Hull Says It Will Be Passed Without
 Delay.

Washington, November 23 - Chairman Hull, of the House Committee on Military Affairs, today called meeting of the com mittee for next Tuesday.
 Tt will be in the direction of economy to pass the army bill without delay" said MT. Hull today. "The army now in the Philippines will have to be brought home in the summer-that is, those of the men who don't care to re-enlist. The trans ports that go out for them should depart laden with troops who are to replace them else the ships will make one voyage empty"
 MT. Hull's impression is that the Presi- dent wants authority to raise a regular army sufficient for the needs of the coun- try-100000 men If necessary, the number to be reduced when there was no longer need for them
 MT. Hull said the Taft commission had reported that 15,OOO F'ilipinos could be en- listed immediately in the army for the Philippines and that they would make good soldiers under American officers. There was no fear of a repetition of Great Britain's experience with the Sepoys, for the Filipinos, MT. Hull said have no na- tional, feeling like the natives of India.

GERMAN AFFAIRS.
Won BueIow Defends the Emperor-At-
 tack on Government.

Berlin, November 23.-In the Reichstag to- day Count von Buelow, the imperial chan cellor, again reviewed Emperor Williams speech The Wilhelmshaven speech, he pointed out, was delivered immediately aft CT the receipt of the news of Baron von Ketteler's murder.
 Tt would be incomprehensible," the chan cellor asserted, If no serious crime did not make the Emperor's blood flow faster.'
 The chancellor also said no case had been reported where German soldier had acted in China in a manner unworthy the good namo of Germany.
 Todays debate, which ended at a late hour this afternoon, was the cumination of series of sensa tional attacks upon Elm peror William and the government over the China bill. It was an oratorical contest be- tween Herr Rebel, the Socialist leader and Count von Bueow, assisted by General von GoSSler who although somewhat clumsy, Is no mean antagonist.
 Last Monday Herr Rebel demanded of the imperial chancellor of war a formal declaration as to whether it was true that the German troops In China had received general orders to spare no one. Neither Count von Buelow nor General von Cos ser had responded to this demand and Herr Rebel today read another letter in which the writer, a soldier, polntedly as- serted that everybody, including women and children, were slaughtered in a cer- tain engagement near Tien Tsin He also referred to yesterdays statement by the Agrarian leader Baron Wagenheim, to the effect that the Kaiser was being "syStemat- ically hlisnformed. and he said that this would explain the "ill-informed speeches" of the Emperor. Tn conclusion he ex- claimed:
 This Is the system that Is undermining all imperial and monarchial authority"

New York, November 23.-Bishop Henry c. Potter today delivered an address on God and the City" before an audie4ue of 2500 persons in St. Paurs chapel, in which he suggested the organization of a vigilance committee of twenty-five thons- and reformers to cleanse the city of vice. He favored a central committee of skaee or five men, under whose orders the pub lie committee should act. The bishop said in part:
 "If in New York tomorrow there could be organized vigilance committee suoi as was in San Francisco of 25,000 men sworn to serve for three years and pledged by night and by day when their business and their opportunities gave them the freedom for 1t, to see for themselves whether our souls had been smitten with the sorrow of that little victim of five years who was picked up in the streets the other day in broad daylight and rav- ished by some brute who had lured her out. Can such things be possible in God fear ing community?
 No. men and brethren, not If you and I had our eyes open and kept them open and stood where God calls us to stand to- day. And then, finally, we must have not only vigilance but persistence"
