* The true figures are 105,000 and 135,000, but they are diminished by 3000 men, who were 
included in the war strength of the administrative body of the active army. 
N.B. The effectives of the active army either in time of peace, or on a war 
footing, contain an unvarying total of 25,000 men, who represent the various 
“ employes ” in the staff and other small bodies for the purposes of organization; 
these are included in the strength of the army and have existed up to this time, in 
the same manner as they now exist, only now in a larger proportion in consequence 
of the alteration of the elements that are combined in its formation.
