tician who defined the attitude Of
his class to the public by the aphor7
ism, N"CSive the people the laws which
they want, but make them uncon-
stitutional." German policy now pro-
poses to bestow certain blessings
upon the Polish people of Russia. but
to bestow them in such shape that
they will not benefit the Poles and
will lead to the ultimate aggrandize-
ment Of Germany. She is seeking to
create about her a number Of small
states. incapable Of Independent ex-
istence because they have not the
necessary organs, and, having cree
ated them. to swallow them, one by
one, as one eats an artichoke. leaf by
leaf. This is what she is doing in
Belgium, where she Is seeking to
set the Fleming against the Walloon,
with the foreknowledge that If such
q division be achieved there can be
no Belgium and she will ultimately
be able, as the champion Of the
Fleming or the WaIloon, as the case
may be, to annex all Of Belgium.
The Belgian example is an adj
mirable parallel, for something Of the
same ancient jealousy exists between
the Lithuanian and the Pole, who
are racially and linguistically nearer
kin than the Fleming and the Wal
loon. but have ancient grudges and
contemporary rivalries. If Germany
succeeds in creating these two sep
arate states both win be in the end
her vassals and her victims. And her
policy is the policy of both Russia
and Austria in the Balkans for half
a century; both sought to keep the
Balkan states weak and divided by
mutual jealousies, that all might in
time fall to their share. Russian
treatment OF Bulgaria and Austrian
treatment Of Serbia both rest upon

the same essential doctrine.
So much for the German policy.
Now, what does the German proposal
mean in terms of immediate fact?
First OF all, it means the creation
of a small state joining the old
Russo German frontier north OF the
Niemen and occupying all the terri
tory between the Baltic on the west,
the Gulf OF Riga on the north, and,
on the east, the line Of the Petro-
grad Warsaw railroad: finally, the
southern boundary might coEceivably
be the Niemen river. This would
mean including the Russian govern
ments OF the Courland, Kovno, wilma,
Livonia and at least portions Of
Grodno and Suwalki.
This new Lithuania would have an
area of some $4,000 square miles,
containing a population of approx
mately seven millions, less than
three millions of these being Lthu-
anians and more than one million
Poles. This would be a state ruled by
a race, itself in the minority, a state
which could not exist without the
protection Germany would supply
for price. In a word, this new state
would be a vassal OF Germany, and
German control of the Baltic shores
would extend almost to the mouth Of
the Gulf of Finland; that is. 10 the
door of Petrograd.
Now, what of German Poland?
This would be a state consisting of
Russian Poland, with upward OF
twelve millions Of people, to which
might be added a portion of Grodno
and a fraction of Volhynia, making
in all a state OF about the same size
as Lithuania, but with a population
approaching fifteen millions. But
this state is to be directly added to
Austria and Joined with Galicia, in
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-12-08

which live some five millions of Poles
and four millions Of Ruthenians. By
this move the Poles. who hold the
balance of power in Austria, would
be eliminated from Austrian politics,
German control would be assured and
the Czechs-that is. the Slavs Of
Bohemia and Moravia-would be
helpless before their German mas
tiers.
Moreover, the capacity of Austria
to rule such a state, numbering
nearly twenty-five millions, three
quarters of them Poles, is unbeliev-
able. And in her own time Germany
would follow the course she adopted
with Schleswig- Holstein, conquered
from Denmark with the aid Of Aus
tria, and finally added to Prussia by
q successful war against her former
ally. In a word, Germany would
temporarily assign to Austria terri
tory beyond Austrian capacity to
hold and ultimately take IL herself.
For Ii must be recognized that, with
out free access to the sea, this torso
of a free Poland could not escape
from economic subserviency to the
nation holding all the sea front from
Pernau to Stettin.
On the other hand, IL is beginning
to be clear that there are grave
doubts in Germany as to the advis-
ability Of giving Poland even this
semblance OF autonomy-independ
ence Is not even suggested in the
German plans-and there is a grow
ing, Junker demand that some other
and less dangerous solution be
found, some solution that will not
awaken dangerous aspirations in the
hearts OF four million Poles who are,
and in the German scheme Of things
must forever remain, German sub
jects.

MUCH SMUGGLING ACROSS
SWISS BORDERTOGERNANY
(By Assoclated Press.l

Basel, Dec. S.-Though the Swiss
border authorities have increasingly
sharpened their surveillance Of all
frontiers so as to put q stop to the
petty smuggling that has been going
on, principally into Germany, IL has
been impossible to eradicate it en-
tirely.
A recent arrest for smuggling,
whereby a dishonest official was
caught in the act shows the amusing
features that accompany the work
OF ferreting out the smugglers. For
1t was a series OF loud and violent
sneezes that led to the arrest Of the
culprit.
CantonaI Constable May, charged
with watching the smugglers, was
about to leave on his bicycle for a
tour Of a part OF the German-Swiss
border, when he began to sneeze. His
superior officer examined Mays
napsack and found in IL a quantity
Of pepper which the constable was
about to smuggle into Germany on
his tour OF inspection. In HIS pockets
was a quantity OF German money,
earned" according TO his admission
by similar previous operations.

CHAPTER xI.

The chief sent for Boroday early the
next morning.
"You've turned the trick all right"
he said, grlmly smiling.
Boroday, as immaculate as ever, set.
tied his tie.
"Yes?"
"Sit down." said the chief. "Now
that you know you're going, I suppose
you're not In any particular hurry"
Boroday ran his hand yer his silky
beard.
II should like to get to a barber"
"There is no great hurry, now" said
the chief, when Boroday was comfort
ably settled and smoking one of his
eternal Russian cigarettes, II wish you
would tell me why you disposed of
that pearl the way you did. 1t wasn't
quite up to our agreement, you know.
It was to be given to me and I was to
return it. Instead of that I had to
make a w%ild-goose chase out into the
country"
"Ahw said Boroday, Unto the coun-
try"
The chief, who was accustomed to
reading faces, watched Boroday closely.
But If there was q tightening about the
Russians eyes, it was very faint.
"You know blamed WE'LL" said the
chief peevishly, "just where I had to
go to get that thing. And you know
blamed we'll also that on Sunday after
noon I always play poker. It vas
well, inconsiderate, to say the least"
B0roday smiled.
~ am exceedingly sorry that you
were put to any trouble about it," he
said. "But as you may understand, I
have not yet een my-frends, and Of
course"
He shrugged his shoulders. The chief
was skeptical of his ignorance, never
the less. He humored what he chose
to consider Boroday's whim. First he
gave him the note which he had re-
ceived by special delivery the day be-
fore. Quick as he was, the Russian
could not quite conceal his astonish-
ment.

Huff sullenly. But he kept his place
beside her as she started back. Her
solicitude was for him, then. She
cared, after all. But it wouldn't do to
unbend too much. Elinor had treated
him with a high hand. His very pulse
ached with her nearness, but he did
not touch her.
He left her without even q hand

|"You might wish me luck" a

stood down in the road, and watched
her shadowy figure threading it's way
along the garden paths. He had q

in the earth at her feet and cry out
for her old tenderness, for her visit
ful-eyed caresses. Then, into his sus-
picious young heart crept the vision
Of Elinor's face when he had planned
his new coup.

and walked down the hill. .s
