Will World Be Shocked and Horrified
By European War?-Rumored That
“There Will Be War”
Berlin. —If the whqle world is not
shocked and horrified by European
war In the course of the next few
years It will not be the fault of a cer
tain circumscribed disgruntled section
of the German community. This in
sidious campaign is bolstered up by
men who disguise their patriotism un
der a strange cloak.
At the moment the campaign takes
the line of "creating an atmosphere"
favorable to a greater navy and if the
object is achieved it Is certain that a
huge navy would require some outlet
for its warlike activities.
Throughout Bavaria, Baden, Wur
temburg and Saxony, lectures and ki
nematograph shows are in full swing
showing the deluded people how a
greater na . y is essential for the fu
ture of the German race.
Recently Admiral Bretising has been
telling a spell-bound Stuttgart audi
ence that not only is the German navy
inadequate to protect German inter
ests but he Is locking forward to the
time when the German navy will
sweep Great Britain from the seas.
Nice, peaceful sentiments these, you
think!
“When It Comes."
"When the war comes,” said the ad
al. "our position will be most fa
vorable. our destroyer and torpedo
craft cannot fail to cause tremendous
damage to the British ships, for we
a~‘ used to night attacks. Further,
the enemy will have great difficulties
to provide themselves with amtnuni
lion, while we shall have ours on
hand.
The moment will then come when
many British ships being destroyed
by our guns, many others detained
In far distant seas by the protection
of British trade, the two fleets will
be equal in numbers. From that mo
ment I can confidently say the advan
tage will I e on our side.
"Our torpedo boats, our guns, our
shorting, all are far superiar to what
is done jn England at present. Our
guns can do terrific harm at ten miles
distance, and the British fleet will be
disabled before even they have been
able to attempt to fight us.”
This rosy picture drawn by a man
who has Iren an admiral of the Ger
man fleet and still has a name as a
naval expert, was naturally taken for
gospel truth by those present at his

PLUCKIPROBE
Bill to Reinstate Commodore
Veeder, Who Was Retired
From Navy in 1910, Has
Favorable Report.
Washingon, D. C.—The first fruits of
the investigation of the navy "plucking
board" by the house naval pommrtec
appeared today in a favorable report op
a bill to reinstate Commodore T. E.
Hewitt Veeder, rstired by the board in
1910. The report scored the board in
no uncertain terms; declared Commodore
Veeder’s retirement illegal and asserted
that the efficiency of the navy suffered
a distinct loss by his retirement. A bid
passed to reinstate Commodore Veeder !n
1911 was vetoed by President Taft.
"It was shown." said the report, "tha'
Captains Fox, Moore and Mertz. who
were eligible for retirement at the urn*
time Commodore Veeder was retired,
had records much Inferior to him. The
reports showed that one of them had
lost a ship. Another had been add'd'
ed to drunkenness to such an extent that
he was ’unfit for the service and was
yet promoted to the rank of rear-ad
miral.’’
The retirement of Commodore Vendor,
the report says, was based on his "repu
tation.”
"The idea that the hoard can take ths
reputation of an officer as given them
privately,” said the report, “by those
who may have been actuated by selfish
motives or envy or personal dislike and
adopt this as a guide to determine that
such officer is less efficient than others
whose reputation is known to the board,
is such a violation of a fundamental
principle of justice that the committee
eoulu not approve it.”

meeting, who cheered him wildly.
Two Nations.
The admiral then prophesied two na
tions—ltaly and Japan—would, in the
future war, play a part which nobody,
except Admiral Breuslng, of course,
had dreamed of.
"Italy will have a double task,” he
said. "Her fleet will neutralize the
French fleet in the Mediterranean, and
her army will invade Egypt. The
Italian fleet will be able to keep the
French under control, even without
the asst, tanoe of the new Austrian
dreadnaughts. As to her army, she
has some 100,000 men In Tripoli, which
she can easily send into Egypt to ex
treminate the weak English - garrison
(some 15,000 men) staioned there.
“Then, Japan is only a make-believe
friend and ally of England. The mi
kado's government is tired of Eng
land's proceedings, and only too anxi
ous to shake off the British yoke.
There is no doubt that, in case of a
European war, the Japanese fleet Will
sail to Australia, and seize both the
Commonwealth and New Zealand.”
“And.”
“A great shuffle of colonies follows,
and,” said the admiral, "some of these
we shall get. We shall not renew the
shameful and scandalous retreat of
Agadir, where we Germans renounced
Morocco only on account of Great
Britain's threats.
"In the future we shall contemptu
ously disregard English threats and
the only way to achieve this lies in
these word3s: 'We must increase and
even double our fleet in order to con
quer and defend the overseas colonies
which we need. No sacrifice is too
heavy for Germans with such an ends
In view.' ”
Such is the character of the lec
tures which are being delivered In
uncountable German towns and re
produced in provincial newspapers,
under the direction of the Navy
League, the membership of which now
approaches 1,600,000 wdth 4,000 local
branches.
