Prussian Promises
And the Poles

The writer Of this remarkable
diary brings acute analysis to Ger
many's promise to the Poles of
federation from the Muscovite
yoke" DR.. Muehlon impresses the
reader that he knows the exact value
Of Prussian promises. He writes:
Germany, in common with Aus
tr' Hungary, promises the Poles
liberation from the Muscovite
yoke If Prussia were at war with
Austria she would in a similar man
ner appeal to the population of the
glorious kingdom of Bohemia. The
purpose is so dirty as to soil the
noble word Aiberation.' Nor should
we Germans dare to talk Of the
Muscovite yoke We wear a yoke
ourselves, more decorative, to be
sure, but even more calling. And
we have subjected the Poles more
systematically to Infamous treat
ment than the Russians have. We
continue to persecute the Danes and
Alsatians to the point of death. But
the Poles are to be allowed. for
certain period to breathe the fresh
air and to receive a better prison
fare. in order that they may adver-
tise to their brethren, who languish
In Russia, the glory of Prussia, and
encourage them to overpower the
Russian jailer.
For it must be we'll understood
that in Prussia no one intends giving
the Poles anything at Prussian ex-
pense. The Prussian frontiers must
remain inteXible, like the outlines of
the hard-hearted, ignoble conception
OF the Prussian state. The purpose
is simply to incite the Poles against
the Car because one happens to fall
out with hin-to rob him of his
chattels, which We both once stole
and partitioned between US. Prussia
simply wants to make the war easier
for herself. She has not vcstige
of love or esteem for the soul or
body of the unhappy Polish people.
have always firmly maintained that
the subjugation of Poland could
never be achieved, even though three
cmperors should sit on the coffin of
Polish freedom, because so long as
the Poles lived they would defend
themselves. am therefore filled
with bitterness to see what incite-
ments are necessary to convert
Prussia into friend of the Russian
Poles"

More Inscriptions
Than Bismarck
DR.. Muehlon declares he Was
swept with a genuine sensation Of
horror when he read the German
troops were in Belgium.

the, justice and urgency of these
reasons, nevertheless our whole CON-

BILE for all time. Therefore. We
could not expect compliance on the
part of Belgium; for we ought to
have considered among the possibili-
ties of our policy the crushing of
Belgium, the destruction of her cities.
the humiliation of her armies and.
even more, the oppression of her
whole people, who would be Obliged
to oppose the invaders, even though
with the EXTREMIST reluctance. And

volved a certain delay.

II answered, I do not believe that
Why should the French commit
themselves to such an adventure
which would scatter their inferior
forces? In any case we could have
waited without danger until the
French had taken such step. News
of the first French movement in that
direction would have reached us in
plenty of time.
The rumors in circulation to the
effect that the French are already in
Belgium are entirely incredible.
One needs only to consider the mat
ter little in order to say to him
self that in that case the Belgians
would be taking hostile action
against the French, just as they are
now taking it against US. Belgium
has long had no greater apprehen-
sion than a violation OF her indepen-
dence and neutrality. You can read
in all the papers that before our
entry into Belgium sentiment there
was not unfavorable to US. But even
If popular sentiment had been en-
tlrely pro-French, l hold it to be
absolutely impossible that the BEL
gians would have made common

Making Crimes
For England

What is virtue in Germany was
regarded by German officials as the
blacklist of crimes were it done by
any other nation. For instance, the
fact that Britain had Communicated
Tor her own use completed and
partly completed ships which were
being built in British yards for Tur-
key was looked upon as an unheard
of violation of international law.
since Turkey was then a neutral
country, and as consequence Tur-
key was urged to expel all ENGLISH
men within her territories. DR..
Muehlon says of this official Prus.
sian announcement:
II cannot comment better on talk
of this sort than by making the fol-
lowing observations: The War De-
partment and the Marine Office in

Germany for foreign countries. with

MIDWAY DRIFTING
ON A GOOD LEDGE

The Midway is getting out a car
load of ore and may yet prove to
have one of the best ledges in camp.
The management is not saying much
about what is generally regarded as
one of the most significant finds in
the district but the hope is ex-
pressed that the ledge will prove
permanent Assays across the face
on Thursday averaged $1O1, yester-
day the same face gave an average
of $94 and today the values are ap.
parently holding OUT although the
samples have not been returned yet
The ledge was encountered on the
6S5foot level about 500 feet west OF
south of the new shaft and the
ledge has a strike due east and west
like all the regular formations of the
camp. The presence of values were
evident 1n raising about 25 feet
above the level on a south dipping
vein when north dipping vein
was met. A crosscut was run south
and in the course OF ten feet picked
up the ledge which appears to be
about four feet wide. One foot ol
this is very high grade and the
other three feet is good milling ore
The vein has been drifted on fol
fifteen feet and is all in new terri
tory in trachyte and promises t,
develop into a good orebody Tn,
values were opened last Saturday 70
the first time.
