The number of enlisted men in time of peace is 5836, increased for a
war footing to 11,532. These men are all drawn for service from the
coast provinces, their length of service being three years in the fleet
and seven in the reserve. From the time that men are drafted into the
service until they pass into the reserve a thorough system of education
is followed out. The depot for their reception is at Pola, where the
recruits (received first in shore barracks) are divided into twelve
companies, the arrangement being as nearly as possible in conformity
with the intelligence of the individual. Company No. 6 is made up
entirely of firemen and coal-heavers; Company No. 12, workmen employed
in the gun-foundries and dock-yards. The remaining ten companies are
the sailors of the fleet. Whilst in the company, the recruit is taught
the elements of the drills and discipline, and a certain time is
devoted each day to teaching reading, writing, and more especially the
German language, as a great number of the recruits are totally ignorant
of any tongue except that of their native province.
