roN moLTKE,s WAKxING.

In the German parliament last week
the items of the war estimate, which had
been referred to the budget committee,
came up for discussion. The increased
grant for one hundred and five new cap
taincies gave rise to protracted debate
Gen. Won Moltke insisted on the neces-
sity of the grant. He said he wished for
a long peace, but the times did not per-
NIT such hope. On the contrary, the
time was not far distant when every gov
eminent would be compelled to strain
all its strength for securing its existence.
The reason for this was the regretable
distrust of governments toward each
other. France had made great strides
in her defences. UtcOmmOnly large
masses of troops were st present between
Paris and the German frontier. Every.
thing France did for her army received
the undivided approval of her people.
She was decidedly in advance of Ger
many in having her cares for war ready
in times of peace. Germany could not
avoid measure DESTINED to compensate
for it. The general stated that the
French military budgt exceeded the
Germans by Is 100000 francs a year,
exclusive of extraordinary grants. He
would not discuss the question whether
France intended to bear this enormous
burden for prolonged period, OF wether
she was arming for definite purposes
only; but ne must needs say that. as
much as he desired peace, he did not be-
lieve in it. The French journals were
remembered how many times she had in
vaded disunited Germany. The French,
he said, apprehended similar treatment,
now that Germany was united. Hence
the haste, zeal and uncommon intelli-
gence with which the colossal work of
French army reorganization was being
completed. Hence the locating of exces-
sively large numbers Of French troops
especially cavalry and artillery, between
Paris and the German frontier, a meas
ure which Germany would sooner or
later, be obliged to reciprocate. In
France the army was the pride of all
political parties. Its defeats were for
gotten, and its future was regarded with
confidence. In Germany there was a

was then adopted. The progress, cente,
and socialist parties voted against it.
