80 1-3 Per Cent to Fleet by 1913.

Berlin. Dec. 1s.-,Foreign naval attaches
in this city have learned that the German
government will attempt the passage
within next year of a naval program by
which the kaisers fleet will be increased
81 Is per cent. by 1913. This addi;io Will
consist of ten battleships, six armored and
sixteen protected cruisers. making in ali A
total Of forty eight battleships; twenty
armored and thirty-tour protected
cruisers. The building program of 1900
which German authorities repea tedly de-
clared represented the maximum OF the
fatherlands requirements for defensive
purposes has already been completed
with the exception of one battleship and
one armored cruiser; although completion
was not contemplated until 1907
Organs of the German navy have little
doubt that American naval expansion is
one of the incentives to Germany's plans
1t is stated that the revenue for the in
imposition of a drastic imperial tax upon
fortunes of more than 100000 marks ($23.
500. In this way it will be possible to
raise annually 25O.00O.0OO marks ESQ, 800.
OOO: The government believes the radicals
and socialists will support the navy in
crease when they realize that the money
will come exclusively from the pockets OF
the rich.
