BERLIN, GERMANY, March Is. - The
Governments proposals for extra naval
credits were debated i'll the Reichstag to-

read report declaring tina. the increases
in the navy asked for by the Government
were necessary, and that the Government
felt sure that the majority OF the mem bers
of the Reichstag would concur in this
view.
What the Government now demanded,
the Chancellor said, was the minimum
sum required 10 guard the vital interests
OF Germany on sea and land. Prince
Ho henlohe's remarks expressing conf
dence that the majority would concur in
his view were received with silence, but his
reference to guarding the vital interests Of
Germany was applauded by the mem bers
of the Right.
Herr Marschall Won Bieberstein, Minis

the Government.
Herr Mueller stated that the party of
the Center was united In favor Of rejecting
the sums demanded for new cruisers and

might be ever ready to answer the call of
those who needed his priestly ministra-
tions, which were in constant requisition.
Every morning, without exception, he
was accustomed to rise before O'Clock,
and to celebrate mass in the sacristy at 5.
The rest OF the day would be devoted to
the performance of his parochial duties.
HIS judgment in all matters both re-
ligious and secular, was regarded by his
numerous admirers as almost infallible,
and the appeals for his advice and assist
ance were incessant.
Thousands to whom his characteristic
face and diminutive figure were familiar.
as well as those who knew him person
ally, will experience pang of keen regret
when they hear OF his demise.
