A startling story regarding secret enormous expansion of German armaments appears in the “ Manchester Courier ” (stated a cable message in the Sydney ‘ Sun ’ of the 10th inst.). The paper says that six of the new cruisers, which were supposed to bo of the protected type, are armored, and are virtually invulnerable. Instead of lying down 12 torpedo boat destroyers, as her programme said she would, she laid down 21 last year. These additions practically place Germany a year ahead of her programme of naval armaments. More than this, the Paris papers publish, with expressions of much disquietude, statements that Germany is considerably augmenting her military forces.
