rious coins were found in their pos
session. The accused, who are Span
iards from Barcelona, occupied a lodg-

Pan=Germanic Movement
Here lies, in reality, the one menace
of any account There is a pan-Ger-
manic movement, active, knowing its
own mind, and therefore influential be-
yond it's numbers. There is an intel
lectual movement, fatalist and ma
terialist in it's character. There is a
professional military desire to add the
fame of England to that of France,
Austria and Denmark to German
spoils. These movements work togeth-
er on the national mind and policy.
Against them is a vast and massive,
but unorganized, public opinion, OPP
posed TO war of any kind, a desire on
the part of the industrial classes to be
allowed to carry on their trade in peace.
There is also a political movement,
partly financial, against ornaments;
partly fiscal, against protection; partly
democratic, against the Prussian as
cendancy and in favor of a responsible
government. German political dogmat-
ism, by keeping the margin of parties
clearly apart from each other, and
German protection by entrenchihg
powerful economic interests and OPP
pressiVe political privileges in the same
camp have put obstacles in the way OF
these liberal and liberalizing move
ments. But one cannot discuss politics
in Berlin for half an hour with anyone
who knows what is going on without
being driven to the conclusion that the
"cosmic law of liberalism is tnsistently
working itself out in German Bill, the
recent Liberal meeting in Berlin, are
but surface manifestations of the
powerful changes that are going on
below.
ITO talk of war with Germany being
inevitable is absurd. There are many
other products of the cosmic law be-
sides navy leagues. There are dangers
and antidotes to the dangers. But on
one thing both the people and their ad-
ministrators, the sheep and the shep-
herds, whom I met are agreed. To
familiarize Germany and England with
the idea that they are the two rivals
which must fight the next duel is
criminal. 1t will lead to the duel being
fought"
Airship Garage
Interesting details are furnished re-
garding the great military airship
garage
occupied as a permanent station by the
Zeppelin 1. The lower portion of the
side walls of the garage, about seven
teen feet in height, is OF stone. The
rest consists of corrugated sheet iron
plates each eight feet high. The side
iron walls are in three parts. The first
is perpendicular, the second slopes in
ward and the third is perpendicular like
the first.
In the stone walls and in the middle
section of the sheet iron walls are
thirty large windows. There are also
broad sheets of plate glass on both
sides in the upper section Of the iron
walls. The garage is lighted by elec-
tricity To the right and left Of the
entrance are two towers, from whlcn
the machinery for opening the great
doors of the garage on rails is operated.
The doors open and shut by electricity.
Beneath the garage are subterranean
vaults for the storage Of $1,000 gas
cylinders, from which the airship will
be reinhated.
