 Berlin. November 5-tSpeeial.) )--Sla tistics just published here show that tariff wars are almost expensive as real ones and that the people of Ger many have every reason to rejoice at the provisional agreement which put an end to the long tariff war between Germany and Canada.
 The tarir war ceased at the end of February and the new provincial agreement came into effect on March 1. During the first six months it brought about an increase of AS per cent of German exports to Canada; on the other hand, Canadian exports to Germany increased by 45 per cent. Ger man iron manufacturers profited more than any other class by the cessation of the war. for exports of some kinds of German hardware increased by from 300 to 400 per cent German textile in- dustries also reaped rich harvest. The exports of stockings doubled and those of cloths, carpets and gloves in- creased very considerably. German chemicals. glass. porcelain and toy manufacturers all shared in the in- creased trade. ef
 This remarkable advance in commercial relations with Canada causes great sat isfaction here It is pointed out that Germany would find a still more favor able market in Canada if her products could be placed an equality with those of Great Britain in the matter of tariff duties. Germany's efforts will now be directed toward extending the present provisional whereby the present differen- tation in favor Of Great Britain will be neutralized.
 Plus x has issued instructions to the papal nuncio of Munich to enforce se- we're measures of suppression against modernism in German-speakng countries. Pope Plus deplores the strides made by the movement among the Catholic laity of Austria-Hungary and Germany, and explicitly condemns Catholic associations constituted on broad religious basis as recently advocated by Cardinal Fisch- CT of Cologne in opposition to Cardinal Kopp.
 The Pope in supporting the latter, for bids the formation of any other than rigidly sectarian societies. He enjoins that no doctorates in theology shall henceforth be recognized in cases where the studies are not conducted on the scholastic system.
 All lectures of Catholic professors must be submitted to ecclesiastical cen- sorships before delivery. Moreover, ev- cry Catholic newspaper asking to be recognized must submit its intended contents to the censor. while all Cath olic journalists are required to take the same oath of repudla ton of mod ernistic ideas which the pontiff has recently prescribed for the seminary and university professor.
 Either the chief of the Berlin police, Herr Won Jagow himself, or what is more likely the Kaiser, must have come to the conclusion that the ways of the German police in handing disorderly crowds are not quite up-to- date, for Herr Won Jagow, shortly after his in- glorious controversy with the foreign newspaper correspondents quietly slipped away and went to England to study English police methods. He took with him the good wishes of "Vor- waerts". the principal socialist paper here, which at the same time expressed a fear that the trip would not prove very profitable. Previous police chiefs, it Is said, have also studied London methods, but the Moabit riots showed they had learned nothing.
 Former President von Berries, whose speciality was traffic, after being shown couple of London policemen regulat- ing the traffic at the bank in the busiest hours of the day, came back and told his friends that Scotland Yard had staged a play to take him in, but it had not succeeded. He thought the enormous stream of cabs and omni- busses was a faked arrangement. What the Prussian police most require to learn is the facility with which an Eng

 The difficulties under which Zionist movement in Russia propagate their ideals have just been accentuated by two significant events. The spiritual head of the Jews in Krementchug (province of Boltavae, Rabbi Friedenburg, after satisfactorily discharging his office for IS years. was. recently reelected byt his community for another two years As the position is held under the govern nent, the ratification of the governor of Platavaf was necessary, but the latter refused to grant it on the grounds that Rabbi Friedenburg had taken part in the Zionist congress at Hamburg last De- cember.
 The Jewish community. needless of this decision, reelected Rabbi Friedenburg again, but this time the governor replied by banishing the pastor from the province of Poltava for two years. The severity of this order Is all the more remarkable az the only alleged delinquency on the part of the rabbi was that he took part fin the last Zionist congress. But some 120 other Russian Jews were also present at this congress, without having been penal- ised for displaying their sympathy with the Zionist movement. It is believed that Rabbi Friedenburg will proceed to St. Petersburg to petition for revocation Of the decree against him.
 The other incident is the confiscation of the latest number of the central or gan of the Zionist organization in Rus sia- the "Rassviet, on account of a news paragraph dealing with the recent duma election at Odessa The editor has been summoned flor indictment to overthrow the existing order of government
 Episodes such as these made it exceed ingiy difficult for the Zionists of Russia to extend their organization, and they are compelled to carry on most of their work in secret. The present position is rather disqueting, as when the Zionist president, Herr Wolffsohn, visited St. Pe- tersburg more than two years ago he re- ceived assurances from the premier. M. stolypin, that the adherents of the Jew fsh nationalist movement would not be molested.
