steadily growing and the bulk of the
press is apparently being convinced. A
number of popular movements in sup
port of the plan are being arranged,
including one for lectures in all the i'm
portant cities under the auspices of a
score of the most prominent persons.
Among the lecturers who have offered
their services are Admiral Werner and
Professors Wagner and Schneider. The
papers are filed with communications
from all sorts and conditions of peo-
pie advocating the increase. In one of
these. in the Kreuz Zeitung, Count Won
Reichenbach says: The kaiser is the
best naval expert. 1t is only necessary
to vote as ne babe"
AS a matter of fact the movement
may be said to have won. even before
the reichstag has anything TO do with
it. This has been shown by the fact
that all the navy yards are working to
the utmost, and that new ship yards
are being started az Bakomden.
Emperor Will Win.
The Vulcan works have established a
branch at Gesstemund. 1t is said in
naval circles that the consent of the
reichstag has not been waited for, as
it is assumed the emperor's plan will
pass. The Vorwaerts derisively says:
THE Krupps, while protesting great
patriotism, have not scrupled to make
enormous contracts for the construc-
ton of new navy yards in Russia, be-
ing assured of an annual profit of 81
100000 roubles by the Russian govern
ment. The same firm also sold the
United States, through the Carnegies,
the latest and best steel plates, which
have been found better than the Har-
veyized.
This the vorwaerts remarks
shows a wonderful combination of
business and patriotism"
The Officieuse Post reproduces from
American papers statements. that the
strengthening of the United States ma
val resources is intended for the pur-
pose of supporting Great Britain in the
far east. The Post asserts that the,
statements are Trustworthy and says
that the recent denials of administra-.
ton speakers in the west are not wor-
thy of belief.
Must Have More Colonies.
The papers here assert that the re-
suits of the Philadelphia congress are
nil. The correspondence of the Co.
logne Gazette to this effect is widely
produced. The papers also claim that
Germany must have more colonies. and
say it is nonsense to maintain that the
earth is divided up, as a new division,
is impending in colonial possessions.
The Netherlands, colonies are pointed to
as among those that cannot much. long
er be kept from a new division. saying
that the candidates for these rich colo.
MES are Great Britain and Germany,
adding that the latter has the better
chance
The Deutsche Zeitung thinks the in
heritance is ripe, as The Netherlands is
unable to fructify its colonies.

The agrarian newspapers comment on
the fact that during the past nine
months the" importation of American
horses has increased by 27,4O9 head.
Against American Meat.
The officers of the National Butchers
Guild will on Friday next consider the
advisability of calling a congress of
European producers to devise steps
against the increase OF competition of
American meat. The guild has dis
tributed during the last few months
millions of posters and pamphlets on
this subject. The main fight will be
made in the reichstag on the meat in
spection bill.
The agrarian newspapers are reSum-
