Commercial relations of Germany with the
United States seems not unlikely to lead to
a partial ministerial crisis. Addressing an
Agrarian meeting recently Baron Won Man.

Had we increased our navy sooner the
United States would not have dared to Use
such language toward Germany
At the annual congress of the Agrarian
league this week similar sentiments were
heard. One speaker, referring to the speech
OF Herr Won Buelow, secretary of state for
foreign affairs In the reichstag, last Satur-
day. in reply to the Interpolation of Count
Won KanitZ, said:

such sugar bread. If We want to impress
them we must show them our fleets We
want deeds from the government not fine
words. A great power like Germany cannot
allow herself TO be made fool of as we so
far have done with regard to America
After other speeches, characterized by vigor
of exaggeration, the Agrarian league passed
resolution congratulating itself upon the
alleged return of the government to Bis
