Jules Roche has made a sensation In the French chamber by a speech In which he compared the French and German armies greatly to the disadvantage oC the rormer. The first point he made was that since 1887 Germany had steadily spent more than France upon her army , until In 1894 the figure of 190,000,000 francs represented the excess oC military expenditure across the Rhlne. There Is a correspondIng difference , ho ( iechared . In the effective power at the disposal ] or the two countries The great problem oC modern military history was to secure the permanence oC the effectives and to keel ) every regiment 'p to its foil strenglh Not until 1893 had this problem been solved In Russia. Glneral lercler , the French war minister , wished an army to bo a school , not an Instrument , being thus di- recty opposed to time opinion oC the army committee. Iermanence oC the effectives , he said had become In Germany a cherished principle France first recognized the 11rln- clplo In 1875. But meanwhie Germany was openly carrying out the principle until by the law or 1893 she "brought about the great- est modifcaton ot tile century In mllary organizaton , " Id , Roche's analysis oC the erccts oC the new law excited the deepest In- torest. especiaiiy when he seemed to prove ! sp < DY 01CIal lgures the truth oC his assertion that for the purposes oC the two distinct oper- atons characterizing modern war-rapid and violent attack shattering the enemy's organi- zaton , and the occupation at territory as time attacking army advanced-tho newly constructed - struclcd German army was an all but perfect Inslrument. le declared that as a meter oC fact France had 406,000 effective troops and Germany 650.000. etc Sliimoneseki which has been selected 'as the spot where the negotiations are to take place between the Chinese plenipotentiary .
