To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before the first war Turkey had under arms 300, 000 men, which represented her standing army, but they were standing around over such a widely dispersed area that she did not have at the beginning of the war that many regular troops in action. The practical limit of her effective military strength is probably about 500, 000. Prior to 1909 only Moslems were eligible for military service, but after that time all Ottoman subjects became amenable to conscription. The Christian contingent was not ad...ded to the army at once, but 25% was taken each year, and the pre- caution was invariably observed to send the Christian recruits to stations farthest from their homes. At the beginning of the Balkan Wars the allied armies at first numbered about 625, 000. The Turk- ish Nizam and Redifs together numbered 300, 000. During the course of the war the allies had under arms about 800, 000 and the Turks 600, 000. Organization In the Balkan and Turkish armies the military unit of strength is the battalion, and in all except the Turkish armies the normal strength of the bat- talion is 1, 000 rifles.
