in case of large war ships is often continued
three years. The new Hohenzollern is not
designed merely for a pleasure yacht, but
Is SO stanchly built that she will serve as

war.
According to an official report, made in
last october. by order of Kaiser Wilhelm
the German navy consists of the following
vessels: Thirty-five ironclad ships, several
others In building; IS protected cruisers
and several more in the shipyard; 3 cannon
boats. Q dispatch boats. $50 torpedo boats

There are also for special use the kaiser's
yacht, transport ship, three surveying
vessels and four ships for harbor service.
Manning of warships.
No warships are more completely manned
than are those of Germany. The discipline
Is exceedingly strict, the punishments Sc
we're, but the results are satisfactory. The
Germans say that the drains Of whisky
and rum which Brittania provides for her
seamen daily have no place in their bill Of
fare. and they claim to produce more relia-
BILE sailors from men who are restricted to
a moderate use of beer and light wines
The German Jack" does not have much
money to waste when he gets back to shore
for his wages are low. Ordinary seamen
are divided into two classes of which the
HTSt receive wv n month";, tne second SZ.ZO
Extra allowance Is made each month for
clothing. Officers are also paid at moder-
ate rate. The first mate receives about $12
month and the second 50. First-class
deck officers receive about $3.50 year and
second-class officers only $780,
The seafaring population Of the empire,
all of whom may be called out in case Of
war, number about 5000. When all the
warships are manned there will still be a
reserve force Of 5000 men. Each year the
number of boys applying for the ship

increasing. Last spring $50 new ones were
placed on the school ships, an increase of
100 over the previous year. The seamans
course admits boys from twelve to fourteen
years Of age, who are reasonably healthy.
They first serve six months on the Nike, as
she lies In the Kiel harbor, and afterward
on other vessels The second year they
make q long voyage to South America or
the West Indies on the Gneisenan, and the
third year study artillery on the ship Mars.
At present there are about 600 boys on the
school ships. Musical training is considered
desirable, and every school ship carries its

Temple Emanuel Matters

A meeting of the board OF directors of
the Hebrew Temple Emanuel was held
last evening at the residence of 1.
Sachs, which was presided over by the
president, Charles Enock. Among other
matters which were discussed for the

to hold at an early date charitable
musical entertainment The musicale
will no doubt prove successful as some
of the finest amateur talent in the city
is in this congregation. The entertain
ment will be under the direction of A.
Wiener. 1t was also decided to open
the Sunday school of the temple at
