The principle of the new Army bill Of
Germany, round which the combat of po-
liticsl parties is gathering is the Scharn-
horst principle that the whole people must
bear weapons The bill was conceived by
the Empsror's advisers, notably Count
Capriyi. In view of the threatening attitude
Of the dual alliance. Both Emperor VIII
liam and his Chancellor are agreed that
Germany must in her next war, fight armies
on her eastern and her western frontier.
As with the new rifles the loss of life will be
at least 40 per cent. higher than in former
wars. the present reserves of the
German army would not suffice for
ooHtlSuing for any length Of time
this double fight against France and Russia.
Only by putting under arms every available
man ia tho empire could Germany COM
mand large enough reserve 10 recruit sim
ultaneously a force fighting Russia and
force fighting France. The increase II the
appropriations contemplated by the new
bin Is said now to have been greatly under
estimated tho lowest possible figure being
100. 900. 900 marks. Tho Government.
it is said. proposes 10 raise this sum
by adopting the English tobacco
tax system and collecting high
tariff at cnstom-houses while forbidding to-
bacco culture in Germany. This will neces-
state. however. the indemnlhcation of a.
900 tobacco growers in Germany and will
excite as widespread opposition as would an
increase Of the beer tax as the lower and
middle classes are almost unanimously for
cheap liquor and tobacco. The Independ-
ents Social Democrats and National libe-
rails are bitterly opposed to both of the pro-
posed taxes. and It WAS 20 them especially
that the Emperor addressed bis warning at
the banquet as regards cheese pairing plans
for the army.
