The Military Measure CoIdIy Re-
ceived-Comments OF the Press.
| BERLIN, Oct 25.-Tbe military bill Is
coldly received here, even In quarters
where the government expected support.
The National zeitung says that while 1t
desires to meet the governments wishes,
the governments demands are more than
1t Is prepared to sanction. The Germanis
| (ClericaD expresses dissatisfaction because
there will be an increase of over eighty
thousand men with a merely conditional
two years service. The whole measure
justifes the worst fears that the Reichstag
will reject the bill. The Kreuz Zeitung Is
the only journal that supports the govern
ment. 1t approves the Reorganization of
the artillery and pioneers, but refrains
from expressing its final opinion on the
details of the measure. Chancellor Won
Caprivi has ordered that an inquiry be
made as to how the Cologne Gazette OBJ
tanned the copy of the bill which it pub
lished yesterday. The nature of the bill
created bad impression on the bourse to-
day and there was heavy selling of German
8 per cent. bonds.
A Berlin correspondent says: Except the
semi-officisl papers the whole press declares
the military bill impossible 1t is cal
culated that in the last twenty years Ger
many has spent f600, 000, 900 on her army.
IF the increase of expenditures continues
probable that Chancellor Won Csprivi has
left a margin for notifications.
