ADMIRAL TAYLOR CALLED JlNao.
Berlin Press Resents Idea That Ger
many Will Threaten America.


Berlin, Aug. 5.-The utterances at
United States navy as to a probable
conflict between Germany and the
United States in 1907 was printed con-
cpicuousiy here. The Tageblatt says
it requires all the wrongheadedness of
lingo combined with complete ignor-
ance of European affairs to imagine
that Germany intends to annex the
Netherlands. Any German admiral so
indiscreet, the Tageblatt continues,
would be relieved of his duties imlnedi-
ately.
New York, Aug. 5.-In a recent dis
patch from Washington Rear Admiral
Taylor chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, was credited with warning the
leaders of the United States navy and
army that preparations must begin at
once and be vigorously prosecuted from
this time forth for a grave crisis in
German-American relations in the
spring of 1907.
The time of this crisis is fixed coin
cident with the most efficient sea power
Germany now contemplates-the time
when the Panama canal will be occu-
pying much attention in this country,
when the Cuban republic may have
about reached the end of it's tether,
when Jamaica and other West Indian
islands will be PROSTATE in bankruptcy,
when the therlands-according to
Admiral Taylor's predictions-will have
been absorbed by Germany, leaving
Curacao and the other Dutch islands of
the Caribbean sea as bones OF conten
ton to force supreme test of the Mon
roe doctrine.
