Germans Hostility 10 England

Kiel, June 5.-The strongest anti
English note yet heard in German
official circles dominated today's aunusl
general meeting of the German Navy
League, under the presidency OF Admiral
Rooster. All Discrimination was thrown
aside and the delegates openly advocated
the accelerated upbnilding of the Ger.
man navy "to contest the present naval
supremacy of Eugland." The boldness OF
many OF the speeches was surprising. 10
nearly every utterance there was marked
hostility TO England, and the resolutions
that we're adopted unanimons y plainly
favor the building of a German navy
that will stand supreme in the world.
The annual report disclosed the fact that
thsre are nearly q million members OF
the league, all clamoring for n bigger
navy. The league also went on record in
urging Germany to be supreme in aerial
equipment, expressing its belief that the
wars OF the future will be decided in the
air.
tiuSC AACniJB VI Auooiai ~ biohhOi VI
the emperor made a speech to the con-
ference this afternoon, in which he ex-
tolled the work of the navy league and
by so doing, is considered to have given
virtual approval Of the utterances made
against England.
London, June 5.-While details Of
the meeting of the German Naval League
at Kiel have not been received here, the
fact that the Germans openly threw
off the cloak of secrecy and admitted the
German Intention of Wrestling from
England control of the seas, has merely
accentuated the bitterness Of the British
anti German feeling. The extreme ma
tioDsl anti-G erman feeling Ia 80 intense
that nothing short Of actual war could
add to it. The effect Of the German Naval
League meeting, however, is certain to
be the immediate construction of the
eight new Dresdnaught tppe of battle
ships, which the British government hsd
hoped to delay because of the condition
of the national finances.

THE RLuEMONT DIVISION.

Reports are still in circulation that the
Bluemont division of the Southern Rail-
way has been sold TO capitalists of Wash
ington who own and operate the Great
Falls snd Old Dominion Railroad.
1t is understood that the pending ne
gotiations consist of a proposition pre-.
scented to the officials of the Southern
Railway Company, first to lease the
Bluemont division for term o! year,,
with the privilege of ultimate purchase,
and, second, the purchase of the line
outright, if certain conditions relative to
traffic and revenue can be shown upon
the compauy's books.
1t is said that in case the Washington
capitalists gain control of the road, II is
their intention TO operate the line for a
time as q steam road, making an attempt
to give the region served by it better
and possibly cheaper facilities.
One of the changes proposed is to
bring passenger trains into Washington,
drawn by an electric motor, over the
tracks of the Falls Church railroad.
The report of the sale OF the division
was first published in the Gazette but
was afterwards denied by President
Finley of the Southern Railway Com

If the people of the country eau be
persuaded that there is no difference
between 25 per cent, and go per cent,
and that the higher rate affords no
greater protection than the lower, then
they will accept the Aldrich tariff bill
aud the cotton schedule as meritOriOus
and as a revision of the present tariff
law in accordance with the campaign
promises of President Taft and all other
republican leaders to reduce the burdens
of taxation imposed upon the necessities
of life. If they can be brought to be-
lieve all this, then they can also be
made to understand that for purposes
of protection and revenue imported
goods should be valued far above their
actual value, in order that the rates OF
duty imposed may appear to be lower
than they really are. Upon no other
basis can the cotton schedule be justified
or defended Notwithstanding the lsbored
