New Snuadrnn Snnn

Berlin, July 24.-Such progress has
been made with the strengthening of
the German navy that 1t is now official
ly announced that the new third
squadron of eight battleships will be
commissioned by the autumn of 1914
This is far earlier than thought pos
sible. This will bring the active bat
tleship fleet up to 20 in full commits
sion Crews for the four battleships
of the reserve squadron, which, ac-
cording to the same law, are TO be
kept in full readiness for sea at all
times will not be available proba bly,
for two or three years after the ships
are commissioned, and 1t is pointed out
that the alarmists In the British press
and parliament are premature in as
suming the presence at sea of 20 ships
fully manned In the autumn of 1914
This increase in the German fleet, ac-
cording to the statement of a respon-
sible German diplomat, is solely due
to the provocative Mansion house
speech Of the British minister, David
Lloyd George delivered at the height
of the Morocco crisis in 1911. which
has not been counteracted by the more
conciliatory utterances of Mr.. Lloyd
George at the Mansion house banquet
this year, or by Sir Edward Grey's ref
erence to the Improvement in Anglo
German relations.
The extraordinary expenditures en-
tailed by the army and navy bills are
contemplated cbeerfully by the Ger
mans who f1nd much more to worry
them in the increased cost of living.
While the total charges for the Ger
man army and navy, including this
years increase, Is less than IS per
head per year, yet German econ
omist, Dr. George Goldstein, has COM
puted that each Berlin citizen will pay
approximately SIS more for meat this
year than he would have paid 10 years
ago.
For the normal family of five or six
this represents an added drain on the
family exchequer of $25 or more. For
Greater Berlin the total extra cost Is
figured s1s000,000 a year.

That the religion of the Moros reach

ton of the Christian religion is indi-
Gated by their belief in many charac-

Adam, Mosa, Ismail, Daud, Sulaiman.
Yakub and Alse. who is supposed to
be Samson.
Work done by the United States gov
eminent has showed results. Ten years
ago the Moros would kill an American
on sight. Today there are schools in
every settlement, schools Of trade and
industrial farms. The government
farm at San Ramon, near Zamboanga,
is an object lesson to the Moro that
he is not too dull to comprehend, and
experiments that prove beneficial to
him as likely to open up new vistas of
enterprise or improve the old are
brought to his attention, and he Is en-
couraged to give them a fair trial.
SCHOOLS FOR MoRos
Public schools, as must be expected,
are not far developed. OF the 1884

of Moroland 1884 are Filipinos, S4S
Moros and 100 Pagans. The fifty-sev-
en- schools which represent the educa-
tional efforts there are distributed over
every province. OF the eight instruc-
tors there are only fourteen Ameri-
cans, yet English is taught in every
school and is fast becoming the Ian
guage of the land Embroidery and
hat, lace. mat and textile making and
other arts and trades are the stepping
stones upon which mount the primary
school graduates. The making Of ugly
weapons Is no longer the main interest
Of the Moros.
Mindanao has not been so fortunate
as her three northern neighbors in Sc
curing a railroad to tap her hinterland.
The government planned to put one

wealth of vast, fertile belt Of coun-
try to the world. This region is in
babited by the Samals, a dangerous

those whose hearts he broke were more

marry those he wished to possess, ana
they were always short lived. HIS
neighbors who knew of his Bluebeard
practices called him Baron Manteufel

veloped his mothers disposition. He
was the baron's only child, and, al
though of an entirely different charac-

Oilers, was twenty-five he went to his
! father one day and told him that he
had fallen in love and wished to
marry.

you, and the wedding shall take place
in this house instead Of hers. Her
family shall be at no expense"
Young Herman was delighted with
his fathers complaisance in the mat

father, who was widower and was
getting old, wished to have the house
lightened up by woman's presence.

raging himself in his finest apparel,
drove away for the bride.

carriage the baron presented her as
his wife. He had dazzled her with
his great wealth, thus obtaining her
consent to marry him instead Of his
son, who had nothing in his own

Photos graph. on Finger Nails.

A fad in Germany Is the mounting Of
photographs on the finger nails, the idea
growing out of the within of cousin
Of the kaiser who had an enameled por-
trait of her fiance worked on the nail
Of her little finger. This portrait was
a work of art and cost 500, but now
the fashionable manicures Of Berlin
have taken up the idea in the photo
graph form. The feature of this work
by manicures is rendering the photo
graph waterproof, which is done by
coating it over with shellac-like sub
stance burned upon the nail. 1t Is said
that, with careful handling, n photo
graph so mounted will last about four
