BERLIN. July 13.-At to-day's session
Of the Reichstag. DIR. Osann. a National
Liberal. moved the adoption OF resolu-
ton. declaring that In consequence Of
the fodder famine the proposed army
manoeuvres ought not TO be proceeded
with.
General Won Kaltenburg- -Stachu. min
lister Of war, opposed the motion. lie
said that the control Of the manoeuvres
was a prerogatve OF the Emperor. and
they had no right TO interfere. He added
that the Prussisn authorities. taking INTO
account the prevalent distress, would pro-
vide fodder magazines for the horses and
buy cattle from the people I'm the suffer-
ing districts for the use OF the troops
taking part IN the manoeuvres. The
armies, he further said. would be accom-
panied by water-carts
Despite the war minister's statement
as TO the Emperors prerogauvc He--
Bachernheld said that the Rechstag had
the right 10 discuss the subject. and TO
this view the house agreed.
Herr Brockman (centrisD declared that
he was opposed 10 the manoeuyres.
Herr Fregs Conservative said that In
his opinion limitation OF the opera
tions was necessary.
After some further discussion the SUBJ
ject was dropped. and the House pro-
ceeded with the second reading OF the
Army bill.
Dr. Leiber (CentrlsD made n speech
against the bill. but advanced no reason
against It's adoption beyond those employ
ed by him against the original bill In
the last Reichstag.
Chancellor Won Capriu. who has re-
covered from his recent sickness replied
10 Or. Leiber's arguments. and con-
cluded by asking the House TO pass the
bin In the shortest time possible.
A vote was then taken on the nrst
article OF the BILL and II was passed by
vote OF 1893 to Isl, a Government ma
jority OF eleven. Count Herbert Bis
marck supported the Government. The
article fixes for two years the peace
effective at 1929 men. The volunteers
for the year are not included In this
number.
The minIsterlalists are jubilant at this
result which practically amounts 10 the
passage OF the whole bill.
Prince Henry Zu Carolath- -schoenai'h
moved that two years service be hAed
legally.
The Chancellor stated that the Govern
ment had no intention TO return to the
perlence showed that the permanent
retention of the two years system was
impracticable. He begged the Prince TO
be satisfied with this assurance.
The debate then proceeded. A vote will
be taken tomorrow.
The Governments supplementary credlt
bill was offered TO the budget committee.
