from an epidemic of spy mania
The city of Kieff literally swarms with
spies, counter-spies, and agents provo

western frontier are crowded with Sc

That is to say, they are pro forma"

form to recognize an acquaintance IL one
chances to meet him when he obviously
wishes to be considered disguised
The railway personnel has to a con-
siderable extent, become a volunteer and
amateur detective force, and its extra
ordinary zeal not infrequently leads it
into ridiculous countretemps. On the
Austrian (Galician) side of the frontier

What is at once the most absured and

what irresponsible eldest son OF the
Kaiser looks like developing into leader
Of German fashion. II his Teutonic sub
jects can muster up courage to keep pace
with his eccentricities. The story is told
here that the recalcitrant heir to the
throne has Just done something which
has won the approval OF his august
father. He has invented a new collar
stud which effectuaIly eliminates all bad
language from the morning toilet.
And now learn that the crown prince
has had the temerity to defy his father,
who evidently wanted to garb the royal
youth after the latest Partisan mode. II
is well known that he shares his fathers
passion for uniforms. The only civil
dress he affects Is a dinner jacket. Re
Gently he ordered his tailor to make one
with MORE silk facings and silk elastic
buttons to keep the jacket half-buttoned.
The tailor ventured to remark that this
was no longer fashionable, showing HIM
the latest Paris fashions.
Il don't want Paris fashions, and /
don't want Paris buttons" said the
prince.
The tailor hastily hid the fashion plate.
and the prince appeared in the dinner
jacket, which makes the tailor vince
every time he thinks of II. and the
princes friends every time they see II.
There is genuine alarm here at the
growing wealth and prosperity OF the
Polish population in Prussian territory,
as a parliamentary paper
just issued shows how costly has been
the ineffective Prussian policy towards
the Poles According to the figures given
the government in twenty-seven years
has spent no less than S2f5, 900 900 in its
attempts 10 provide a Prussian rather
than a Polish ownership OF land. The
figures for the last year are fluminat-
ing in this respect. In the course OF
twelve months the so-called colonizing
committee bought no fewer than thirty
seven estates and twenty-five smaller
properties, 1000 acres In all. On this
land, however. scarcely a quarter was
owned by Poles, SO that although SIS, 900
OF government money went into Polish
hands the land bought only amounted to
1850 acres. This is far below the aver
age since the proportion has hitherto
been more than one-third. This fact Is
significant, since It shows the increased
prosperity Of the Polish agriculturists

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. May "A year ago, when
President Poincare paid a state visit to
England, he inaugurated an interchange
of hospitality which has spread through
out Europe. Emperors, kings, and presi-
idents are now planning to pay calls on
their European neighbors and IL Is now
practically decided that the Gar Of all
the Russias shall honor London with his
presence in the not far distant future.
Following so closely upon the visit
of King George and Queen Mary to
France and of the King and Queen Of
Denmark to England. the Cars pro-
posed trip to Great Britain is regarded
as an event OF the highest political sig
nificance. Moreover. President Poincare
Is goinA TO St Petersburg. and this visit
will be Returned by the Gar in the fall
or early next year.
These visits are calculated TO weld the
chain OF the triple entente more securely
together. There is also reason for the
belief that King George will include Vi
emma in his itinerary.

introducing the Gar to all her old
friends here.
Since those happy days. however, the
lives Of the royal couple have been
clouded by the constant dread of assassi-

fected the health of the Czarina- The

they had at Cowles in 1909. A splendid
system Of checking foreign arrivals is
now in force in this country
The visits Of the King and Gar do not
portend the transformation OF the triple
entente into a triple alliance. The un-
derstandlng between the three countries
is so cordial that an alliance becomes a
mere question Of diplomatic formula. As
to the much discussed question of a
treaty OF alliance insuring naval and
military help. France Is convinced that.
with or without treaty, so long as she
is in the right. and not the aggressors,
effective British support would be forth
coming.
Changing It's Methods.
Under Sir Edward Grey's guidance the
triple entente is Transforming not its con-
stitution but its methods.
The British navy Is regarded as a su-
preme factor on sea. France Is stronger
since the three-year-army-se bill,
and Russia has increased her forces as
well as her readiness, and il now ready
TO intervene in case OF conflict. The
triple entente will now be able to make
Its decision prevail. and European prob
lens OF the utmost gravity are on the
threshold OF being solved. Everything
points to the fact that the visit Of the
King to the Continent Is as much a busi-
ness meeting Of the triple entente as a
OF ten years Of the entente
cordiale. and therein lies its Importance
for the future peace OF Europe.
