[1] i.e. the territory once under the jurisdiction of an imperial
_Vogt_ or _advocatus_ (see ADVOCATE).
[2] The question, much disputed between Germans and Danes, is
exhaustively treated by P. Lauridsen in F. de Jessen's _La Question
de Sleswig_ (Copenhagen, 1906), pp. 114 et seq.
[3] See the comparative study in Percy Ashley's _Local and Central
Government_ (London, 1906).
[4] The _Kreis_ in Wurttemberg corresponds to the _Regierungsbezirk_
elsewhere.

notification to the police of any change of address (even temporary),
of course makes it easy to determine the domicile in any given case.
[6] Actually between 1883 and 1908 over five million recruits passed
through the drill sergeant's hands, as well as perhaps 210,000
one-year volunteers.
[7] These last have a curious history. They were formed from about
1890 onwards, by individual squadrons, two or three being voted each
year. Ostensibly raised for the duties of mounted orderlies, at a
time when it would have been impolitic to ask openly for more
cavalry, they were little by little trained in real cavalry work,
then combined in provisional regiments for disciplinary purposes and
at last frankly classed as cavalry.
