EMPEROR WILLIAM
 TALKS OF SHIPS
SAYS THE TYPE OF VESSELS NOW BEING LAUNCHED IN GERMANY'S YARDS REPRESENT THE BEST FOR THE COUNTRY.

Berlin, November 1S.-Emperor William participated in the debate of the Society of Naval Engineers today on the subject of placing heavy guns on battleships and it's effect upon their design and construc- ton.
 His Majesty referred to the influence of military requirements upon the devel- opment of ship construction and artillery and pointed out how the aim of Germany had always been to allow the weight of influence as possible on the ship build CT and the constructor. The Emperor Illustrating his contention that tactical requirements influenced the construction of ships of war, said the time of the galleys had seen great development in the matter of bow fire and that galleys were superior in this respect to later bat tleships. He instanced the battle of Lepanto as the greatest wherein galleys had been engaged and said Don Juan of Austria had brought his galleys into &C., tion in han moon formation and had de- stroyed the enemy's fleet by the su- periority of their bow fire.
 Germany was also the first nation able to place a captain still on the active list at the head of the construction bu- reau. He believed that the type of ves- sels now being launched in Germany's

MUST coNcILIATE FRANCE.
Terms on Which Anelo-Russian Ali
 ance Is Possible.

New York, November B.-Discussing the possibilities of an Anglo-Russan un- derstanding. the Paris Journal De Bats quoted by the Paris correspondent of the London Times and New York Times says two conditions are indispensable:
 First. Great Britain must cease to thwart Russian policy; secondly she must cease to thwart French policy, where the two powers are destined to live side by side.
 After commenting on an editorial ar ticle in the London Times of last Satur day regarding the importance of the Per sian Gulf to British interests the Journal De Bats insists again on the necessity of the British showing the same conciliatory spirit toward France as toward Russia. The paper concludes with an expression of its belief that by means of conditions equally acceptable to both Russia and France. an understanding between Great Britain and the dual alliance would be possible.
