At the end of '04 the territorial force would come to an end and in '05
there would be:--
(Old regulars, 24,000, after waste just enough
for drafts.)
New regulars 200,000
Mounted troops, second year 20,000
New reserve 478,000
Less to paid reserve 20,000
-------- 458,000
Paid reserve 120,000
--------
Total, all liable for national war 798,000
========
In these tables I have taken the drafts for India and the Colonies from
the old regulars. But they can just as well be taken from the new
regulars. If need be the old regulars could, before the fourth year, be
passed into the paid reserve, and the full contingent of 200,000 one
year's men taken.
