At one time even the Prussians almed at union with Poland "to free themselves from the Teutonie yoke,"
"Geographical situation and history favoured voluntary uniors of the uations situated between Russia and Germany," said M. Raczkiewicz.

CARRIER Theatre In World To-day
After months of scientific re search in South America, the Rockefeller Foundation recently reported what was considered important progress in the light on yellow fever.
Raymond B. Fosdick, prosi dent of the Foundation, said that institute scientists had come-to-the-tentative-conclusion that yellow fever was primarily a disease of jungle animals, transmitted to human beings by mosquitoes.
The "Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, is the strangest theatre in the world to-day. No play has been performed there since just before the war. The theatre is now the headquarters of ENSA, the organisation which has sent 53,000 shows to entertain the forces.
But the hustle and bustle and the telephones and temporary oflices in every spare corner have not destroyed the unique at- mosphere of "The Lane." In one room, called "Theatre Control," thirty columns of cards on the wall show the movement of shows for nine weeks ahead-revues in blue, plays in green, hands in yellow, and so on.

DUTCH TRICK ON GERMANS
A Dutch professor said his countrymen launched two sub- marines after the Germans invaded Holland and this happened: One, carrying a Dutch crew and a few German officers, kept right on going at its launching until it reached England; The second carried a German crew to its death.'
The story of the submarines, | sald Dr Peter de Bruyn, 31, of Leiden, Holland, was typical of the way the Dutch were resist- ing the German occupation.
Dr de Bruyn, who is now in America with his wife und two chli- dren, said the first submarine was nearly completed at Rollerdin shipyard, when the Germans Invaded the country.
