1ERMAN NAVAL EXPANSION.
Burden Which the Country WIN Bs
Called Upon to Bear.

Called Upon to Bear.
Outsiders can say nothing, though
hey will naturally be on their guard,
says the London Spectator. If the
German dream of a mighty world-pow-
sr is really a widely held national
Idea, and il the German people are
prepared to make sacrifices for the at
.ainment of such an ideal, which
would be as heroic as they would be
insane, they will support proposals
sven more far-reaching than these.
But this dream cannot, of course, be
realized without tremendous colli-
sion with other powers-a collision in
which the German empire would run
The risk Of being smashed and pulyer-
lied. For the essential point IS that
+ermany cannot attain any such ideal
without encroachment; the rest Of the
civilized world has been before her in
ippropriating unoccupied lands. Let
'he truth be clearly stated. Germany
must be content with expansion
through other territorial powers, or
She must, IL possessed by this idea OF
world-power, run the risk OF an
.nihilation. For England the burden
of expenditure IS, of course, heavy, but
It is light as compared with the bur
den which Germany will be called on
10 bear If the emperor's program is to
be carried out. If there is to be a race
Of economic ruin Germany will arrive
at the goal long before we do, and on
her head will be the main disaster.
We write in the conditional mood. for
II remains to be seen whether the
kaisers megalomania is shared by a
majority Of the German people. There
Is much good sense and a vigorous
logical judgment IN Germany. to which
one may confidently appeal II. as we
have said. the appeal is TO be, in this
Ease, on the grounds OF mere Insurance
tor German Industry, We do not uoubt
the calculations Of the people Will be
made, as Is usual with Germans, in a
prudent and economic spirit; and in
any case criticism OF such a verdict
would be impertinent. But II. as the
kaiser's words and attitude seem TO
hint, a naval program is TO cover a
policy OF aggression, we do not doubt
that il will be fought in Germany with
the vigor and determination charac-
teristic Of the people, and in that case
We can only wish success 70 the oppo-
sition.

An anecdote about the Emperor Will
liam is rejoicing the Germans. Years
ago when the Kaiser was Prince VIII
liam and a student at Bonn, he went
out boating with Herr Ehlers. his fell
low student Their boat got swamped
and they had to call in the aid OF a
bargeman to put 1t anoat again. The
prince had nothing less than a "thaler"
in his purse, and asked Ehlers TO give
the man some smaller coin. Ehlers
pulled out a 'thaler," saying: High
ness, let us give the fellow this sum.
The third parsonage OF the empire
should be above pettiness." Prince
William did not like the remark, but
said nothing. Years elapsed. The
prince became emperor and Herr
Ehlers won fame as an African explor-
er A short time ago the kaiser hand
ed TO Herr Ehlers a number OF pres
ents to be given to the chiefs OF tribes
In return for gifts sent by them from
Africa. One OF the imperial tributes
was beautiful gold ring with a cen
ter OF diamonds. "Your majesty" said
Ehlers, this ring Is too precious The
chiefs over there would be pleased with
any sort Of triflle" Pooh. pooh. Eh-

The most persistent creditors and
bad-debt collectors in the world are
said to be those of India. 1t Is not un-
common for them TO literally live up
on the doorstep of a debtor for days at
time. 1t is tho custom for the dun
to sit at the door of his victims tent
and allow no one 20 go out except by
his sanction. During this seige he
neither eats nor allows his debtor TO
eat This starvation is kept up until
either the debt Is paid or the creditor
gives up the siege, in which case tho
debt is considered cancelled.
The laws by which this common
practice is regulated are well defined
Not even the chief governors of the
country are exempt from it. When
the debt is large or the case In some
other way important, It is the custom
for a number of collectors to surround
the tent and sometimes even the bed Of
the debtor to make sure he takes no
