fireworks on the Curtiss bill to limit

ported and Cone opposed, with Candy
resenting the statement that the
newspapers were against the bill.
The new house bills we're: Kaas,
resolution to take limit OF four
years form all county officers, except
treasurer and sheriff. To allow each
legislative session to fix compensa-
ton for next session; johnson of
Roberts, creating a commission to
take charge Of the capitol building
and grounds; judiciary committee,

seats where no permanent location
has been selected; Burlington, extend
ing time of delinquent taxes in case
of destruction of records; Morris of
Sphinx, prividing manner of settling
bills of exceptions in criminal cases;
Tscharner, creating eleventh judicial
circuit: Roskie, making it unlawful
for any other than guards on du-
ty to wear military uniform; WOLF
muth, relating to the construction of
highways in mountainous counties,
where it is impossible to follow sec
ton lines.

At the CONCLUSION Of the prayer
melting services at the Baptist church
Wednesday evening, the members of
the church held a business session,
the object Of which was to take ac-
ton on the question Of calling a pas

F. Tilley, of Illinois, who has preach
ed in the church several times, found
great favor with the Baptist people,
and while here he had a conference
with the trustees concerning the pos

Pierre, S. D.-Senator Lockhart 10
one of the victims of introducing .

drawn by creamery men, attempts to
amend the anti-discrimination law OF
the state by applying 1t to buyers q )
we'll as sellers, the home creameries
claiming that they are suffering from
the unfair prices put On cream by the
big city houses when they have to
buy in competition with the local
creamery. While that appears to be
what was wanted in the bill by its
amendment, the man who drew it lust

of the present law, and left of the

minating companies. and the penal

would of course make every corpo-
ration in the state very very careful.
not to do any such a thing. But the
next time Lockhart has a bill sent to
him he will look at it pretty closely
before it gets out into the open.
The referendum bill by Senator
Dalton yesterday seeks to prevent any
measure from being presented to the
people at each election through the
initiative, in case 1t has been voted
down by the people. His plan Is to
prohibit the reintroduction of such
a measure within six years after 1t
has been rejected by the people.
While this might stop some measure
from coming along each election, 1t
would also meet strong objection for
the reason that a measure lost at one
election might through changed o n
ditions be just what the people would
want at the next one, and they would
not want such a bar put up.

Drain on the Navy.

The creation of a modern navy has
not been without important influence
upon the army by diverting enthusi-
asm as well as money from the Land
to the sea. 1t is not practicable, in
view of the difficulties which German
imperial finance encounters, to de-
vote twenty-five millions and more a
year to the navy and at the same
time to make the army all that it
might otherwise become. The new
Quinquennate marks almost halt III
the progressive development of the
German land forces simply and solely
for lack of funds. 1t is the need for
economy which prevents the rejuven-
ating of the corps of officers. The
equipment of the infantry, the field
gun of the artillery, and the saddlery
of the cavalry are all poor, but are
not renovated for the same reason.
The artillery suffers from low estaD-
lishments and insufficient horses, and
the siX-gun batteries are not able to
bring more than three or four guns
and wagon or two to maneuyers'
The corps of officers shows a consid-
cradle deficit owing to the counter
attractions of the popular navy. The
service of aviation has not been On,
cOuraged, but on the contrary ha1
been starved Had one-half of the
sums devoted to the navy been allOU
ted to the land forces many valuable
reforms desired by the War Minis
ters Won Einem and Won Heeringen
might have been carried out, and the
military situation of Germany might
have been greatly improved Devoted
as these large sums have been to the
creation of a powerful navy, they
have certainly filed the Germans with
legitimate pride, but, as Herr Won Hol
stein had the wit to foresee, they
have not essentially altered for the
better the strategical situation as
against England, and have conse
quently on balance, diminished the
security of the German Empire by de
priving its army of many things which
it needs.

The London Times on
Defects Of German Army

(Berlin Correspondent London Times
The writer has not formed a wholly
favorable opinion of the German
army, which appears to him to be liy-
ing on glorious past and to be uu-
equal to the repute in which it IS
commonly held
When we turn from theories of the
conduct Of war to their execution,
and examine in turn the various parts
of the war machinery without being
misled by the glamor and pomp OF
drill and parade, the defects of the
Germany army cannot be overlooked.
There was nothing in the higher
leading at the maneuyers of a distin-
guished character, and mistakes were
committed which tended to shake the
confidence of foreign spectators in
the reputation OF the command. The
staff work, though usually good was
not by any means above suspicion.
The infantry lacked dash, displayed
no knowledge OF the use of ground,
intrenched themselves badly, were ex-
tremely slow in their movements, Of
fered vulnerable targets at medium
ranges, ignored the service of secur-
ity, performed the approach marches
in an Old-time manner, were not
trained to understand the connection
between fire and movement, and
seemed totally unaware Of the effect
of modern fire. The cavalry drilled
we'll and showed some beautifully.
trained horses, while the cavalry of
the guard was well handled from the
army point of view, but the arm was
in many ways exceedingly old-fash
toned, the scouting was bad, and mis-
takes were made Of which our yeo
many would be ashamed. The artiI

Social Considerations.


The iron discipline of the German
army, the strong Imperialism OF 1hs
well-to-do classes, and the s.5M!s-
siveness of the lower orders, p event
the undermining of military auMnr-
ity by the Socialistic tendencies ct
large blocks of the working people.
But in the nation in arms the army
is the microcosm of the people, ana
in time of stress the results of Social
istic teaching will not be suppressed
so readily as in peace. The charaC-
ter of the German people is greatly
changing. The increase of wealth
and luxury has an enervating effect
upon all classes, and has its reflex
action upon the corps of officers,
which is less simple in its life and
tastes and less exclusively profess
siOnal than it was a score of years
ago. Commerce begins to attract the
class which, has hitherto regarded the
army as the only career open to a
gentleman. while in the army itse:s
there is a steady increase of the non
noble element. The large increase of
the urban at the expense of the rural
population tends to produce soldiers
less apt for the test of war and al
though the physique of the army is
still good, there has been steady
deterioration for many years past liz

practices and carries on from year TO
year, with far too scant regard for
modern progress, the methods which
were good enough in their day but
are no longer practicable under the
fire of modern arms. Theory may rec
ognize that great and even funda-
mental changes are required in tao
tics and in training to meet the new
conditions with success, but all evI,
dence shows that an army which has
not been tried in the fire is constitn.
tionally unable to profit by the az,
perience of others and to adapt itself
to the ordeal of modern war. Most
Of all is this true of the German
army, which supposes itself to be the
military salt of the earth, and fondly
believes that it will have no difficulty
in carrying out military operations
which other people and other armies
have discovered to be impracticable
For the cause of true progress, no al
titude could be more fatal.
No other modern army displays
such profound contempt for the es
feet of modern fire. Were this con
tempt due to the proved superiority
of German troops over others, there
would be something to be said for it
but the military history of Prussia and
the Federal states did not begin, MOI
will it end with the war of 1901

have here been raised to the high
est pitch of scientific development,
and because there are still in the
army some choice souls whose studies
of war deserve the fullest consider
alton. But students will soon cease
to go to this school in the eXpecta-
ton of seeing practice equal to the
theory, for in every arm and in al
most every service there are nova
days no better military models IN
Germany than are to be found else
where. Europe, Asia, and America
have not sat for forty years in the
school of Moltke in vain. The world
has gone on while Germany has STOOD
still.
