MUNICH. July 2.-The libel suit of Carl
Peters, late Governor Of German East
Africa, who sued the Munich Post for re-
peating statements made in the Reichstag
relative to ALLEGED murder OF and cruelties
to the natives. came to an end to-day with
judgment against the Post.
Peters was stormily congratulated by
his friends on the conclusion Of the trial.
Herr Gruber. the editor Of the Post, was
sentenced TO pay a fine OF SIPS with the al
tentative Of fifty days imprisonment and to
pay the whole cost Of the proceedings.
In rendering judgment the Court said
that Peters while in Africa had acted in
accordance with what he believed 20 be
his rights as Imperial Commissions and
carnal motives played no part In his
sentences and executions. 1t had been
clear. the Court further said. hat perjury
had been committed. notably by either
DIR. Arendt or Frau Keyser. during the
hearing. Hence further proceedings in q
criminal court were certain.
Probably more thar one duel will result
from thet testimony given in the case.

A hygienist is quoted as saving that

respect. Some Of them will eat a pound
or more Of Strawberries at a time and
then become 80 morose that people are
glad to avoid them.
The fact is they are physically i'll without

strawberry disease. the symptoms Of which
are slight dizziness. a desire to be alone
and intolerance Of being questioned.
The strawberries which have the worst
effect are the large. Nasty ones. The
small kinds. with seeds on the surface.
are usually harmless. The trouble is
ascribed to the strawberry acids, which
cream does not mollify. Indeed, the fruit
ia more wholesome without cream or sugar,
and nobody should eat more than a dozen

NO PACIFIC BArrLEsHIP FLEET.
A. Least Not Until We Have Enough ArmOr-
ciads 70 Make Another Fleet

WARRINGTON. July 7.-Denials from Oys-
ter Bay on behalf Of the President and from
the Navy Department through Acting
Secretary Newberry seem to set at rest
the sensational stories that the Govern
ment has determined to transfer It's battle
ship feet from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
As was pointed out in a Washington
despatch printed in THE SUN to-day, these
reports arose through a belated revival Of
the idea which the naval authorities have
had In mind for many years that the proper
distribution of the feet should oontem-
plate a battleship squadron in the Atlantic
and another battleship squadron in the
Pacific. That theory was accepted long
before there was even a murmur Of trouble
between the United States and Japan.
As the battleehip fleet has grown the idea
has gained strength, but there are not
nearly enough armorclads in the laval
service to carry out IN contemplated plan.
1t Is nov apparent. in view Of what was
said at Oyster Bay and the Navy Depart
ment to-day. hat the Government has no
intention OF transferring It's Atlantic feet
to the waters Of the Pacific. This means
that while a Pacific feet will ultimately
OoOoAfo N Octbdiuby, tlc ptdh tOT I'm lOTIlA-
ton will be carried out along the conserva-
tive ines originally laid down. Many years
most elapse before there are enough battle
ships to form the proposed Pacific division.
Back In 1905. when Rear Admiral George
A.. Converse was chief Of the Bureau Of
Navigation. he advocated in his annual
report the amalgamation Of several Ameri-
can squadrons into two fleets, one in the
Atlantic and the other in the Pacific. This
was in line with the then settled policy
of the Navy Department. originated by
Admiral Converse's predecessor. the late
Rear Admiral Henry G Taylor. to keep
the vessels Of the navy In large formation
instead Of having them work as individual
having a battleship division in the Pacific
was the logical outcome of the plans then
formed and not Of any uneasiness over the
relations between Japan and this Govern
ment.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y. July 9~-Secretary
Loeb said to-day that the report thai sixteen
battleships from the Atlantic feet would
be sent TO the Pacific was too obviously
untrue to merit a personal
from the President Secretary Loeb. how
ever. did call the Presidents attention to
the matter and after his return from Saga
more Hill this afternoon made this an
nouncement;
Il have nc idea where or how the story
originated You may say that the Presi-
dent has not even considered the advisa-
bility Of sending any ships to the Pacific.
