GERMAN NAVY
Demand That the British Su-
premaCy of the Seas be
Contested
HOSTILITY TO ENGLISH
MANIFESTED IN SPEECHES
BY United Press Leased Special w,ra

By United Press Leased Special Wire
KEEL, June 5-The strongest anti
English note yet heard In German
semi-ofiicial circles dominated today's
annual general meeting Of the German
Navy League under the presidency of
Admiral Koester.
All dissimulation was thrown aside
and the delegates openly advocated the
accelerated upbuilding Of the German
navy ito contest the present naval
supremacy Of England" The holiness
Of many speeches was surprising.
In nearly every utterance there was
marked hostility 10 England and the
resolutions that were adopted unani-
mously plainly favor the building of a
German navy that will stand supreme
in the world.
The annual report disclosed the fact
that there are nearly a million mem
bers Of the league. all clamoring for
bigger navy. The league also went
on record in urging Germany to be
supreme in aerial equipment, express
ing its belief that the wars OF the
future will be decided in the air
President Koester's speech was sem
sational in the extreme. "Our naval
policy must be persevered in said he.
Germany must continue her work and
perfect a fleet which will enable us 10
cope with our most powerful marine
rivals There must be no going back
ward because of criticism from out
siders. A feet that will keep the
/ German nation where II belongs among
the powers Of the world is an immedi-
ate necessity"
Count Reventtow waxed sensational
"Englands claim that she must rule
the seas is preposterous." he declared
as the assemblage applauded. Eng
land has no divine right to dominate
the ocean. Germany and the Other
rising naval powers must contest FOL
supremacy. Germany must az leagi
rule the North Sea and no interference,
with her can be brooked."
Baron Engel said that Germany mus
create a naval armament which wouis
be powerful enough TO wrest contro
Of the seas from England. Three fol
lowing speakers repudiated the idei
of any agreement with England whicl
would have for it's object the limita
tion of the imeprial navy.
Two other speakers emphasized tn
necessity of a huge fleet capable 9
protecting Germany's trans-oceanic IN
terests. whether on the Atlantic or o
the Pacific or in the Far East.
But II was left 10 Herr Schmidt {
make the most sensational utteranc
OF the day. After referring to the agi
tation against Germany in man
quarters and TO the fact that the ma
tional spirit was behind the naval in
crease. he said:
German warships are kept too clos
70 home. Our sphere Of action shoul
be broadened What we need is
navy big enough. and powerful enough
so that it can cruise American water
and remind the inhabitants there q
the existence Of Germany as navs
power"

CLICK PAID $3.50
fine AND COSTS
Judge Bradford Said Moral
Question Mas Not InvOIV-
ed in the OffenSe

Ulysses G. Click who was found guilty
Of soliciting campaign contributions on
Federal property, and who was fined 800
and the costs of the prosecution in one
count. and 800 on each Of seven other
counts by Judge Bradford, in the United
States Court yesterday afternoon, shortly
afterward paid the fine and costs. which
amounted altogether, to about $3.50.
The jury returned its verdict at 21O
o'clock, after being out two hours, and
made recommendation OF mercy
when a reporter for THE EVENING
JOURNAL asked District Attorney John
n Nlelds his opinion Of the sentence
he replied: II am perfectly satisfied"
That Messrs. H. H. Ward and David
]. Reinhardt, counsel for Mr.. Click were
pleased that the outcome OF the case
was no more serious was evident. Mr.
Click was happy as those about him
extended their congratulations.
In imposing sentence. Judge Brad
ford said:
THE jury has convicted you upon all
of the counts as TO which a nolle pros
oqui was not entered by the government.
This is very exceptional case in this
court. During my experience on the
bench ] believe there have not been
more than one or two cases tried before
me which did not involve moral terpi-
tude. and the procedure OF this court
has been in all cases involving what
may be called deliberate criminality. in
volving moral turpitude, TO impose a
term Of imprisonment. But in your case,
as 1 have already stated, do not find
in the offence OF which you have been
convicted any moral turpitude. It is a
violation Of the law, it is true, but II is
a violation because what might have
been done with absolute impunity out
side OF these prohibited premises mem
toned in the indictment was done on the
prohibited premises.
''The court therefore, does not think
u should under the circumstances, even
aside from any recommendation OF the
jury. impose any term Of Imprisonment
upon you At the same time the court
regards the statute as one embodyine
very important and salutory principle
OF public policy.
"In view of that fact. and Of the i'm
Importance of vindicating this law, the
court has decided to impose a sentence
which in the judgment of the court un-
der all circumstances. which moderate
will yet be sufficient 10 deter others
from soliciting on prohibited premises.
.eThe sentence Of the court is, that OF
the second count you forfeit and pay
TO the United States a fine Of 800. to-
gether with the costs Of prosecution. and
one each Of the other counts as to which
you have been found guilty a like sum of
Si0o. making a total Of $500, besides thu
costs of prosecution"
