I The Hamburg " Fremdenblatt" j heads an article "No Yielding of the | German South Seas." The journal j says there must be no toleration of the i British pretensions to hold these | waters and the islands in which GerJ man Kultur had begun to set a firm | foot. One hears in England, we are told, that Australia and New Zealand ;do not dream of giving them up, and I that therefore the London Govern- , merit feels itself powerless in the matter. This is nonsense England in the leading > Power in the entente and at the Peace Conference its advice will be followed not only by the other Powers but by her own Dominions. Germans must never lose sight of the fact that their Empire firmly established in the South Seas, with numerous aval basse and* coaling stations of her own, can bid defiance to Australia and New Zealand, can hold Japan in check if necessary, can threaten the Western shores of North and South America, and, in addition, secure enormous quantities of valuable raw material. "All our colonial speciais'ts and experts unite in declaring that our set power would be enormously weakened were we to relinquish these possessions, and in our present temper, and in view of our magnificent victories on land, on sea, and in the air, we are not dreaming of relinquishing anything. At the conclusion of the Peace Conference it will be found that I our South Seas possessions will have j been very considerably added to. And i it must be so. " "CHAINED DREADNOUGHTS OF BRITAIN." { Under the above title Captain Pcrsius, in the Berlin "Daily Paper," discussing the passive role which all big gun warshaps have been condemned to play during the war, says: "The English Dreadnoughts have notv fulfilled their real purpose, because the risk attached to any offensive operations has been avoided, and because it is still hoped to master the U-boat menace without sacrificing battleships and battle-cruisers in a decisive engagement. The British Fleet looks impotently on the spectacle of the slow death of the Mercantile Marine. Thus Britain's Dreadnoughts, held in bondage by German U-boats, have so far nroved useless."
