In German Navy Affairs

Gda Boy Ed has played a conspicuous
role in the development Of the kaiser's
navy. For five years previous to his
assignment to the naval attacheship Of
the German embassy at Washington.
Boy-Ed served at the imperial navy
department in Berlin as the chief lieu
tenant Of Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz.
secretary Of the navy. His official
title was chief of the news division"
Of the navy. and practically the en-
tire Intelligence service of that
branch Of the German war establish

His principal activities in Berlin were
devoted to making propaganda In the
press and in parliament on behalf OF
the Kaisers regularly recurring naval
expansion legislation. Each increase In
the German fleet under Won Tirpitz 8
shrewd administration used to be pre-
ceded by a comprehensive press cam
opinion as to the urgent necessity" Of
more dreadnaughts and submarines.
The "English peril was the favorite
theme. Boy-Ed's news division" was
material for these periodical campaigns.
1t was largely under his direction that
the broad masses Of the German nation
were taught in their. public prints and
by reichstag debates on naval bills TO
believe in what the Kaiser called 1.-The
bitter need" of great German sea power
