Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.

Narrative: TO PRAISE the German imperial army—bound by the Constitution of the German Empire (1871) to obey unconditionally the orders of the Kaiser—would be a work of supererogation. Its present organization, authorized by military laws enacted between the years 1871 and 1899, is so perfect that it is looked upon as an example of great practical efficiency, and is even taken as a model to be imitated by other nations. The proof of its high efficiency does not lie solely in its great achievements in the field—magnificent as the world admits these to have been—but in the splendid spirit by which it is animated and in the rigid discipline which directs and controls it, in addition to the improving and perfecting processes to which it is constantly and intelligently subjected. The present peace strength, of all ranks, approximates 590,000 men; while it is estimated that on a war-footing the effective strength would not fall short of 3,000,000 trained men. Such an array of fighting men, with its simple but well-planned methods of recruiting, mobilization, and efficiency on taking the field, may well be Germany's pride, as well as the dread model for other nations. To rival it, as far as numbers go, is possible only to one other Continental Power---that of Russia. But in practical efficiency in taking the field, as a body of expert and disciplined soldiery, splendidly organized and scientifically equipped for purposes of offense and defense, and commanded by the most experienced and highly-trained military leaders, the imperial army of Germany may be said emphatically to be unapproached and without a parallel.
