DRIVING THE POLES
FROM NATIVE LAND
Prussian Government Enters
Upon a Policy of Absolute
Repatriation
WEAKENS THE FRONTIER
THE FRONTIER

BERLIN. Nov. 10.
An important and most animated de-
bate on the policy Of the government
toward the Poles occupied the Prussian
lower chamber yesterday and the day
before.
II Is the intention OF the government
to expropriace certain Polish landowners
in the province OF Posea. 10 take COM
pulsoriiy at a valuation some $1,000 acres
of land from Polish proprietors. and to
parcel il out among German settlers.
Should this policy prove successful it
would be followed by further expropri-
atoms Of q compulsory character.
For the last twenty years, although
nearly so5o 000 90 have been spent In buy
ing Polish estates. with the object OF
strengthening the German element in
the eastern provinces, the situation has
not been changed: in fact. at present the
Poles are numerically stronger than ever.
and their landed possessions have not d.
minished. Determined to deal a more
severe blow than ever. the government
has at last decided on appropriation.
The event OF the two days debate was
the speech Of Count Praschma, a great
landowner Of Silesia and a member OF
the Clerical party. He condemned root
and branch the policy OF the government,
and In a speech which was remarkable
he alluded to the dangers which the gov
eminent was running.
Two OF his points were most carefully
elaborated. By driving the Poles from
the land. the government was compelling
them to seek refuge in the cities, where
they would fall a ready prey to socialist!c
ag-tators and swell the already vast num-
Der OF those who hated Prussian rule.
Further. az the present time. when for
e!gn affairs looked so gloomy. 1t was the
duty OF the government to see that their
borders Were inhabited by men who were
at least friendly and united In the na-
tioaal cause. In prosecuting the Poles.
ne said, they were weakening their east
ern frontier and causing delight to all
the enemies Of Germany in foreign coun-
tries.
Count Praschna implored the govern
ment TO think twice before It committed
itself to a policy which could only have
disastrous consequences.
The speech made a profound impression
on the moderate sections Of the house;
but it will scarcely stay the hand OF the
government in its peculiarly weak and
Saort-sighted policy.

THIEVES ON A LINER
LOOT MANY CABINS
Trailed by Passengers They Are
Captured and Put in Irons
by Captain
DUMPED ON BRITISH SHIP
DUMPED ON BRITISH SHIP

LISBON. Nov. 1s.
Thieves have been active recently on
board steamers voyasinE down the Brazil
ian coast. and the experiences Of the Brit
ish Royal Mali company's ship Amazon
on her last homeward voyage probably
supply the explanation.
A few hours after the Amazon left
Santos q man wearing . startling gray
suit was seen to enter several Of the first
class cabins as IL he was looking for his
own.
When the passengers went down to tea
one Of them said. "A man came into my
cabin while was resting. As though;
he looked rather a suspicious character
followed him to another cabin belonging
to a friend OF mine. and found him put
ting his hand into the wardrobe. asked
him what he was doing. whereup he fed.
a man came into my cabin. too" said
another passenger. Il wonder II 1t was
the same man.
The news caused general excitement on
board. and inquiries showed that guam
thy OF money and 1eweiry had been
stolen.
The captain ordered a special watch to
be KEEP. at night Despite this one OF
the stewardesses was aroused by man
entering the cabin. Her screams gave
the alarm, and an individual in pajamas
vas sighted and chased. He vas run
down in the third-class quarters. wnere
friend OF his was found to be in posses
sion Of the stolen property.
1t was ttsa discovered that the two
men were prisoners recently discharge
from San Pau.o Jail. and put On board
the ship at Santos without any warning
to the captain. TWO other ex-prisoners
had also peen put on board at Santos.
The authorities At Rio JaneirO refused
to accep; the men, and they had 10 be
"a Ken TO Lisbon. 1ney were kept In
irons. and were continually watched dl--
ing the voyage. Every one in the ship
was relieved when the last man walked
OF the anyway at Lisbon.
