GOTHAM SOCIETY GL0ATS AT
TOWN TOPICS ON THE RACK
By Katherine Leckie.

NEW YORK, Feb. Poor, long
suffering fashionable society, which
has considered that it has been
malinged, criticised and ridiculed
for long years at the hands OF
Town Topics, is finally having it's
innings. For a paragraph in Col
lier's Weekly rejecting upon his
connection with Town Topics, JUS
tice Jos. NJ. Deuel. secured an in
dictment against Norman Hapgood
editorial writer of Golfers, whose
trial at once put Deuel. and Editor

they have been toasted and roasted

BIG GAIN IN
POPULATION

1t is stated by n. B. Hutchins on,
manager of the Polk Directory
company, that Spokane has at the
present time a population of So
S53. This is a gain of 1853 dur
ing the past year. If the increase
for the next five years is the same
as the past year, the $50, 600 club
need not work any longer. If the
increase of the population is 1853
for the next five years, Spokane
will have exactly 144,47 people
here.

Special Correspondence of The
Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO. Feb. l. - To
Germany, Brazil owes about one
third of her external national debt
of 5000. 900 600; Germany has three
steamship lines plying to Brazilian
ports, placing the predominance OF
the trans Atlantic trade in German
hands.
Germany is negotiating for the
control of the Amazon river com
merce. which will lodge the com
mand of internal trade in her
hands. Germany controls CONNER
cial houses, factories, plantations
and industrial works generally. in
innumerable parts Of the country.
German capital in excess of $780,
100000 is invested in various Bra
lillian enterprises. from banking and
railways to agriculture.
The euarantors for the safety Of
this money are the warships of
Germany.
Germans know that they will not
be deserted by the kaiser if trou,
Bile ever comes. and they therefore
have no hesitation in placing their
gold in the Latin republic and leav-
ing it there TO work for them.
Rivalry among the big German
companies interested in Brazilian
ventures does not exist They are
encouraged by the far seeing po-
litical guides in Berlin 10 divide
the country into various spheres
of influence. and there is in con-
sequence an absence of COMPETE
ton among the Germans them
selves. They reserve all their en-
ergies for fighting the other for
eigners in Brazil and when neces.
sary they work together for the
good Of German interests
For instance, the three shipping
companies that ply between Brazil
ian and German ports. the Nortl
German Lloyd, the Hamburg Amer
lean and the Hamburg South Am
erican, have divided the coast o
Brazil into three sections, and eacl
company confines itself TO its owl
district. This and other similar CO
operative activities by the Germans
lead to a belief that the kaiser
guiding hand is directing the vari
Gus TeutOnic movements in Brazil
and that he is using them all a
pawns in his great game to cal
check at last to the Monroe doc
trine.

and brainiest people in Brazil

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-02-01

The economic tie not only strong
ly binds Brazil to Germany, but
also is causing Germany to lean
with increasing weight on Brazil.
The raw material for innumer-
able industries is in Brazil, and
Germany is dreaming of the dawn
of a day when it will be gathered
in the South American republic by
Germans and sent to Germany for
use at home, thus emancipating
the Teutons from any further de-
pendence on foreign powers for
their economic we'll being.
