GERMANY'S FLEET WILL
FOLLOW WAITINe POLICY
This Course Has Prevented
Big Naval Battle, Experts
Explain.
BERLIN, (via The Hague), Oct. a.
"The German naval policy is of ne
cessity a waiting on. If England Is
dissatisfied she has her redrew. She
ha the men and she has the ships.
And she know exactly where our
fleet 1."(
That wa the declaration made to
me today by Count Ernst Zu Revent
low, Germany' greatest naval critic,
who ha Just returned from a visit to
the German naval base, In expiating
why there has not been a naval battle
of magnitude to date.
"It 1 not up to our fleet about
half th sis of ths English fleet to
attack and flv battle on their own
ground," continued the count, "Tho
English fleet has shown no disposition
to court tattle, When our deefroyers.
no uumaruiee eeg tnem, we nn'i
them close to their own coast line.
"Bhlp for ehlp our fleet is the equal
of the British. I believe that, what
ever may happen to our fleet it will
give an aooount of itself; lhat, When
the 'battle Is over, there will be grave
doubt whether the British are still the
greatest naval power in the world
And I believe absolutely that the
English themselves take such an out
come into consideration and havs
been waiting in the hope that we will
attack them in their waters, where
verythlng ) in their favor. You
know they sunk the Koenigtn Luise
almost in th very mouth of th
Thame."
"How long do you think the war
will last?" th count wa asked.
"God knows, I don't. The English
ay that It will be a long war and
that their advantage will Increase
with It duration," replied the count.
"It may develop into a long, bitter
truggl between Germany and Eng
land after France and Russia are
exhausted. England can be expected
to seek to dictate a peace, against
which Germany will fight to the last
dltoh. In its effort to crush Ger.
many, England has called upon the
yelfow horde of Asia and France
upon Africa. Thereby they have
brought the future struggle for tho
mastery of the world mch nearer.
And 1 believe that America will be
the first to feel this. Anyhow, Ger
many has at the present time no
reason for depression."

PRONUNCIATION
OP WAR NAMES
(New York Sun.) -Several
readers have written to
Tho Sun requesting the publication
of a key to the pronunciation of
some of the places mentioned fre
quently In the -war dispatches. In
the following list an attempt is
made to give a nearly as possible the
English equivalents of many of the
names.
It should be borne In mind, how
ever, that it Is impossible to Indicate
exactly the sounds employed in pro
nouncing the originals. For instance,
the reader should not place too great
stress on the nasal sounds suggested
in some of the names.
The French smd Belgian names In
the list as a rule are accented equally
on all syllable. To the American ear
this will at first Bound as though the
last pylla'ble were accented. Many of
the Austrian names, on the other
hand, are accented on the first
sellable.
Below will be found words marked
"nasal." To get the correct sound.
for Instance, in the French word
mon (my) it Is pronounced as though
spelled matwn, the n, however, not
being sounded, the word dying away
with a nasal twang. It Is as though
the end of the word tried to get
through the nose but was choked off
and stopped there.

WHAT TWO HENS EARN.
In the poultry raising department

editor of that publication, 'write a
little article In which he tells as fol
lows what two hen earn In the course
of a life time and what they are
worth when killed:
"The dual-purpose hen gives a good
account of herself when she comes to
the block. Two Barred Rock hens
recently used for midsummer Sunday
dinners realized me $1.32 and $1.20
respectively tor 24 cents a pound
"One of these hens was two and
one-third years .old, and the other five
and one-third years old "when killed.
The younger hen laid 34.50 worth of
eggs (18 dozen reckoned at 25 cents
a dozen) from November 1912 to
November 1913. The older hen,
during her last two year of laying,
produced $8.31 worth of egg (33 H
dozen at 26 cent per dozen.)
"The yonger hen, afte: thorough
careful roasting, was said to be tender
and toothsome with flavor to match.
"In addition to tno returns ob
tained above mentioned from these
two hens was fully a pint of oil, in
value equal to a pound of lard for
shortening purposes."
