In Prussian Poland


 One cannot forget that only 25 years ago the Prussian government established a royal colonization commission, with in- structions to buy up Polish territory and resell it to German colonists. This com mission was endowed to the. extent of a milliard of marks (e55O ooO,00O). As the Poles very naturally resisted this attempt to deprive them of the land they have titled and inhabited since the beginning of history, two anti-Polish bills were passed through the Prussian Diet. One prohib- tied the Poles from building houses, even on their own estates, without permission of the authorities (often refusedD; the other invested the colonization commits sion with the right to appropriate any Polish land owner, by force. if necessary explanation or excuse.
 In spite of European indignation in spite of the anger of the German peO- pie themselves, whose deputies to the im- perial Parliament passed vote of cen- sure-for the first time in the history of the German constitution--on the chancel- Tor. Bethmann- Holweck, at the very mo- ment when this law was brought into op- eration-in spite of a tremendous out burst of popular feeling the government persisted in their anti-Polish policy, and were going even to extreme measures of injustice and repression. It is worthy of note that such measures as the Russians now proposed had never before been in- troduced in civilized countries even in time of warl

BRITISH SOLDIERS ARE VERY WASTEFUL Men Get an Excessive Sup ply Both of Bully Beef
 and Cartridges


 London, December 2.-(Special )-British soldiers in and about the trenches are careless and wasteful both of ammuni- tion and bully beef" as 'corned beef' is known here. This statement has the authority of John Hodge, M. P, who has just returned from a visit to the troops in France. He was informed, he said, that thousands of tins of beef and mill lions of rifle cartridges were lying about the trenches and trampled into the mud.
 Wastage, MT. Hodge found, was in some cases checked by the officers in charge The trouble is, the men get an excessive amount of meat-12 ounces-in their daily ration. No account is taken of casual ties or of the sick. So the tins lie around the trenches, fall into the bottom and get stepped on. Ultimately they are buried in the trench mud. This is also the fate of the cartridges left behind by the men when relieved. In some cases. the officer of the relieving party would ascertain how many rounds have been served out and how many fired so as to keep check on this amount lost But these officers, according to MT. Hodge, arc in a minority.
 The same complaints as to wastage have been made against the troops in the English training camps. Here the blame is laid to overabundant rations and the

Remarkable Christmas Tree

From the Washington Star.
 Here is novel idea for a Christmas tree suggested by a writer in the Decem- Der issue of the Woman's Home Com panion:
 Tt is not an idea that can be utilized everywhere" she says, it belongs to the green oak of the southern Christmas or the evergreen of the north.
 Last year an electrician was set to work wiring the oak not strinsing the tiny bulbs in the usual artificial festoons, but setting them more irregularly along the outermost twigs, where they were partially hidden by clumps of leaves. Our active man-of-all-work fastened the gifts about the branches. We did not use the old ornaments of the former Christmases, they seemed tawdry and trifiing against the immensity of the oak. Instead the tree bore actual fruit, oranges, punches of bananas. pineapples. cleaning yellow among the leaves; grapes, red apples, bound to small stems; gay bags of candy and nuts swinging in unsuspected places.
 Packages lurlled under limbs and swung in shadows. It seemed to us, watching in the shadows, that the charm of the out-of-doors. the freedom of the open sky, the touch of mystery night lays upon all things, served to heighten and add zest to our own as well as their Christmas joy"

PROTECTED BRITISH
 WOMEN IN GERMANY
Englishwomen Feel Crate full to the Crown Princess
 Lady-in-Waiting

Berlin, December Flew indeed are the German names whose mention arouses feelings of gratitude in England today, but that of the Countess Cecile von Key serlingk is undoubtedly one. The coun- tess. who is lady-in-waiting to the Grown Princess of Germany, and one of the latters most intimate friends. is a really beautiful woman, not at all of the usual Teutonic type.
 An Englishwoman who was in Berlin at the outbreak of the war has described the "Grafin's'' kindness both to her and to others of her countrywomen who were here at the time. The feeling against the British was then, of course, intense, and many Englishwomen found their position decidedly unpleasant, not to say perilous. The Grafin von Keyserlingk found homes for several of them who could not leave Berlin at the time either because they had no money or for other reasons, at tho homes of her own intimate friends. In several cases the Grafin Cecile herself ad- yanced money to Englishwomen. A case was brought under her notice of an Eng fish girl who desired to leave Berlin and return to England at once as her father was very ill, but the girl had no money, and even if she had had, she was too terrified at the prospect of journey through Germany to the Dutch frontier and all that such journey meant to any Englishman or woman at that time, to face it by herself. The Grafin Cecile not only advanced the girl the money she required, but escorted her on part of the journey, and then put her in charge of two German women who were going to the front as Red Cross nurses, and one of whom saw the English girl to the from tiers. The Grafin Cecile became known

DUCHESS ID GREET
 NURSES HEREAF TER
Distinguished Committee Is Formed to Entertain
 Nurses

London, December 5-(Special )-There will be a real duchess hereafter, as well as other title-bearers, to extend the glad hand to nurses from Canada, the United States and elsewhere, when they arrive in this country on their way to the bat tlefields of Europe A distinguished com mittee has just been formed for the pur- pose of welcoming and entertaining these ministering angels and of this commit tee Adeline, Duchess of Bedford, is the chairwoman. She is now the Dowager Duchess of Bedford and is not the mother-in-law, but a sister-in-law of the present duke, who owns such a vast and valuable slice of London.
 Practically all the historic Bloomsbury district of the metropolis, as many trav- cling Americans who have put up at boarding houses there have discovered, belongs to the duke, as witness the names of the streets and squares there-Bedford sauare, Bedford anc Upper Bedford place, Bedford row, Tavfstock place (an- other of the dukes titles), etc. Until re- gently, too, the duke owned all of Covent Garden market, as well as the sites or Drury Lane theatre, and the Royal Opera house at Covent Garden, but he disposed of this property to H. Mallaby Deely, M P, who, in turn is now supposed to nave sold it to somebody else.
 Adeline, Duchess of Bedford, was WId- owed some P years ago, and since then has spent most of her time in doing good and helping the poor and sutterIns in a thousand ways, though she is not as well known in the field of endeavor as her elder sister, Lady Henry Somerset. Nor, in fact, as her gifted successor in the title, the reigning duchess. who, an enthusiastic student of natural history, has, at Woburn castle. one of the fir@st private ZOOS in England, who has written several books, and is, amongst many other things, an expert skater.
 Adeline, Duchess of Bedford, makes her home at beautiful Woodside, near Chen ies, in Bucking hamshire, where she has Sir George Alexander, the actor-manager, as a near neighbor. She makes a hobby of flowers and gardening and brought home with her from Australia, a few years ago, some rare specimens in the way of plants. At Woodside the gardens are mostly planned by herself, and ex- press the most original ideas. The rose garden embowered and garlanded with choice blooms of every color, is a lovely sight. There is an ornamental pond, too, where water lilies and grasses flourish and in which water fowls make their home. With view to added decorative ness, white pigeons have a halcyon time at Woodside, where they are housed and pampered by the chateIaine. Nowadays, however, the duchess thinks of little but war charities, like her sisters of every class.

 From the moment of welcoming to the speeding of the parting guests the seventeenth convention held at Hunts vile was one continual round of pleasure. The meetings were handled in such masterly manner that the busi- ness, so full of interest, was not all lowed to drag, and while most careful consideration was given to each mat ter and was dispatched each day to enable the delegates to enjoy the so- cial courtesies extended by the "Twiek- enham Town" chapter.

 When the master of ceremonies an- nounced at the station that he was married man and knew what wom- ans trunk meant to her, all knew that they were in safe hands. One lady de- claned that she had never seen more perfect arrangements, that within 10 minutes after she had reached the home of her hosts her trunk was in her room, and it was so throughout the convention-everyt to the minutest detail, had been thought out.
 The cordial reception at the station was only the beginning of the delight full things to follow
