tic battle cruisers like the Won der
Tam and Moltke and swift Drecd-
noughts like the Oldenburg.
As early as 1867 the German war OF.
fee had mapped out scheme for a
feet Of sixteen ironclads and fifty
smaller vessels, to cost $25,OOO.OOO.
But this scheme was hardly more thanJ
started when the hoshlities of the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870 broke
out Such ships as were In the water
were wholly unable to face the strong
French sea force, though in the one or
two small actions that were fought the
Germans did not discredit themselves.
From this time on the German navy
expanded very slowly. The first mod
ern first class warships were laid down
in 1890. about the same time the Unit
ed States was beginning to experiment
with bAttlesh1ps. These early battle
ships of the German navy were known
as the Brandenburg class. They had
about the same displacement as our
Oregon, and they were, in a sense, an
anticipation of the all big gun type
of line of battle ship in use today. In
asmuch as they carried main batteries
of six eleven-inch guns. two more big
guns than were carried by warships in
other navies.
Apparently the all big gun battle
ship did not appeal to the German ma
val authorities of the early nineties.
for in the next class Of battleship to
be built, the Kaiser class, the armament
was shifted to lighter basis. con-
sisting of four "a inch guns and eight
cen six-inch. From this time until
about year ago there was not a bat
tleship in the German navy that car
inch bore Although other navies were
arming their ships with the twelve inch
and in our navy the thirteen inch gun
was used twelve years and more ago,
the Germans stuck to the eleven inch.
Even their first DreadnOughts Of the
Nassau type were equipped with elev-
en- inch guns. The first ships to carry
the heavier pieces were the super.
Dreadnoughts of the Ostfriesland class.
It was in 1900 that the present pro-
gressive building program for the navy
was instituted in Germany, partly in
consequence Of the anger aroused
among Germans by the seizure Of the
German steamship Bundesrath by a
British cruiser on the coast Of Africa
on a charge Of carrying contraband
of war to the Beers Under the spur
Of the public indignation and the ap-
peals of the emperor the reichstag
passed an extended naval defense act
under the terms of which 1t was pro-
posed to spend $224.OOO,OOO on con.
struction and s1OOOOO.OOO on dock
yards. With this money. it was antic-
ipated, Germany should heve in 1917

ships, with a propordonate number Of

Germany has been building ships
rapidly during the past ten years. In
1904 she had only 10 battleships as
against IS today; 4 battle cruisers
in 1904 and Ii Of this class now; II
protected cruisers ten years ago as
against 43 Of this class today. In 1904
Germany had only 81 destroyers, but
now has al of this class of vessel. In
1904 the personnel Of the kaiser's sea
force numbered $4,000 men and today
numbers nearly 10000 actives and no.
900 reserves. Three new battleships
md two battle cruisers have been
launched within the year and will
shortly be in commission.
The visit to American waters In 1911
Of German feet, led by the great bat
tie cruiser Moltke, said by Germans to
be the fastest armored craft in the
world, directed the attention Of Amer
leans to the navy Of the fatherland,
navy which had been built up out of
practically nothing to place among
the first three navies Of the world, but
which had never been called upon to
Withstand the test of battle. Exactly
what Is the German navy worth? That
question has long been the principal
preoccupation of the admiralty Of
every country in Europe and of sea
fighting experts In Washington hardly
less. It has been racking the brains
Of the persons who are supposed to
keep track Of the balance of sea power
ever since the German warships' build
ing program caught the attention Of
rival powers some years ago.
At that time the German fleet rank
ed far down in the list. But it was a
very short time before the kaiser's
naval program, as thoroughly Teuton1c
in its rigid orderliness and economic
system as the organization Of his army
corps, placed Germany ahead Of all
countries except Great Britain and the
United States.
Slowly, steadily, the German deet
crept forward toward the first rank
among the worlds navies. 1t is true
that up to within couple Of years
ago American battleships were In indi-
vidual power probably superior to
those Of Germany. but Germany, with
jealous eyes turned on her principal
maritime rival, England, saw the signs
