Germany's Position.

Germany'S Position.
There are occasional rumors that Ger
many Is moving extensively In the dlrec-
ton Of Manila. Let US look into some
of the good reasons why the United
States should feel no particular concern
over these rumors. There are many.
First. while the Asiatic squadron un-
der the German flag is an effective one,
1t has not yet shown the lighting quail
ties possessed by the feet under Dewey.
Second. the navy Of Germany tsksn as
q whole is doubtless weaker than the
navy Of the United State viewed 10 i,s
entirety.
Third, there is Alsace- Lorraine, which
the French hunger for just a much rs
they did IS years ago.
Fourth, the Germans have no coalin2
station along our coast, either east or
west.
Fifth, the affair between tho United
States and Spain in the Philippines Is
none Of GermanY's business, 4 fact that
Is we'll known both to Emperor William
and his advisers.
