Taking the Polish lands of the old Teutonic order, Prussia has treated them with utter mediaevalism The Polish language. schools. laws and in- stitutions. all have come under her ban. She has spent more than $10o.- 900. 900 buying Polish lands at forced
 ale to plant German colonists. Prince von Bullow in Imperial Germany" calls the eastern provinces the New Germany, and speaks of the repres- sion as necessary.
 Any plan for reuniting Poland will meet the difficulty that the Poles are much stronger in West Prussia than in East Prussia; that Danzig is their natural port. and that any Po- land delimlted by race and speech will leave many people of German speech and race isolated about Konigsberg.

BIDDING FOR POLAND.

Weighing the proposals of the rival alliances for their relief, the Poles will be governed largely by their past treatment under the partition.
 They have fared best under Austria, which will have little power over their future. If between Prussia and Rus sia the former has become more hate full, it is mainly because of her great CT efficiency in harshness.
 Taking oath as king of Poland in 1856, Alexander II. of Russia warned the Poles: No dreams, gentlemen" The revolt of 1861 led to the extinc- tion of the kingdom in 1863 and a more rigorous rule. The kingdom is there- fore remembered by the older Poles, who have forgotten how fimsy a thing it was.

SAXON NO LONGER.

Whatever else the European war shall accomplish. 1t Is to result in a complete divorcement from English customs and ideals, and even nomen- clature. of everything German, or re- motely German.
 Just now there is demand m the English press, for taking the hyphen out of Anglo Saxon" and dropping the latter name. Anglo" is thought comprehensive enough without the "Saxon," considering the fact that Saxon regiments are now in the trenches, facing British soldiers.
 It is contended that the Saxon race in the British isles has long ceased to exist, and that the term is distateful to a Scot, a Welshman or an Irishman. These Celtic races, think several gen. tlemen of the press, have furnished the enterprise, the imagination and ideal- ism that built the British empire. If there isc to be any hyphen, the need of which is admittedly not pressing. it should be used in the term Anglo Celt."
 However, it Is net so important tc England what it's blend shall be called as is the quality of it's manhood. The blend, under the national stress. is acquitting itself creditably. Whatever it may be termed, it is much tie same blend as we have here ii. the United States and the generic tenn "Briton'' or American" should be quite broad enough and flexible enough to cover either nationality.-P.-I

The transporta- ton field has in like manner been organized. Also, work has already been started on the construction of vessels as part of the shipping pro- gram.
 The food question, too, is rapidly passing from the realm of pubic dis cussion to that Of real official action. Promising developments of U boat control have been taking place and the country has maintained an even keel ajusting itself to war conditions without any serious shock to business conditions. The government has an- nounced that 1t is now ready to as- sure the people that all the rifles and ammunition, needed will be in readi- ness for the American troops as fast as they are enlisted and prepared for foreign service.

kiddies their presents. Junior was old

The Kaiser as Seen
by American Novelist
(Medford Mail Tribune)

Twenty-nine years ago, Harold Fred
eric, famous American novelist of the
period, was the Berlin correspondent of
the New York Times. The old German
emperor, William the First, had recent
| ly died. His son, Friedrich William, an
able man with liberal tendencies and
an English wife, lay dying of cancer.
The young crown prince, destined to
| be William the Second, was impatiently
waiting for the time he should mount
the throne. All the world was wonder
| ing what manner of man he was ana
what he would do to the peace of
Europe.
Frederic sent his paper long pen
picture which not only showed William
as he was, with singular clarity, show
ed just what menace he was to the
world.
| Note this message:
"You will look into the face Of this
young Hohenzollern and remember with
wondering reservations the malignant
tales which have been told of his in
ner nature by those who knew it best.
Apparently all the women-at least all
the English women-who have had to
do with the bringing up of Prince Will
liam hold him in horror and detestatlon.
Their dislike for him is based on a
general conception of his character.
This view is that he is utterly cold,
entirely selfish, wantonly cruel; a
young man without conscience or COM
passion or any softening virtues what
ever. That he has great abilities they
all admit, but they stop there. Heart
he has none upon their reckoning.
civilian is very deeply and thor
oughly Prussian. He is a living, breath
ing embodiment of all the qualities and
lack of qualities which, thru precisely
two centuries, have brought the little
Mark of Brandenburg up from puny
fife, with a poor scattered population
to the state of great kingdom. He
is saturated with all the instincts and
ideas which have raised his parvenu
Prussia to it's present eminence and his
character is the crown and flower or
these two centuries of might and ruth
lessness and spoiliation exalted into
creed.'
Specializing about him, Frederic pre-
dicted he was world-fighter, just as
was his ancestor Frederick the Great.
He pointed out that whenever Hohen-
zollern married girl of the house of
Brunswick, the eldest son was one who
was captain of men.
Written nearly three decades ago by
man long since dead, there is truth
in his words that makes them sound as
if they were written yesterday with
full knowledge of what this Hohenzol-
lern has brought upon the world. All
the latent dangers in the mans char!
acter were perfectly clear to Frederic:
He used the very word ruthlessness +"
concerning which we have heard SO
much since August, 1914. There is no
difference between the William we see
and the one Frederic saw save that we
know by his foul deeds what he is,
whereas the novelist knew him only by
intuition based upon observation. The
kaiser was always evil. He was al
ways a danger to the world. The only
