With conditions fast returning to

Plans are now being laid by the de-
vartment in charge of such work to
take care of the anticipated influx.
Last year 40,000 persons came from
the United. States and settled in this
'country, and this year it is estimated
the number will not be less than 80,
000.
It is reported by immigration inspec-
tora that a large number of persons
from the Western and Middle States,
who have sold out their lands at the
prevailing high rates, are looking for

their nationality is concerned.

A. despatch from New York says:-
The first vessel of Palestine's con-
templated merchant marine hoisted
the blue and white flag of Zion andwas renamed "Hec-holutz" (The Pion-

ganization of America has announced.
The vessel Is owned and manned by
Jews, and is the first ot a fleet for
which Zionists plan an ultimate ap-
propriation of 310,000,000.
The vessel was formerly a German
craft and was purchased to ply along
the Palestine coast, making the ports
of Bierut, Tyre, Haifa, Jaffa, Gaza, and
several others in Egypt. The Zionist
engineers plan to convert Haifa into
one of the leading important commer-
cial centres of the near east.

concluded at Frankfort, not at Ver-
sailles, and it is interesting to note
that the Bismarck of the Wagner pic-
ture is a different man from the more
human character who, at Frankfort,
on May 10, 1871, signed the treaty that
brought the conhict to an end.
A curious diplomatic incident of
1871 throws a surprising light nu Bis-
marck's character, M. Pouyer-Quer-
tier, who represented the newly es-
tablished French republic, told the
story, and Bismarck himself after-
wards confirmed it in a conversation
with Sir Charles Dike. o0
Negotiations had almost been bro-
ken ' because Germany insisted that
its armies should continue to occupy
France. The French envoys were in
the worst, had gone to bed In his hotel
room. Before dawn there was a
knock at his door, and the Frenchman
got up in his nightgown to find that
Bigmarelt had come in full uniform
to renew ilio • discussion. Insisting
that Pouyer-Quertier would catch cold
in his nightgown, the Chancellor
forced him back to bed and relighted
the tire. Then, drawing up a chair.
he spread the treaty out an a small
table and took up the tangle of claimsclaimsand demands.
After a prolonged talk, saying that it
was dry work, he stood up and rang
for beer. After the beer had been
brought, lie rang again, asked for
kirsch and poured a quantity of it in-
to the beer. Taking the poker, he
made it red-hot in the fire, stirred the
mixture of beer and kirsch, and in-
' vited the Frenchman to drink. The
Frenchman did so, saying:
"I think ::f my poor country as I
drink."
Bismarck, clapping him on the
shoulder, announced that he was "a
good fellow," and that the evacuation
of France should take place at once.
There and then the final article ot
the treaty of Frankfort, putting an end
to the Franco-Prussian War, was
signed on that small table at the bed-
side of Pouyer-Quertier in a little`
despair, and Pouyer-Quertier, fearing hotel in Frankfort.

dogs are used to transport goods, be-
