Show Warsaw Barracks. The barracks at Warsaw, erected by the Russian czars to hold in check the unruly Poles, are by far the most spa-clous spa-clous In the world. The guns in the walls facing the city could easily level lev-el the capital of Old Poland to the ground, while the garrison maintained, numbering nearly 40,000 troops, could overawe any rebellion, unless the conspirators con-spirators had aid from outside. The barracks cover some 5,000 acres In the highest portion of the suburbs. The barracks at Aldershot, England, are the second largest in the world, having hav-ing accommodations for 20,000 troops, and covering 4,000 acres. The Cur-ragh Cur-ragh Barracks at Kildare, in Ireland, are in 10 squares, each of which has sufficient space for an entire regiment and its officers. |
