B.G FIGHT ANTICIPATED
FOREIGN, NAVAL POLICIES
4
BERLIN, March 1C.—A big fight
la anticipated In the Reichstag over
the naval policy of the empire. The
foreign policy of the government Is
mlBO coming In for criticism. An in
quiry Is scheduled also for the ex
planation of the suppression of the
Zunkunft and tho permanent ban
upon his writing on Hardin the
editor.
The submarine policy and what
the extremists claim the' “Indecent
concessions to American exactions’'
will be the center of the storm, it
is also not unlikely that the policy
of keeping the ships intact without*
showing fight at Wilhplmshcven will
be called upon to change.
Significant ot the government’s
troubles is the announced resigna
tion of Admiral von Tirpitz and the
appointment of his successor Admi
ral Cappelle as Minister of Marine
Capolle has been known once an
“The German Admiral Fisher”, on
account of the fighting demands
which he has persistently advocated.
Capelle moreover was a strong
opponent to surrendering any thing
to the American demands on the
submarine question and his appoint
ment is considered an attempt to
conciliate the naval extremists by
the government.
The Chancellor is endeavoring to
smoothe over the growing troubles
and will certainly insist that the
Foreign policy of the government be
not interfered with.
Owing to the-fact-that better re
sults have not been obtained In th j
Verdun drive, most unreasonably
not considering the difficulties which
confronted the German troops, a de
mand is made for changes of gen
erals. The Kaiser is not pleased at
the attitude of the Reichstag.

NOVA SCOTIA PARLIAMENT
HALIFAX, March 16.—Fought
from first to last by the most power
ful of all the Interests In this pro
vince, the prohibition bill passed the
Nova Scotia legislature today at
noon.

the dry bills of tho Canadian pro
vinces is an absolute one. Liquor
cannot be bought or sold, imported
or manufactured within the confines
of the province. Possession of
liquor on one's person is a grave
ofTense while the penalty for owning
booze is quite severe.
Notwithstanding the powerful op
position, it passed the legislature by
quite a large majority and will be
a law as soon as signed by the
Governor.
