The moment you arriva in Pomerania you feel the difference of the atmosphere from Berlin, saga a correspondent of a Home paper. Quite a different political language is spoken the same phrases and formulas that you find used in Hungary today, thei same ignorance of all the political conditions save those of loyalty to the throne and State, age-long tradition and respectforauthority, the

ignorance of sil economic needs save those of landowners, the same intolerance and hatred for democratic ideas, and the same sarage denuncia- tion of them as of Bolshevisan.. Pomerania, as the holy place of Prussian militarist monar- chism, is unchangeable, yet it is only a couple of hours' railway run from Berlin, in its eyes sink of Bolshevism and

The National Convention Republican leaders are already speculating on the effect of adoption of the League of Nations on the chances of the party's success at the November.elections. It is pointed out that the Republicans favour an international association providing for an instant general international conference whenever peace is threatened. The Republicana.believe the United States can participate therein without compromising the national independence or involving it in a multitude of quarrels, the merits of which they may be unable to judge.

Another illustration of this underground movement may be given.
