It is a very alarmst story about the
growth Of the German navy that comes
from Washington yia New York Jour-
nal. Throughout the article the i'm
preston Is conveyed that Germany has
some hostile intent against the United
States. and It is grayely asserted that
she Is expected to disavow any sinister
purpose. 1t then goes on to tell how
small our own navy Is In comparison.
II Is all very thin and all very anus
Ing. and its sole purpose is TO encour-
age the idea that this country Is mem
aced and needs great navy to pro-
tect 1t from any such danger. It is
part Of a propaganda and is but an
adapting Of the arguments and methods
of the kaiser to influence and scare the
relchstag into carrying out his own
army and naval program.
