On the other hand, if It did not exist there would be an esactly similar strip of territory running east and west and dividing Poland from Its coveted con- tact with the sea. Xs things are at present, travelers passing from one part of Germany to the other across the corridor find themselves subject- ed to some inconveniences, such as being loked 'a their compartments while the train is on Polish territory. If the corridor were the other way round, it would be the Polish travelers who would encounter difficulties.

The writer went on a sightseeing expedition under the auspices of a couple of Polish guides. On trying to enter a certain building the party found every diffiulty put in Its way. until two of its members explained discreetly that they were leaving tor London in a tew hours. English'/ Yes? AH difficulties immediately van- ished. .\part from the facial question, Dan- zig, though no longer incorporated in the Reich, is unmistakably German; there are certain economic issues which cause annoyance. Danzigers are aroused by the progress of the »i>- start port of Gdynia created on Polish soil not 20 miles away. The.v also re- sent somewhat tho "intrusiou" of Po- lish business men. Reasons for Rivalry Among the major questions which have agitated Polish-Danzig relations may be cited the affair of Ihe pillar boxes â€" trival in itself, but Involving the question whether Poland h.nl a privileged position in the town as well as in the port of Danzig â€" and the af- fair of the Westerplatte, whore Poland tried to establish an ammunition dump to the great indignation of the Danzigers, who declared the dump would be a menaeo to safety. Both cases went to the League, with the result that Poland won a temper- ed victory in the first, and Danzig in tho second. The pillar boxes are still there, and the observant traveler who arrives at Danzig by sea will still pass a secluded spot at the entrance to the Vistula Canal guarded by a Polish sentry. It is not easy to decide to what ex- tent the danzigers are right in think- ing that Gydnia Is depriving them of busine.-'s. Danzig has a number of unemployed, but so has the German port of Stettin, further to the west. The capacity of Danzig Harbor Is limited by the length of tho wharves around which the town Is built. It would be an extremely expensive busi- ness to expand the port beyond its present size. Gdynia Able to Expand Gdynia, on the other hand, is being built on the open sea and can expand Indefinitely without great difficulty, and for an outlay not prohibitive. Its present capacity Is about 2,000,000 tons of cargo a year and rapidly de- veloping. The population Is 30.000,000 and the annual natural Increase near- V 500,000. Nowhere In the world perhaps will you see so many children, and iho \\.\- tural resources of tho country are scarcely scratched. (Jiven peace and reasonably good govefninent. there Is little doubt that in the years to come both Danzig and Gdynia will be taxed to their utmost capacity to deal with growing volume of traiilc. .,-.••" -^ Apart from this, however. It must Oban. Scot. â€" .\bout 70 years ago, the manufacture of kelp from sea- weed was an important industry In the Hebrides. Two experts, repre- senting important French interests, have just concluded an examination of some parts of the Hebridean coast, with a view to arriving at a decision as to the prospects of reviving the kelp industry in the Western Isles. These experts believe that, as the e.x- act type of seaweed needed for the industry grows in great abundance oa rocks adjacent to the coast of the isles, the industry if conducted ef- ' ficiently would undoubtedly be suc- cessful. ! Formerly the helpers of the Heb- rides cut the seaweed oft the rocks and towed It to shore, but later the workers used weed torn by the waves off the rocks. .According to the visit- ing experti, the seaweed should be cut off the rocks to secure the best chemical yield, and rock surfaces at different points of the coast were in- spected to discover whether a weed- cutting machine as used by kelpers in France could be used in the Hebrides.

Sailor Describes Scapa Flow as .Allied \'es sels Surrounded Fleet Men of Verge of Mutiny Long Imprisonment Let to Quarrels .Aboard Craft Berlin.â€" On June 21, 1919, .\dmiral von Renter ordered the sinking of the German battleships which were at Scapa Flow. Richard Stumpf, a sail- or, describes in the "Vossiche Zel- tung," Berlin, this event. "In the "patriotic courses' which we had to submit to in the fall of 1917 we sailors often discu-^sed v.-hat should happen to the English fleat 'after our victory." Some thought ws should use the Briti.-:h battleships to increase 'he Gorman navy, while others, the mod- erates, pleaded for sinking all enemy ships. Any other jiossible solution did not seem to exist. "Kven when the German request for an armistice became known we still remained so incredibly naive. The enemy demanded that our battleships should remain locked up in neutral harbors. We thought: ".-Vfter peace has come the ships will go home again." This optimism prevailed even after the united .\lUed navies had locked us up in the Firth of Forth. ".\ manifesto of the chief of the navy, countersigned by the chief of the "Soldiers" Council," decreed on November IS. 191S. that all battle- ships should be disarmel within a week. It this condition were not ful- filled Heligoland would be occupied by the Allies and other retaliatory steps taken. "I doubt that we ever worked as i'l- teusely during the World War as Id those days of November, 191S. Our ships were ready to tight at almost a moment's notice; but to demobilize them ompletely reiiuired gigantic ef- forts. '"On November IT. in., ship, the Heli- goland, was completely disarmed. Thousands of fine yellow bombs lay on the pier, and our vessel lay fully a yard higher on the water because it had become so much lighter. "The neutrals, with the exception of Spain, didn't seem to want to lodge our vessels. Finally it was said that tho English insisted our vessels should first be searched In one of their war iiarbors and then would be seat to some "prison," Gathered for Last Trip "On November l;'. most of the Ger- man nevy, especially all modern bat- tleships, gathered for their last trip together. .\ dense autumn fos made navigation difficult and not one of us was glad that day. No sailors' band played. There were altogether thirty- two ships. The admiral's vessel was the battleship Frederick the Great on which Admiral von Houter, upon the wish of tho Krgllsh hoisted his ad- miral's flag. '•On the morning of November 21, the first English vessels appeared and a big cruiser traveled ahead of us to indicate the route through the 'prison I frontier.' Wa saw American l>uiile- shlps and tven a French crui.-ier sta- tioned there. When the fog lifted, we saw an impressive and yet depres.sing sight. The flerman navy was sur- rounileu by .-Vllied war vessels ".Ground n.)Cii, the English chief, .\dmiral Beatty. ordered by wireless: 'The G'irman flag must be taken ilown and cauuot li« hoisted any more with- out permission.' I "Two day.s later each single German !war vessel was examined from top to â- bottom. The entire German crew had ito go c>n deck during the i me. and all doors had to remain open. Only after thi.s in -estigation bad taken place w •?re we tolrl about our 'pri.son ^rts' iaiul then lost all hope of being sent I to neutral horbors. I "Several days passed before every- j thing was arranged. The exceedingly I monotonous service soon resulted in la great deal of homesickness among the German crew. The British under- |.itood this and therefore reduced the irew from 200 to twenty men, accord- ling to the size of the ship. I "Men were prohibited to go from I one ship to another, and none could go on shore. The fear of Bolshevist infection must have been the reason. But later oa our relations grew more friendly. The decree never was re- called. The mail was our only con- nection with home; but it came only with great delay since the British looked over all letters. "Because of our long imprisonment the crews on the various German ships grew very irritated, and there were quarrels between the so-called radical and moderate elements. Ad- miral von Reuter arranged with the Briti.sh admiral for a signal which wouhl serve to call the British to aid ' if there shouhl be any mutiny on a German ship â- "When the peace negotiations ap- proached their end we came to know that the Allies would not return our vessels to Germany. The English press s'loke about sinking them in a solemn ceremony "a the presence of all .-Mlied navies. j "The tension among us grew intol- ' erable. We all thought that Germany would not accept the peace treaty and i that there would ')e war again on ' June Z\. { "It was easy to sink our battleships, j .\ single man could do thaf. He just i had to open the valves, turn one cer- 1 tain 'flood valve." and then the water , streamed in. In peace times we had I practiced that a good many times and I had accompli.^hed it in halt a minute, i i "So we ijoi ted the war flag at noon on June :'l, aud a few minutes later I our ships sank. Unfortunately, the | British fired, because they were so ex- ' cited, and six sailors were killed." \ i i 1 ! The tiger's a treacherous, vicous, ' I malicious.
