Assembly thinking that the regular army reactionary, would not listen to the pro nesal. In 1793 recruits were raised by coaseription, and before the year, was ended the formation of new units was prohibited, Finally, in 1794, the volun- teer and line regiments were amalga mated, and the old regulars absorbed into

For the present war new units have been formed in very large numbers, and this was evidently necessary when the Aany had to be increased tenfold. But the wastage of war is always enormous, and the stage is very quickly reached when the ineroase of the number of units must come to an end and when all the recruits raised must be utilised to main tan at full strength the units already in the field. The training of recruits to be sent to join a regiment which has already had some experience of war is an easier matter than the formation of a new prepared than were ever the peoples of any have always done, and who dress too
