of the numbers, ranging from the concert

the instrument, which had an exquisite
tone.

numbers, added much to the enjoyment

A local journalist who was with the

sane was not there in his professional
capacity. "Mr. Rockefeller smiled,
With resigned air, at the American

for the future, they are now frank in
their admission of projects which, II
carried out, will bring Germany's navy
to point of strength and efficiency
which may cause some specula
tion among the other European pow

1t is evident, however, that the op.
ponents of the Navy leagues plan
have the majority of the German peo.
pie on other side. Quite stir and a
good deal of favorable comment has
been occasioned by a warning article
