BY BUILDING MORE NAVY

| New York. May IA special to the
Herald from Washington, says: "It is
/ the belief of well-informed department
officials here that Germany will heed the
warning given HEIR by Secretary Root
and Senator Lodge, by more strongly
for the increase of the navy desired by
the German emperor. It is understood
that the administration expects Germany
to try to block, automatically, every plan
which may strengthen the position of the
United States in the case of the Danish
West Indies. But it is not supposed for
a moment that she will go to the extent
of hostilities. 1t is thought to be her
policy to continue the colonization of
Central and South America to get a pre-
ponderant German influence in those
states, so that, in case of war with the
United States these German communities
might have an important bearing upon
the degree Of neutrality the southern re-
public would enforce. Embassy officials
say there are too many Germans in the
fatherlaud, that they must emigrate
somewhere, and that they have selected
Central and South America and Asia
places in which immigrants may live
without restrictions"
Washington, May I.-In view of the
significant references to the enforcement
Of the Monroe doctrine by Secretary
Root Senator Lodge and other prominent
men, the staet department has taken
steps to secure data on the subject. The
burden Of these eetaocmfwypshrdlmfw
burden of these speeches mas been the
startling increase of the Germany colon
les in South and Central America which
have been regarred as menacing the
Monroe doctrine. It has also asserted
that these German colonsts MAINTAIN their
home customs in the new land, deal al
most exclusively with Germany, use only
the German language, have almost auto
nomous government within the limits of
American republics and are, in fact. little
Germanys wherever located. The state
department has addressed an instruction
to every minister and consul in South and
Central America to inform the depart
ment fully on all the points to which
reference has been made. OF course Ger
many is not referred to by name, for
such direction might naturally give UNI
bragg to the German government. The
circular applies to colonists Of all nation
alities, though it is Of course, expected
that the consuIs in compiling their re-

Berlin. May 1.-THE cable reports of
statements made in the United States
senate charmber during the debate on the
naval appropriation bill by Senators Hale
and Spooner to the effect that the Unit
ed States had no expectation of war or
other trouble with Germany have been
received with satisfaction. The semi !
official Berliner Post asserts that these
declarations prove that fair-minded and /
calmly reasoning Americans form the
majority, and concludes its article thus:
1--WE hope in the future that attacks by
certain American politicians who impute
to a friendly country all sorts of agrees /
siye schemes will be as promptly re-
oudiated,"
