London, June 27.--As striking IL
lustration of the extent to which the
iron hand is being used in Germany TO
crush the nationwide discomfort, the
Express cites the fact that there are
100000 political prisoners in the en-

and relief for all the poor and op-
pressed" says the Post. "Wilhelm H..

gram Of 22,l01 ships totalling 14,7l5,
900 deadweight tonnage. To carry

gram for 1918. 1919 and 1920 the sum

ping plying the seven seas TO convey
