Captain Andersen's assertion that
when the collision with the Empress

for the Golfers stem to remain In the

The size Of the naval estimates for this year,
S257 40, 900, is of course rather staggering, par
ticularly as it represents a material increase
over last years appropriations, but mere figures
in battleship construction count little. 1t is
the proportion of growth between rival countries
that is important. Therefore the declaration
that Great Britain is determined to retain SUI
prenacy over Germany in first-class battleslip
strength in the ratio of eight to five is the sig
nificant fact
Both Great Britain and Germany are now in
the midst of their naval planning for this year.
On February 20 Grand-admiral Won Tirpitz of
the German navy took considerable part in the
discussion of the navy estimates. Some refer
ence having been made to the present South
american cruise of German ships, the grand
admiral said:
"'There is no doubt whatever that the political
and economic advantage of the appearance of
our ships abroad is in many cases not fully APP
preciated We need only ask the Germans who
live abroad. They will confirm the fact to the
full. 1t is not only an economic and political
necessity for us TO bestir ourselves in the for
egn service, but it is also military necessity.
.igrpat navy must be in constant touch with the
ocean and with ocean conditions and also with
foreign conditions If in recent years we have
not done this in the measure that we could have

need not discuss more closely. We needed a
concentration in home waters corresponding
with the circumstances We must, however, he

is that the number of our ships abroad f1Aus-
landsflottcl contemplated by the navy law has
not yet been reached
Won Tirpitz is a navy expansionist. He de-
manded more large cruisers in 1912, but the
claims of the war office for army increases were
given precedence. His utterances above are in
terprcted in England to mean a definite pro-
sram for further adding to German strength on
