NEW YORK, August 6.-In the course
OF conversation yesterday afternoon be-
tween Col. Roosevelt and several visitors
the name of John Mitchell. former presi,
dent OF the United Mine Workers of
America, was mentioned as possible
candidate for the republican nomination

would not express any ooinion as to it's
wisdom. He said he regarded Mr.. Mitchell
highly; that he was one of the men on
whom he depended for assistance when
he was in the White House. and that he
thought very highly of Mr.. Mitchells

he is republican, he never has bean

how much it would suffer from blockade
Of Antwerp and Rotterdam. The power to
control. the mouth of the Rhine is the
power to throttle German industry. As
long as Belgium and Holland control
these great ports Germany need
not fear hostile action from those
two small countries. In tact, they
would be forced to submit TO German die
tation in everything if it were not that
they have the moral support OF England
and the potential backing OF the British
navy. When the German navy becomes
sufficiently strong to make the issue of a
contest with the British navy doubtful,
then it no longer Will be possible for Bel
giim and Holland always TO command eff
fective British support. II Is within the
realm OF possibility that the new Ger
man navy will be able TO secure for Ger
many the economic if not the political,
control of the much coveted low coun-
tries. From the German point of view,
nothing could be more desirable.
Germany is not democratic country.
and il is governed altogether on the
theory that every mans VII should be
merged into the " II OF the late. Yet the
Germans are Human beings and insist
upon being treated as such. Like other
peoples, they decliEe to pay taxes except
for the things they believe they need. The
navy bill of 1909. which revoiut'onized the
German navy policy, was conceived in the
mind OF William II. but il was enacted
by the reichstag the result of a, popular
demand from the people Of all classes.

BERLIN, july Is-The present naval
fpolicy of the German empire was crys-
tallzed in the navy bill of 1900, which
according to its prea mhle, proposed to
create feet of such strength that "a
war with the mightiest naval power would
involve risks threatening the supremacy
of that power" This language was a d.
rect notice to ENGLAND that Germany was
not content to permit the British empire
10 retain absolutely undisputed the SUI
prtis!a.y of the seas. 1t did not mean,
perhaps, that Germany intended to build
greater navy than the British. but il
did say that the German navy should be
large enough to cause England TO think
twice before provoking naval war with
Germany.
Al the time there was some excitement
in England. but the British people at that
time had their fill OF war in South Africa.
and the general public did not take espe-
cial notice of the changed attitude of the
Berlin government toward naval matters.
The navy bill of 1:IJ Was supplemented
by other aCtS from time to time, bus

that the original bill W: s sufficiently slas-
tic to permit the German admiralty to do

that the elasticity OF the navy law had

Germany contends that it needs strong

to $3.50, to be used in the propaganda of

SO far as to build and equip warslip to

league was founded In 1898 a few days
which failed to indorse the bread princi-
pies Of the kaiser's naval policy.
The league was orgs niZed for the pur-
pose of influencing public sentiment by
popular agitationi and it proved to be
! most successful The chief organizer of
the leagne was the late Alfred krupp OF
the Krupp gun works, and he had the
active assistance Of Prince Henry of
Prussia. the sailor brother OF the en-
peror. 1t was planned carefully that the
be at the head of the organization, ma
tional. provincial and local, but that all
classes would be invited to join.
The organizers knew how we'll lower
the aristocracy, by whatever means. The
people focked to join the league. and
within two years it had a membership Of
quarter of million, and was so
powerful in its influence that the sweep
ing navy bill Of 1860 was passed without
any opposition other than the perfunctory
protest of the social democrats
The emperor granted the league the use
of special flag and badge, and, under
the patronage of the imperial family as
we'll as Of the royalty of the minor Ger
man states. the league continued to grow
RAPIDLY. especially in the cities. But the
villagers and peasants were not neglected.
Lecturers. accompanied by moving-pic-
ture apparatus and operators. toured the
country and gave the people. not l per
cent Of whom had ever seen the ocean or
a ship, a visual demonstration of what
the Navy League intended 70 do for Ger
many. The country people followed the
example Of their city fellows and enrolled
in the league.
1t was largely by reason of the infiu-
ence OF the Navy League that tine Ger

German People e eS to s an1 tne nae
essary taxes. The revolt against high
taxation which has been growing steadily
for the past two or three years has been
retarded greatly by the influence of this
league. The fact that such an organiza-
steadily in numbers during a period Of
twelve years and that every member has
had to give. his money as we'll as his al
legiance is proof of the fact that a great
number of the German people are imbued
with the same imperial instincts which
control their emperor, in spite Of the fact
that there is now revolt against the taxes
and often criticism of the strong navy
policy.

that history shall speak of a German

power this should not be based upon

mutual striving of nations after common

1t is needless to say that the people of
other nations do not accept the kaise-s
