THE next time John Bull has an
attack of heart failure over the rap
id growth. Of the German navy, he
ought to look across the North Sea
and get vision of the German
public debt. That burden which
the Geeman taxpayers must carry
with what cheerfulness they can
assume is now rising rapidly to the
three billion dollar mark. The Dor.
rowing Of two hundred millions OF
this is just now being arranged by
the imperial government and the
government of Prussia. So, while
the German taxpayer may see new
"Dreadnoughts" rise from the
stocks at the shipbuilding yards,
he will discover also that the bills
are presented to him for payment,
and even the patriotic German tax
payer may be brought to the point
where the drain on his pocketbook
will dry up the springs Of his patri.

ABDUL. HAMID, the deposed Sui

history as modern Genghis Khan.
1t is now fairly certain that he is,
sued the order which resulted in
the massacres at Adana and other
places in Asia Minor. But that
order was only the last of a long
series. No man since Napoleon
has the blood of so many slain on
his hands, and Napoleon at least
waged war like a soldier. The
Turk. more bloody-minded, has
luxuriated in butchery. His vic

he is deposed at last is a mark of
