Berlin, March 20, â€" The Reichstag‘s reply to Great Britain‘s naval panie was made toâ€"day in a surprisin’g and unpreâ€" cedented form, The business before the House was the second reading of the naval estimates, and in view of the fact that the estimates occupied t‘r' Budget Committee for a week in prolonged and animated debate, it was expected that there would be opposition to the big apâ€" propriations demanded. / Instead every item of the naval estinfates was passed in rapid succession without debate, and the estimates as a whole were adopted in about an hour. _ Such a thing has never happened before,â€"and the action oi the House is claimed by the nonâ€" Socialist press as "a demonstration, the significance of which would be undoubtâ€" edly rightly understood at home and abroad." Reichstag Rushes Through Naval Estim.ates Without Discussion. Imperial Government‘s Warmest Gratitude to New Zealand. There is very reason to suppose, howâ€" ever, that expectation of Chancellor von Buelow‘s statement influenced all the parties to some extent, while the attiâ€" tude of the Socialists can be gathered from an article in toâ€"day‘s Vorwaerts, sharply attacking the Government _ for rejecting the British efforts towards a mutual limitation of naval armaments, and declaring that imperialism has beâ€" come a grave danger to the country. ‘Io the millions of humble Bible readers, who gladly accept the ouly history we have of these matters, what blasphemous impertinence is â€" conveyâ€" ed in words which to us teach . that the Great _ Creator, the Omniscient One, did not give correctly the deâ€" tails of the work of creation carried on by himself.

The eagerness of the British militar ists to embarass the Government and create a fecling of insecurity among the people has led some of their spokesmen into great absurdities. Even Lord Robâ€" erts himself has not been above resortâ€" ing to clapâ€"trap sensationalism in this connection. But Britain goes on her way, the solid sense of the people rejecting the idea that she is in danger of in. vasion. Col. Gaedke, a leading Germa» military critic, is far from agreeing with Lord Roberts‘ idea that Great Britain is open to invasion by Germany, He said it would be impossible for Germany u»â€" der modern conditions to steal a marcl» on England, even of twentyâ€"four hows in time, by assembling an army of 200,â€" In Fire Following a Territic Storm in Texas.

Oaly two houses were left standing in Slide!1, Twenty persons are reported to have been injured. o ‘The British people would hardly feel bappy if some portion of the population were not enjoying a scare. A favorite form of this indulgence is foreign in vasion. Recently, some adventurous aeroâ€" nauts have succeeded in remaining in the air for a brief time, and actually to some extept directing their airship ; and immediately that part of the British r‘o‘plo which every morning looks to i an invader at its bedside, enjoys ecstatic thrills at the thought of that invader crossing the Channel by meroâ€" plane or war balloon, The Duke of Arâ€" gyll delivered a hairâ€"raising speech in London the other day in which he dis cussed the possible invasion of Britain by an army in balloons. Mis Grace acâ€" tually professed to think such an inâ€" vasion practicable, and declared that "the best thing that could happen to awaken the public in England to a sense of its position is that someone, preferâ€" ably a Frenchman or a German, should have the goodness to direct a large dirâ€" igible balloon to hang over the Bank of England.‘" He seemed to think that that would be a lesson to the people and to the Government that would induce them to double their military expenditures very quickly. The Bogey held up to the people by Mis Grace may be effective in inducing them to ory out for increasâ€" ed war expenditures; but to the average reader and to the scientific student his performance resembles very much that of a somewhat juicy afterâ€"dinaer speech in which the speaker strives to emulate Jules Verne‘s fantastic efforts. _ Sivr Hiram Maxim is quoted as saying that machines could be built with 100 h.â€"p. engines to carry a load of half a ton and remain in the air five hours at a time. Five thousand such machines, cost â€" ing about $40,000,000 _ would, he said, carry 100,000 soldiers across in one night. He admitted that there were contingenâ€" cies to be sonsidered. That is significant. Cne of the contingencies is the chance of half of this army landing in the midâ€" dle of the Atiantic, or being dashed to pieces by the vagaries of the airships, and the other half being deposited conâ€" veniently to British prisons. _ Indeed, there is also to be taken into account the fact that instead of reaching Bagâ€" land, a good many of the 5,000 continâ€" gents might make their _ landing in Greenland or in the Sahara.
