CONSCRIPTION.

kary, and eyen, then it might be impossible to give a decisive answer. The conscrip tion laws under NAPOLEON differed from these by which the revolutionists gathered their armies and defented their enemies, and NAPOLEON's armies were actually smaller than those which the revolu tionists mustered, although, no doubt, they were better trained. But two grent factors would have to be remembered in coming to any conclusion-one, NAPOLEON's magnetic influence, and the other his military genius. It took twenty years of war, and entailed many more. years of suffering, to reduce the power of NAPOLEON, but the principle of compulsory military service was firmly fixed in Europe, and the next war found still larger armies in the field and even proved its advocacy in quelling the ambitions of another would-be NAPOLEON, while at the same time secretly aiding the ambitions of those who even then saw in it the capabilities which the old type of sonarch found in standing armies.

In the meantime, to give the other side of the picture, there were nations which found in conscription a practical means for defending their country against aggression without letting it lead thera into militorism. The case of Switzerland is the one most cited in this connection, although, of course, the peculiar geogra phical position of Switzerland and the topography of the country made some form of universal service imperative and easy to attain. The Swiss had been fighters for generations and had supplied troops to all the countries in Europe, but it does not appear that the vice of militarism ever touched Switzerland A survay of all the countries which have adopted conscription would, we think, show that the danger of conscription breeding militarism varies according to the nature of the polity obtaining in the country. France, as her institutions have been liberalised, has shown less and less militarist proclivities; in fact, the prin eiple of conscription itself was at one tine in danger as a result of the immense unpopularity of army service.
