 They manage the vessels themselves, under the eyes of their superiors. and carry on their studies on board. They are taught naval engineering, torpedo sci ence, naval construction, mechanics, for tifications, tactics, as well as the modern branches They are put through a good course of gymnastics and learn how to fence. ride and swim After a time they are taken on the vessels of the war fleet, and upon graduation are well fitted to i'll the positions in which they are placed.

the names of those reaching IS are pub. lished from year to year. If there is no record of their deaths and they do not appear, fines are assessed against them and if they are not paid they are liable to Imprisonment.
 Many baby thus recorded has been taken to the United States with his par ents and became an American citizen, and some such babies on their return to Germany as grown-ups have been com pelled to pay such fines. I heard of case of 'oLe man who had served several years in the army of the United States. He returned here on the death of his mother to look into her, estate, and this fine which had been assessed against him was demanded. He could not pay it. and was sent to jail. It took the best efforts of the American Ambassador to get him out.
 Another more recent case was that of two of our rich business men. They had left Germany as little boys, had grown up as American citizens and had re- turned here, intending to stay a couple of years and educate their children. As long as they remained at a hotel no mo- tice was taken of them, but few months ago they rented flats and began to fur nish them. This brought their names to the police, who have to keep track of such things for taxes. Their records were examined. and they were ordered to leave the country, for police reasons. within eight days. They protested. but far their protest has been of no avail. and they may yet need the intercession of the American Ambassador before they can stay. Frank G.. Carpenter.

They want Englands place upon the ocean, and are willing to spend money for many years to gain 1t. About i've years ago the Government decided to build three battleships year for four teen years, and in addition a large mum Der of cruisers, torpedo boats and minor vessels. This scheme is being carried out, and at the same time the merchant ma rine is being increased at a dynamic rate. Other acts have been passed, and in 1900 a scheme was undertaken which will give Germany. within thirteen years, thirty-four new battleships, eleven large and thirtyfour small cruisersL with many torpedo boats and special service yes sells.

try is a vast military camp. There are | military clubs in every villages, and a constant drilling goes on in every prov ince. According to law every able bodied man must spend seven years in the army. It is not possible to send a substitute. and this is so of rich and poor, of noble and peasant. There are some who get off on account of undersize or delicate physique and some because they are the sole bread winners of the family, but as a rule every German belongs to the army until he Is 45 years of age, and can be called out at almost any time.
 There are over 30O,000 new rocuits each year. and the drilling which goes on ev- anywhere makes it so that 100000 sol diers can be called to the support of the Kaiser at an hours notice. In the re- serve and Landwehr alone there are 300O,- 900 men and more than 20000 officers.
 In other words. there are more officers than We had soldiers and officers in our regular army before our war with the Spaniards. There are about 100000 men in the Ersatz Reserve and the Landsturm. and these can be called out in case of the invasion of Germany.
 A Great Machine.
 The most of this enormous force is such that 1t can be worked as one machine. Everything is prepared to feed 1t and

It divides it's frontier defenses into ten great fort lot aaCh nf which has organizations and troops. It has alto gether sevtenteen fortified places which serve as camps and nineteen other fort resses The fortresses are all connected by underground telegraphs and there are military railroads from the chief military centers to the frontier.
 The Government has 100000 horses in the army, and it could double or treble this number in time of war. I have seen this cavalry at the maneuvres. The horses are wonderful. They are trained so that in parade they will take so many steps to the minute. and march in perfect time with one another

 The Germans are very proud of their soldiers, and the common people, gener- ally. do not object to military service. It does their sons good and they are proud of having them in the army They uo not Hhe eHhSia a'ioh on lle ground that it takes away so many soldiers and the German-American who returns here has to be careful what his military record has been. We have treaty with Ger many which provides that such men shall be treated as American citizens, but this treaty is not always regarded. I am told that scores of German-Americans who have come here have been warned to leave the country within eight days. and that some have been arrested and fined because they had left without performing. military service.

This sum includes the sons of officers, who must spend pro portionately more than the private sol diers.
 At the same time the standard of living among the military is more expensive from year to year. Germany is a much richer nation than it was a few years ago and all classes are living more ex- traVagantly than in the past. The mili- tary class especially is spending much more. Many of the officers are club men and in the best clubs gambling is com mon. Indeed, it is said that some of the old families of Germany have been ruined by the play of their sons who belong to the army.

 Mime. de Thebes. the famous Parisian palmfst-clairvoyant, who confidently de- clared last June that the King would re- cover and be crowned in August is fin London this week.
 In an interview recently in the Lang- ham Hotel she related the circumstances or this prophecy, which created a distinct sensation in Paris and was widely com mented upon in the newspapers
 When the King was ill.," said Mime. de Thebes. Journalists came to me and asked me fine would die. NO I replied, he will not die. I saw his hand, and I know that he is a man of great deter imitation. He will not die, because he has the will to live.' His Majesty was crowned within few days of the date I mentioned in my prediction.
 T have read the hands of M. Felix Faure. M. Carnot, and many others. A month before President Faure died, I said: l The President will die very soon.' The prediction was laughed at, but in less than a month he was dead
 Some months ago a woman, heavily yelled, came to my residence in the Ave ,nue Wagram. She was greatly agitated. When looked at her hand she excfaim- ed: Madame, there is only one thing I wish to know. Is it lil1ely that I will lbe sent to prisonT I repEled, Madame. I am quite sure that you are to go into a hospital'or a madhouse. or some similar place of detention The woman was lAEme Therese Humbert.
 Mme de Thebes has studied palmistry flor years. Alexandre Dumas fills was her lgodfAfher. When she lost her fortune through the collapse of a noted Paris lbanl1ng house she was thrown utterly on lher own resources. Dumas said to her. Use your wonderful nafursal gifts" and 50 Mime. de Thebes made paImistry a profession instead of a pastime
 She has. a wonderful knowledge of hu- man nature, coupled with rare tact and an exhaustive knowledge of palmistry in all its branches.

 I find the Germans much interested in the navy. The people think their sailors superior to any others, and they nave organized a naval society. with a mem- bership of more than sG0,000, devoted to stirring up sentiment in favor of naval Improvements.
 The personnel of the navy improves every year. It is increasing in numbers,

and 1t now includes something like 3O.O0f men and boys There are altogether about 1,500 officers, 1900 boys, and more than 27OOO petty officers and seamen. In other words, the Germans have on their war vessels more men than we had in our army prior to the Spanish-American war.
 The Germans have good naval schools. There is one here at Kiel with several hundred students. The boys are kept but short time on shore and then put on training ships. There are a number of these ships, some here and some on other seas. A common way is to have the sum mers spent in the Baltic and the winters in the Mediterranean or the West Indies
 On these training vessels the boys are taught practical seamanship. They learn

tions who would fight him at any time if they thought they could win, and he believes that the best way to prevent war is to be ready for it. Today the army and navy are trained as though war might be declared tomorrow and all sorts of defenses are steadily improved
 One gets a good idea of what is being done by a look at the naval establish ment at Kiel. The Krupps have a big shipbuilding yard here which works al- most night and day on the new gunboats the Reichstag has ordered. Other naval vessels are being built at Stettin and Danzig, and tens of millions of dollars are being thus spent every year.
 The Kaiser's Enormous Navy.
 Indeed, the Germans are planning to obtain the greatest navy of the world.

(sopyright. 1sos. by Frank G. Carpenter. )
 Are the Germans preparing for war with the United States?
 l think not. They are jealous of our commercial supremacy and in response to the agrarfans have enacted a tarifY which may affect our trade. They would hke to overthrow the Monroe doctrine and develop South America, but they nave no idea of attempting anything that might bring on an American war. Indeed. they realize, for the first time. something of our resources and power. They know they are dependent upon us for food; they know also that we are among their best customers, and they claim to be the friendliest of our friends on the European continent,

Two Substitutes for a Hot Water
 Bottle.

Make a bag of linen or calico measur- ing Is inches by 10 inches. Fill this with nice. clean sand and sew up at the end. Place in the oven until thoroughly hot, then slip into a flannel bag. It is then ready for use and will retain the heat for a much longer time than the ordinary earthenware bottle. The other substitute is a brick heated in the same way and then slipped into a flannel bag.
