ute control Of the German-Americar

buying up more stock. so that within
short time comparatively few shares

This fact, however, no longer causes
any u~neasiness, as IL would have done
= few years ago, when even the govern
ment was scared at the prospect Of tho
Standard oil company establishing q
monopoly IN this country.
AS matters stand today n STANDARD
Oil monopoly Is no longer possible. as
new wells are being found Ia Rou'

used in Germany ONE from that coun.
try as well as from Austria n Rus

Germany 70 import oil from Russia fan

diplomacy.
Gold in Prussia.
Cold In paying quantities has been
found in the Biles Valley In Prussia
and a company is being formed TO ex-
tract the gold from the sand in which
Il is found.
Analyses have SNOWY that every ton
OF sand contains o. average about
Ten grams of gold, which is easily ex-
tracted by the cyanide method.
IL has, by the way, been known for
many years that there was gold In the
sand of the Rliesranahaeh and nearly
four hundred years ago IL was tried to
wash IL out, but with the primitive
mtethuds OF that time the work did not
pay and was given up.
Russia's Internal Dangers.
Prince Uchtomski. the Russian noble
man and friend OF the car. whom ]
saw today, said In regard TO the inner
political condition In Russia and the
danger Of a revolution:
ut would be foolish to try to deny
that there Is much dissatisfaction In
Russia, but this dissatisfaction Is no
strong enough to, bring about any
change in the existing regime.
There are thousands of intelligent
ard well meaning Russians who would
bring any sacrifice, yes even sacrifice
their lives to freedom. but there will be
no revolution In Russia.
The country IS too SpaTseiy popu-
Hated for that A thousand Cossacks
arR ready to uppres every liberty-lov-
ing man who dares attempt to attack
tle present system.
THE only revolution which could he
dangerous to Russia would be a revolu-
tlon 81 the ~peasantry, and should Rus
sia be defeated In the present war the
possibility OF a revolution of this kind
is not excluded, but IL would then not
he directed against he government, but
against the educated and property-own-
ing classes. whom they would extermin-
ate, as ii Is a hundred to n that the
police would take sides with h revo-
l~utionists.
Dissatisfaction Very Strong.
THAT the dissatisfaction with the
present regime is now stronger than
eve probably comes from the fact that
Gar Nicholas Is the chief malcontent,
who would give his last drop OF blood
tG help his people.
'.He has the most earnest desire to
know all about the condition OF his SUBJ
Jects. but the Camarilla. every member
of which thinks only OF his W rome
fiun and advancement. no matter what
msans he employs. keeps all informa-
ttion away from the car.
And still, quite often news OF terri
bic abuses reaches his ears, and just
punishment fs melted out to the of
tenders: but what can one man do
against a thousand, especially when
