The "Daily Chronicle's” special correspondent in Berlin says the new volunteer army, of 100,000 men, will consist of twenty-one infantry and eighteen cavalry regiments, and seven independent squadrons, with artillery. It is estimated that it will cost 5000 million marks a year. Privates will enlist for twelve years, and officers for twenty-five The men will be educated in civil occupations during their service.
