Germany’s Vast Army

By Editor

At the coming summer maneuvers in Germany, Emperor William will exhibit a well-trained and disciplined army of one million men. At the close of the Civil War in this country there were under arms only a little more than that number. But that was a time of war. Why this vast army in Germany in a time of peace? There are no wars of any consequence anywhere in all the world at the present time. Men have been ardently teaching for many years that we are coming into the time when the world will have no more wars. But they do not believe their own teachings, else why should they spend so much on vast armies in these times of reputed peace?
