GERMAN TRADERS FEAR RUSSIAN BOYCOTT RERUN. —With no little anxiety, German merchants and manufacturers are noticing the rapidly growing feel ing of hatred against everything Ger man lu Russia, which has been espe cially marked since King Edward's meeting with the czar at Reval. This feeling is especially strong in Russian Poland, whose center, War saw, is the great distributing point for merchandise that finds it way from the contingent into Russia. Nearly all goods that go to Russia have to pass through Warsaw. The Poles have for years been in censed by the treatment of their brethren in German Poland. Thousands of Poles have been ex patriated and the expropriation bill to take away the estates of the nobles in German Poland recently passed by the Prussian Diet has created a very bitter feeling against Germany and German manufacturers. A boycott of German goods on an enormous scale has been instituted throughout Poland and Russia, and the merchants who have hitherto been buying from Germany now want American or English goods. The loss to Germany and the cor responding gain to the two countries named, if manufacturers there will' rls e to the occasion, can be gathered from the fact that the volume of the j German trade with the Russian Em-j ptr e Is at leas' 1250,000,000 a year. tlon, to come, with their carts and horses, and repair, for 20 or 30 days, all the roads. . The Austro-Hungarian government has already murh ameliorated these hard conditions, sometimes by accept ing money as compensation for labor, and also by interpreting the terms of service in a more liberal spirit. Nevertheless the principle of unpaid labor for the repair of the roads was maintained. The abolition of this vil leinage will certainly be joyfully re ceived In Rosnia. especially as the roads "robot" still exists In Turkey under the new constitution.
