The Reply to Germany's Proposal.

Berlin. Sept. M.-Annoyance is felt
10 official quarters over the reply OF
the Washington government to Ger
msny's proposal that the ringleaders Of
the Chinese outrages should be pun
ished by the powers. 1t is the opinion
in official circles that President McKin'

only by the approaching election, but
by the increased seriousness of the
Philippines situation. The refusal Of
the United States to cooperate in a
plan for the punishment of the Chinese,

THE COST OF MILITARISM.

Prior to March 2, 1899. the regular
army consisted of about 25 900 men
The soldiers recruited for the Cuban
war were volun GERS, and they were
mustered out as provided in the act OIL
Congress of April o. 1898. By the act
of March 2, 1899, the regular army was
increased to 65, 600 and a volunteer ar
roy of 5000 mn was authorized for
service in the Philippines with the fol.
lowing proviso:
That such increased regular and vol
unteer force shall continue in service
only uriDg the necessity therefore and
not later than July l, 1901.
Hence, unless there is affirmative
legislation by Congress at Its session
beginning in December to maintain the
increase 10 the army in whole or in
part 1t will, on the first day of July
next, g reduced to 25, 900 men. There
was appropriated for the army for the
present fiscal yaar $114, 100000 When
he army consisted OF $4,000 men it re-
quired only $26,OOO,OOO a year to
support it.
If Mr.. Mckinley is reelected Con-
gress will rightly coustrue this fact into
Il demand by the American people for
large standing army, and the increase
TO 100000 men will be authorized and
made permanent. II Mr.. Bryan is
elected Congress will conclude that the
people are opposed to a large army,
and no legislation increasing it will be
passed. and on July 1. 1901, the regular
army will resume its former proportions
and the expenses OF maintaining it will
irop down to the old estimates, q say
ng of at least $SS 900 600 a year being
fl acted.
