greatest readiness this year in allow
ing each others officers to view the
army movements Of their respective
countries A number of German Of
ficers will be at the Russian maneuvers
lasting five weeks. and the number Of
Russians who will attend the German

fore. Great courtesy is shown by both
sides
Courteous to Americans.
The United States military attache
| at Berlin, Major H. fallen. also re-
ceived an invitation to attend the Rus
sian rnaneuvers. but he will be unable
to go. as he will attend the Austrian
maneuyers this week. being also ac-
credited to the government of Austria

the German maneuvers.
Another act of unusual courtesy is

United States embassy at London, to
participate in the German maneuvers.

year will be practical tests of auto

specially made for army purposes by
an Aix-Les Chapelle firm.
The complete surrender of the gov
eminent to the agrarians has had the
effect of increasing the confidence and
righteousness of the latter. The agrar-
ian meuthpieee, the Deutsche Tage
Zeitung, commenting jubilantly on the
fact that the government, in closing the
diet went so far as to thank the dele
gates who had just insolently rejected
the emperor's pet measure, saving:
The long expected, hoped for, beg
ged for sop to the friends of the canal
has not been given. In spite of all
intriguing, lying, and crushing the
word has not been spoken
The frequently inspired Post says:
There is no doubt the introduction of
the bill was a grave political mistake"
The paper then proceeds to formu-
late rule that the government here
after would best first find out whether
the conservatives are willing to support
a measure before introducing it. In
view of the fact that the government
declares it's intention to re-introduce
the canal bill at the next session of the
diet, the Agrarian newspapers say they
will continue the opposition to the
measure. $50
Defeat of Canal Bill.
The liberal and larger part of the
centre papers continue to bemoan the
defeat OF the bill and express astenish-
ment at the complete collapse of the
government. A leading centre organ; |
the Cologne Volks zeitung says:
1t would require the power of Mark |
Twain to adequately draw the recent |
crisis. The disproportion between the 1
big words and the small deeds of the /
government is too faring.'
The Cologne Gazette exclaims: eff

The Voerwarts and other socialist
papers attack Prince Hohenlohe, the
German imperial chancellor, reminding
him that he has not kept his solemn
pledges made in the reichstag to see
hat the Prussian law in regard to the
Utilization of political clubs be rescind-
ID and threatening to take action in
he reichstag.
How their victory has pulled up the
orussian agrarians was frequently
manifested in the newspapers this
week. The, Deutsche Agar correspon-
lent advocates the extension of the
provisions of the anti-strike bill to
gricultural laborers, forbidding the :
after to strike under any circum-
tances under penalty of Imprisonment
n Jail and corporal punishment.

Another Agrarian paper attributes
