the best hotel was the hotel patronized l by the Poles. To have gone there
 would have been to declare ourselves
 anti-German and pro-Polish, but we were warned in time The castle has a large throne room and ballroom; in
 the hall is a stuffed aurochs killed by f the emperor The aurochs is a species of buffalo greatly resembling those which used to roam our western prair- ies The breed has been preserved on certain great estates in eastern Ger many and in the hunting forests of i the czar in the neighborhood of War saw.
 | Some of the Poles told me that at the first attempt to give a court ball in this new castle the Polish population in the street threw ink through the carriage windows on the dresses of the ] ladies going to the ball and thus made it failure. The chapel of the castle l is very beautiful and is a great credit to the emperors taste as an architect While being shown through the en- peror's private apartment in this cas- l tie. I noticed a saddle on sort of ele- vated stool in front of d desk I asked 1 the guide what this was for; he told me that the emperor, when working always sits in saddle
 In Posen is a book store; the pro- l prietor brought out for me a number of 1 books caricaturing the German rule of | Alsace- Lorraine It is curious that a community of interest should make a ! market for these books in Polish Posen
 Although not as well advertised, the | Polish question is as acute as that of Alsace- Lorraine
 Schleswig HoIstein and the Danes After it's successful war in 1866
 against Austria, Bavaria, Saxony,
 Baden, Hanover, etc, Prussia became l possessed of the two duchies of Schles wig-Holstein. which are to the south
 of Denmark on the Jutland peninsula.
 Here strangely enough. there is a l Danish question. A number of Danes
 inhabit these duchies and have been ir | ritated by the Prussian officials and
 otflcers into preserving their national | O..
 restrictions have been made. the very
 existence of which intensifies the hatred and prevents the assimilation | or these Danes. For instance. Amund | sen, the Arctic explorer, was forbidden
 to lecture in Danish in these duchies during the winter of 1913-14, and there were regulations enforced preventing | than in Danish people from assembling in a
 hotel as well as regulations against the employment of Danish servants,
 In 1866, after it's successful war l Prussia wiped out the old Kingdom of Hanover and drove it's king into exile
 in Austria. Today there is still a partv
 of protest against this aggression. The
 Kaiser believes. however, that the ghost or the claim of the kings of Hanover was laid when he married his only daughter to the heir of the House of
 Hanover and gave the young pair inc
 vacant Duchy of Brunswick. That this
 young man will inherit the great Guelph. treasure was no drawbacl, to | the match in the eyes of those in Rer. lin.
 There is hatred of Prussia in otbar
 parts of Germany, but coupled with so
 much fear that it will never take prac. | tical shape
 In Bavaria, for example. even the
 comic newspapers have for years ridi-
 cuied the Prussians and the house of | Hohenzollern. The smashing defeat oy Prussia of Austria and the allied
 German states, Bavaria Saxony. Hesse
 Hanover, etc, in 1866, and the growth of
 Prussianism since then in all of these i countries keep the people from any overt act. It is a question. perhaps. as 6
 to how these countries, especially Ra . varia, would act in case of the utter de-
 feat Of Germany But at present they must be counted on only as faithful
 servants. in military way of the Ger
 man emperor.
