End of 1911.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, November 23.-Rear Admiral
Weber, who was elected in June last to
succeed Gen. Helm managing president
of the German Navy League, has made
long speech, which he christened as
authentic interpretation of the leagues
new program. 1t appears from this dec
laration that the German Navy League
is not satisfied with the enormous build
ing program undertaken by the German
government In his opinion mo unprej-
udiced person could for one moment
doubt that Germany could not afford to
wait until the year 1920 for six new
a-mored cruisers" that is, six fast COM
merce destroyers, expressly equipped with
view of preying on commerce.
Admiral Weber argues. too, that the
personnel of the German navy must be
increased; but he says the Navy League
will not press for all these improvements
this winter. The league realizes that
the work of reforming the imperial
finances must take precedence;' but as
soon as the imperial finances are put
in order the German Navy League is
going to agitate for new cruisers and for
a more numerous personnel.
1t is now understood that the German
government has decided to begin work at
once on the battleships of the 1903 pro-
gram which will therefore be laid down
about the same time as the British ships
of the 1908 program. This means that at
the end of 1911 Germany will have four
teen vessels of the Dreadnought type
to England's twelve. Germany thus gains
over q year on England. Even now the
Schichau and Vulkan firms are proceed
ing with the preparations for two new
battleships. SO that though these German
Dreadnought will not actually be COM
menced till the new year they are really
being put in hand so that When the keeiS
are laid down they will be constructed
more rapidly than English battleships can
be constructed.

MADE GREAT HIT At SYDNEY
AMERICAN SAILORS WON
IMMENSE POPULARITY.

SYDNEY, n. S. W., November 23-The
Australian papers are full of interesting
incidents in connection with the recent
visit of the American fleet The blue
Jackets made themselves popular every
where. Sydney found them quiet and Or
derby, open-handed and warm hea rted
with an infinite capacity for getting on
the best of terms with every one they
met. They carried babies about the
streets and took tired toddIers on their
knees in trans. One lost youngster was
taken charge of by two sailors. who
bought him flags, chocolates and pea-
nuts. and finally handed him over to the
police, his pockets well stocked with
sweets.
When restored to his anxious father
the boys first greeting was, "Say. dad,
I'm an American now"
Theatrical managers sent the fleet free
passes, but the men showed their indie
pendence by tearing them up and insist
ing on paying their way Money was
spent like water.
One incident is recorded which did not
appeal to Australians A Japanese

as the tram pulled up at the next corner

ically. you get off right here. see?
Down you get
The Japanese deemed it well to COM
ply, and left the car Then the Ameri-
cans were asked by some of the other
passengers why they had turned him
out. Their explanation was given with
whitening scorn. He may be your little
brown brother, but he amt ours. White
men don't travel in the same cars with
colored men in our country and We amt
going to do 1t here"
Apparently the festivities were some
what marred by the eagerness of some
of the inhabitants of Sydney to secure
mementos Of the visit. Under the head
ing of THE Fleets spoons a Melbourne
paper publishes the following: Sydney

Apparatus for Investigation.

We have apparatus now by which 1t
is possible to obtain samples not only
OF the surface of the bottom itself. but
also of the underlying strata at a depth
Of two meters or more said Capt.
Amundsen.
Perhaps of even greater Importance,
however, is the examination of the tenn
perature of the water in the different
depths of the sea. We are now able to
measure it with eXactness at any depth.
We know now OF three different water
bulkS in the Polar basin; they represent
at the least three different current sys-
TENS which are not yet sufficiently ex-
amined. We will be able to do ii
through the pendulum current measure
apparatus of Nansen and the propeller
current measure apparatus OF DR.. Elk
born, both invented within the last four
or five years.
Another insufficiently examined prob
lem is the existence of tidal waves and
tidal currents in the Polar basin, d ques-
ton of great importance not only to sci
ence but to navigation as well.
Other Problems.
Other problems to be examined are:
The influence of the winds on the cur
rents of the sea, the quantity of air and
gases in the sea and their Importance to
organic life: the role of the light in the
ries of further questions which will eluci-
date the physiology of the sea and the
circulus Of organic life.
We have no ambition in establishing a
record in the struggle for reporting the
geographical pole point. The object of
my expedition is the scientific examination
of the polar basin, it's bottom and contig-
uration, and the different oceanographlc
problems in connection with it.
THE major object l wish to accomplish
in my scheme is an original one. The
scheme of my expedition is as follows:
Gone Five Years.
Aboard the Fran, with a selected
equipment and fitted out for seven years.
L will leave Norway in the beginning of
1910 We start for San Francisco, going
around Cape Horn. In San rancisco
coal and provisions will be taken on
board.
From there we set out for Point Bar
row, where l hope to arrive in July or
August, and from which the last news
will go home. From Point Barrow
start with the smallest possible crew.
The course of the drift ice is north
northwest We will try to enter the COM
pact ice at the most favorable point to
commence our drift, calculated to last
four or five years. over the Polar basin.
During all this time we will make
oceanographic and other observations
through which | hope to solve some of
the yet unexplained problems of the polar
regions"
