Berlin, Feb. 12.-The Grand Old
Man" Of the German Fleet, who in his
capacity of President of the Navy Lea
que, acts as the moderating Of the
government on that organization and
restraints it from impolite candor, If
not from excess of zeal, explained in
a speech at kiel what may be regard
ed as the official attitude of this coun-
try towards the question Of disarma-
ment. He said:
II have recently occupied myself a
great deal with this theme, and read
with interest all the articles upon it,
and | can say only that | have not
found single article in which there
was so much as a single tangible
point in the way of a practical pro-
pOsal. 1t is said that we must disarm
Now in the first place. the aSSump-
ton would. in my opinion be that only
the one who is absolutely the stronger
can disarm. But he doesn't do it. The
Vanquished can disarm. 1t is about the
hardest condition that the victor can
impose when he says to the varquish-
ed, 'Disarm.'' and the German nation
knows that better than anyone else,
when it looks back to the beginning
OF the nineteenth century and observes
how much bitterness and how much
hatred this compulsory calls forth.
The Third Idea.
''Then there is the third idea, that
of international disarmament. That
sounds very nice, bnt what does it
mean? International disarmament can
only take place among all nations,
for we are not building a fleet against
any one opponent, but against anyone
who may attack us. Consequently, in
ternational agreement between all ma
tons would be necessary. Now do you
believe that today the Japanese and
Russians. Turks and Greeks would be
able to agree as to the determination
of the strength of their fleets? DO you
believe that that would ever be pos
aibe? We should have to have per-
manent conference which would de-
cree: One of you has from today the
right to procure so many ships. Anoth-
er one can now build one more tor
pedO boat, because his commercial in
terests have extended and his exports
have increased by sO-and so-much."
At any rate, for me, international dis
armament is an absolutely nebelous
idea, for which [ cannot obtain eluci-
dalton. We have no scale by which
disarmament could be regulated. In
ternatiOnal disarmament could only
mean the Gripping of free develop
ment. A fourth method of disarma-
ment might be found by way of alli-
ance. But when one wants an ally he
must be strong, and bring something
with him, either an army or navy.
And alliances are not of eternal dura-
ton. They are here today and gone
tomorrow, and the political horizon
is continually changing.

Craftsmanship and a committee room
A craftsmanship is always coveted by
members as it gives them additional
prominence in their districts; hence
there has always been more or less Of
scramble for the little craftsmanship.
These committees on expenditures in
the executive departments. as a rule
never met today any business and the
members seldom if ever found their
way to the committee room. But this
congress has broken the precedent, and
the presidents program of economy
has caused it. These small committees
composed Of seven members bid fair
to hold large space in the public
I limelight, this season and to furnish
material for campaign speakers next
fall
There are nine OF such committees
one for each executive department.
and under the rules of the house the
chairmen of the committees have full
power to look into the accounts of
each department. just now the com
mittcc on expenditures i'll the interior
department is busilv engaged eXamin-
ing certain expenditures i'll the sener-
al land office, with the view of recon-
mcnding legislation that will give con
Eress better control of that depart
mcnt.
The committee on expenditures in
the state department will soon be
busy overhauling the accounts of that
department. The other departments
are to be investigated along the same
lines. with the view of carrying into
effect Taft's policy of economy. 1t is
we'll known that unless the heads of
the departments are kept in check
they will use up not only every dollar
appropriated by congress, but before
the close of the fiscal year will appeal
to the national law makers TO make
up deficiency. 1t was the work of
one of these small committees some
years ago that resulted in a complete
change of auditing the accounts of the
government With the prominence
that the work OF turning the light on
in the departments will attach to
these little insignificant committees
it goes without saying that hereafter
the craftsmanship will not be regarded
as the tail end of the patronage loaf

Of snow an Eskimo woman is buoyed
by hope OF welcoming son. What of
her last incoming to those narrow con-
fines: She knows that the medicine
man has decided that her sickness is
mortal when she is laid upon her bed

burning lamp beside her. upon food
and drink set close at her hand. She
sees her loved ones pass out of the
doorway that needs no tunnel entrance
to keep chill airs away, for presently
the door is sealed with snow. The
chill Of death pierces through her en-
veloping furs. Her tomb insures that
no long tarrying will be hers. The
soul. communicating with her, may re-
fresh itself with food; but, starving
and freezing, her feeble body will wit

know that its hour has come to perish

"Rigoletto,' considered one of the great

"RigoIetto" is the first opera the COM
pany has sung here that might be
classed among the better known. and as
every familiar air was sung, the audience
manifested its appreciation by vigorous
applause until the climax was reached
with the rendition of the famous La dom
ma mobile, by the tenor. NJ. Zocchi,
when the house applauded with such in
sistance that the singer was forced 10
give an encore of the entire number.
Airs Well known.
The music is too we'll known to need
any detailed account or discussion. The
airs are nearly all famliar-the opera
being one that has long been on the rep
ertoire Of nearly all opera troupes-but
seldom has 1t been better given here than
at the performance yesterday afternoon
The principals were in fine voice, the
chorus well trained, and the orchestral
rendition of the score almost perfect-the
result being a most pleasing afternoon
Of melody.
More than word of praise is due to
all the principals for the acting that they
did in addition TO the excellent vocal
work. This was especially noticeable in
the case Of Mile. RollaHd. who repeated
her hit OF the evening -sfore when she
sang the title role in "Lakme" In ad-
dition to a beautiful and clear soprano
voice. the prima donna is possessed of
