AGAINST THE ARMY BILL.
Herr Gr0eb9r Addresses the ReiChStag ON
the Measure.

BERLIN, July Sat to-day's session of
the Reichstag, Herr Groeber, Centrist,
who in the last Reichstag voted In OPP
position to the army bill, spoke against
the measure in the name of the Center
party. The Centrists, he declared, were
firmly oppose d to the bill, and all the
neWly-eleCted representatives OF the
party were pie dyed against it. From
military point of view the bill was
needless, and from an economical stand
point it was ruinOus. 1t would be bet
ter for the government to. enter
into an organic federation with
Austria than to increase the army SUI
pert1uOusly. The present government
game to secure a mouSetrap majority
was an undignified one. Doubtless if
the house knew how the government
intended to cover the extra cost In
vOlved by the measure, it would not be
able to find majority.
Herr Boeckel, anti-Sernite, said that
the members of that party would
only vote for the bill ON condition
that the costs be covered by
taxes enacted only from the rich
To secure anti-Semite support Chancel-
lor Won Caprivi must declare that the
government would not increase the
indirect 1000 tax. kerr BOeckel
declared that the anti-Semites
would strive to abolish the pos
sibility of heaping mp enormous
fortunes like those possessed by the
Rothschilds and Bleichroeders. He
added that the present bill must be the
absolute conclusion of the army. If it
were not, emigration from Germany
would increase.
Chancellor Won Capriyi reiterated the
statement he made yesterday that at
present it was impossible to give
the details of the financial plan
to cover the increased expendi-
ture that would be incurred
through granting the governments
demands. He asked Herr Boeckel to
trust to the governments honesty, and
promised to relieve the weak shoulders
of the burden of increased taxation.
Only the well-to-do, he said, would be
called upon to day the new taxes.
