BERLIN, Aug. o4.--Ever since the
practical destruction OF the Russian feet
at Tsushma the necessity OF naval pre-
parcdness has bocn kept In mind by
Russian statesmen and with the passing &
of the Russian navy bill by the duma

committed to a naval programme which
will make her a formidable opponent at
sea.
The bill provides for an expenditure OF
$3.50, 600, 600. Of which nearly $500. 900 900
is TO be spent on new battleships for the
Baltic and Black The present pro-
vision Is for four armored cruisers. eight

FRANCO-RUSSIAN
KNOT TIGHTENED

BERLIN, Aug. 2i.-rhe conclusion of
the new Franco Russian convention still
excites the public mind, and although Il
Is not considered r. menace to Germany,
It has nevertheless caused widespread
disappointment that the convention
should come so shortly after the meeting
between the kaiser and the car.
1t seems to throw some shadow across
the formers diplomatic ability and use
fulness to the country. especially as Sow
eral French papers weeks ago announced
that while the kaiser had full power to
act for his people, the car could give
no binding promises. until after NJ. Poin-
cares visit TO St Petersburg. The
prophecy has now come true. and great
Is the disappointment of the people OF
Germany, who remembered how the
Potsdam agreement resulted from the
last meeting between cZar and kaiser.
The significance OF the new convention
Is considered to lie more In the emphasis
OF the close relations between Russia
and France, and In the strengthening OF
their alliance rather than In any actual
extension Of their arrangements for CO.
operation In case OF war, II France and
Russia. under the terms Of the previous
ly existing alliance were engaged In war
against other powers. their navies would
necessarily act together with or without
specific agreement or this particular
point. The new convention Is thus re-
garded as political rather than strategi-
cal In character
The advocates OF naval expansion will
exploit the conclusion OF the convention
TO aid their vigorous propaganda for a
be described as new link In the chain
which the triple alliance of Great Britain.
France and Russia is accused OF forging
around Germany.
