here from Paris that the secret council OF
war has ordered a large increase in the
cadres OF the army. by which 1i5 new bat

thoroughly aroused public opinion here, and
especially in view OF the announcement that
the French artillery has already been re-
armed with quick firing guns France. un-
der the new system, will have 1)5 more
new battalions on peace footing than Ger
many, and the German military authorities
now intend to hasten the equipment of the
army with new Krupp quick-firing guns, al
an expense OF 26o, 900 o0C marks. The Ger
man navy is being rapidly provided with
the same type of guns. not only in the case
OF the new vessels, but on board the older
vessels. At the same time ski,fully man
