NEW York, Mar. 9.--The latest re,
ceiyed foreign papers contain remark
able speech Of Field Marshal Moltke.
II was a note addressed to foreign pow.
ers, rather than statement for domestic
purposes. Moltke says:
The real question brought before the
House is whether henceforth Germany
shall bear the heavy loss necessarily iu-
CURED by keeping 4l0, 600 men on per-
manent peace footing. and that the ques-
ton must be considered in the light OF
our home and foreign relations. The
present generation could not hope to
escape the onerous duties connected with
the maintenance of large ornaments.
and it was but too probable that Ger
many would be obliged to protect for
fifty years TO come what she had gained
in five months. Germany, by the last
war, won the respect, but certainly not
the love, of her neighbors, and in what
ever direction the members might turn
their eyes, they would find nations
haunted with the idea that Germany was
likely to become disagreeable neighbor
before long. There was strong French
party in Belgium, notwithstanding
that Germany had repeatedly saved
the independence of that kingdom.
1t was but too we'll known to those who
sympathized in the war of 1870, that even
England had recently witnessed the pub
LEGATION of pamphlets contemplating the
chances, not of q French, but of q Ger
man landing in that country. Denmark
had increased the number of her coast
ing vessels, deeming il necessary to pre-
pare against German descent. Nay,
Germany was even charged with the in
tention of invading the Baltic provinces
of Russia and coquetting with the Ger
men subjects Of Austria, AMI all this
when France had copied the whole sys-
TEN of the German military organization,
and by extending the duty of the mill
tary service over twenty years, and CIV
ing the law retroeressive force. She
has passed an act for an army Of
l,200, 900 men. and a territorial force
of one million. France had now
l52 regiments of infrntry, instead
Of ll6 as before the war; 1913 batteries,
instead of l59. as formerly. She began
the war of 1870 with eight corps d'arme,
and she had now 10, and while Germany
had hitherto spent less than 100, 900, 900
thalers on her troops, she does not hest
tate to appropriate 17l,000,000 thalers
for like purpose. The French Legisla-
tive Assembly the other day actually
forced an extra sum of 100, 600, 600 thai
ers on the government to enable them to
drill this year French towns vie with
each other in building barracks, setting
apart drill grounds. etc. To be sure, o
great majority of intelligent Frenchmen
bear their defeat with more dignity than
would appear to be the case from the
orations of public speakers, and if the
French Government is convinced OF the
necessity Of promoting peace for some
time to come il is above all owing
to the fact that a judicious Gen
eral WAS at the head of the
nation. Still Germany remembered but
too well the sad scenes of some years
ago, when the French Government was
carried away by extreme parties and hur.
ried into an imprudent war. He was
sorry to say that, however, many people
in France might be opposed to the rope
titiou of such a course, no one who lis
tened to the vociferous cries for revenge
which penetratedacross the yosges coult
abandon the idea that what had happened
once might happen soon again. He ar
gued that all experience showed the com
parative worthlessness of militia, al
though it was true Americans ultimately
conquered with troops modified from
the militia forces but the French mobil
iers had been but OF little use. Anothe
argument against militia was the DANCE
of arming people promiscuously whe,
sectarianism was so rampant. He con
cluded with strong appeal for the army
