the German government. The German
government did not want to create Il
great navy, but to replace obsolete and
useless vessels at sea. He appealed to
the feelings of Germans and said he had
once INDUCED in the dream of a great
and mighty fleet, which would bear
the German flag over the seas.
HEAVES A GREAT SIGH.
These dreams, however, rapidly van
ished, In the presence of parliament
and the taxpayers many cherished
wishes had to be abandoned. He con-
cluded with remarking that he hoped
the reichstag would agree to the pres
ent modest request OF the naval au-
thoritjeS.
Count Won Mirbach, the Agrarian
leader announced that although the
Conservatives would vote for the crUis-
er credit upon this occasion they would
not promise to support its final reading
unless the government showed itself
more amenable to the Agrarian de-
mandS.
The reichstag's rejection of the new
torpedo grant was a great Hsappoint
ment to the naval authorities. Two of
these vessels We're to have been built
and they were intended TO be the swift
est vessels in the navy. 1t had been
planned that they should be construct
. ed so as TO develop a speed of twenty
five knots an hour and be able to make
"a voyage of 5000 miles without re-
coaling. They We're expected to be in
valuable for accommodating and for con-
veying dispatches, While being also
ava liable as torpedo catcherS
The general belief is that the govern
ment viii make another attempt to set
the reichstag to sanction the building of
these division btoas.

Bambach, Rightist, declared mill
tary force was useless except for de-
fensive purposes. The militia system
sufficied for Switzerland and the Unit
ed States, on account of their position.
In his opinion the most fearful state
OF all was a defensive system of the de-
moralized kind, like that of the Paris
commune.
Rfckert. the Freisinnnige leader,
said he believed the French, with the
exception of the Socialists, would be
