KAISER TO MAKE CARS NAVY.
Krupp to Take Ovef 1ronwork at
Mariupol.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, December "a, 1910.
According to the Novoe Vremya, the
ministry of marine is lending its counte-
nance to a scheme initiated by the
Krupps to take over the ironwOrks at
Mariupol and equip them with an armor
plant.
French and British shipyards see in
this move a preliminary to securing i'm
mediate orders. The money which is
presumably to be borrowed in London
and Paris for the need of a great Rus
sian navy would thus find it's way into
German pockets.
The Novoe Vremya asks what will be-
come of the $5,OOO,OOO voted for the
improvement of the IZhora armOr works
if the Germans are encouraged to open
rival establishment in southern Russia,
and inquiries whether it is polite thus
to give the Germans a footing in the
Black Sea shipyards, which may sooner
or later have to compete against Turco-
German constructions.
AS the ministry of marine has repeated
ly declared that no more orders will be
placed in Germany, the Novoe Vremya's
assertions, if accurate, betray q myster-
iOUs change in admiralty views. The UNI
pleasant experience connected with
the attempt to give BlOhm & FOSS of
Hamburg a preference over foreign firms
which presented designs for dreadnoughts
appears to have been forgotten.
