WAR SPIRIT
GROWS APACE
IN GERMANY
Pan-German League Op-
posed to Great Britain
and America.

WEISBADEN, Germany, Sept. T.
War spirit is growing in Germany.
This is the significant deduction from
expressions at the annual conference of
the Pan-GeTman League. which began
here today. The league can be safely
said to represent the great mass Of
Germans, and both in the speeches and
reports of committees a bellicose spirit
is manifested.
This war spirit is directed principally
agafngt Great Britain, but violent an
tagonism TO the United States is also
shown. It grows out Of the feeling
among Germans that America is trying
to undermine German industries in
South America
A vigorous foreign policy for Ger
many, especially against the United
States, is urged.
The Kaiser comes in for severe crit
icism in the executive committees re-
mort He is described as a weakling
who fails to back up his words with
THE report only declares that Germany
has no confidence in the Kaiser's con-

Coming Towers Not Used.

There is no efficient means OF com
municating with the commanding on
Ger. The coming towers were not used
on any Of the ships. since they are
poorly designed and inadequately
equipped. No captains have ever con-
trolled their ships from the coming
towers, and so are rot prepared. These
various defects are all emphasized by
this battle practice, and officers are set
10 thinking Of what the feet really
should have for battle conditions.
Our surerstructures, from mast TO
mast, are a tumble of great, tall smoke
stacks and vSntilators, cranes. useless
bridges, ana masts which serve for
nothing but signal hoists- This shows
up most strikingly when the guns are
trained on the opposing squadron.
Another circumstance which deserves
serious attention is the fact that the
turret sights OF the Louisiana were so
seriously injured by vibrations of the
turret machinery, during the maneuvers,
that she did not sail with the feet Tor
the target practice in northern waters.
Fourteen days will be required to make
the necessary repairs at the Norfolk

TRIBUTE TO THE
REAR ADMIRAL
British Foreign Secretary An
SWerS Questions Regarding
the SWettenham Affair.

London. March 1.-THE incident in
volving Governor Swettenham of ia
maica and Rear Admiral Davis, L. S.
N. came up in the house of commons
today in a hypothetical question by
Jesse Collins. liberal unIOnist, who was
i'm Kingston at the time of the disas-
ter. Mr.. Collins asked if it was in
accordance with international law for
an admiral of a foreign country to
land an armed force in British colonies
without the permission of the governor.
Foreign Secretary Gray said:
mo, and l may add that no such
rights were claimed in the incident re-
ferred to. What I am convinced of is
that while in the presence of such a
catastrophe there naturally was a GER
tain amount of misunderstanding. the
American admiral was inspired by
single-minded motives and a desire TO
relieve suffering. ANY other construc-
ton placed on his action is most I'M
worthy and untrue"
Mr.. Collins asked if the fact did not
remain in opposition of the govern
ment's policy when armed troops were
landed when there was no cause, but
the foreign secretary replied: "Ac-
cording to my information the question
conveys a statement which is not
borne out by the facts"
The foreign secretary's tribute TO
Rear Admiral Davis was heartily
cheered by the members of the house.

MUsIMOvE upon
PAIN OF DEATH
Sheepmen Ordered to Take
Their FIoCkS and Get Out OF
Northern Wyoming.

Sheridan. Wyo.. March 1.-THE sit
uation between the cattlemen and
sheepmen has reached crucial point
and notices have been posted at all
sheep camps in northern Wyoming,
warning the herders to take their
fiocks and get out of the country, on
pain of death to both herders and
sheep. These notices were posted at
camps and crossroads. The move
mept is 50 widespread that the notices
appeared the same night at points 200
miles from each other. They cover the
entire grazing country of northern
wyoming.
The sheepmen say the notices came
from the cattlemen. who want to drive
the fiocks out of the country that the
cattle may have the grass.
Sheepmen are armed and will resist
any attempt to make them leave the
country. A meeting of flockmasters has
been called to take measures to pro-
tect the fiocks.
