WILL RAISE THE LIMIT.
A Proposal TO Increase the Number of
Sailors in the Navy.

MARE ISLAND. April 1G.-A movement is
on foot at present in Congressional circles
10 have The number Of enlisted men for the
navy considerably increased. Thus far the
highest limit is 1000 men. but the new de-
mand is for L, 00O and The chances are that
it will be granted in due time, since our navy
is expected to be largely Increased within the
next few years. The principal question in
connection with this point Is, however,
whether that number of men can he OBJ
tanned for the naval service without certain
changes and Improvements being introduced
in the recruiting, managing and mode of
paying the crews
Among the sailors themselves and the ma
rines there is great diversity OF opinion.
The latter. especially those who have served
in the United States army, complain of
being too much crammed on board a man.
of-war, and they do not in other respects
enjoy as many privileges aud comforts as
land troops.
Many sailors on the other hand, object TO
tie themselves down for n term OF three
years with monthly pay of S13, while on
board merchant vessel they can earn S25
month and upward, and are in but rare
instances out for more than twelve TO
eighteen months at the utmost, even if they

ports. This class of mon argue that with
merchantmen they know beforehand tho
exact latitudes that they have to sail in,
while in the navy they may be ordered into
the vicinity Of the North Pole. while they
expected to be sent to the southern seas
for instance. They have, however, to run
The risk of a long voyage under a brutal
captain or mate in the merchant service,
willie the chances in that respect are more
in favor of the men in the navy.
1t is true that martinets are found In the
latter service also, but that is risk that
men have to run in other branches. At all
events, there are not nearly as many ex-
amples of ill-treatment on the part OF
superiors to their subOrdnates on record
in the navy as in the other service. The
presence of the commissioned officers acts
often as a check 10 acts of violence that
petty officers might otherwise frequently
commit.
Another point in favor of the navy is
that men who enlist are not molested by
prosecutions on the part of the union men,
if they should happen to be non-union, as
has but recently been repeatedly the case
in San Francisco, when they could not get
aboard their vessels without the protection
of a strong police force.

Socialists.
RESCUED BY THE POLICE.
Several Desperate Encounters Between
the Strikers and the Belgian
Authorities.
RESCUED BY THE POLICE.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

BRUSSELS, April 16.-1his has been a day
of extreme watcEtulness and anxiety on the
part of the authorities throughout Belgium.
Reports from all points indicate that the
strike is spreading rapidly and the temper
OF the strikers growing worse.
In this city the morning passed without
disturbances. Seve al suffrage meetings
were held, but they were orderly, and the
speeches not violent
Ihls afternoon, however. thousands of
working men held n turbulent meeting out
side the city limits. The object of the meet
lag was TO denounce the proclamation of the
Mayor prohibiting public demonstration in
favor of universal suffrage. The crowd be-
came uproarous, and shouted for revenge
upon the Mayor. The police ordered the
crowd to disperse, and the wOrkingmen
answered with ieers. The police drew their
swords ana advanced Some OF the crowd
opened fire with revolvers, and few threw
stones. but the rest retreated without
show of fight toward the city. Nobody was
Injured.
Mayor Bulls was walking home an hour
later, when some 800 socialists, returning
from the meeting, came down the street.
They hooted and jOsted him, and one of
them struck him heavy blow with n stick
on the head. He fell bleeding aud uncon-
scious TO the pavement. The police, coming
up, charged the socialists, and after fight
lasting ten minutes dispersed them.
Balls was still unconscious when taken
home, but recovered Consciousness toward
evening. and probably will be able to re-
sume his official duties within q few days.
This evening turbulent crowds fought
the police in several districts of the city
In one instance the mob became so threat
enlng that the mounted police were
forced to charge them with drawn swords.
The rioters threw a jar of Greek FIRE and
stones among the police. Many Of the mob
were cut or trampled upon. Twelve were
arrested. Several policemen were burned
and bruised.
The city is as II in a state of siege. All
places of amusement are deserted and the
police and the rioters have the streets to
themselves.
A dispatch from Mons says the rioters
have lad possession of many of the streets
there since early in the afternoon Re-en-
fuTcements of soldiers have been sent from
this city.

people, King Leopold opened to-day before

THE GERMAN EMPIRE.
The Causes Which Resulted in the
Present Powerful Federation.


The German empire of to-day was formed
in 1871. Prior TO that year there had been
no political unity in Germany since 1906.
when the ancient German empire, formerly
known as the Holy Roman Empire" came
to an end. The present German empire is
the result Of a number of causes of which
three date back as far as sixty or seventy
years before its formation aud stand out as
far more prominent than all the others
combined. To understand these three
causes it is necessary to know that at the
commencement OF the French revolution in
1883 the holy Roman empire an antiuuated
mosaic of political curiosities, founded
by Charlemagne 1000 years before was
composed of the ridiculous number of
500 States, nomnally independent, at the
head OF which were the hereditary enemies,
Austria and Prussia; that the Archduke of
Austria "a district whose Inhabitants were
not nologically GeTmans) was the holy
Roman or German Emperor; that the mass
OF the people were ground down by feudal
burdens and taxation, while the n bility aud
the clergy were exempt from taxation, and
that no German patriotism, or even feeling
OF German ethnic unity, existed.
Ihe three steps which eventually con-
Verted the motley of q century ago into the
centralized German empire OF 1871 we're: !.
The reduction OF the number of States 9
The elevation OF the common pie. 3. The
creation Of lofty German patriotism. The
first and the second began early In the Napo-
leonic era. By 1909 the number Of States n

Qhe holy Roman empire having been dis
