SECTION VI.
ECONOMIC NECESSITY OF En-
PANSION

The first prerequisites for world
power are extensive territory and
population, together with a power
full tendency toward expansion. A
world power needs extensive terri
tory, not only for food and
the raw materials necessary TO man
ufacture but also as a market for
these manufacturers. Besides, it
needs a population bound together
by customs, speech and blood. The
size OF the possessions will not do il
of itself-the possessions must be
in safe hands. the possessors must
be linked together by a strong and
inseparable tie. only that state can
be a world power and remain such
which disposes of sufficient forces
10 rule and hold its wide territory
and corresponding share of world
trade"
(Arthur Dix, Deutschland

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 1901. p.

Economic superiority, which is
the result of a more extensive ter
ritory, must in time lend TO po-
litical superiority and predom-
nance. In other words, great king
doms keen for conquest are in
position finally 70 make the little
ones subject to them: or. vice versa.

by exports TO foreign markets. with

az their disposal for their indie

both room and nourishment for the
surplus. p If we had limited
ourselves TO the territory formerly
in our possession we should have
lost the larger part of our increase
TO foreign countries and the rest
would have been without work. The
increase in population would soon
have come to an end, and our eff
fectiveness in labor and in war, the
dissemination of German speech,
German thought and productivity
over the world would not have been
able to continue. The increase of
population would have passed into
the curse of overpopulation-a SUI
perfluity Of those without work and
in misery. That. however, must
never be. The rapid growth
of the German people must continue
TO give il room, light and air. AS
a world power in the world market,
We must assert our place and make
1t secure in order that the younger
hands may find room and opportu-
nifty for employment"

Puritan Fathers of the early days of New England life.
 In writing that greatest novel of American literature. "The Scarlet Let ter" the Passion Play of New Eng land" Nathaniel Hawthorne laid his hand upon the familiar combination of the wife, the lover, and the husband Aside from the masterly manner in which Hawthorne has treated his theme, it is unique in this The prob lem of the love triangle is treated, not during the period Of temptation and fall, but after the current of expiation and repentance has set in.
 The three main characters in this powerful story are the young Puritan minister, who carries the secret of his own laise from Pastoral purity locked up beneath an exterior that commends itself to the reverence of his flock; the softer partner of his guilt standing in the full glare of ex- posture; and the livid sinister figure of the injured and rotributivc husband

STORY OF YUKON
 TOLD AT COLISEUM.

The gold strike on the Klondike, featured in The Lure of Hearts De- sire" which was shown last night at the Coliseum and which will be re- peatcd tonight. The scenic part of the production was good and the early gold camps of the Northland and the different phases of life were reproduced as faithfully as possible.
 The keeper of a lone lighthouse res cues a beautiful young woman who has been cast away on his island and falls in love with her. She spurns him. but says that if he can come to her wealthy he might have chance. He leaves for the North. In the meantime she is addicted to the gambling table and gets in the power of wealthy gambler who forces her to introduce him into her set.
 The man in the North on the day the bully of the camp to protect a poor little Indian girl. and out of grati- tude she follows him on stampede with a man who is thought crazy by the stampeders.
 During the trip to the lost mine. the crazy gold miners meets with an ac- cident which costs his life and his com panion almost loses his. after arriving in sight of his goal The little Indian maid saves his life and he finds that the tale of his former compa nion has been correct.
 Wealthy he returns east and again seeks the girl She dare not accept him through fear of the gambler, but the latter becomes jealous. How things are finally strengthened out and how the man return to the north to find the Indian maid dead. but to find that he is the father of a fine little daughter. and how the girl who first caused him to come North gets her just deserts, forms the balance of the theme.

ERROR IN POSTAGE
 STAMPS DISCOVERED

WASHINGTON. Nov s=A mis- take by the United States govern ment in printing its sheets of 2-oent stamps has given wide-awake deal CTS an opportunity to indulge in the liveliest speculation in current stamps that has been known for several years. It is the first time since the government began issuing adhesive postage stamps in 1S47 that an actual error in value has been made.
 On one of the plates of the red g. cent stamps there are three stamps bearing the numeral "5" on each side of the word cents instead of "2." When the error was discov- cred the Postoffice Department re- called all the copies, but large number of them got out and the collectors of United States stamps have been making great efforts to get them.
 The error plate contains four sheets of 100 stamps each. On one of these sheets is one error and an- other sheet contains two errors. When the mistake was first diseov- cred and it was believed few sheets had been sold. few of the complete sheets, with the errors, sold for $200 and more apiece. It 1t estimated that 50.000 plates were printed with the errors. making 150.000 individual scent stamps of the color of the 2-cent variety.
 There has been a steady fall in price, and recently a dealer sold a few copies at auction, the first time they have been offered at public sale. A single error brought s7.10.
