The Hague, April SO.-From the Ger
man frontier to the North Sea. every
city, town and hamlet Of the Neither
lands today displayed profusion of
flags and gave other evidences of re-
ioicing over the fifth birthday anni-
versary of the little Princess Juliana,
what will one day be the ruler of the
Netherlands, with 4O,OOO,OOO subjects
at home and abroad.
The birth of the princess on April
80, 1909, was hailed with great Joy by
the people of the Netherlands, since
It fulfilled a long-deferred hope and
assured the succession of the House Of
Orange to the Dutch throne The In
FAINT princess was christened Juliana
Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina. The
name Of Juliana was given her in
memory of Countess Juliana of Mas
sau, wife OF Prince Frederick Henry,
and mother Of the two branches Of the
House Of Orange Nassau. The name
Of Louise recalls Louise de Coligny,
wife of William the Silent. The names
of Emma, Marie and Wilhelmina are

ANNEXATION not
LIKELY, HALE
SAYS
PRESIDENT WILSON'S uNoFFlc-
IAL INvETssTlGAToR SPEAKS
ABOUT MEXICO

New York, April S0.-William Bay
ard Hale, President Wilson's unofficial
Investigator OF affairs in Mexico. has
contributed to the forthcoming number
of The worlds Work an article up
polding the presidents Mexican policy
and pointing out an important devel-
opment in the character of American
diplomacy. This, he explains. is an
Interpretation Of the Monroe doctrine
that establishes the suzerainty of the
United States only as an effective
source Of moral inspiration over the
nations of Central America and the
West Indies.
"The press and the people Of Amer
lea, !" he says, "have not yet awakened
to the fact that the first year Of the
Wilson Presidential has given the
United States new character among
the powers of the world. Before Mr.
Wilson had been in office week, he
had given the Monroe Doctrine an In
depreciation the implications Of which
go far beyond anything voiced by JEFF
ferson, Madison, Monroe, Quincy,
Adams, Polk, Webster, Grant or OIL
ney. Before Mr.. Wilson had been in
office a year the power Of other con
tinents had yielded to the principle Of
our domination in the western hemis-
phere. It is not fantastical therefore
to speak of our moral empire in Amer
lea"
"Our Moral Empire in America is
the title of the article. The magazine
editors point out that DR.. Hale de-
sires to make it clear that he writes
simply as private student of affairs.
Nevertheless, they assert that no one
except the president himsen is en-,
titled to speak with greater authority
upon the problems of Latin America
Discussing the possibility Of inter
vention in Mexico (the article was
written before the fleet was ordered
to Tampico), Dr.. Hale says: An
American army would have no phys
lcal difficulty in getting back out OF
Mexico; nobody would use it UP be-
fore it got away; the difficulty would
be that greed and a false sense OF
national honor would do their utmost
to keep US there permanently in occu-
patton"
We do not want Mexico he de-
,clares; especially we do not want her
because we want the good will Of
attn America. "It would be a FOOLS
act indeed to barter the confidence OF
a hemisphere for all we could gain by
annexing Mexico"
If armed intervention should be fore
ed upon us, he continues, Il predict
that our forces will be ordered home
just as soon as constitutional order
has been restored; and that, so far as
the power and influence of President
Wilson can bring it to pass, nothing in
the nature Of an indemnity, either in
money or land, will be asked or will
be accepted. But nobody can predict
how far the influence of the vast

DEWEY THREATENED

Won Diederich's Reply Published

1900 Words
By Associated Press

Berlin, Feb. 2S.-Admiral Won Die
derichs replies III print to-day to the
statements made by Admiral Dewey
regarding the exciting incidents be-
tween the American and German
naval commanders in Manila Bay dur
ing the Spanish American War.
The reply is published in the official
Marine Rundschau and is spread over
1900 words. 1t contains the report
of the visit made to Admiral Dewey
on July 10. 1898. by the then flag
Lieutenant Won Hintze, who is now
German Minister to Mexico.
1t is evident from this report that
Admiral Dewey threatened the Ger
mans with war If they did not cease
their interference with the blockade
regulations, and IL they refused to per-
NIT the Americans to make the in
quiries necessary to establish the iden-
tity of neutral warships. Won Dieder-
ichs says:
Admiral Dewey gradually talked
himself into passion. He said Why,
/ shall stop every vessel, whatever
may be her colors. And if she does
not stop. L shall fire at her. And that
means war. do you know, sir?' When
the phrase If Germany wants war,

match to a mass of explosives which

STEELTON EXPECTS
BIG BUILDING BOOM
DURING THE SUMMER
Believed Real Estate Syndicate Will
Erect 100 Houses to Take
/, Care Of Homeless

Obliteration of large part of the
lower West Side of Steelton by the
Pennsylvania Steel Company to make
room for improvements, will cause
one of the biggest building "booms"
in the history of the borough in the
opinion of prominent real estate men.
Out of town capitalists, 1t was
learned authoritatively this morning,
have already made tantative offers for
an option on a large tract of land east
of the borough for building purposes.
A party of real estate men were in
the borough yesterday afternoon look
ing over two available cites. The
owner of at least one of these
tracts has been approached by agents
of these men with an offer for an op-
ton. 1t is understood that q syndi-
cate contemplates the erection during
the next summer of about 100 new
houses of the bungalow style, houses
that will be sold at from $2,500 to
$4,000.
At a recent meeting of the Munich
pal League, one of the borough's most
aggressive organizations, attention was
called to the great demand for houses
of moderate price then existing .in
Steelton. The opinion was expressed
that at least zoo houses were needed
at that time.

LENGTH OF FISCAL
YEAR MAY EFFECT
THE CITY TAX RATE
Expenditures For Only Nine
Months Need Be Provided
This Time
BUDGET CONFERENCE TODAY
Fire Drivers Salaries May Be
Raised $40 Per Month
Forrer Leaves

While the city tax rate for 1914
cannot be definitely determined until
after the budget is completed. every
indication points to a reduction of at
least a half, and perhaps whole
mill.
The fact that provision for expendi-
lures covering a fiscal year of nine.
instead of twelve months, makes a
reduction follow.
The City Commissioners got to-
gether for the frs thine yesterday aft
ernoon on the skeleton measure and
another conference on the probable
expenses was held this afternoon at 8
o'clock.
The budget for 1918 totaled $780,
1923, and while the total of the short
year. necessary appropriations cannot
yet be more than roughly estimated,
it is figured, conservatively speaking,
that the 1914 budget may be nearly
100000 less. And the mill rate for
the 1913 budget is nine and half
mills.
Six Months Longer to Pay Taxes
The change in the city government
brought about by the Clark bill will
affect the collection Of city taxes next
year. The budgetmakers will meet
again late in November and prepare
the 1915 budget, SO that the ordi-
nance may become effective January ],
when the levy of the taxes begins. The
taxpayers will have from January L
