Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable 70 The Washington Herald.
London. Jan. IA. J. Bslfour. first
lord of the admiralty, was asked in the
house Of commons today whether it was
true that Germany had produced a new
seventeen-inch naval gun. He was also
asked what steps were being taken to
meet any development in the way of new
ships or large guns being produced by
Germany during the period Of naval in
activity. Mr.. Balfour said:
mo doubt 1t has been within the power
Of Germany to initiate during the war
and perhaps to complete the building Of
large ships with powerful armament.
I'VE have no evidence that seventeen
inch guns exist, but given the time and
labor. there would be no difficulty in
making them.
las regards the preparedness of the
British navy. II may be said that every
dockyard, public or private, at home or
in the Mediterranean, is being used eth
er for new constructions or for repairing
requirements OF ourselves and our allies
This being SO, II is impossible to add to
the magnitude OF our preparations"

LINCOLN THE LEARNER.

TNHE hesitation which marked
Lincoln's policy in the first
year of his administration and
which caused him to lag very
often SO far behind the more ardent Of
his supporters has been acknowledged
even by those whom it most irritated
to have been simply the hesitation Of
a man unused to his position, but who
was conscious of his deficiencies and
determined to commit no error through
inexperience, wrote Edwin l.. lGodkin.
Aud all admit the profound wisdom,
the intimate knowledge of the people
with whom he had to deal, displayed
In his determination from first to last

He knew how defective his training
and education were, how little his pre-
vious course OF life had done TO fit
him for his position, and to what
storm Of hate and malignity he ex-
posed himself, and yet he never
flinched.
He was never guilty of the smallest
pretense of affectation. He never at
tempted to conceal the fact that he
was learner. but he learned with q
rapidity and retained with a tenacity
which astounded those who thought
