said J. G. Brown. Of New York. al the
New Willard last night Mr. Brown IS a
general contractor and IS here on private
business.
Considered purely from a political
point OF view continued 1Ir. Brown.
where would the advantage come in for

/ Germany Is building sach an enormous
navy. Her coast line IS practically n
vulnerable. while England has a long

our colonial interests are scattered IN
every part OF the world We should not

70 protect her commerce. At any rate.
it's a puzzle 20 me what Germany intends
