AT THE HOTELS.

Senator Beveridge viii be reelected
said N. ". Harrison, q weIl-known real
estate operator Of Indianapolis. Ind, who
was seen at the shoreham last night,
and the Republican party VIII also be
successful az the polls, Notwithstanding
reports to tho contrary
81 am not a wiseacre or prophet, but,
judging from present indications, neither
the insurgents nor the Democrats viii be
able to defeat the regular Republican
ticket this fall. Senator Beverage is
very popular in Indiana. and his record
In the Senate is most enviable one.
President Taft's administration has
found general approval in Indiana; at
least, / have not been able to find any
adverse comment on it Of q serious ma
ture. It seems to me that If he con-
tinues with the same success that marked
bis first year in the White House, the
Republican party viii be glad to re-
nominate and re-elect him.
Ernst Foerderer, of Hamburg, Ger
many, an importer of American merchant
disc. who is visiting this country on busi-
ness, In discussing Germany's commerce
and politics. said last night at the New
Willard: My country is growing BY leaps
and bounds. and in political influence
as we'll as wealth. Germany's trade and
commerce has made greater progress and
| has experienced a bigger growth than
/
States not excepted. within the last
twenty years It must be taken into con-
sideration that the German empire is the
youngest Of the great powers. it having
been proclaimed In 1870. and is therefore
only forty years old. Before 1870 there
were only small German prineipalities,
each OF which managed fits own affairs.
One was pulling this way and the other
that. They were not united, and. there
fore, they were weak. The world paid
no attention TO them. Whenever the dis
cussion was about Bavaria. Prussia, Sax
ony, or any other Of the German king
doms. the sheer of contempt was per-
ceptihle everywhere.
That is all changed now. Bismarck
brought about the change. First he made
war against Denmark and took schles-
wig-Holstein from them; then he fought
Austria to a stsndstill. after which he
vanquished France. and then drew to-
gether at Versailles all the German king
doms and principalities. welded them into
a mighty German empire. and defed the
whole world Since then Germany has
grown powerful. Her army IS invineible
and her navy is strong and is not afraid
TO take the measure Of any vessels afioat,
no matter 10 what nationality they may
belong. Germany's commerce has in
creased wonderfully. and her merchant
steamers in some parts OF the world have
swept the English flag from the seas.
Germany's political power In Europe is
predominant, and the German Emperor
is an astute statesman and diplomat him
self. Germany is not going TO stop where
she is. Her population is growing and
there is not enough room within her
boundaries TO give them homes. They
are forced to seek douiciles elsewhere.
The German Emperor has decided that
those Germans who wish 10 emigrate
shall not any more IN the future lose
their German citizenship. It is the policy
Of Germany to create new German terri
tories somewhere. and the future viii
show that am right when say that
Germany has designs on Mesopotaraia.
| IN Asia Minor. which rich province.
sooner or later, viii be brought under
the German flag, to be settled by German
| colonists.
The German people are Of one accord
with their Emperor in his policies, what
ever they may be. They know that he is
their Emperor and desires only Ger
many's welfare We do rot care what
other countries may say about OF against
US or our Kaiser. We are determined 70
! pursue our course without deviating one
iots from its aims. Germany is friendly
toward all nations. but we do not beg
for friendship"
