Another correspondent writes As a humble student of things linguistic I claim sone knowledge of that peculiarly fascinating lingo called pidgin-English, and although I am in thorough accord with the idea of cultivating the King's English in our intercourse with our Chinese friends, a great many of whom possess a wonderfully correct knowledge of the pure language, I foresee the difficulty, if not the impossibility, of abolishing the hybrid language of which we have heard so much of late. Besides, when spoken by a master it has peculiar charm of jesy and fancy, to a degres incomparable with any other language with which I am acquainted. It is for

Seum cuique! So with your Majesty thinks the German people, and not lonst the citizens of the lansa towns which, when they were stil! free cities of the Holy Roman Empire. were over nyal to the Emperor.

The speaker remarked that in the 16th contury the Dutch called German traders Sea Germans" as distinguished from "High Germans. To-day they were all in a certain sense "Sea Gerainns," for they all had their joy in the sea and in the navy and in Germany's colonial pos-

sessions.

In his reply the Emperor warmly thanked the Burgomaster for his speech flaming with patriotism," which, he was sure, had carried them all away. His Majesty proceeded:-

We have seen from your sketch how thrusghout the centuries the history of our Empire and people, although in the main a Continental Empire and people, has yet ever been connected with the sea and the water and has more or less been influenced thereby, As you point- ed out, all that was lacking was the union of the national forces. That fine. and interesting and for a lime power- ful growth, the Hansa, was doomed to pass away because it lacked the backing of Imperial power. Through the crea tion of the Empire under my grand- father all that has changed and the Germ trader can now go quietly along his way not under a foreign flag. but under lus own ag, and he can strain all his abilities to the full and be sure that where it is necessary the protection of the Empire is at his back. That is possible only when all our forces are gathered together under our German Rug.

You will understand why I have practised reserve in regard to the spreading of the German flag where, perhaps, it was wished and desired by many a one.

So far as the future is concerned, Mr. Foster King says an extension of the line of past development indicates that sixty years hence vessels of poft, by 11eft. will be the largest built for service on the great passenger routes to India, South Africa, and Australia, as compared with the probable 1,100ft. by 128it, and the possible 1,800ft. by 220ft. of the biggest Atlantic ship.

All ocean boats, whether passenger, cargo, or both, with the exception of the very large transatlantic liners, will be 50 per cent. longer and .00 per cent. broader in 1970 thun they are to-day.

It, therefore, seems probable that those responsible for maritime canals and harbours will have to face the problem of continuous expansion.
