1.-THE GERMAN PERIL 7
A PANIC IS CAUSED THROUGHOUT
 UNITED KINGDOM.
"Biack wee<- During Boer War Hard- 1y Furnishes n Parallel to Pres ent Scare-Suprcmacy of
 Navy at Stake.

London, March 20-The dramatic confession of the Cabinet ministers in the recent debate on the navy in the House of Commons. that Germany caught the British admiralty mapping and has stolen a march on this coun- try by so expediting the construction of Dreadnaughts that Great Britain will have little if any margin in the number of new capital ships in 1911-12, has been followed by something like panic throughout the United King dom.
 Even the so-called "black week" dur ing the Boer war. when all the British columns found themselves checkma ted by the Transvaal farmers, hardly fur nished a parallel to the present scare and there Is no doubt that were Pre- mier Asquith at this time to give the nation chance to voice it's opinion at the polls of the situation whereby the supremacy of the British Navy is threatened, there would be little left of the present radical party commons.
 The direct vote of censure which A. J. Bafour, leader of the opposition, will move against the Government on Monday, will bring the issue as to whether English or French Dread naughts should be included in this years naval program, although there Is some chance that the national out cry will cause Premier Asquith to yield and give definite assurance that the four phantom Dreadnaughts will be laid down this year, in addition to the four provided for in the estimate. This is all that the adherents of big navy want. and they have started a campaign the length and breadth of the country In support of 1t.
 The Navy League. which represents no particular party, is in the forefront of this movement! At an emergency" meeting today at which Lord Elcho presided, the League decided to enter immediately upon "a great campaign to arouse the people to the urgency and the seriousness of the problem con- fronting the nation"
 There Is no necessity for any agita- tion in this direction In the big cen ters, but the League is arranging meetings at every market place in the more remote country towns and villages. This movement has the sup port of the most influential people of the country and plenty of funds are promised The League insists that the minimum of the program for the con struction of Dreadnaughts in 1909-10 must be eight, claiming that nothing less will suffice to maintain Great Brit aims naval supremacy. The newspa- pers ever since Tuesdays debate have been filled with lurid pictures of the German peril" Every retired admiral of the kingdom has been utilizing the almost forgotten breezy language of the quarterdeck in condemning "the blundering lords of the admiralty"
 A gathering of the business men Of London is being arranged by the Lord Mayor to be held in the mansion house and the Chambers of Commerce in the provinces are not a whit behind in their vigorous demands that the little navy policy shall be buried beyond the hope of resurrection. and that imme- diate steps shall be taken to deal with "the national crisis"

 Many important cases are on hand in the Department of Justice and be- cause of this congestion. MT. Wicker sham will not make the libel cases special. The fact that they are not being pushed for trial probably gave rise to the report that they would be indefinitely postponed.
