Russia and France Grumble, but Are Pow.
erless-The New Bin Says Every Man Not
Physically Incapable Must Bear Arms;
LoNpoN, Dec. 4-There appears TO be a
certainty that Russia and FTance have ex.
changed notes regarding the provisions Of the
new Austro-H Hungarian army bill. The stu.
alton is strained, but though the car may be
indignant at the increase Of strength which
tho measure will give to his southern neigh.
Dor, any protest he could make would be Of
little avail
The representations Of Austria to Germany
concerning Russian intrigues have had their
effect, and Austria feels encouraged to aug.
ment her army.
This can only be done by changing the
terms and manner OF service, whatever dis.
affection may result therefrom There VIII
be great deal Of murmuling among Glasses

Austrian emperor naturally relies upon the
support of those Of the rank and file already
compelled to serve, who viii foel grim sat.
isfaction at the inclusion Of others previously
free from service The standard Of height
has been reduced, and many exemptions have
been abrogated
This will add 10 the nominal strength OF
the army, but whether the element now in.
cluded in its ranks win add to its real eifec-
tiveness is a question to be eriously consid.
cred The new regulations take in every
man who is not physically incapacitated from
bearing arms, and the many men Of the
middle class who in the past have bought
their freedom from conscription will be com.
PEELED henceforth to serve or pay greatly in.
creased prices for exemption, a thing under
the prevalent corruption in Austria not diff.
ficult TO accomplish.
II is the hitter circumstance which causes
the worbingmen TO Grumble at the new bill
The widely spread corruption which seems
inherent in the Austrian empire renders il
easy for those who have money TO escape
service altogether or 70 be detailed on merely
nominal duty, and although medical students
or only sons Of widows, whose status is gen
orally not too curiously inquired into may
not 50 easily escape the dangers Of war, it j.
only a question as 70 how many more florins
they may have to pay.
The purport Of the bill, whether carried
out mildly or severely, will be at least to in
crease the efficiency Of the navy. and it /,
undoubtedly Austria's object to increase her
strength in tho Mediterranean.
