"UNION WITH BRITAIN"

NEW IDEAI./FOR GERMAN NAVY LEAGUE. BERLIN, May 2. According to a prominent article in the K-in-Ueimau Taeglische Rundschaii, by -Admiral Breusing, one of the nosiest of Hie 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 intou'sts" lie. Grant Britain, it is asserted, can only avert 'evefuual disintegration by promoting the gratification of the requirvmentsvof Germany for more ternLory. Unless ihe "kindred Germanic nations" unite. f dr common defence the hordes of Pan-Shavian and Pan-Moiigo-liuiistn will in the course of the twentieth century overwhelm the race. "Glorv -hungry" France is promoting such a clusn in Europe with all the power at its command. Only if the "Gei manic 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 " : 'linenvion sly give heed to the requirements of the various branches of the common race—for example;'thinned of the grownrg German nation for new lands ™*J*" tish policy of playing the different Peoples of Europe against one another in order to return supremacy for Great Britain can no longer be maintained >" t he of the Slavs and Mongolians on the one hand and m» rho other html the growth of the Oernr>u people, whose Fatherland has become too narrow, and who are irresistibly compelled by nature to seek expansion.'' Th"s« savs Admiral Breusing, are the ideals inspiring the Gorman ur-c-arvsations like the Army, Navy, and Pan-German Leagues, which do not desire either British territory or a war with Great Britain. He hints where their ambitions may be gratified bv n reference ' to "territory-surfeited France."
