GERMAN NAVAL BILL UP
Prince Hohenlohe Addresses the Reichstag in
Its Behalf
Declares an Increase of Ships an
Absolute Necessity to Main
tain Gcrmnny's Prestige.

BERLIN, December 6.-The reichstag to-
day begen the debate upon the first read
ing of the governments naval bill. The
imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe,
made statement on the subject, saying:
I'VE absolutely require an efficient navy
to maintain the position created for us by
the army. This conviction has gained
ground with very large sections of the
population, and 1 declare in the name of
the federated governments that they con-
slider as an imperative necessity that the
strength should be fixed by legislative
enactment. The bill, it is true, demands a
certain sacrifice from the reichstag, but
by it's adoption the hands of the govern
ment will also be tied. the idea of Il
policy Of adventure is far from the
thoughts Of the government as is any in
tention of rivalry with the great maritime
powers. If we desire to secure a position
in the concert of the powers. which we
must have, fleet, though of mod
est dimensions, will be adequate. l ask
you to adopt the till for the welfare of
the fatherland." Prince Hohenlohe's speech
was received with cheers from the right.
Admiral Won Tirpitz, the secretary of
planning in detail the necessity for intro
ducing the bill to strengthen the German
navy. He pointed out that the proposed
new Slips woul1 establish basis which,
for a long time to come, would meet the
requirements of the country. b. the adop-
ton Of the bill the next reichstag would
be debarred from retarding the rate of
restrictions would be imposed upon parlia-
ment.
