America’s Navy.
Congress has added three thousand men to the navy and voted a million and a half dollars (£800,000) for target practice, on hundred and twenty thousand (£24,000) being devoted to prizes for marksmanship. America’s huge naval programme (involving an expenditure of sixteen millions sterling) is interpreted as a reply to the German and Austrian attempts to revive the Central European Customs boycott against the United States—a movement which is regarded as impracticable, and merely an adroit weapon to advance Germany’s colonial and economic policies.
