The article presents information on socio-political conditions of several countries across the world. The bill to reduce and reorganize the Army, lately introduced by the Joint Committee constituted last session to harmonize the conflicting views of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, is alarming in size as well as in some of its contents. It contains 724 sections, some of them with many numbered clauses, and fills 294 pages of royal octave, being, as printed, about the bulk of an average volume of Statutes-at-large, comprising the whole national legislation for a long session.
