fixed on France. suspecting that de-
sign to renew warfare was widely en-.
tertained in the latter country. Very
recently Prince Bismarck is said to have
declared that he cared little what took
place in Bulgaria, and that 1.-THE neces-
sity of German armaments is due to
France"
Every French newspaper, ''says the
official German journal, ''proves that
France is making rapid preparation to
fight. and that financial sacrifices are
being made to raise the efficiency of her
army. Germany must always keep her
eyes fixed on France"
Both nations are thus seen standing,
full-armed, the gaze of each riveted.
with jealousy, suspicion and expectancy,
on the other. When such q state Of
feeling exists. and has for years existed.
between two rival and neighboring
powers, which have been locked in
deadly combat, the danger to peace
must be very great. and a sudden out
break of a mighty war must be feared.
In the event of the coming of such q
war. the rival armies. whatever their
relative efficiency. would surely be
much larger than they we're sixteen
years ago.
A surprising statement was made, not
long ago. by well-known English mill
itary officer, that the French forces. on
war-footing Gncluding reserves. mill
tia, and SO On), would number not less
than two and half millions of men;
and that if a war should last three
months, all this vast multitude of sol
diers would be put into the field.
According to official figures. the total
German army on q war-footing is even
more colossal, reaching two million six
hundred thousand men. The regular
army of Germany in time of peace is .
little over four hundred thousand.
A new conflict between Germany and
France would certainly be bitter, des-
perate and doubtful; and thepresent sit
uatiOn is such that no matter how soon
the conflict may break out. it will not be
unexpected.-Touth's Companion.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.
The Spirit Of Antagonism Porvading Two
Rival and Powerful Nations.

The Spirit Of Antagonism Pervading Two
Rival and Powerful Nations.
Sixteen years have elapsed since the
terrible war between Prussia and he1
German allies and France took place.
Every one knows its result, and the
vast changes which it brought about.
France lost not only thousands of men.
but many millions of treasure, and Al.
SAGE and Lorraine, two of the most thrift
ty and prosperous provinces.
Prussia. on the other hand. not only
won complete victory over the French,
but found herself powerful enough to re-
store the German Empire. and place the
Prussian King over all Germany as its
ruler.
But crushed to the very earth as
France was, she recovered from her
weakness and misfOrtunes much more
rapidly than it had been supposed she
would. She paid the enormous indem-
nifty of five thousand million francs
which victorious Prussia imposed upon
her, years before it was actually
AuC' "isuiu ASO yCaiS oieCh thO az
France had once more become powerful
and fairly prosperous nation. One of the
first results of this rapid recovery was
that the French republic paid a great deal
attention to the army, which had proved
miserably insufficient in the conflict with
the Germans. 1t was imperatively nee
essary in the opinion of French states
men that the military force should be
put upon q sound and formidable
footing as speedily as possible. Ever
since that period vast sums of money
have been spent annually for this pur-
pose, and much attention has been paid
by the French to army organization.
Last year the expenditure OF the Minis
try of War was about six hundred mil
lioE francs Zone hundred and twenty
million dollars). while the total strength
of the army, on peace footing, ap-
preached five hundred thousand men.
There can be no doubt that, during
all this time, very many Frenchmen
have cherished the idea and the hope
that the day for revenge, and for recOv-
ering Alsace and Lorraine, would some
time come, and have looked forward
eagerly to that time. Possibly. more
over, this idea that another war with
Germany might arise, has been a reason
in the minds of French statesmen for
bestowing so much attention upon the
army.
1t is very evident that the Germans
have long kept their eyes anxiously

But while they can. no doubt, get pine

effort to make cucumbers out of sun

they succeed in curing the leaf under an

The situation Elsewhere.

The most Of the furniture factories at Grand
Rapids, Mich. were closed on the Sd inst, pre-
paratory to the Inauguration of the eight-hour
movement At Cincinnati the factories, en-
ploying about twelve thousand men, were
closed and will so remain until terms can
be made. With the other trades there was
considerable commotion, but in many instances
the troubles were compromised At st.
Louis great many workmen in the various
branches Of trade quit because their employers
refused to grant their demands for an increase
OF pay. At Pittsburgh the trouble was confined
to the building trades, and In most instances
where the demands were not granted n strike
was ordered, in which the carpenters and furni-
ture-workers will lead At Buffalo there was
no trouble worth mentioning, though the social
lists were trying to foment strife. In Washing
ton there was no trouble, but, on the other
hand, rejoicing among the street-car men,
whose working time was, in accordance with an
agreement made some months ago, reduced TO
twelve hours. The trades, however, were ex-
pected to strike for eight hours. In New York
tho piano-makers demanded eight hours work,
and threatened to quit II they did not get It,
From Ohio, where the eight-hour law went into
effect, great depression OF business was re-
ported. Where employers were unable TO get
their men to work ten hours, they either dis.
missed them or hired them by the hour At
Indianapolis all demands were refused and
few of the factories closed. At Boston the
trades united in demand for eight hours with
ten hours pay, and will strike II their de-
mands are not acceded to. At Milwaukee the
employees in the breweries quit work because
their demand for an increase OF wages was not
granted. The other workmen joined in a street
demonstration, and along the docks there was
considerable trouble on account OF the interior
once OF the strikers with the mon ut work.
At Detroit the employees Of most OF
the breweries quit work because the en-
ployers refused to discharge non-union men,
Increase wages, and decrease the house Of work.
The coal operators at Pittsburgh granted an in
crease TO the miners, and everything was quiet,
but in the Monongaff6la district the advance
was refused, and the men were ut work. The
advance was also refused at Youngstown, Ohio.
The strikers at the New York sugar rehneries
were paid of, and most Of them asked to return
TO work ut the old scale Of wages. The stone-cut-
tors Of Pittsburgh have generally secured nine
hours, but nearly every furniture factory is
closed. Two hundred plumbers quit work in st.
Louis and hve hundred furniture men in Gin
cinnati. Five thousand carpenters Of Bos-
ton threatened to strike for eight hours.
About two thousand ioumeymen carpenters
of b altimore struck for eight hours work and
pay. The bosses were ready TO concede ton
hours wages for nine hours labor. The
proprietors Of all the planning mills Mt Evans
Vile, Indiana, agreed TO open their doors to en-
ployes at eight hours work and pay, or close for
an Indefinite period.
