FRANCE AND GERMANY DOING THE
CHlP-KNOCklNG ACT.

Each Trying to Worry the Other Into
Row-Prussia Much Excited over
Alleged Immense Military Preparations
by France-Latest Move ON the Board
BERLIN, May E.-There Is great deal
of excitement in Berlin and throughout
Prussia over the alleged immense military
preparations of France and the intimaticn
that these are made with a view to a war
Of revenge against Germany. The present
scare was begun by the publication in
France of the sensational book "Avant la
Batalle," which aims to show that France
was amply prepared for another, and sue
cessful war against Germany. This book
was printed both in French and German
and it obtainen large circulation in both
countries. In France, however, IL hal no
importance or lasting effect The Chauv-
inists threw up their hats little higher
than usual, and talked glibly of the recap
ture oil Alsace Lorraine But Chauvinism
does not rule just now in France, and the
book received but little attention from the
government, the legislature or the people
The cool reception OF the work in
France should have shown the Germans
that the book by no means echoed
the feelings OF the French people But there
is party of Chauvinists also in Germany,
which immediately proceeded 10 make all
possible capital out OF the incendiary work.
They printed long extracts from the book in
the newspapers of the party, accompanying
them with warlike comments They said it
was now evident that France was again
ready to march upon Germany, and they
taxed the Herman war Office with supineness
in not Immediately augmentins the German
forces on the frontier in consequence of this
warning. The people, however, took little
stock IN the prophecies of these professional
alarmists but within the last few days the
official papers, including Prince Bismarck 5
organ, The North German Gazette, have
5aken up the cry and are daily printing an
assortment o. small venomoas extracts from
"Avant Ia Eat!aille They have aroused the
whole people to a belief that another Franco
German war is imminent The military
officers who accept almost any excuse to
hope for war are in high spirits and the
preparations for the usual spring reviews
are mistaken by many people for the begin
ming of hostilites All these facts have de-
ceived many papers outside OF Germany

year the government is not only asking for
an unusual amount for military purposes
but the pension bill will also be large
