(rRoM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT 10
THE TIMES.
Observation-Disclosures April 70


Will you permit an impartial observer to
contribute a few strange facts 20 the current
history of the day ? Much as has been said
upon the merits Of the German Military Bill,
It's real history is yet uuwritten. Without pre-
tending to trace the matter 70 It's origin, I may
yet be able to give you some Of its later intri-
cacies. The idea of asking for permanent es-
Inmates originated at the War Office. The
Emperor had the Bill laid before him by what
is called the Military Cabinet, and, being as
sured of the necessity of the measure, and the
certainty Of its passing, consented to its intro
duction. After this there was nothing for
Prince Bismarck but to initiate His Majesty's
example and approve likewise. Military bust
ness being considered the personal affair of the
Royal Commander-in Chief, no Minister could
presume to interfere alter the Crown had pro-
nounced a decided opinion. The Emperor's
merit in reorl anizing the army 10
years ago, and making it the admirable tool it
now is, also had its effect in REFRESHING dissent.
While the leading personages were in this
peaceful frame of mind, Parliament met. It
was soon seen that the majority were in favour
of the Bill, except the clause involving perma,
nent estimates But the parties who had
framed the paragraph were nothing daunted by
this partial disapproval. Quite the reverse.
AS they were military specialists with an acute
perception of what would be most desirable to
promote their professional views, they were
not oVerburdened by constitutional s~cruples.
