government would endeavor by every con-
stitutional means to secure the passage of
The army bill. He reminded the member
that the ablest diplomacy was not always
an efficient substitute for military
strength. and cited ;he experience of
Frederick the Great of Prussia The
chancellor, after speaking further, de-
Clared that If Count Won NIoltke and Cen
eral Won Room were present, they wunId
have supported the demands of the gov
ernment in more forcible language than
he had used and it was fact that there
was not living a German general who con-
sidered the German army to be anything
like as strong as il WAS III 1870.
Prince Bismarck, continued the chan
cellor, regarded the strengthening of the
army as an absolute necessity. In fact, it
was an open question whether at the
present moment the army was strong
enough TO take the offensive against
France alone They could not be in
different TO the fate of the frontier prov
luces.
In the name Of the empire and in the
iame of Prussia" concluded the chancel-
Tor, 81 announce that Herr Won Huene's
proposal is acceptable to us. We beg of
you To assist us 70 accomplish what we
regard as a necessity 20 maintain the
peace of Europe and the security and
honor of Germany"
The speech was received with loud ap-
plause. The fate of the bill was then dis
cussed in the Hobbies. The government, it
Is said, has Informed the army bill COM
mittee that if the bill Is rejected the
