A distinguished Englishman made
a remark some days ago that the
statesmen Of Russia might seriously
consider. 1t was that Poland is likely
to give her masters serious trouble
and he intimated that Germany was

political party who give the govern.
ment great concern. Poland has their
sympathy in her longing for liberty
and socialistic ideas have taken strong
hold on Poland, in which there are i'm

STA will require all the money it is
proposed to put in a navy to pay the
expense of reform in Poland, in Fin
