RIVAL NAVIES
BERLIN, Marcn 4. Hferr yon Rath, a retired Councillor of the Legation, in a newspaper article naively declares that Germany's hope of so modifying her own naval inferiority to Great Britain that, in the event of a struggle, her position would not be hopeless, is based upon the anticipation that the British Liberals will build fewer ships, in view of the requirements of their social policy. The Kaiser was present at the launching of the first Dreadnought, which was christened the Rassan. Extreme secrecy was observed, and no foreign attaches or press correspondents were allowed to be present.
