The nermmi OoTemmfnt'i Bcmoim for the New Military Dill. An erticle In the MllUar Wochcnblutt, under the head of the "War of the Future," presents the Gorernment'e arguments for tho new Military bill: "No one expects that any part of * ? II g.uwMranny will help ua on our west front, for in the event of war facing east and west Austria-IIAngary must concentrate all her forces on the east front. Italy has a very extended coaat line, which her rnilronds absolutely follow. A numlxsr of her largest cities lie ou or close to tho sea, ami are open to attack hy a hostile fleet. It is <juito possible that she might be compelled to keep back considerable for their defence, as her fleet nlone is not strong enough to hold its own against the French Mcdi terrancan fleet. lint, nllowing for the most favorable contingoncica, and tlint her array can immediately, upon mobilization, iako the field in the north, how can it assist us on onr went front? A direct invasion of French territory ucross the Alps would doubtless nssiU us most materially by compelling the French to divide their forces. lint to cross the Alps is no easy task, and could only he safely undertaken if the command of the seas were secured, and this Italy cannot he assumed to possess. besides, it would he a long and tedious operation. Asa mentis of Italian co operation on our west front a portion of the Italian army would therefore have to he sent across the Tyrol to join hands with us on our western frontier. Hut this ofieriition would have to he carried out on a single line of railway, in many respects unnduptcd for the purpose, and would take at any rate so much time that before it was accomplished the decisive blows would have been struck elsewhere, tier many can only bring a numerical suiieri orlty to bear against the French by massing the whole of her forces on her front. In the ease of a war with two fronts, this is simply out of the ipiestion. The Russian army is so superior to that of Austria Hungary that (Icriuaiiy must put up part of her own army on her eastern frontier, and then, far from lie ing numerically superior to the French, we should be inferior to them even allowing for one-sixth of their forces be ing immobilized on the Italian frontier. Kvcii if events at first took the same shape as hi |M7<), a few defeats in the field would no long.ir lay the interior of France open to invasion. The French would retire behind their double line of fortresses and intrenched camps to await there the mobilization of their second uj;uiiii^ IIIIU. ?i9 iiurmju i<?

It is, there fore, inconceivable that even undci favorable conditions any part of our western forces could he released at an early date after the outbreak of hostilities for operations against llussia."

At the battle of Woortli Lieut, (len. von Obcrnit/., whon leading the Wurtcmherders across the valley, received from tlie Crown I'rlnee the* order, nfready mentioned, to inarch on the roar of the French, but shortly afterward the Prussian ollicers coming from tin* battU ra^iu^ on the plateau told him that re in forcements were imperatively reiptired there, and ur^ed him to come to thci aid. A^ain the spirit of knowing "better than one's betters" exereised its pernicious influence, and although the power ol determining when and whether re-inforce meats shall be sent to any point of the battlelield should above all others rest absolutely with the supreme commander, (len. von Obcrnit/. elected to judge for himself, and on to the plateau he led his troops.

The Germans pained their victory by sheer weight of numbers, and the sup port, given to ther infantry bv an artillery overwhelmingly superior in number of guns, technical efficiency, and tactical employment to that of their opponents. The French owed their defeat to- the mediocrity of their commander. Against critics ami commentators on the arts of soldiers in the field, it is sometimes alleged that they are "wise after the event as regards the battle of \Vnorth, ft is only wisdom of tIris kind that the leading soldiers who took part in it can find any ground of justification for their nroceedincrs.
