When, about ten years ago, the Russian govern
ment deprived the Poles of their right to buy
real estate the Germans began to meddle in
Poland, and managed to get finger in all the in-
ternal affairs of the country. The Germans came
in great numbers and bought up all the land
formerly owned by Poles. There are now over
a hundred thousand German landowners in
Poland, and the number is constantly increas-
ing. They are established even in the furthest
parts, as Volbynia. They have everywhere got
under control the most lucrative properly in the
kingdom.
II have not the slightest doubt that the day
will soon come when the Russians bitter autip-
athy to Germans, especially Polish Germans
will develop into a general anti-Teutonic move

sure to involve bloodshed. Germany is almost

all South American traffic will go over

satisfactorily. There will be no change of rates
unless the traffic be so large to interfere with

1t is curious coincidence, that on the opening
