BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
THE RATIO OF SHIPS. [Bt Electric Telegraph—Copyright] £Uniti9 Pekm Amooiaxiok.] Berlin, February 20. In the debate on the Navy Estimates, Count Tirpitz, replying to criticism, said he failed to see anything unpatriotic in German firms accepting contracts for the Russian navy. If Russia could not get supplies in Germany, she would get them elsewhere. Therefore it was undesirable to promote a monopoly in another country which he would not name. Herr Ekzberger said there was no agreement. England could base her armament on Germany s naval policy in'-a ratio of 16 to 10, which was all > very fine, but England had 25 to 10, and if Russia was now throwing all her weight into the Baltic, it was the business of the German foreign policy to prevent it.
