SI26 OF THEIFi RESPECTIVE ARMIES ON A PEACE FOOTING. The Army tof France Greater Than That of Germany by Nearly 50,000—Warlike Preparations on the Part of Both Na- tioin^Bismarck’t Speech. Those who read the war sky of Europe ftvet that there ara clouds and storms ahead. Be* fore „ many months, they say, there will , be mitsic in the air. The speech of Bismarck to the reichstag has called attention anew to the subject. The equilibrium of Europe is so tense that a slight blow at almost any point would shatter it to fragments, Ifc is expected that the fragile fabric will crack along the line between Franco and Ger- many. When Bismarck aslcs for additions to the army Germany means war, the prophets say. They recall that Bismarck made the same sort of speech in the spring of 1SGG, and iu June of that year took place the battle of Sadowa, in w’hich Germany decisively whipped Austria. Again, in the spriug of ISTO, ho called attention to the need for strengthening the imperial army. Sept. 2 of that year Napoleon III and an army of CO,000 surrendered to the Prussians at Sedan. It is France again that Bismarck is driving at now. Years cannot Wipe out the wrath and shame of France over her defeat by Ger¬ many. Around the beautiful Place de la Concorde iu Paris are placed statues repre- senting the principal cities of the departments of France as they were before Sedan. Among them Is Strasbourg, in the lost provinco of Alsace. Ever since 1871 the statue has been hung with those ugly black and white bead funeral wreaths so common in Europe, Every year, on tho anniversary of the taking of the Bastilo, French boys are taken to the funeral statue and vowed to vengeance for the loss of the city. ‘ P >or Strasbourg I” the Parisians say, “we lost her, but we will get her back.” m m urn I ^ J deth * 1 .1 j li Tjf/ 1 tij II & * BBifTlnjr -35f jf/'v SRI M i 1 H e~ )>:! ALSACE-LORRAINBl. This map pg shows tho provinces that France lost 8sio in It , 3 no secret tbnt neither France nor Germany believes that Sedan was the end of the tussle, Germany insists that she wants peace, and would prob- ably keep it if France would let her. But France has been breathing fire and vengeance ever since ’70, and Germany has been strengthening Alsaee-Lorraine her fortifications along the frontier. Exceeding care is taken that no French soldier, artist or spy shall get inside these works and by any means get a sketch of them for the Paris government. As to France. France has been steadily in- creasing her army ever since Sedan. War credits are voted year by year, and small fights in Africa and elsewhere Men* to be en- couraged rather thdn otherwise, fa order that the French sol,liers mi Sbt keep their Hand in. France has made no bond about the ite creased size and efficiency of her army. A member of the cabinet recently said in ses- sion of the senate that, if it came to tbe test. it would be found that “no time had been wasted in the last fifteen years” by tho mili- tar 3'< The past year France has spent more than $17,000,000 on her army and defenses. Ballooning, torpedo experimenting and sea fitting, oYensive and defensive, have occu- pied closely the attention of the government. It was France that made the military balloon effective. “Un ballon captif* was among tho features of French military operations in the Chinese war. Its highest efficiency has only been reached since the Franco-Pnissian war. A glance at the diagram given herewith will show the comparative, size of the armies of France and Germany. Tho figures show the two armies on a peace footing—-pied de paix.” Tho peace footing of tho armies of Ettvope means that they arc like two dogs held back in leash, waiting to fly at each other’s throats. America is lucky to bo sep- arated by an ocean 8,000 miles wide from Eu- rope wi;h her armies on a peace footing. The diagram will show that in every branch of military service except infantry, the army of France is greater than that of German v. This Bi march and Von Mol ke knew w 'eU when they urged the legislative bodv of the empire to increase the German army . “France,” said Bismarck, “is a strong and weU armed power, her army is brave and rea lv to fight” tVTZHTPY --------- f-y a saBKaaaa e V;fht CAVALRY y " * ARTILLERY 7t 7*9 .VT-f, M/SCMAVTXa ?*;/*« ENGINEER COTPi DIAGRAM.

Then, alas, there are those who say that the modern Frenchman is a degenerate descend¬ ant of those French soldiers who captured Alsace from the Germans iu the first place, They say that brandy, absinthe anddebauch- ery aro cat i ng out the manhood of France. Rugged strength and steadiness seem failing the men, they say, leaving only fury and noise.

Newspaper readers are already familiar w itb the career of August Spies, the Anarch- Lt, who is now lying in the Cook county jail a t Chicago, under sentence of death on tho charge of murder. The infatuation of Miss Nina Van Zandt for him and her determina- tion to many him have again brought him j n to prominence. Ever since bis arrest and trial Spies has been spoken of as the handsom- est of all tho accused Anarchists, and, as will be seen l>y the of Mbs Van Zandt given here, sho is not a t all uncomely in appearance.

It was while carrying on this sort of work that they became interested in tha Anarchists, to whom they paid much at- tention, thinking, Mrs. Van Zandt says, that thev would do them good.

It is heedless to say that Mrs. Logan knew the professor was coming. She had beard of the interest aroused among those who took up boxing for exercise, and she hoped such a diversion would be just such as the general, needed. Geix Logan never saw through the trick! He looked up from his work and said> “Good morning” to the visitor, and ere long the whole gathering was talking about tbe value of boxing as a means of exercise. The general took one of the gloves the professor held out, tried it on; then took tho other, put it on, and began looking first at one hand, then at the other. The professor volunteered to show him some of the rudiments of the art, just to whilo away a few minutes, and the offer was accepted. Few men over had a better opinion of their own strength and powers of endurance than did Gen. Logan. When, after he had become a little too venturesome in his tactics, the athletic pugilist by a body blow sent him sprawling, his pride was somewhat disturbed. He vowed to learn something of tho science possessed by Lis antagonist, and then with his own great strength as an auxiliary he conceived lie would bo a match for most any ^teur. The ruse was successful. Mrs. Logan was rejoiced to see her hfisbnnd week a fter week receive visits from the professor, who in due time made an accomplished l»oxer of him, and, when an opportunity Offered ever alter, he sought to gratify his desire for the pleqsant and invigorating exercise.-* X\ ashing ton Cor.
