BERLIN, Nov. 28.-The revelations
of the Hamburger Nachrichten will
not after all, be allowed to pass with
out judicial inquiry. The Frankfort
Zeitung today carried out it's threat
and denounced the Hamburger Mach
richten before the states attorney for
high treason. and the Koenigsburg
Zeitung did the same. Both actions
are due to those two newspapers be-
ing prosecuted by the government for
indiscreetly publishing state news.
There is little doubt now that a par
liamentary conflict will occur during
this session of the reichstag over the
naval budget. The government organs
have hiterto denied that a large in
crease In the navy was intended, and
the figures of the naval budget were
so juggled that 1t looked as if the
government demand was not in excess
of those of former years. A searching
analysis of the figures, however, re-
veals the fact that the reichstag is
really asked to sanction an increase of
about 200,000,000 marks. The bill asks
that this years expenditures be in
creased 60,000,000 marks and the mat
ter is so arranged as to necessitate
an additional expenditure of 10000, 900
marks during each of the next two
years. These sums are not entirely for
building Of new vessels, but are also
intended to provide for the expense of
manning them. In parliamentary cir
cles it is believed that the naval ex-
penditures of the next five years will
be largely increased if the reichstag
accedes to the present demands.
Emperor William, speaking recently
to Admiral Won Holman, secretary of
the navy, is reported to have said:
''The question of bringing the German
navy to the point of being really for
midable, not only for defense, but for
aggression, Is one of life or death for
the nation, inasmuch as it involves
as much as the state army does, and
whoever loves the fathefland, will
help me bring this about, as the Ger
man navy is at present wholly made
quate for its mission in the future
This imperial utterance is now cir
culating in the reichstag circles, and
Is much commented upon. It is GER
tain that no majority will be found
in the reichstag for these projects.
The Centrists and the entire Radical
wing are against it, which gives an
adverse majority of about 20. During
the week the government representa-
tives Of the naval department have
repeatedly limited, in conversation with
the deputies, that the rejection of the
| naval scheme means the disselying of
the reichstag.
In the diet, the government, through
Dr. MIGUEL, the minister of finance, is
asking for the passage Of bill to en-
| able it to use the yearly surplus, which
this year is over 60,000,000 marks in
order to cover deficiencies in any parti-
cular department, or to utilize it as a
contingent fund in the future. The
Liberals and Radicals are fighting this
proposal as a curtailment of parlia-
mentary privileges and as fraught with
danger to the institutions of the king
dom. 1t is believed, however, that the
government will get the bill passed.
