Berlin. Ger. April 20.-Emperor
william visited Cuxhaven before leav-
ing for Corfu and held conferences
there with high naval oIuccrs. and
he has now decided to establish a
war harb0r there. Al present the 0niy
naval harbor on the North Sea IS W
helmshaveu, which IS not Cat4--I
enough 10 accommodate more Nesse5s
than are COMPRISED in the first sQuaU-
ron As II has Just been decided 70
transfer the big new cruiser NOn -
Tam" and several others from t--S
Baltic to the North Sea, it becomes, nee
tssorv to increase the harDor AaclA- ei0
on that coast Of Germany +
The change is dictated by the IaCt
that Britain has the larger part %
its naval strength in the Norm itI'
and it has come to be an axiom III
German naval men and laymen q -
that the German navy VIII Illo - 100
use in that sea if 1t should ever o0i--9
into action.

Costly Struggle
T+fsa costly and unpromising strug-
gle that Prussia is waging 10 convert
the Polish province into German terri
tory 1t has cost the government not
lace than SIS 900 for every German IaIn-
iIv brought into the two provinces, ard
the Generalization Of the Polish popu-
Iatiou is making no progress what
eyer Notwithstanding the settlement OF
Germans in the two provinces from
r+ber rar+s IF the country. This con-
clusion is warranted by the annual
report lust published Of the settlement
commission, the public board naEins
charge Of the work OF puylng r OLlsLL
A. TO Germans. From a total Of 30
500 acres Of land bought in 1905 the
purchases Of the commission dropped
last year to only 2210l6 acres, ana
- This latter amount only 1870 acres
we're bought from Polish owners. All
the rest was bought from Germans
The total cost Of the governments
land purchases since the year 1856,
-T-J1er the commission began its work,
has been above S90,OO0,00O During
+bis Derfod 1850 families, consisting
of al 200 persons, have been settled

--5ssion More than one-fOurth Of these
families, however, were already living
n the two provinces. Making an al
I0wance for this fact II appears that
The number Of German families brought
~ v-sg only 1925, and this number in
.cIudes nearly {, 900 families Of Germans
from Russia Many people think that
the success Of the commission has been
very disappointing considering the
