UNION WITH BRITAIN.

According to a prominent article in the Pan-German Taegliscae Kundschau, by Admiral Breusing, one oi the noisiest of the Navy League's corps of agitators, German energies must henceforth be devoted to isolating Great Britain from France and Russia and to making her see where her "vital interests" lie. Great Britain, it is asserted, can only avert eventual disintegration by promoting the gratification o fthe requirements of Germany for more territorry. Unless the "kindred Germanic nations" unite for common defence .the hordes of Pan-Slavism and Pan-Mongolian-ism will in the course of the twentieth, century overwhelm the race. "Glory-hungry" France is promoting such a clash in Europe with all the power at its command. Only if the "Germanic races" stand shoulder to shoulder both in the Near and Far East can their subjugation be avoided. Great Britain and Germany must, therefore, it is added, bury their differences and "mienviously give heed to the requirements of the various branches of the common race—for example, the need of the growing German nation for new lands." The British policy of playing the different peoples of Europe against one another in order to retain supremacy for Great ,'Britain can no longer be maintained in face of the "onslaught of the Slavs and Mongolians on the one hand and on the other hand the growth of the German people, whose Fatherland has become too narrow, and who are irresistibly compelled by nature to seek expansion." These, says Admiral Breusing, are the ideals inspiring the German organisations like the Army, Navy, and Pan-Ger-man Leagues, which do not desire either British territory or a war with Great Britain. He hints where their ambitions may be gratified by a reference to "territory-surfeited France."
