NO DESIRE TO ATrACK BRITAIN ORIGIN OF NAYAU SCARES. By Tclterarb-PM" AseoclaUon-Oopyritnt, ' . (Rcc. February 21,10.10 p.m.) Berlin, February 21. Herr Schrader, in a speech in tho Reichstag on the Navy Estimates, , said Great Britain was now convinced that tho reported acceleration of tho German navy programme was untrue. Germany was neither in a position to attack, nor did she desire to attack, England. Tho whole naval hullabaloo was a weapon in the hands of. tho English Opposition. The German fleet was solely for homo defence. Trade was not made by warships, but through its own activity.' The quostion of the limitation of nrniainents would bo raited when tho.Chancellor's estimates were considered. Admiral von TirpiU, Minister for Marine, corroborated Herr Schrader's definition of the liavy's objects.
