German Capital, with Suburbs, Claims Three and Half Millions of Population.

Washington. Feb. 1o.-Figures com piled for the 1910 imperial German census show there are forty-seven cit ies in the empire having popula- tion in excess of 100000, and form an interesting comparison with the sta tistics of the thirteenth census of the United States, which shows fifty cities with this population.
 Berlin, Gerrnany's largest city, without its suburbs. has 2,064,153, or half a million more people than Phil adelphia. It is exceeded in popula- ton by Chicago by 121.0oo. Com pared with New York, Berlin has not half so many people.
 With it's suburbs, which are intend ed to be included in Greater Berlin. it has about 5,500,000, which would make 1t more than million less than New York. The population of other leading German. cities follows:
 Hamburg 936,000; Munich 593,053; Leipzig 585,743; Dresden 546.sS2: Cologne 511,042: Breslau 510,929; Frankfort 414, 406:' Dusseldorf 356.733; Nurenlbnrg 332.539; Charlottenburg, a suburb of Berlin. 3O4,280.

TREATY NEVER INTENDED
 COMPLICATION OF CANAL
Two Former Cabinet Officers Declare for Efficient Policing vs. Fortifica- ton.

Boston, Feb. 10.-Former United States Secretary of State Olney, who recently joined other leading men of the country in a declaration of reasons why the Panama canal should not be fort1ned, in a statement made today Indicated that he is unconvinced that any such for tifcation was contemplat- ed by the amended Hay-Pauncefoote treaty.
 What Hay-Pauncefoote Treaty Meant.
 If the intent of the treaty" said MT. Olney, twas that the United States shall have the right to fortify the ca canal athorur or protect it bg military police pressed? If the United States meant to take and Great Britain meant to concede the absoluta ownership and control of the canal, what was the occasion or the sense of it's asking Great Britain to agree to, and of Grea BrItatnS conceding the right of mili- tary policing of the canal? With all due deference to the opinion of Presi- dent Taft and others, l am still of the opinion that the United States, much to it's credit, has constituted itself trustee of this international waterway and. as evidence of it's good faith and sincerity, has stipulated that it will police the canal against law1essness and disorder without reserving to it. self the right to fortify the canal as if 1t were it's own absolute property 7
 Former Secretary of the Navy.
 In a statement also made public to- hay, John D. Long, former United States secretary of the navy. concern ing the canal, says:
 l think that a naval force at each end of the Panama canal is the proper and sufficient protection, together with an adequate military garrison on shore The extensive Notifications suggested are not necessary. The danger is not from the large powers, to whom the canal is nearly as 1mportants as to us, to whom also the destruction of the canal would be no advantage, even as war measure. and who, I believe, would regard treaty stipulations for it's neutrality. The danger is from less responsible powers and irresponsible individual parties, against whom the above protection would be sufficient and indeed better adapted than the proposed Notifications.
 No Adequate Public Opinion Yet
 Formed.
 Edwin D. Mead, an associate of Will jam D., Howells, Nicholas Murray But Ter, John Graham Brooks, Bliss Perry and others, in protesting against the proposed policy of fortihcation, today expressed the belief that. the idea had been so suddenly sprung upon the country and had been so superficially discussed, that no proper or adequate public opinion had vet been formed
